Hundreds of members of the Jewish community attended a rally at the Holocaust Memorial Park in Brighton Beach over the weekend to mark 100 days since the terrorist group Hamas abducted 240 people in Gaza, of which 132 people remain unaccounted for.
Jewish associations in Brooklyn are calling on the United States government to put more pressure on Hamas to free the American and Israeli hostages. Meanwhile, community members say they have experienced harassment and backlash from human-rights activist groups demanding a complete ceasefire from the Israeli government in the Gaza Strip.
