(Jewish Group) German-Palestinian man assaulted Jewish professor and threw off his kippa sentenced

(THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP! RESPECT!!)

The man who attacked a visiting Jewish-American professor by throwing a kippa off of the professor’s head several times in the western German city of Bonn was sentenced to jail time.

The man, 21, a German citizen of Palestinian heritage, assaulted Prof. Yitzhak Melamed in 2018. During the incident, German police officers wrestled to the ground and arrested the 50-year-old visiting professor after believing him to be the assailant.

The Israel-born professor was teaching philosophy at the University of Baltimore and was visiting Germany to deliver a lecture. While the professor and a friend were strolling in a park, the attacker shouted anti-Semitic insults in English and German, including “No Jew in Germany!” and knocked the kippah from the professor’s head, and then shoved the professor and hit him on the shoulder.

The professor, who did not attend the court hearing on Monday, said through his attorney that the actions of the police were worse than the assailant, the German broadcaster Deutsche Welle reported.
