A group of Jewish Americans who showed up in solidarity of the Black Lives Matter movement in Philadelphia were taunted and assaulted by rioters, according to a video circulating on social media.
The protestors told the Jewish men to “get the f*** out of here” and one Jewish man was shoved by a protester as he tried to leave.
The man, who seems to be the one videoing the scene, calls the Jewish men “Amalek.”
“Amalek! Amalek! What y’all doing down here,” he says.
‘Amalekites’ are considered enemies to Jews within Jewish tradition.
One of the Jewish men responds that they were “just showing solidarity,” to which they received hostile responses to “get your white a** [on] home” and “Amalek ‘bout to get trashed, cuz.”
As the Jewish men walk away, a protestor is heard mentioning the “synagogue of Satan” and Revelation 2:9.
Revelation 2:9 reads “I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.”
The protesters were gathered in response to the fatal police shooting of Walter Wallace Jr, a black man who allegedly had a knife and refused to disarm himself.
Violent rioting in Philadelphia has led to at least 30 police officers getting injured Monday night.
Rioters have also been engaging in extensive looting and graffitied “Death to America” on a Bank of America.
“We can never allow mob rule. The Trump Administration stands proudly with law enforcement, and stands ready, upon request, to deploy any and all Federal resources to end these riots,” the White House stated.
