A member of the anti-Zionist Neturei Karta group, whose
leaders claim to have excellent relationships with Muslims, was viciously
attacked by a Muslim in Amsterdam over the weekend.
The victim, Yosef Anteby,
has lived in Holland for many years, and is a well-known anti-Israel activist.
A report on the Kikar Shabbat web site quoted Anteby as
saying that he had been badly beaten by the Muslim, despite repeatedly
identifying himself and his affiliation. He required medical treatment as a
result of the beating.
In a statement, Neturei Karta said that Anteby was “attacked
by a Muslim immigrant, possibly Pakistani. The immigrant began to rant against
the Jews and the Jewish religion.
They began angrily beating the victim. Rabbi
Anteby sustained numerous blows and asked for help from passerby, but these
ignored him. He then tried to escape, but was unable to, as his non-Jewish attacker
was too strong. Finally Rabbi Anteby fell, unable to move, and the non-Jew then
ran away.”
The report said that Anteby finally was able to get up and
flagged down a passing police vehicle, which took him to a hospital for
treatment. He remains under observation, in good condition, but suffering from
aches and pains related to the beating, the report added.
In its statement, Neturei Karta attributed the attack to the
“Zionist evil, which causes anti-Semitism all around the world, until even
those who are truly observant and faithful Jews are liable to fall victim, and
pay a high price for the Zionists' sins.”
