On the way back from the Western Wall: Arabs attacked with snow and abused haredim


Not only peace and serene: The snowfalls in Jerusalem last Thursday, it seems, has also become grounds for a nationalist incident.


Toldos Avraham Yitzchak teenagers were attacked by young Arabs, near Damascus Gate. "Dozens of Arabs surrounded us and began throwing snowballs," said one of them. "They played with our hats, threw them to the ground and gave us punches and kicks in the face and back. We were two against fifty and there was nothing we could do."


He also said: "I was sure I would not get out of it alive. I was wet to the bones from the snow they threw at me and fully surrounded by Arabs and nobody helped." Eventually the two managed to escape without permanent damage.

The boys chose not to file a police complaint because "we do not believe that the complaint will help", as they put it.


Video documentation posted to the Internet with the abuse photographed by young Arabs led to many comments, most of them furious. On a Facebook page called "We are all against left-wing terrorism, the documentation received the following headline: "Snow pictures from Jerusalem the police do not want you to see! And the media hides."

Hundreds of surfers commented on the video where yeshiva students are seen being attacked, "Disgusting," wrote one of the surfers. "If it was the reverse they would be talking about it in the media and dig until they say we found the rioters and put them on trial, but when it is Arabs on Jews then 'it's not so bad'; Shame on this country for not protecting its citizens."


Others attacked the media and defined it as "leftist."

Another user wrote: "We are the problem; we look after these cannibals. We feel sorry for them, we pay them insurance, we employ them, so do not be surprised that that is what you see in the video."


There were also surfers who chose to attack the haredim, although these were attacked by Arabs, "If these were Satmar, I am in favor."
