Jewish NYC Parent Assaulted at Elementary-School Graduation by Family Shouting ‘Free Palestine!’...

An Arabic-speaking family assaulted a Jewish mother and her husband at an elementary-school graduation in Brooklyn last weekend while shouting “Free Palestine,” “Gaza is ours,” and “Death to Israel,” the New York Post reported. At PS 682, the Jewish mother by the name of Lana told the Post that a man identified as Ez-Al Dean Bazar sucker punched her husband, Johan, before putting him in a choke hold. “A woman from the group came up behind me, pulled me by the hair, and knocked me down on the ground, shouting ‘I will kill you,’” Lana added. While the school did not have any security present, two male teachers ultimately broke up the fight. Bazar, the alleged assailant, was arrested and released on his own recognizance, and the New York Police Department did not classify the assault as a hate crime, something with which Lana has taken issue given the chants the Arabic-speaking family shouted at her and her husband
