(JEWISH GROUP) Australian teen assaulted at Scouts camp while wearing yarmulke, Israeli flag
An 18-year-old Australian wearing a yarmulke and Israeli flag was allegedly assaulted at a Scouts camp on Saturday by a teen who accused Israel of “murdering children.”
Around 2 p.m. on Saturday, Joshua Levy was walking in the park at the event in Lardner, southeast of Melbourne, when a teenage boy approached him, according to Victoria Police and the Anti-Defamation Commission.
Levy told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation that the teenager asked him, “Why are you wearing that?” and accused Israel of “murdering children.”
Levy said he responded, “Because I support Israel.”
Later that night at a party at the event, the teenager allegedly approached Levy again and struck him three times in the face.
