VIDEO: Lone Jewish teen stands tall against anti-Israel mob in LA
This is what bravery looks like (via Gateway Pundit & @understandblue):
Israel News has a recap:
A loud and angry mob of pro-Arab demonstrators outside the Israeli consulate in Los Angeles on Tuesday became even more enraged when one, lone Jewish high school student with a yarmulke and a large Israeli flag marched fearlessly alongside them.
The young man, whose name was later learned to be Daniel Pereg, seemed to be unmoved by the angry curses hurled at him by the American-Arab crowd. Though protected by a line of policemen, it appeared he could be attacked at any moment.
Reporters asked him afterwards about his unusual presence, and he explained, “I came out because I want to defend Israel… They [the soldiers attempting to divert the flotilla ships - ed.] were attacked, and they had the right to defend [themselves]. These people [on the boats] were not humanitarians; their ship was armed with knives, batons, and all kinds of things to attack the Israelis with. There is a naval blockade on Gaza, and they [the soldiers] were just doing their job of enforcing it… Hamas is a terrorist organization trying to kill Israelis.”
[...]
This contrasted with the Arab-Americans who appear at the end of the video. One girl said that a Palestinian state alongside Israel would not satisfy her, as “there should not be an Israeli state! The Israeli state does not even exist!”
Another Arab-speaking American explained, “The only reason Israel is doing this is because they got kicked out from, uh, the German whatever, whatever happened to them. So they’re trying to take out their anger on someone else.” Asked about the Bible and the Jewish presence in the Land of Israel since the times of King Solomon, he lowered his voice and said, “I don’t know about that.”
Sounds like a crowd full of Helen Thomas wannabes.

Wow. Brave young man. Not sure how smart a thing that was but he made his point.
AWESOME! And just for the record, I am not jewish.
Bravo!
I’m not Jewish either. Or at least I don’t think I am. Pretty much a pure-blooded mongrel, so far as I know.
Is it important?
As I have been say since before the 2008 election, if the Jews have any friends (I started to right “non-Jewish”[1]), they are among the conservatives.
[1] I don’t know how to say it, but not all Jews are friends of the Jews, it would appear.
But I am pretty much a “right” vs “wrong” kind of guy–not much else matters.
Yes,this young man will grow up to be someone for sure. I assume the protesters are American supporters of Hamas. Some of them sound like they’re one step away from being terrorists themselves. We have them here in Vermont also.
Definitely from some college organization in LA.
This was certainly a Daniel in the Lion’s Den….brave kid and he had the facts and a handle on reality unlike the pro-Palestinian supporters.
I am glad the LA police were there to protect him. I am sure his parents are proud, but a bit unnerved by this action he took. More young Jewish and Christian Americans should have been there to stand with him. Perhaps he will start a new Stand Up for Israel Movement! God Bless you Daniel!
Finally!! Someone is standing up for what is right. To stand alone doesn’t mean he is wrong. The truth is the truth.
he sounds like grown up, comparing to that dork that knows nothing and terrorist lady.
