A group of Breslov Hasidim who were traveling through a European airport this week were filmed charging at a passenger and beating him, after he harassed the group, according to reports. The video shows the man shouting, "Free Palestine," at the Hasidim before several men rushed toward him. One of them punched the man repeatedly and knocked him to the ground until bystanders separated them.
This is not the only recent case of a Jewish passenger being harassed at an airport and fighting back. Last month, a clash broke out at Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) in Manila, the Philippines, between an American passenger and a Jewish passenger, after the American hurled harsh antisemitic remarks at the Jewish man.

According to reports, the American shouted at him, "Hitler was right, it's a shame he didn't finish killing the Jews," which immediately sparked a physical altercation between the two on the airport grounds.
Security forces at the scene quickly intervened and arrested both people involved in the incident. Philippine authorities said the case had been referred to local prosecutors for further handling, to examine legal steps and the filing of charges.
