Baruch Goldstein, a doctor from Kiriyat Arba on the West Bank, massacred Arabs praying in the Cave of the Matriarchs in Hebron. His actions sparked widespread riots, including in Jaffa near Tel Aviv, where this photograph was taken.
I was beaten up by a demonstrating mob who thought I was a police photographer. Sitting on my motorbike, I was surrounded by at least 200 demonstrators some of whom were hitting me and trying to get at my cameras. Luckily someone in the crowd, an Arab, grabbed me and took me to his house. My cameras had not been damaged. My glasses had been smashed and my motorbike scratched. After greatful thanks and a glass of water, I went out to take more photographs. |
