The reporter is a Jewish woman who was with her two children in a kosher restaurant. Outside the restaurant she noticed that her friends son was sitting, waiting to be picked up when he was approached by a large Muslim man. She watched as the man was talking to the boy and saw the man take out a book. At this point she became suspicious and told her children to wait while she went to find out what was going on.
She went outside and said to the man, “can I help you? Please can you not speak to this boy.” The man said ok thats fine and asked her where he could find the library. This made her more suspicious as the library was next door to the restaurant but she pointed him in the direction and then asked the young boy what he had said.
The boy said that the man told him “the Jewish religion is fake and is based on lies. Islam is the real religion.” The man then tried to give the boy the Quran. The boy ignored the man during the whole encounter.

The reporter is not Jewish, he was getting a drink in a coffee shop but there was nowhere to sit so he asked the staff what to do and so they pointed to a table and said they think that man is leaving.
He went over to the table and sat down but the man at the table started shouting about how if Jews were not here the world would be a better place as there would not be any wars. He then started telling the reporter that he did not believe in the Holocaust and said that the numbers of Jews perished have been exaggerated. The reporter just sat and tried to ignore the man who then started ranting about how awful a place Israel is.
The reporter felt uncomfortable and apologised to us that he did not know how to stand up for Israel and the Jews as he is not Jewish but he does not condone the abuse. The man that was ranting stood up to leave and said goodbye to the reporter and went to shake his hand but he refused.
