Morocco: Muslims beat and kick elderly rabbi as “revenge for what the Jews are doing in Gaza”

Jul 14, 2014 9:28 am By Robert Spencer

And “on July 11, a pro-Palestinian woman attacked a pro-Israel activist at a rally in Boston, grabbing her camera and scuffling with her.” These are just two of the many violent attacks by Muslims on Jews around the world in the wake of Israel’s defensive action. The mainstream media nonetheless continues to accord the “Palestinians” the moral high ground.

“Assailant Savages Morocco Rabbi Over IDF Gaza Op, Other Attacks Reported in Australia, Paris, Boston (VIDEO),” Algemeiner, July 13, 2014 (thanks to Pamela Geller):

A venerated rabbi in Casablanca, Morocco, sustained serious injuries, including broken bones, in a beating by an Arab assailant on Friday night, according to a local report.

The suspect, who was in his 20s, and who local officials said was known to the police, attacked Rabbi Moshe Ohayon near a synagogue after evening services, breaking several of his ribs in the process.

“This is revenge for what the Jews are doing in Gaza,” the rabbi told police the assailant said during the ambush attack, in which he beat and kicked the rabbi in the chest and head.

Passersby did not heed his calls for help, the report said.

Community leaders were shocked by the boldness of the attack on Ohayon, who is a major figure in the ancient city, which has been home to Jews for centuries.

“Since the recent events in Judea, Samaria, and the Gaza Strip, there is a growth in harassment of Jews,” a Jewish resident of the city told Alyaexpress News. “It’s become really scary to live here.”

The attack joins similar reports worldwide, of Jews coming under physical or verbal assaults for supporting Israel in its ongoing Operation Protective Edge.

Last Thursday, in Melbourne, Australia, a former IDF soldier reported being beaten and cut with a knife by several Arabs who called him a “Jewish dog,” during the attack, according to Israel’s Ma’ariv daily.

In northeast Paris, unknown assailants hurled a firebomb at the entrance to a synagogue, according to Israel’s Haaretz daily. There was minor damage, but no injuries in the attack, according to the National Bureau for Vigilance Against Anti-Semitism, or BNVCA.

On the first day of the operation in Gaza on July 8, a man bearing a “Middle Eastern appearance” pepper-sprayed a Jewish 17-year-old girl on a Paris street, the group said.

“Dirty Jewess, inshallah you will die,” the man shouted at her, according to the BNVCA report.

On July 11, a pro-Palestinian woman attacked a pro-Israel activist at a rally in Boston, grabbing her camera and scuffling with her. Watch that incident [above].

    Leading up to the sixties, we Jews never saw violent anti-Semitism in Casablanca or heard of it in other towns. We mingled freely with the arabs on all fronts of business without fear, thank goodness.

    But, as things began to sour against us, all who wanted to immigrate to Israel had to do it clandestinely, for fear of being imprisoned or worse.
    Yet, we never acceded to the level of refugees, which we were, a status which those arabs in Israel milk for all its worth.

      Today Spain’s new king was in Morrocco and took off his shoes to enter som mosque. Obvioulsy Spain is into appeasing Musliims as they have about 1 million of them in the country. They should never have left in even one of them as their forefathers fought for 800 years to get rid of them from their country and now they are being allowed in freely.
      I am sorry fo this poor elderly rabbi. Supposedly Morrroco is more “modeate” than other islamic countries. One wonders

    If you’re Jewish and in Morocco you are so stupid, there is no help for you…

    I would like to ask this Muslim 20 year old,why did he stay at home all this time and did not go on to the streets to protest against Pres.Assad for killing and gassing Muslims wholesale?Assad is a better proposition than an innocent Rabbi,In short,Arabs and Muslims can kill with impunity,but a Jew should not defend himself, not any more,NEVER AGAIN.

    This is a terribly sad situation. Violence will only make more violence. Casablanca has been a cosmopolitan city for centuries and I am so disappointed to see such things. Prayers for all who are hurt.

      ” I am so disappointed to see such things”

      The use of the word ‘disappointed’ suggests you predicated a positive outcome.

      I suggest you read the koran.

    I would advise all the remaining Jews in Morocco to leave. Now.

    For Israel, or for America or Australia; but to have no illusions, for there are few places in the world that are not now afflicted with Mohammedan gang colonies.

    From the article – “Last Thursday, in Melbourne, Australia, a former IDF soldier reported being beaten and cut with a knife by several Arabs who called him a “Jewish dog,” during the attack, according to Israel’s Ma’ariv daily.”

    I read a few reports on that.

    The good thing is: his IDF training kicked in a little ways into the attack, and he then **successfully defended himself**, such that he sent the two attackers packing…one of them, at least, with some significant physical damage, in his (Mr Gomo’s) opinion.

    The Jewish Telegraph Agency and the Daily Mail both covered the story in some detail.

    Here’s the JTA
    http://www.jta.org/2014/07/11/news-opinion/world/report-jew-wearing-idf-shirt-assaulted-in-melbourne#ixzz37Kl5XI00

    “I noticed them when it was too late. They jumped on me, started punching, screaming ‘kalb Yehud!’ (Jewish dog), ‘Allahu akbar’ (God is great) and something about Gaza in Arabic,” Gomo said.
    “One of them tried to pull me to the ground,

    “**I started fighting and punching back,” he recalled. “I grabbed one of them by the throat and screamed at them, cursing in Arabic as well. This shocked them, they ran off.**”

    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2689746/Former-Israeli-soldier-beaten-anti-Semitic-attack.html

    “‘Initially I just attempted to shield myself from their blows, and then one of them grabbed me from my left side as if he was trying to drag me somewhere,’ he said.
    ‘At that point, I realised it was very serious and started fighting back.
    **’I threw punches at both of them and managed to grab one of them by the throat which I proceeded to squeeze as hard as I could.** [my emphasis – dda]
    Mr Gomo did not notice a weapon at the time, but police say this slash was most likely caused by a screwdriver
    ‘I pointed at the other man with my free hand and yelled Arabic curses at them as aggressively as possible.
    ‘This startled them quite a bit and when I pushed the one whose neck I was holding away, they fled towards Kooyong Road.'”
