One week after a Holocaust survivor was murdered in Sydney, an Israeli yeshiva student may have been attacked less than a mile from the murder scene. Shortly after midnight Jan. 4, ambulance officers responding to an anonymous call found Nitzan Zerach, 23, lying unconscious in the street on which the yeshiva is located.
Police initially believed Zerach’s injuries were self-inflicted as a result of intoxication, but hospital reports showed no noticeable alcohol in his system.
Doctors discovered he had suffered a brain hemorrhage.
Following a review of yeshiva security footage, a police spokesman told the Australian Jewish News that “new facts had come to light and that they were keeping an open mind.”

Connect the lines between HOLOCAUST DENIAL and acts of Jew hatred .
The fact is that attacks on Jews are becoming very prevalent in many countries today. England, Germany, France, Belgium, just to name those that I know about. It is a sinister and frightening turn of events.
Just like the Nazis “we know nothing we hear nothing we see nothing”
Australia!!!!! Why Australia I never even hear people talk about Australia. Hashem Yerachem!!!!!!!!!! I hope the bochur has a complete refuah shleimah very soon. We should only hear simchas!!
yeshiva student MAY have been attacked… there is no proof that this is an attack! as well, there is yet to be proved that the murder of the holocaust survivor had any relevance to racism.
