Protesters and counter-protesters flooded the streets outside Councilman Kalman Yeger’s office in Borough Park Thursday – each triggered by his tweet that stated that Palestine doesn’t exist.
The group against Yeger was met by counter-protesters, who brought a similar amount of energy to support their elected official.
Before long, things boiled over into a heated showdown where it was difficult to hear what either side was saying.
News 12 reached out to Councilman Yeger’s office, but it has not yet responded.
