A Jewish family of four found themselves being assaulted by a couple over the 16-year-old daughter’s sweatshirt, which expressed support for the Israeli Defense Force.
That’s according to the StopAntisemitism watchdog group, which shared footage of the incident that purportedly took place at the American Dream Mall, in East Rutherford, N.J.
The female aggressor can be heard saying “Free Palestine” as she verbally assaults the family, which also included a 12-year-old.
“The 16-year-old daughter, donning an IDF sweatshirt, endured offensive screams, such as ‘you’re a whore, your mother is a whore, your grandmother is a whore,'” the tweet noted.

“You’re cursing my child! You’re cursing my child,” the Jewish mother tells the couple.
The male aggressor fires back, “I’m cursing you. I’m cursing you and your bulls**t husband!”
As noted above, the situation escalated when the female assailant “physically attacked the Jewish mother.”
Additional footage appears to capture the woman slapping a phone out of the hands of the Jewish mother, as seen below:

The incident highlights a troubling trend of blatant, out-in-the-open Jew-hatred in America that comes in response to Israel going on the offense to protect itself from the barbaric Palestinian terrorist group Hamas, which killed over 1,300 Israeli citizens.
Here’s a quick sampling of responses to the story, as seen on X:

What a nightmare: family goes together to the mall, probably for a movie and some after Christmas sales, only to be accosted, verbally abused, and even physically threatened for being Jewish. In America. Inexcusable. Horrific. Parents had incredible self-restraint to try to…

If you don’t hit them back when they hit you they’ll think they can keep getting away with it.
Until people suffer consequences for violence, they have zero incentive not to act violent.

There needs to be a point where if they refuse to leave you alone, then you can escalate without fear of prosecution
No one should have to listen to this

Religious fanaticism..no tolerance towards other religions..disgusting. What religion tells us to disrespect fellow human being because they belong to a different religion?

If this aggressive Jew-hatred is not stopped, it will continue to escalate.

As long as they use the word “genocide” they believe it gives them a pass to do whatever they want.
