The media, who’d never want to be seen as racist or inflammatory, has virtually blacklisted the reporting of this nationwide trend in black-on-white crime.  And,  just like anything else that’s allowed to exist unchecked,  you only get more of it.  Here’s hoping the victim’s two friends returned the favor.

(ArutzSheva) – A Facebook page for the “Al-Bustan Culture Center in Silwan” features a homemade video that appears to show an Arab man engaging in an east Jerusalem version of the anti-Semitic “knockout game.”  

The four-second clip shows three young men dressed in hareidi garb walking with their backs to the camera, and a large bodied man in shorts and a white undershirt approaching them from behind and hitting one of them in the back of the head. The video does not show what transpired afterward, and it is quite possible that the victim and his friends fought back.

It was received with much hilarity by the Facebook page’s fans, whose reactions usually begin or end with “hahahaha.”

The “knockout game,” a fad that reportedly became popular over the past year, involves gangs of youths, usually black, who sucker punch innocent passersby – particularly targeting Jews in parts of New York.

It is not known whether the Facebook page for Al Bustan Culture Center in Silwan is connected to the Wadi Hilweh Information Center, which is located in Silwan, or Shiloah, adjacent to the City of David.

This is not the first time in which Arabs videotape themselves engaging in attacks that are reminiscent of Western-style Jew-baiting. (Read more…)
