מה קרה

A US federal court ruled that attacking a Jewish person over an Israeli symbol can legally be considered anti-Semitic discrimination, allowing a pro-Israel activist's lawsuit to proceed. The case stems from a 2024 incident where a protester pulled on an Israeli flag worn by the activist, briefly choking her. The ruling clarifies the legal distinction between anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism but does not yet decide on the attacker's liability.
