Man said chants began when a cashier shouted ‘Free Palestine’ after noticing he and his son were wearing kippahs

A Jewish father and his six-year-old son were targeted by a mob on Sunday chanting “Free Palestine” and “murderers” at a service station near Milan, with the man eventually pushed to the floor and repeatedly kicked, in the latest of a sharp rise in antisemitic incidents across Europe.

According to the victim - a 52-year-old French Jew who lives in France and gave his name only as Elie - the incident began when a cashier shouted “Free Palestine”, upon noticing that he and his son were wearing kippahs.
