The issue is that the article is leaving out a lot of information and relies on Israeli-extremist claims such as by the ADL, who infamously defended Elon Musk for his Nazi salute, despite Musk also spreading 20th century Antisemitic conspiracies. Meanwhile the ADL calls any criticism of Israel antisemitic and their statistics are deliberately conflating the two.
We only have the description of what happened by the person injured. We have seen many times over the past years in Europe that Israeli tourist or local Israel-extremists have been instigating violence or deliberately provoking people in order to paint themselves as victims of Antisemitism.
Until we get the full picture from the police investigation, we should not jump to conclusions either way. It is possible that this was an antisemitic attack, which needs to be condemned, but it is also possible that this is another case of deliberate escalation to claim Antisemitism where it wasn’t the case.
The Maccabi TelAviv Hooligans roaming through Amsterdam, attacking locals and destroying property, then being painted as victims while celebrating their raids on the flight back home also left a very sour mark.
Either way, Israels strategy of lumping together Judaism and Israel is working to make Jews around the world less safe, which is crucial for Israel to claim itself as a “safe haven” for Jews.
