The individual, identified as Todd Richman, a leader in the Democratic Majority for Israel, was holding an Israeli flag while protesters surrounded him, attempting to pull the flag away. Video footage showed Richman standing his ground, despite taunts and physical efforts to dislodge the flag from his grip.
At one point, the tension escalated, with one protester reportedly striking him, causing a minor injury. Police eventually intervened to disperse the crowd and restore order.
This is @DemMaj4Israel Board co-chair @toddrichman being beaten by pro-Hamas terrorist protesters.
Arrests must be made. Israel supporters must be able to walk their city streets in safety.

WHY NO ARRESTS?
Aren’t these pro Palestinian demonstrators brave. Covering their faces ganging up on none person. Real portraits in courage.
Do these vagrants hit their community elders too ?
What a stupid man, the protesters are all Hamas democrats praised by Biden/Harris.
The protestors attacked the Jewish man. Where are the cops? Whyweren’t the attackers arrested. This is not a peaceful protests and all masks must come off.
Joe Biden said the protesters have a point so they pointed their fists toward a Democrat macher.
Why no arrests?
Time for a JDL
long overdue
I hope he sues the assailant
Go to his kever to ask mechila. Not worth it to lose your whole Olam Haba for whatever your frustrations are.
not worth getting involved with insane and violent people.
they are not interested in hearing the other side only in denying reality.
Looks like it’s time to start packing!
