Israeli author and journalist Yehonatan Geffen attacked at his home, called 'leftist traitor'

[Israeli]

Israeli author and journalist Yehonatan Geffen was attacked on Friday afternoon at his home at Moshav Beit Yitzhak in central Israel.

The assailant knocked on Geffen's door, tried to hit him and called him "leftist" and "traitor." Before fleeing, the attacker also threw an egg at the author. Israel Police is investigating the incident and is combing the area, and is assuming the attack was premeditated.

Geffen's manager Boaz Ben Zion said he "really hopes this is a one-time incident," adding: "We don't know yet why Yehonatan was attacked, and we hope the police catch the assailant."

Geffen posted on his Facebook page this week that March 17 – Election Day – should be declared "the Nakba Day of the Peace Camp." Geffen also wrote following the reelection of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that "the people have elected again a person whose rule is based on scaring the people," and called Netanyahu "a racist."

1. Th racism is off the charts there and anyone denying it sounds defensive as well as foolish.

There is nothing in ZU that indicated from their platform they were set to
support a viable Palestinian state.

2. Nuclear armed and American military supported Israel is NOT surrounded by enemies....

It is surrounded by impotent governments with impotent militaries with no capacity to do anything to Israel...more fear for the sake of fear.

Sticks and stones...and words.....

And who exactly are the enemies surrounding America that it should always tremble in fear?

Media? Where are the enemies and where do they reside in this big old world....use a map, flip to the other side of the globe.

ISIS? What attacks have they managed or claimed to have managed by proxy other than on Muslims and in Muslim lands?
