From Gaza with Hate    

For 11 days as Israel defended itself from a murderous aerial assault, Jews from Los Angeles to London, Toronto to Berlin were intimidated and beaten. In  the week after the crisis began, the ADL reported 193 incidents of Jew-hatred, up from 131 the previous week. In a notable escalation from previous rounds of Gaza conflict where genocidal chants of “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” were heard in city centers, this time marauding pro-Palestinians actively sought out Jewish victims, often in residential areas.

One high-profile case was that of Joseph Borgen, 29, a Long Island resident who was heading to a pro-Israel rally in Manhattan last Thursday when he was set upon in front of the Diamond District. College student Waseem Awawdeh, 23, and a gang of other pro-Palestinian protesters attacked him without warning, beating him repeatedly, with Awawdeh kicking him in the face and ribs.

The near-lynch was just one of the anti-Semitic attacks in America that set social media alight. Earlier last week, Los Angeles experienced its own anti-Semitism scare. A man was seen on video running through the streets of Orthodox L.A., chased by two cars bearing Palestinian flags. Still shaking three days after the assault, he refused to allow his name to be printed. “If my name is out there, I’m dead meat,” he told Mishpacha. “These Palestinians, you never know what they can do.”

Thousands of miles away, London saw more anti-Jewish intimidation. A convoy of six cars draped in Palestinian flags drove through predominantly-Jewish Golders Green, yelling anti-Semitic threats. In the atmosphere of intimidation that followed, children were told to stay inside. The language was so extreme that when Home Secretary Priti Patel denounced the incident in Parliament days later, she wouldn’t quote it in full.
