(Jewish Group) 70-year-old man beaten in Berlin in attack described as anti-Semitic

[Behind the Aegis]

A 70-year-old man was beaten in Berlin in what news reports have described as an anti-Semitic incident.

The victim suffered wounds to his head and chin in the Monday afternoon attack, which started with a verbal assault featuring anti-Semitic insults. He lost his balance and fell while trying to defend himself. The victim had tried to respond verbally to the insults before he was beaten.

The assailant, whose identity is unknown, fled when a passerby rushed to the scene. Police are investigating.

It is not clear from reports in the German media whether the victim actually is Jewish.

The attack is one of several against Jews reported in recent months in the German capital, including one in which men on a balcony spat on a rabbi and his young son on their way home from synagogue on a Friday night. That investigation was dropped for lack of evidence.

It says basically the current climate in Germany is that people speak out against antisemitism only when it suits their narrative.

The left only cares when the perpetrator is a right wing nazi.

The right only cares when the perpetrator is a muslim immigrant.
