A man quietly counter-protesting an anti-Israel rally in a heavily Jewish neighbourhood was reportedly detained for an hour after activists accused him of hate speech, incitement, and “Islamophobia.”

Video and photos recorded by independent reporter and lawyer Caryma S’ad show a man dressed in a Muslim Niqab draped with a Pride flag. In many Islamic theocracies, women are forced to wear the Niqab.
