A mob of angry anti-Israel protesters descended on a synagogue in Teaneck, New Jersey, on Monday night, venting their anger against a group of Israeli paramedics who visited to discuss their experiences after the October 7 attack.

CBS News reported (original links):

The anger continues to rise between Palestinians and Israelis in Teaneck. The latest incident happened Monday at the middle of a residential corner outside of the Congregation Bnai Yeshurun Temple.

On Monday night, an event run by ZAKA, an international organization that is central in providing those slaughtered a dignified burial, was being held at the temple when pro-Palestinian demonstrators converged.

Monday wasn’t the first time pro-Palestinian demonstrators have shown up in Teaneck. In October, the town council voted on a referendum to denounce Hamas.

The group of paramedics known as ZAKA began as an association of religious Jews who stepped forward to collect the remains of terror victims. According to Jewish law, bodies must be buried as intact as possible. Later, the group also began to offer paramedic services, often speeding through traffic on motorcycles to reach accident and terror sites.
