BROOKLYN (VINnews) — In the heavily Chassidic neighborhood of Williamsburg, a black truck resembling vehicles used by Hamas terrorists on October 7 has been a disturbing, and pretty constant reminder of the horrific massacre.

Called by many the “Hamas Truck,” it is regularly parked near the local Chabad and its preschool, showing chilling images of blood and bloody hands, fake bullets, Palestinian flags and an image of terrorist Yasser Arafat.
Bloody handprints spread across the vehicle’s window are a symbol of the Ramallah lynching in 2000, where two Israeli reservists were savagely killed by a murderous Palestinian mob.
Its fake license plate says “OH GAZA.”
Local Jewish residents say the truck’s presence is a traumatic and painful reminder of the October 7 attack.

“Never in my life did I think I would feel scared to be Jewish in Brooklyn — especially Williamsburg,” a woman who’s lived in the neighborhood 15 years told the NY Post.
The truck belongs to 21-year-old Jose Litef. Despite numerous requests from residents, he has refused to respond or address the complaints. He has been seen at the location, playing loud Arabic music. Additionally, he has asked the police to remove journalists and residents, claiming they are harassing him.
His stepbrother, Anas Arman, 34, claims that Litef is too young to understand the damage he is causing.
“He doesn’t understand the symbolism of the bloody hands and their impact on the Jewish community,” said Arman. According to him, he and his brother are of Palestinian origin. “We love Palestine, but we just want to be good neighbors,” he said.
The two brothers have been operating a Caribbean food truck in the neighborhood for over six years.
Michael, a local resident, told Ynet: “This truck isn’t just a vehicle; it’s a symbol of hatred and terror. When I see it, I feel like someone is trying to scare us, to make us feel unsafe in the place we call home.”
“This is a trauma that resurfaces every time I see this truck,” a resident named Dafna told Ynet. “I’ve lived here for over a decade, raised my children here, and the fact that such a truck is parked near their school is simply unbearable.”
Isn’t it ok in NYC to riot and burn cars? Why doesn’t someone torch the truck.
Why aren’t they warned by police to remove this vehicle or it will be impounded and not retrieved without a hefty penalty of $1,000 plus?
Burn the truck
Whatever happened to the “CHAPTZEM” of my youth?
Torments, feh. Hire someone to steal it and take it up to the Bronx, after which it will never be seen again.
Better yet, throw red paint on the truck..
If it was anti lgbqrgtwxyz it would be impounded in a second. Sounds like a good lawyer could be used against city employees not helping . Like in colombia
Maybe a judge can sentence Guiliani to be Mayor again, as public service, in return for dropping legal proceedings against him
These pieces of chicken you know what have no guts to park in in front of Satmar.
We need a good old-fashioned Satmar style chaptzem to beat the you know what out of these horrendous disgusting pieces of garbage.
When you let these animals get bolder and bolder and destroy property, cause mayhem, hold mass protests without a permit, and get away with it all, expect this and much more to take place. That’s how it works. Any and every Police Department knows this. You don’t nip crime in the bud, it just grows and festers. The low life Democrat politicians allow this to go on. Then again, the Williamsburg kehila vote for and kiss up to these politicians, it’s hard to feel bad for them. You get what you vote for.
Just throw stones at it..
it’s too bad hassidim aren’t into diy. because replacing the tires on that gaudy piece of junk can be an expensive life lesson for that jerk.

The city must undertake a massive citywide crackdown against cars (cars, trucks, vans…) involved in monkey business, such as those with illegal plates, whether phony temporary plates, phony out of state plates (insurance fraud), those with illegal license plate covers, altered plates, illegally tinted windows, cars that make excessive noise…after all, the police don’t eat donuts all day, do they? They must take a break and work sometimes.
If there is no license plate or Vin # visible call the cops and report it as abandoned. If enough people call 311 the cops will have it towed, but the guy can avoid the tow by putting on license plates and have the vin # visible.
Another way is to remove the air from the tire or just loosen the tire’s lug nuts. The cops can’t do anything because you didn’t damage the car. The owner can’t prove it’s his car since there is no license plate or Vin # visible.
Buy from Amazon a ‘Quick Loaded Center Punch’, you place it against a car window & you press a small clip and the window breaks WITHOUT SPLATTERING ALL OVER & WITHOUT ANY NOISE, easy to handle and without any fanfare.
HaShem is sending us a message. Come back to Eretz HaKodesh and live openly like a Jew.
I put out a call to the veteran community I work with to see if anyone wanted some rough playtime with these guys.. that truck will have more then red paint on it
My friend ripped down the other flag on that disgraceful truck so there’s only 1 flag left, the owner only comes after 6pm so anyone can easily rip the flag down and it’s parked right by bedford and north 5th so go for it!!!!
Is Neturei Karta involved?
I saw it yesterday on the BQE. The way to combat this is with an SUV painted with a message of brotherhood and understanding.
Bust all the tires teach this guy a lesson he won’t forget
Yeah. Probably driven by Neturei Karta and company.
“The two brothers have been operating a Caribbean food truck in the neighborhood for over six years.”
maybe it’s time to visit that food truck, and exercise the right to free speech.
Burn it.
Why don’t they put a huge van or truck or bus with the Israeli flag on it next to this truck!!! That should do it!!

I think is a GREAT idea to bring attention to this idiot and his stupid truck. Post it on social media. Get not so famous personalities, gold-digging politicians, and people we never heard of involved.
Because it’s obvious that the ONE thing this idiot does NOT want is…
PUBLICITY!
