We must recognize the phenomenon for what it is not an evil born of of any social-media or other platform, nor a political protest of any kind but anti-Semitism, plain and simple.
(April 25, 2021 / JNS) In recent weeks, there has been an alarming number of violent attacks on visibly religious Israelis. While not original, these seemingly random incidents are turning their perpetrators into social-media stars, as they appear to be in response to the latest demented TikTok challenge asking Palestinian youth to violently beat up an Orthodox Jew and post a video of the assault on the platform.

Two Arab Israeli men suspected of violently assaulting a rabbi in Jaffa earlier this week were released under house arrest, Channel 12 news reported Wednesday.
The two men, both in their 30s, were arrested over the beating of Rabbi Eliyahu Mali, who runs the Shirat Moshe Hesder Yeshiva in the mixed Jewish-Arab district of Tel Aviv.
The judge also ruled that the “source of the conflict was not racist,” according to Channel 12.
After several days of investigation, police asked the Tel Aviv Magistrate’s Court to extend the suspects’ detention for another five days, which Judge Or Mammon denied, the network said.
