On June 8, the eve of Jewish holiday Shavuot, 60 students of the Armenian Church attacked two young Jews who were walking on the Armenian Patriarchate Street in the Old City of Jerusalem and severely beat them until they needed urgent medical treatment, Trend reports citing The Jewish Press.

According to Honenu attorney Chaim Bleicher, representing the victims, the vicious beatings continued "until the priests who led the students began to instruct them to stop the lynching.”

Attorney Bleicher sent a letter to Police Investigations and Intelligence Division urging the completion of the investigation of his clients’ case, and described the attack:

"While my clients werewalking on the sidewalk, the group of Armenians approached them and began to attack them with murderous blows. My clients were punched in their faces and kicked all over their bodies while they were lying on the floor. […] One of the youths was thrown in the air on his back and when he lay helpless on the ground many Armenians stood over him and continued to beat him. The brutal assault lasted a few minutes, until the priests who led the students began to instruct them to stop the lynching.

Again, one cannot stress enough the value of good teaching.
