The Jewish family who was targeted with foul-mouthed harassment in a New Jersey mall has spoken out in an exclusive interview with DailyMail.com after shocking video of the incident went viral.
On New Year's Day, mother Adi Vaxman was with her husband and two of their children, ages 12 and 16, at the American Dream Mall in East Rutherford, where the family hoped to play a round of mini-golf. As they walked through the dense holiday crowds, a young man and woman began hurling obscenities at her daughter, who was wearing a jacket with the logo of the Israeli Defense Forces, which had been a gift from the girl's veteran grandfather.

Such irony in this story about anti-Semitic terroristic behavior exhibited against a family of Jews in the "American Dream Mall."

I'm sorry that happened to them and their family. That said, people like them have overwhelmingly voted Democrat for 100 years. You reap what you sow. If there weren't Jewish communities in New York that voted more than 100 percent of their registered voter base for Hillary Clinton for President, I might be more inclined to expend some sympathy. But that did happen . . . so I'm not going to waste my time feeling sorry for you.

There’s ALWAYS a new generation of idiots who can be brainwashed to take part in the oldest hatred. Even in AMERICA.

Can you imagine the outcry if a Jewish person had done the same thing to a Muslim family?

Why is it always foul-mouthed young WOMEN who start this rampant hatred? It was the same during the BLM riots, fat, ugly white girls stirring up the pot and leading the violent riots.

I used to live in a country where, when bystanders witnessed such nonsense, they grabbed the idiots by the collar and booted them out into the parking lot, to the applause of everyone else.

If they thought that the average dullard whose glued to his cellphone all day would do anything, dream on, especially in the northeast.

Jews from the north would be wise to head south to the Bible belt. The sermon at my large church on Sunday was about support for the Jews, God's chosen people.

Liberals never defend others unless it advances their agenda.
Mandate everyone else follows your ideals and philosophy, but never get involved when you might get hurt.
Cowards and hipocrites.

Agree with #2. When Jews stop voting Democrat, I will cry a river for them!

Anyone remember the outcry over Trump's "Muslim ban?" Seems like a good idea now.

I saw a group of pro-Palestinian protesters demonstrating in Gettysburg (no less) last weekend. They were yelling their idiotic chant “free free Palestine” which literally means that Palestine is already free but whatever. Traffic was heavy so I was stuck in front of them briefly. As I sat there one of them looked at me meaningfully as if he wanted my approval. And then it hit me. I rarely have used the word “evil” in my life but a realization suddenly struck me with an unusual clarity: “this is evil. I am in the presence of evil”. Those protesting to help a vicious heartless gang of Satanists in Gaza are evil - demonic even. I realized then there is no talking with them. They are imbecilic, hate-filled, heartless vessels. I said a little prayer and when traffic allowed I drove away.

What did they expect them to do? Put themselves at risk by confronting nutty people?

#2/#10 I guess you guys don't know how Orthodox/Hasidic communities vote in NYC. It's a solid, and growing, conservative Republican voting block. Something like 96% of votes are Republican, and they all vote.
This community is also identifiably Jewish by dress, so they take the brunt of harassment.
So much so, the NYC establishment targets them for harassment.

This is America and she can wear what she wants. That said, it is a post constitutional America where the thugs and America haters operate with impunity. It was very unwise to wear such a logo. It may even have been intentional baiting. Next time just go topless. Everyone likes that.

16: But the Free Palestine movement could wear clothing with their hateful logos and no one would assault them.
