Video Goes Viral
A shocking video capturing an incident of antisemitism has gone viral, receiving over 7.3 million views since it was posted on Sunday morning. The clip shows an 11-year-old Muslim girl and her family confronting a rabbi in Times Square.
Navratilova’s Response
Tennis legend Martina Navratilova expressed her dismay at the video, calling it “pretty sad” and “pathetic.” Her comments highlight the distressing nature of the incident.
Disturbing Context
Rabbi Shmuley Boteach, who was the target of the antisemitic remarks, provided context for the video on social media. He shared that the girl and her family approached him and told him to kill himself because he is Jewish. The family then proceeded to humiliate him, with their small child even kicking him. Boteach emphasized the need to identify the individuals involved.
War on Antisemitism
This incident is part of a larger trend of rising antisemitism in the United States and around the world. The recent Hamas terror attack in Israel, resulting in numerous casualties, has further exacerbated the situation. Israel has declared war on Hamas, and the conflict shows no signs of abating. Benny Gantz, an Israeli War Cabinet Minister, stressed the country’s fight for its “existence” in a Christmas message.
A Message of Unity
Despite the ongoing conflict, Gantz emphasized the unbreakable bond and friendship between Israel and its allies around the globe. He pledged to protect the Holy Land and preserve religious freedom for all who worship there.
Ongoing Violence
The violence in Gaza continues to escalate, with casualties on both sides. As the situation unfolds, the international community closely watches the developments.
