1930s Germany or 2013 Jerusalem? “Video: Arabs Gang Up on Hareidim in Jerusalem,” by Gil Ronen for Israel National News, January 12 (thanks to Elisheva):
A disturbing video began circulating on Facebook Saturday evening. It shows a group of about 20 Arabs ganging up on two helpless Hareidi Jews, kicking one of them, hurling snowballs in their faces and humiliating them. At one point, one of the Jews falls to the ground, apparently slipping on the ice as he is chased up some steps.
The attack apparently took place near Shechem Gate. The Jews were most likely on their way back from praying at the Kotel. Border Police who are usually stationed in the area are nowhere to be seen.
Many find the scene reminiscent of 1930s Germany, at least in terms of the Arabs’ sheer gall and feeling of invulnerability….
Arab attacks on Jews have grown bolder, more violent and more frequent in recent years, as foreign-funded NGOs and leftists within the legal system and press have succeeded in hamstringing Israeli security forces and limiting their ability to use force against rioters.
