Elderly Palestinian woman severely beaten by Haredim men in Jerusalem :: www.uruknet.info :: informazione dal medio oriente :: information from middle east :: [gd]Early Sunday afternoon, 75-year old Fatahia Azzaz was severely beaten by three young Jewish men outside a hospital in West Jerusalem.
Azzaz, of the Jabal Al-Mukabar neighborhood in East Jerusalem, had just finished a visit with her son who is currently receiving psychiatric treatment at the Givat Shaul Psychiatric Hospital. She was about five meters from the building when three Haredi (the most conservative from of ultra-orthodox Judaism) men in their twenties attacked.
"They asked her if she was Arab," says Abu Jamal, Fatahias son who was not present at the time of the attack.
"The answer to their question was obvious, and within a few seconds they were punching and kicking her. They threw her down on the ground and continued to hit her in the head until she lost consciousness," says Abu Jamal.
Nothing would come from the police investigation.
