A Brooklyn woman has been arrested on hate crime charges over a viral video that appears to show her lobbing coffee at a man wearing an Arab scarf, and his toddler son, reported the New York Post on Thursday.
"Her arrest came nearly two weeks after a video went viral of a vile attack in Fort Greene on Nov. 7, which was exactly a month after Hamas terrorists slaughtered Israelis," reported Snejana Farberov. "Indian American dad Ashish Prashar, 40, was wearing a keffiyeh — a traditional black-and-white Arab scarf — while at the basketball court at Edmonds Playground on Dekalb Avenue with his 18-month-old son when the woman started hurling Islamophobic abuse, he told CBS News."
“She told me several times that I didn’t belong here,” said Prashar, who added that she also proclaimed, "You are a terrorist."
The woman, 48-year-old Hadasa Bozakkaravani, also faces charges of assault, assault of a person under 11, reckless endangerment, aggravated harassment, and menacing, according to the report.
This is not the first such incident of aggressive profiling this week.
Earlier this week, former State Department adviser Stuart Seldowitz was recorded harassing a Halal food cart vendor in Manhattan, telling him more Palestinian children should be killed. And last night, former Trump administration Israel adviser and Trump Organization legal executive Jason Greenblatt threw a social media fit over two United Airlines employees at Newark Liberty International Airport wearing what he thought were keffiyeh, but were actually just scarves with little airplanes on them.
