Jewish Women Harassed and Assaulted by Pro-Palestinian Protesters: Videos Spark Outrage

Two videos capturing incidents of harassment and assault against Jewish women by pro-Palestinian protesters have stirred widespread condemnation after going viral online.

In one video, an elderly woman, reportedly in Vancouver, British Columbia, is seen verbally attacking a young Jewish woman, making derogatory and hateful remarks, including a disturbing comment about rape. The video has elicited strong reactions on social media, with many denouncing it as “pure Jew Hatred” and likening it to the bigotry of the past.

In another distressing incident, a young Jewish woman was brutally beaten unconscious by pro-Hamas students at the UCLA campus in California. The video of her bleeding head after the assault circulated widely, prompting outrage and calls for accountability.

American journalist Miha Schwartzenber condemned the violence, questioning the notion of free speech when it results in such severe harm. Others echoed similar sentiments, labeling the attack as attempted murder and calling for the university’s president to be held accountable for failing to address the issue.

The incidents have reignited discussions about the rise of antisemitism and the need for swift action to combat hate crimes targeting Jewish individuals, with some drawing parallels to dark periods in history and emphasizing the gravity of the situation in contemporary society.

Pro-Hamas "protester" at @PennState says:

"Jewish women are way too ugly to be raped," referring to Hamas' systematic sexual violence on Oct 7.
