A suspect, Jarris Jay Silagi, has been charged in the violent assault and robbery of a Jewish couple in Beverly Hills. Silagi allegedly struck a 75-year-old man with a belt buckle, causing him to bleed, and then attempted to rob the man's wife while making antisemitic statements. His bail has been set at $1.3 million, and his next court date is scheduled for December 17. The attack is the latest in a series of incidents targeting the Jewish community since the conflict between Israel and Hamas in October.

Rising Antisemitism: Jewish Couple and Suspect Face Charges in Beverly Hills Attacks

An elderly Jewish couple in Beverly Hills, who were attacked while on their way to a synagogue, spoke out about the alarming rise in antisemitism, stating that they have never seen it at this level before. The couple believes that the surge in hate is linked to the recent Israel-Hamas conflict. They emphasized the need for education to combat antisemitism, particularly in higher institutions where hate-filled rhetoric is prevalent. The Anti-Defamation League reported a 388% spike in antisemitism since the start of the conflict. Some Jewish Americans are turning to firearms for self-defense, with a California gun shop reporting a 450% increase in firearms safety tests. Despite the attack, the couple remains determined to proudly wear their yarmulkes and refuse to give in to evil.
