An Israeli reporter and videographer came under attack in Belfast in Northern Ireland last week while filming a report on rising antisemitism in Europe.
i24NEWS reporter Yonatan Raveh and videographer Nadav Abas were interviewing passersby in Belfast. One local became enraged when he realized that the crew was from Israel and attempted to seize their camera equipment.
When he failed, he continued disrupting the shoot, made obscene gestures at the camera, and forced them to stop filming.
They tried to defuse the situation and move away, but the assailant approached the videographer in a threatening manner. Raveh and Abas then called on security personnel at nearby restaurants for assistance.
At that point, the thug picked up a large beer glass and threw it forcefully at Abas, striking him and leaving him with a bleeding gash on the back of his head.
The crew then left the scene. Abas did not require further medical treatment, and both men are in good condition.

zionists light the fires of antisemitism for their political gain as they seek the destruction of judaism.
The bloody Irish are what they are – amongst the most vile antisemites.
Hey “someJewIKnow”. What you really don’t know is that the Irish hated Jews for as long as they exist and are Roman Catholic. Just the Poles – for generations they drank antisemitism from their mothers’ milk. Both here and there. Absolutely NOTHING to do with Zionism.
Just for your information, Harrry, the population in Belfast is mainly protestant. Southern Ireland are catholics. Not that it makes a difference. A goy is a goy.
I support Harrry 100%. There are many Irish in the UK, particularly in London, and in the Jewish area. The sober ones usually keep a lid on it, but the moment they have a pint or two under their belts they just can’t hold back. Of all the minorities, they are consistently the most vocal.
