In a not-so-shocking moment, the far left’s anti-Israel protest quickly turned into an anti-Semitic riot on the streets of Seattle, Washington.
In a “protest” calling for the destruction of Israel, anti-Semites marched to “commemorate the 73rd year of the Palestinian catastrophe and on-going ethnic cleansing of Palestine.”
The “protest” began in downtown Seattle at Westlake Park around 1 p.m., where they called for Israel to be abolished, burned an Israeli flag, and assaulted pro-Israel civilians. At the event, rioters began by spewing anti-Semitic hatred in the form of chants such as “Long live the intifada!”
According to reporting by The Post Millennial, “the intifadas were violent uprisings by Palestinians who carried out terror attacks.”
The violent riot was described in several posts on Twitter.
At the rally, a radical leftist activist assaulted Rantz, a Jewish journalist, while he was documenting the riot. He was reportedly hit from behind with a Palestinian flag.
NEW: While covering an anti-Israel rally in Seattle, already uncomfortable for me as a Jew, I was assaulted by a fringe activist who assaulted me from behind with a Palestinian flag. Then I was pushed out of the rally.

Talk-radio host Ari Hoffman shared an image from the rally, writing:
“This banner led the rally in Seattle today celebrating the anniversary of the attempted genocide of all Jews in the Middle East in 1948[.]
Notice anything about the banner? There is no Israel on it.
These activists don’t want a 2 state solution. They want the death of Jews[.]”

While the war was going on, the Arab countries expelled all Jews from their countries, while also expelling the “Palestinians,” telling them that they could only return when they have finished killing all the Jews. Luckily, Israel won the war and celebrated their independence on a day known as Yom Ha’atzmaut, which had its anniversary on May 5.
The Post Millennial reported that “the Arabs and Palestinians call Israel Independence Day the Nakba, the day they tried to commit mass genocide of Jews but failed.”
I wonder how many in this crowd of activists and antifa militants realize this event commemorates the day Arab countries failed in killing all the Jews in the Middle East. pic.twitter.com/VkCtJMpNCS
