Shalev Ben Yakar, a Jewish Israeli, was brutally attacked in Golders Green, London, early Monday morning in what authorities are investigating as an antisemitic hate crime. The incident occurred around 2:00 AM when Ben Yakar stepped outside his apartment to speak with friends. A group of five or six men, upon hearing him speak Hebrew, began to chase him, shouting curses in Arabic. They caught up with him, dragged him across the road, and physically assaulted him, leaving him with bruises and a scar. Ben Yakar noted that he was not wearing any identifiable Jewish symbols, suggesting he was targeted solely for speaking Hebrew. He described the experience as a dark reminder of the Holocaust, reflecting on the troubling rise of antisemitism in Europe. After the attack, he sought help from a neighbor, who called the police. Despite his fear, Ben Yakar stated that he would continue to visit London, motivated by the support of the local community, which he described as caring and engaged. He expressed a commitment to advocate for the community in light of this incident.
