Pro-Israel student attacked in Boston by anti-Israel demonstrator
Attacker carried poster praising Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) Israel divestment — contact Boston Police if you know her identity
Chloé Simone Valdary is an outspoken pro-Israel student who has organized pro-Israel events, made pro-Israel videos and written op-eds critical of the anti-Israel Boycott, Divest and Sanction (BDS) movement.
We have featured her videos several times, and also written about the vicious, racist attacks on her because of her pro-Israel views:
- The ugly, repugnant attack on a pro-Israel black American student
- Stand with Chloé Simone Valdary
- “As a free woman of color, of course I would be a Zionist, it’s only natural”
On Friday, July 11, 2014, Chloé attended a pro-Israel counter rally in Boston near the Israeli Consulate. There were about 75 anti-Israel protesters, according to Chloé, and about 12 pro-Israel protesters.

As this video shows, Chloé was physically assaulted by a woman carrying a pro-BDS poster in what appears to be an unprovoked attack:
Here are more images of the woman provided to me by Chloé (photo credit Elan Kawesch):
I think its significant that the woman was carrying a poster praising the recent Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) divestment from certain companies doing business in Israel. PC-USA can claim all it wants it seeks peace, but it got in bed with hateful BDS people, some of whom are dangerous.
According to The Times of Israel, the anti-Israel protest was organized by Jewish Voice for Peace, a hideously anti-Israel group active in the BDS movement.
The attacker has not yet been identified.
Chloé informed me that she filed a complaint with the Boston Police Department in the Allston Precinct that day. Anyone with tips as to the identity of the woman can call the Boston Police at 1 (800) 494-TIPS or text TIP to CRIME (27463).
Chloé provided the following additional statement:
There were about 11 of us and 75 of them. I don’t think she knew who I was, she was nasty to everyone. It was a disgusting experience but I can’t say I am surprised. We have always known that the anti-Israel crowd is filled with Jew haters and Arab supremacists who preach a steady dose of racism. But they cannot stop us and they cannot silence us. We will continue to march forward and promote justice and Zionism.
We can expect more of this, as anti-Israel rallies increasingly are becoming threatening, as reflected in our post about a protest in San Francisco:

I have to wonder about WTF the police are doing at these incidents, if not keeping the peace and taking information on those who breach the peace.
This will lead to escalating violence.
Go with friends, carry phones. Post the pictures, identify the criminals, and press charges.
Every time.
Why do I suspect that if Chloe had dropped her phone and socked this woman in the jaw that the Boston PD would have been right there to arrest her?
That video at the bottom of the post is very chilling. Hatred that visceral doesn’t stop at words. Sooner or later rage like that expressed by that individual in the red headdress will manifest in physical violence.
Need proof of the beginning of the breakdown of civil society? Just look at the lack of respect of the shown for the law (represented by the two cops in uniform). All the swearing and vituperating, and the police acting as if they’re somewhere else but there. The other shoe is going to drop sooner rather than later.
G-d help us.
The Muslim hatred of Jews, inculcated from infancy, is a seething, paranoid and quite insane hatred like no other I know of among humankind. They hate Jews with a ferocious passion because their “prophet” told them that the deity demands it and taught them to blame all their failures on Jews.
The fact that Israeli Jews are so clearly more industrious and accomplished and civilized than Muslims drives them completely bonkers, because their “prophet” said that Muslims are the best of people and Jews are the lowest of the accursed. Instead of trying to emulate Israeli success, the Muslims (and their enablers) lash out in genocidal fury.
If these pro-terrorist rallies come to a city near me, I’m gonna have to get me an Israeli flag.
Just wear.( Medium lot light ) blue & white
. If you get attacked , stand up i & sing – Don’t cry for me Argentina , I never left you , all through the dark days ,….. I kept my promise , don’t keep your distance..
There is also Zorba The Greek dance .

Well, the attacker’s hair is colored a lighter shade than its natural color, and her features suggest Middle Eastern characteristics.
I would wager she is Muslim.
I applaud Chloe and everyone who has the courage to stand up to the terroristic bullying tactics of these cowards.
