The city extracted the licensing of a waked community in Queens, which forced the members to pledge “Solidarity with persecuted and marginalized people” from Palestine – but “extremists” behind space pledged a challenge to resist the regime.
The garden department canceled the license on May 5, eight months after reporting the post for the first time about the Sunset Community Park, on the Oonddonk and Willoughby road in Ridgewood, which had a special section called “Poppies for Valestine”.
The agency said that the ten “community agreements” in the park – which included the paradox to adhere to the intersection of “violent behavior or discourse that expresses all forms of hatred” – has violated garden instructions, which led to the end of the license.
The agency said: “Parks told the park that the requirements of its membership were not compatible, because they asked potential members to confirm the political and ideological views of the group as shown in the community agreements.”
The property must be wiped by June 6.
Park organizers erupted on Instagram that they were “closed by Transversobes and Zionists racist”, but they are not jacket, as they launched a petition via the Internet to save the park and accuse the city of “illegal termination” with its license license.
“We were distinguished to honor the Trisk's legacy, and not tolerance of the hateful discourse, and to stand against genocide, and we refused to decline in the face of complaints from a fanatic, fanatical, fanatic,” according to the group, which she said that the city “uses revenge tactics and armed arms.”
The group threatens “legal and direct procedures” against the city and asks supporters to contact their local representatives in an attempt to reflect its overthrow.
Laura Merik's garden organizer did not want to comment.
Christina Wilkenson, one of the first supporters, said that the park that opened in September 2023 began as a non -political endeavor, but was kidnapped by madness.
Data that supports Palestinians has become abundant on the park's Instagram page now. One of the publications was characterized by a painting with the phrase “from the river to the sea”, which is anti -Semitic phrase calling for the destruction of Israel.
The park also called on the members to adhere to the use of “the right pronouns of people” and the question “if we are not sure.”
Others said in the state, “We are focusing and celebrating the stranger, transit, disabilities, with chronic diseases, Fem, poor, immigrants, refugees, fat bodies, and a society rich in boredom,” others said in the state.
Sarah Sherter Merglad, a resident of Ridjoud, said she was eventually comfortable with the city.
“I hope that, under new leadership, [the garden] “It will become a safe space for everyone, and that people in society who want the garden will finally feel welcome to do so,” said Sherart Mersim, who said the garden's delegations made her feel threatened in her neighborhood.
The site was built by the Ministry of Gardens and the non -profit for profit in part of a sports field owned by the city's Ministry of Education. The cost of taxpayers was not immediately available.
Parks said that the site will continue to exist as a community garden, but with the limited arrival of the public from now, and whenever a deal is ink with a new group that agrees to seize it.
“Public community gardens are for all, and not only those who pass a political test,” said a member of the city council, Robert Holden (D-Koynz), one of the Paul who prolonged the region. “If this group of extremists wants to create an exclusive space, they must buy special lands and do so in their time and their destruction.”
