Jewish students called Jesus killers and swarmed by dozens of anti-Israel demonstrators at rally outside Israeli consulate
BOSTON A protest outside Israels 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 rallys 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 Peaces local chapter, the demonstrators protested the Israel Defense Forces 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.

(45,850 posts)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).

(45,850 posts)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

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.

(14,851 posts)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.

(14,851 posts)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.

A firebomb was hurled at a synagogue near Paris, part of a string of anti-Semitic incidents in Western Europe coinciding with Israels 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.
