The signs read things like “Decolonize Your Ass,” “Another Jew For A Free Palestine,” and “Israel is Toxic YT Girl Energy,” on a chilly Saturday afternoon in Herbert Von King park in nearby Bed-Stuy. Protests had shut down various thoroughfares in central Manhattan during the week before and the issue was making its way into Brooklyn through a show organized two days earlier by members of a local, self-described “Pan Arab Hardcore” band called Pure Terror.
