“Tonight we visited Hassan Ausruf, who is hospitalized at the Department of Ophthalmology at the Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center. ... Hassan was brutally attacked by a group of some 20 youths on the city’s seafront promenade early Sunday morning [on the Jewish holiday of Purim, Feb. 23-24] for no other reason than being an Arab.”

The above comment was posted by Talia Goshen on her Facebook wall. Goshen, the owner of one of the major video editing studios in Israel, is an active partner in the “Light Tag Forum,” set up by various organizations, movements, youth movements, schools, associations and local councils from across the spectrum of Israeli society in response to the “price tag” violence against non-Jews in Israel.

Goshen goes on to recount the story of Ausruf, describing what happened that Sunday morning: “In Tel-Aviv, they were celebrating Purim. And it seems that those 20 teenagers took it too far, “lightly” hopping from the Book of Esther and the Amalekites [a people cited in the Bible, hostile to the Israelites], to Hassan Ausruf and the Arabs.

“Hassan is a resident of the city of Jaffa, a father of three children aged 4, 5 and 10. He is working hard, putting penny to penny to buy his children the best education he can afford. His 10-year-old kid speaks Arabic, Hebrew, English and French, but the boy has not uttered a word ever since the lynch, and he seems so upset that he can barely function.”
