More anti-Semitism for the day

Rico wonders if these idiots are ever gonna give this shit up, but Emily Babay has an article at Philly.com about the latest:
Temple University is investigating an anti-Semitic attack against a student that involved violence and racial comments. The university said in a statement that the incident happened on a recent afternoon on the main campus. "The attack is alleged to have included physical violence and anti-Semitic statements and racial slurs," the statement said. Further details about the incident weren't provided.
The victim told TruthRevolt.org that the attack happened after he approached a table for Students for Justice in Palestine, a pro-Palestinian group, on Polett Walk. He exchanged words with students at the table "and then this kid just rocks me in the face as hard as he can", Daniel Vessal told the publication. "My glasses flew off. After a two-second blur I had no clue what had happened." Vessal said he sought medical attention for a headache and neck stiffness.
SJP said in a statement that the student who committed the assault was an acquaintance of group members, but not part of the organization. The group's statement refuted allegations that anti-Semitic slurs were used, but condemned the physical assault. "The incident that occurred today was an unnecessary and deplorable, and does not represent the principles of our organization," the group said. "However, it was in no way an incident motivated by anti-Semitic sentiment."
University officials are reaching out to leaders of Temple's Jewish and pro-Palestinian communities to discuss the attack, the school said. Anyone with information is asked to call Temple's campus safety services at 215-204-1234.
Rico says that the strict definition includes Palestinians among the Semites: a member of any of the peoples who speak or spoke a Semitic language, including in particular the Jews and Arabs.
