‘No Jew in Germany': German police assault Israeli professor

Excerpt:

The police in the West German city of Bonn allegedly mistakenly beat an Israeli philosophy professor after a German of Palestinian origin attacked him because he was wearing kippah.

According to a Thursday report in the Rheinische Post, the 20-year-old German Palestinian attacked the 50-year-old Israeli academic and yelled insults at him in German and English, including: “No Jew in Germany!”
