Dear supporter of Israel,
This is Maya from Israfan. You're likely familiar with our newsletter focusing on uplifting content about our beloved Israel. However, today I must share a deeply troubling incident that happened yesterday, compelling us to reinforce our beliefs and actions.
Yesterday, a Jewish family, including a 12-year-old and a 16-year-old, faced verbal and physical assault at the American Dream Mall in New Jersey. The older daughter, proudly wearing an IDF sweatshirt, was bombarded with vile insults from pro-Palestinian protesters.
The situation took a more violent turn when one of the assailants physically attacked the Jewish mother. This disturbing act was captured in a video that has since circulated on social media, showing the extent of the aggression.
Unfortunately, this is not an isolated incident. With recent events in Israel, antisemitism is on the rise. It's crucial to understand that hiding our support for Israel is precisely what our enemies aim to achieve. We must counter this by standing proudly and unapologetically, showing our support for Israel.
That is why we have partnered with "ShopIsrael", an online store dedicated to pro-Israel merchandise, including IDF t-shirts, IDF sweatshirts, IDF blankets and many other great tools to express your pride and support. Visit ShopIsrael.com now to make a statement and show the world where you stand.
We look forward to a peaceful 2024, where we will see an end to such incidents.
Thank you for being a dedicated subscriber,
Maya Mizrachi
Director at Israfan
