Arab
assailants attacked a German Jewish teenager who was listening to
Israeli music on his mobile phone on Saturday at the Zoologischer Garten
train station in western Berlin.
The attackers cursed the teen, identified
only as a 17-year-old Berlin native called Jonathan, and threatened to
kill him. When his non-Jewish friends came to his defense, they were hit
by the attackers, and one sustained cuts to his face and hand from a
broken bottle that required hospitalization.
"My friends and I were about to change
trains," the teen told Israel Hayom. "We saw that we would have to wait a
long time for the next train so we went to a nearby shop to buy bottles
of beer. I was playing the song 'Tel Aviv, Ya Habibi, Tel Aviv'
[a hit song by Israeli artist Omer Adam] on my phone when suddenly a
group of young Arab men approached me, surrounded me and started yelling
at me, 'Music in Hebrew? You've been murdering children for 70 years.
Berlin is ours now and you won't listen to crappy Jewish music here.'"
Jonathan said he tried to calm his
assailants, moving away from them and going down into the underground
station with some of his friends. But the Arab youths followed him and
continued to make threats.
"If I had a knife I would finish you" and "if I ever see you again, you're dead" were among the threats he heard.
When Jonathan's friends tried to defend
him, the assailants yelled at them, "You lousy Germans. You don't have a
right to say anything," and began hitting and punching them, including
with broken bottles.
The attack was caught on film by the train
station's security cameras. The police were called to the area but
arrived after the attackers fled.
According to Jonathan, the police initially did not take the incident seriously.
