A Christian Arab traveling in Greece was beaten severely after being mistaken for a Jewish Israeli.
A 24-year-old Christian tourist from Nazareth, Fahad Qubati was listening to music with Hebrew lyrics while driving in Crete.
Qubati also served in the Israel’s Defense Forces.
He picked up two Jewish passengers, and after he dropped them off, the assailants beat him severely until he showed them that he was wearing a cross.
The attack left him with injuries to his jaw and head.
The victim’s mother,” This was not just an attack, it was an attempted murder,” the victim’s mother, Jacqueline Qubati told Ynet. “I pray for my son’s recovery and will pursue this case until the attackers are punished.”
The Greek embassy in Tel Aviv issued a statement condemning the attack.
