Haredi priest attacked by about 15 Arabs in Jerusalem - just because he looked at them

December 15, 2024   

An ultra-Orthodox youth was attacked last Friday night in the Baka neighborhood of Jerusalem by about 15 Arabs, after he passed by them on a sports field in the neighborhood - and looked at them. One of the Arabs playing there turned to the youth and taunted him, - and when he pushed him off him, about 15 Arabs attacked him and 'blasted' him with blows. The rioters broke one of his teeth and beat him all over his body. He was taken by ambulance for medical treatment at Hadassah Mount Scopus Hospital. After the incident, the youth filed a complaint with the police through the Honenu organization. Attorney Haim Bleicher of Honenu, who represents the youth, demands that the police arrest the rioters and bring them to justice. "Islamic terrorism seeks every opportunity to harm Jews. A harsh and firm response must be given to those rioters. The police must treat the incident as terrorism in every sense of the word and ensure strict punishment that will create a deterrent for anyone who would think of attacking Jews.".
