Globe Exclusive Interview: Gang of Palestinians Beat Jews in West Hollywood

Victim says local police ‘weren’t excited to make a report’


An Arabic man was dining with Jewish friends in West Hollywood Monday evening, when he said around 9:00 pm several cars drove by slowly flying Palestinian flags. “Maher,” who only provided his first name out of concerns for his safety, said they started cursing at he and his friends. “Then suddenly I see a glass flying at us,” he said. A glass was thrown at the group of diners from one of the cars. Maher said the glass hit a pole and shattered all over he and his friends.

Three guys just kept hitting me and don’t stop

“I went up to the guy and spoke Arabic – I’m Armenian from Beirut – and told them to chill… ‘don’t throw glass at us,'” Maher said. “Suddenly a few guys from the cars started running toward me, then 15-20 guys were running at us,” Maher said. “They see I am Arabic, but then a big guy jumps at me and hits me. I hit back.” Maher said he looked around and realized he was “alone fighting with 20 people.” They kicked his Jewish friend “who went to the floor,” Maher said. “Three guys just kept hitting me and don’t stop.”-- More...
