The echoes of the war and the growing anti-Semitism in its wake reach every corner of the world. A 44-year-old Jewish man was severely assaulted in Sydney, Australia, by a group of pro-Palestinians who threatened to "kill him."

The incident took place two weeks ago, while the Jewish man who was attacked was near a children's playground in Arnlife, West Disney. According to the details of the case, the man saw a half-torn poster calling for participation in a pro-Palestinian march. The famous march had already taken place and the man decided to remove the remainder of the poster from the ad wall.
After doing so, one of the parents of children at the playground approached him and asked him if he supported Israel, and then began threatening him, including telling him, "I will murder you." The Jewish man called the police to complain about the incident and ask for help, but they were too late to arrive.

At this time, a group of people, pro-Palestinian men and women, gathered around him and began to curse and insult him. Immediately afterwards, he was attacked with a strong blow to the back of the head and fell to the ground. While he was lying in pain, three men began punching and kicking him to the body.
The assault resulted in a four-day hospital stay, after which the Jewish man said he felt "lucky" to still be alive. Sydney Police have begun an investigation into the incident.
