Jewish Father, Son Attacked by Mob Chanting 'Free Palestine' in Italy

A Jewish father and his six-year-old son, both wearing traditional Jewish head coverings, were verbally harassed and physically attacked by a pro-Palestinian mob at a gas station rest area near Milan, Italy. The assailants shouted slogans such as "Free Palestine" and "murderers," targeting the pair simply because of the son's kippah. The father recorded the incident, which showed him being pushed to the floor and kicked while his son was visibly frightened and protected by a bystander. Despite filing a complaint, the father faced difficulties obtaining security footage from authorities. The video spread widely on social media, drawing condemnation from Jewish advocacy groups and sparking debate, with activists warning that such antisemitic incidents are increasing and urging immediate action against hatred. The incident highlights rising global antisemitism amid ongoing tensions and inflammatory reporting related to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
