Anti-semitism

So hey its been made busy here, the going to Israeli stuff (please see my other blog), and I needed a break so i decided after dinner a few days back to go for a walk. I hadn't succeeded in going more than 150 yards when i heard a car approaching me very fast from behind, this isn't unusual on my road although its a 30 zone people drive along it like mad things, any way they shouted something and I turned around just in time to see a man nude from his waist up leaning right out of the window, he shouted something at me in a think local accent (I picked up just enough to know it was hostile and antisemitic) before I was hit hard in the shoulder by a frozen chicken burger he had thrown at me. Anyway I know that this is what everybody says but it all happen so quickly that i didn't have a chance to take down the number plate. So when I get home I ask my family if i have a bruise on my shoulder because it was really starting to hurt. I didn't so all i did was facebook about it, I am something of a facebook addict :) and lots and lots and lots of my FBFs said i should report it if not to the police then at least to CST. So reluctantly I did, I say reluctantly because where i live antisemitic incidents are not uncommon and if I were to report them all I would spend all my time doing so. (That said it is a rare day when stuff is actually thrown at me), also when it happened I was very pushed for time and i didn't want to waste it. But in the end i did send an email report to CST who emailed back and said i should phone the police, so I did. At the end of the call the police person said she had to send someone around because it was a hate crime, and so latter two very nice policemen came to call to take a statement, which took ages as these things do. Anyway that was it because as i hadn't noted their number there wasn't much that they could do. I thought that that was it until yesterday about ten days latter I had a call from victim's support to see if i was okay, which was very nice but it all feels like a lot of work for a lot of people because of one silly thing. Although my should still hurts a little.
Apart from that every thing has been Israel related, excepting I read some Torah at Newcastle synagogue and went to see a student production of the Merchant of Venice at Keele with Rachel B. It was really rather good. Acting wise it was great but given the what the play was i was surprised that i enjoyed it so much.
