New York Attorney General Letitia James has forced the shutdown of Betar, a pro-Israel activist group, amid two years of unchecked pro-Hamas riots that have included assaults on Jewish New Yorkers, blocked streets, and terrorized synagogues.
- After ignoring widespread violence and intimidation from pro-Hamas and leftist groups—including mobs chanting “We support Hamas” outside synagogues—James targeted Betar for alleged violations of civil rights laws.
- The AG accused Betar of “widespread persecution” of Muslims, Arabs, and Palestinians, citing inflammatory rhetoric such as members calling keffiyehs “rape rags” and claiming devout Muslims “hate America.”
- Betar was also criticized for sharing content that mocked Palestinian civilian deaths, expressed hatred toward Gazans, and called for further action against perceived threats.
- The group reportedly harassed individuals it labeled “Muslim terrorists” and threatened to share lists of activists with foreign authorities to restrict their travel.
- James launched the investigation in March 2025 following complaints, leading to a settlement that requires Betar to cease threats, harassment, and encouragement of violence—or face a $50,000 penalty.
- Betar has indicated it will dissolve its New York not-for-profit status and wind down operations in the state.
- The article highlights a clear double standard: no similar actions against groups supporting Hamas terrorism or assaulting Jews and police, while Betar’s defensive activism is shut down.
- Critics view this as political bias from James, an ally of pro-Palestinian figures, protecting Hamas supporters while suppressing Jewish self-defense.
