We talked to the Palestinian man beaten by Zionist supporters in the U.S.

A Palestinian man was horrifically assaulted by members of the Jewish Defense League during a protest against the AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee) conference on Monday.

Captured on camera, the incident has since gone viral through a video posted social media. The assaulted man has been identified as a 55-year-old teacher named Kamal Nayfeh.

Speaking to StepFeed, Nayfeh explains the details of the assault.

"I was dropping my daughter Danya off at the protest, and decided to spend a few minutes with her there just to make sure that she was safe," he said.

"For the first few minutes we were just standing with the protesters, and journalists were interviewing a few people who were next to us."

Nayfeh then overheard a member of the Jewish defense league say: "There is no Palestine." Angered, Nayfeh felt the need to reply. He walked towards the person and said: "I am Palestine, I am Palestinian."

"It was a few seconds after I said those words that I was pushed down, grabbed, kicked and assaulted," he told StepFeed.

Nayfeh had to be hospitalized after the attack and almost lost his eye. He also tells us that two people have been arrested for their involvement in the attack. They will be charged for committing a hate crime.

Since the attack, Nayfeh and his family have received an outpouring of love and support from thousands of people, including many from the Jewish community.

The crowd of anti-AIPAC protestors were also "largely Jewish," denouncing the conference and calling for a free Palestine. They were eventually confronted by people from the Jewish Defense League, who showed up in support of AIPAC. 

Before the pro-Israel conference was held, many organizations called for protests against the event, including Ifnotnow, a group who stand against Israel's occupation of Palestine. 

There were also many protests held in Palestine. 

Many world leaders, including former British Prime Minister Tony Blair and U.S. ambassador to the UN Nicki Haley spoke at the conference. Haley's comments sparked outrage after she pledged to end what she described as "Israel-bashing."
