    According to the Jüdische Allgemeine (http://bit.ly/SSSB1N), the rabbi, who was wearing a kippah, was approached by one of the teens and asked if he was a Jew. The youth then proceeded to repeatedly beat the rabbi on the head, while spewing anti-Semitic insults and offensive remarks about the rabbi’s mother. The group also threatened to kill the rabbi’s daughter. Berlin police have classified the assault as a hate crime, while Berlin’s mayor condemned the attack saying, “Berlin is an international city in which intolerance, xenophobia and anti-Semitism are not being tolerated. Police will undertake all efforts to find and arrest the perpetrators.”

    Dieter Graumann, president of the Central Council of Jews in Germany said he was certain the police would capture those responsible for the vicious assault, adding, “This despicable attack on Jews in the middle of our capital is outrageous and shocking. It is not just an evil attack on Jewry in Germany but an attack against all of us, and against our common values of tolerance and liberalism. It must not be downplayed. However, we Jews won’t be intimidated by such callous attacks. We will continue vigorously to build our Jewish future in this country.”

    The problem is that Germany has admitted a large number of Arabs, who hate Jews. Some of them will occasionally act out that hate, by attacking Jews at random.

    I am sure the irony of it didn’t escape anybody.

    Berlin. Some shkotzim approached a man and his little daughter, asked him if he was a Jew (probably they are very dim because the rabbi was wearing a yarmolke) and proceeded to mercilessly beat him. Berlin police promptly classified it hate crime.

    East Lansing, Michigan. Some shkotzim approached a man, asked him if he was a Jew and proceeded to mercilessly beat him and stapled his mouth. East Lansing police doesn’t deem it hate crime.

    Where would I rather live?
