This story seems extremely fishy to me. This guy is claiming that an entire group of strangers including transit employees just lost their minds and grouped together to violently assault him at the mere sight of a kippah? That seems extremely implausible and reminds me of the other recent incidents where Israeli men were running around a neighborhood assaulting people and making death threats toward residents before the residents turned on them. The media just reported it as “Jewish men attacked for being Jewish” before the real story came out days later.
If the situation were really this bad in Milan, this would be more that just a single incident against one individual.
Just because someone is Jewish doesn’t mean they have a god damned thing to do with Israel and Gaza. We saw the same bullshit after 9/11 with people attacking Muslims (or people they thought were Muslims).

And simultaneously, they should have expected it and certainly understand why it happened, if it did.
I don’t know why anyone should expect to be attacked for the war crimes committed by a country they have nothing to do with.
Same thing happened at a concert here the other night:

Yes, and I’ve argued the same elsewhere in this post. I was being facetious to show the absurdity of some of the arguments others have made.
