“Are you one of those Jews that steals land?” a man asks a visibly Jewish man in a video uploaded on Wednesday to Instagram by Israel activist and influencer Danielle Yablonka.
The video was supposedly taken in a pharmacy in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The Jewish man, who was wearing a kippah, recorded the incident.
In the video, the stranger can be heard saying, “What kinda (sic) Jew are you? Are you one of those Jews that steals land?”
The Jewish man responds by asking if he looks like someone who steals land. The man says, “Yes, you do. You got that thing on your head (sic),” gesturing to the Jewish man’s kippah.
The Jewish man can be heard telling the man that what he said was “racist.”
‘I am racist. I am pro-Palestinian’
“I am racist. I am pro-Palestinian. I don’t think that you should be stealing their land,” the other responded.
“Are you the one that’s stealing land?” he continued. “Are you the one that’s starving people?”
The Jewish man then asked the irate pharmacy-goer why he said he paid for the former’s medication.
“Because the Jews get a lot of things for free in this country because they’re Jewish,” the man said.
There has been a significant increase in antisemitic incidents in the US and across the world since October 7. Earlier this year, the ADL reported that US antisemitic incidents had increased 360%, totaling 3,283 incidents in only three months.
