Jewish couple targeted in bloody Beverly Hills attack says antisemitism has hit a level they've 'never' seen
Fox News
A Jewish couple in California who was attacked while going to a synagogue spoke out on the assault during 'FOX & Friends First' as antisemitism continues to surge.
"No, never," Rebecca told co-host Todd Piro, when asked if she had ever seen anti-Jewish hate as bad as it is now. "It started a couple of years ago, maybe during COVID, and it slowly deteriorated… I started to stash away my jewelry into safes, and it was very awful to understand at this point that it went up since the Israel-Hamas war 300%."

The suspect, now in police custody, allegedly lashed Raphael in the head with a belt buckle Saturday morning and yelled at Rebecca, "Give me your earrings, Jew!" before leaving the scene. Raphael's shirt was covered with blood following the attack. He was wearing a yarmulke at the time.
