Pro-Israel students ‘assaulted’ at Boston protest

[King_David]

Jewish students called ‘Jesus killers’ and swarmed by dozens of anti-Israel demonstrators at rally outside Israeli consulate

BOSTON – A protest outside Israel’s consular offices in downtown Boston turned ugly Friday when 100 anti-Israel demonstrators “swarmed” some dozen Israel supporters.

Surrounded by pro-Palestinian activists chanting “Jesus killers” and “drop dead,” several pro-Israel students claimed they were “physically assaulted” by the protesters at the rally’s close.

Whereas the pro-Israel supporters were mainly university students, the anti-Israel crowd was largely female, and older, accompanied by a dozen children holding signs and helping chant about “Israeli apartheid” and “war crimes.”

Post-rally, the pro-Israel students immediately took to social media, exposing what they say Israel activists around the US face – to varying degrees – when they decide to publicly support the Jewish state.

Organized by activist Adam Akkad and Jewish Voice for Peace’s local chapter, the demonstrators protested the Israel Defense Force’s current Operation Protective Edge, but made no reference to the hundreds of Hamas rockets targeting Israeli civilians, or the use of Gaza civilians as human shields for Hamas.

1. Jewish students called ‘Jesus killers’

Seems to be a motivator for people at these rallies.

6. Chloe Valdary who writes for ToI was one of those assaulted by older women and children

One of the assaulted students – Chloe Valdary, a University of New Orleans senior – pressed charges on Saturday at the Boston Police Department against a woman related to the incident.

“There were several cops who literally did nothing,” wrote Valdary on her Facebook page after the protest. She also posted videos and photos of the “disturbing” incident, the first of which she has faced in Boston.

“They surrounded us, they swarmed us,” said Valdary, who is in Boston for the summer as a fellow with the Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting (CAMERA).

7. Think they called her a 'Jesus Killer' ?

Doubtful , that probably was reserved for the Jewish Participants.

[azurnoir]

8. considering these are claims made on a web campaign to smear JVP I doubt the veracity

as anyone can say anything without a shred of real evidence and especially seeing as how claims that Palestinians say Jews killed Jesus was very recently a popular meme among the antiPalestinian crowd, in fact we had a thread concerning here recently would you like to revisit that, I could post it for you if you'd like

[King_David]

9. Already posted,

Calling Jews Christ Killers is classic , repulsive , ignorant anti-Semitism 101.

[azurnoir]

10. good I asked you a question you never answered I'll repost it and what it applies to so you can

finally answer it here

[King_David]

11. As I said already posted in this thread.

unverifiable ? Huh ?

http://www.democraticunderground.com/113463731

[azurnoir]

12. yes unverifiable because the what was claimed to say that was posted in Arabic and in a format

that prevented copy and paste into a translator

[King_David]

13. ahhh it was MISTRANSLATED....

[azurnoir]

15. No it could not be translated at all the posting format prevented that

or prevented the copy and paste needed to do that

14. Ms Valdary has equated being Gay with pedophilia infact you called her homophobic

and yet here we are, she is apparently one of the driving forces behind this antiPalestinian/Jewish Voices for Peace smear campaign

26. She's a fucking homophobic bigot

And put her in same category as David Duke and those bigots in the Presbyterian church that he supports.

[King_David]

16. Exactly correct shes a homophobic turd.

But these Protesters called the Jewish Participants ' Jesus Killers.

You do not get a more anti-Semitic chant than that.

That was their Raison d'être for being at that protest. They hate Jews. (Valdery can fuck off as far as I am concerned, who cares why she was there, I don't )

Those antisemitic bigots at the protest can fuck off too.

[azurnoir]

17. yet she is one of the driving forces here but if you wish to stick with JewishVoicesforPeace

said Jews killed Jesus be my guest

[King_David]

18. No idea what you talking about and why on earth would Jewish voices for peace say that against Jews

JVP is a tiny organization .

That demonstration was full of people some with a different agenda .

As usual in a lot of these anti Israel demonstrations they turn into antiSemitic or anti Zionest fests.

This is not so unusual.

20. Synagogue firebombed near Paris in renewed violence Far-right Jewish Defense League boasts on Twitt

Far-right Jewish Defense League boasts on Twitter about disrupting anti-Israel demonstration and injuring protesters

A firebomb was hurled at a synagogue near Paris, part of a string of anti-Semitic incidents in Western Europe coinciding with Israel’s assault on Hamas in Gaza.

The firebomb went off Friday night at the entrance to the synagogue of Aulnay-sous-Bois, a northeastern suburb of the French capital, according to the National Bureau for Vigilance Against Anti-Semitism, or BNVCA. No one was hurt and the fire resulted in minor damage, Le Monde reported.

On July 8, the day that Israel launched Operation Protective Edge against Hamas in Gaza, a man described as having a Middle Eastern appearance assaulted a Jewish 17-year-old girl on a Paris street near the Gare du Nord train station by spraying pepper-spray on her face, BNVCA also reported.
