Anti-Semitic Attacks Sweep Across the U.S.

The recent conflict between Israel and Hamas has led to a rise in anti-Semitic attacks all across the United States.  In Los Angeles, there was an attack caught on video of a group of Pro-Palestinian protestors driving by and yelling insults at Jews who were dining outside at a sushi restaurant.  The antagonists screamed "Death to Jews" & "Free Palestine" and soon began throwing bottles and other items at the patrons.  Soon afterward, several of the assailants got out of the car and physically attacked several Jews.  In another unrelated incident, a video caught another assailant in his car attempting to run down a Jewish man. 
 
Waseem Awawdeh: In the Center Holding Crutch
Unfortunately, these attacks were not limited to Los Angeles.  In New York City, a gang of Pro-Palestinian protestors attacked and brutally beat Joseph Borgen, a 29-year-old Orthodox Jew (Link to Joseph's Testimony).  The incident caught on video showed Joseph being brutally beaten with fists, signs, and metal crutches and then being pepper sprayed in the face as he lay beaten in the street.  Recently, one of the assailants, 23-year-old Waseem Awawdeh, was arrested.  During his arrest, Waseem expressed no remorse and said he'd do it again.  

One of the suspects in the Los Angles attack has recently been apprehended, as has Waseem Awawdeh for his role in attacking Joseph Borgen in New York.  


Waseem has been in trouble with the law in the past.  He has previously been arrested for reckless endangerment, driving without a license, and carrying a weapon.  At this present time, Waseem is currently being held on a $10,000 bail.  Sadly, these kinds of things are not uncommon at many "Pro-Palestinian" demonstrations.  All too often I've read reports of such demonstrators attacking Jews and other Pro-Israeli activists and many such demonstrations contain hateful chants like "Death to Jews" and "Hamas!  Hamas!  Jews, Jews to the Gas!"  While there are many within the Pro-Palestinian movement who legitimately want peace and reconciliation, there is nevertheless a very vocal minority that do not.

"'I worked 40 years.' and 'I worked all my life to give my family a better home, and they treat me like  [expletive].'"   A family member of Majeda Kassem said there was constant verbal abuse going on in the home - adding that Kassem's wife contemplated leaving, but stayed for the sake of her children.

Apartheid in the Middle East

THE MIDDLE EAST'S REAL APARTHEID By Efraim Karsh "Israel Apartheid Week his cities and campuses throughout the world.  This charge, of course, is not only completely false, but the inverse of the truth.  If apartheid is indeed a crime against humanity, Israel is actually the only apartheid-free state in the Middle East.  By contrast, apartheid has been an integral part of the Middle East for over a millennium, and the Arab Muslim nations continue to legally, politically, and socially enforce this discriminatory practice against their hapless minorities. Religious Intolerance:  Muslims historically viewed themselves as distinct from, and superior to, all non-Muslims.  Non-Muslims, known in history as "Dhimmis," never enjoyed equal rights under Islam.  Even non-ruling Muslim factions have been historically oppressed by their dominant co-religionists Ethnic inequality:  This legacy of intolerance extends beyond the religious sphere...
