That\u2019s when it got violent,” Lebowitz added. “He yells out, \u2018Baby killers.\u2019 Puts his hand to my face and throws me to the ground.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
\u201cI fell back. I smacked my head,” Lebowitz told the TV station.<\/p>\n
Lebowitz recalled that the assailant was much taller than him. The violence was captured on surveillance video.<\/p>\n
Lebowitz was wearing a Jewish Star of David around his neck during the incident. “He’s anti-Jewish. It\u2019s a hate crime to me,” Lebowitz said.<\/strong><\/p>\nIn recent weeks, from Los Angeles to New York City, local police received reports on Jews being violently attacked in the US. There was also damage to Jewish-owned businesses in the US.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt may have been an isolated incident here in Las Vegas, but it\u2019s happening in New York, Los Angeles, Cleveland, and Boston,\u201d Lebowitz told KVVU<\/em>. \u201cIt has to stop.\u201d<\/p>\nLebowitz said the assault will not keep him from returning to Las Vegas.<\/p>\n
Word of the assault also was picked up by Dov Hikind (D), a former New York State assemblyman who is the founder of a group called Americans Against Antisemitism.<\/strong><\/p>\nOn Wednesday, Hikind tweeted that Lebowitz suffered \u201cA bloody head wound & concussion\u201d from the attack.<\/p>\n
The US incidents come with the recent conflict between Israel and the Palestinians, as well as between Israel and the Hamas terrorist group based in Gaza. Hamas terrorists pounded Israel with over 4,000 rockets. Israel responded with a bombardment against Hamas strategic locations in Gaza.<\/p>\n

In another incident, recently, a new staff member of the Associated Press, identified as Emily Wilder, was fired from the bureau in Phoenix, Ariz. after it came to light she had posted on social media anti-Israel, and pro-Palestinian messages.<\/p>\n
While in college, Wilder also allegedly posted that Sheldon Adelson<\/a>, the late casino mogul who was a major supporter of Israel and US Republican causes, was a \u201cnaked mole rat-looking billionaire.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A 67-year-old Jewish man was shoved to the sidewalk on the Las Vegas Strip near the Park MGM earlier this week.
