Lewis wrote that when he said he was not Jewish, one of the men said, \u201cGood,\u201d but when Lewis prompted, \u201cWhat if I was Jewish?\u201d the man got in his face, saying, \u201cI\u2019ll beat the f***in s*** out of you and kill you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lewis wrote on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CPI9FGHhmWP\/\">Instagram:<\/a><\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"20\">\n<p><em>Last night I was walking in New York with a friend and all of a sudden a group of 6-8 Palestinian men walk up to me and asked me where I was from. I responded and said \u201cNew York.\u201d Then one guy asks me if I am Jewish. I paused for a moment in confusion and thought about it, then I saw them withdrawing knives. I obviously said no. The guy looked at me with such disgust in his eyes and said \u201cGood.\u201d As I started walking away, I felt extremely angry and felt like I had to say something.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>So I turned back around to him and said to him, \u201cWhat if I was Jewish?\u201d The group of men walk up to my face and the same guy says, \u201c\u2019I\u2019ll beat the f***in s*** out of you and kill you.\u201d As I was face to face with this guy I told him, \u201cWhat is the need for that?\u201d He started charging at me but a few women who were with the group started screaming at him to stop and let it go. Luckily my friend and I were fine. However, if I was visibly Jewish, I don\u2019t know what would of happened to me. Everyone who is \u201cvisibly\u201d Jewish now has to be scared to walk around New York in peace and that\u2019s a huge problem.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The same day Lewis was accosted, Joseph Borgen, 29, who is Jewish, was beaten and pepper sprayed by a pro-Palestinian mob group in Times Square. He told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-9606203\/Jewish-man-tells-knocked-ground-group-pro-Palestinian-men-Times-Square.html\">The Daily Mail<\/a> on Friday:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"18\">\n<p>I turned around to try to figure out what was going on and the next thing I knew I was surrounded by a whole crowd of people who proceeded to physically attack me, beat me, kick me, punch me, hit me with crutches, hit me with flag poles, \u2026 After I wound up on the ground, I was literally just in a fetal position, trying to guard my head and face, literally just trying to make it out of their alive. They maced me or pepper sprayed me for like a minute straight. My whole face was on fire. I couldn\u2019t see. In the hospital, they literally had to drain out my eyes. My skin\u2019s still on fire in certain places. \u2026 I thought I was going to die. I thought I was really going to die.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Borgen said eight to 10 people were in the group that attacked him and shouted, \u201cYou filthy Jew. We\u2019re going to f****** kill you. Go back to Israel. Hamas is going to kill you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He commented, \u201cThey feel like they can get away with more because they have politicians backing them up. \u2018Some of the things I see in the news and on social media, it\u2019s just sickening to me. I would never think I\u2019d ever have to worry about my religion or my skin color or my ethnicity being a problem in New York City. Beyond just the Jewish perspective, the amount of hate that\u2019s going on these days is really just mind blowing to me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One suspect in the attack on Borgen, Wassem Awawdah, was arrested on Friday night, according to the NYPD.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
