19 April 2008

A Palestinian businessman, in celebration of Palestine Independence, which occurred 14 March 2008 and to show respect to the Jewish people painted a Jewish flag on the ground outside of his home in the southern city of Basra, Iraq.

On the 18 April 2008, a group of U.S. Marines on maneuver’s came by the front of the wall to his home and upon seeing the Jewish flag, apparently out of disgust, sprayed the front of the Palestinian mans wall causing it to be bullet riddled.

This incident because of the Jewish flag being shown and the type of aggression, is considered Anti-Semitism on the part of the U.S. Marine’s, by not just many of the Jewish people, but also Arab Palestinians.
