An American woman was assaulted and chased from a park after she wrote “Am Yisrael Chai” on a pavement during an anti-Israel demonstration.

Hannah Larson was kicked, threatened and called a “f***ing whore” during the incident in Oakland, California.

The 22-year-old and a friend were targeted after writing the slogan in chalk, and drawing a derogatory reference to Hamas.

The attack on the Jewish woman took place during a rally to mark the fourth anniversary of a local resident being injured while demonstrating against the Israeli military in the West Bank.
