Orthodox Jews tackle enraged man outside Melbourne synagogue

Australian conservative columnist Andrew Bolt writes:

As I have warned many times, Jews will be the losers in the re-tribalism of Australia:

A man screaming “go back to Israel” and “swear to Allah” had to be forcibly pinned to the ground after a scuffle outside a Melbourne synagogue yesterday.

The enraged man cornered an orthodox Jew and then slapped him during an argument outside the Adass Synagogue, south of Melbourne…

Repeatedly claiming to be of Aboriginal descent, he is seen screaming at the Jewish man to “go back to Israel”.

“I am from Australia,” the Jewish man responds.

Tensions boil over when man in the red t-shirt tries to grab the other man around the neck and is tackled by a group of onlookers in religious dress.

I’d say more about one aspect of this story, but Jewish leaders supported the retention of a law that makes debate too dangerous.

Luke: What does Andrew Bolt mean by that last paragraph? I thought Jews were on the side of the angels.

Comments to Andrew Bolt:

* This is now the unofficial law of the land … if any stranger approaches you and mentions a certain prophet – then prepare for combat. Ask questions later.

* Awwww! That nice angry man accepts that Israel is a Jewish homeland.

* and yet we are still letting more of these people into this country. How many times must we see this sort of thing before we wake up…what is worrying is that this guy looks like a moderate Moslem.
