A Jewish doctor in South Africa was beaten by a group of men wearing kaffiyehs and chanting anti-Jewish slogans, but will not press charges, according to Israeli news reports. Police said it was the third time the doctor, who was reported to be in satisfactory condition, had been attacked. The attack comes amid virulently anti-Israel and anti-Semitic demonstrations at the U.N. World Conference Against Racism taking place in Durban, South Africa.
