WATCH: Gutless cops CHOKEHOLD Jewish grandma as violent anti-Israel mob run wild
Avi Yemini tracked down Elza, the 75-year-old Melbourne woman manhandled by police, after mainstream media ignored her story.
Over the weekend, a small group of brave Australian Jews staged a peaceful counter-protest in Melbourne’s CBD against the massive, often aggressive anti-Israel rallies that have dominated the city for the past 18 months. The police response? Target the vulnerable.
After shocking footage went viral showing a 75-year-old Jewish woman being brutally tackled by Victoria Police, I did what no mainstream outlet bothered to do — I found her and heard her story firsthand.
Elza, the woman in that footage, told me, “He just pushed me. Move. Anyway, so I had an umbrella because I had my Australian flag on it and I just put it in front of me. Then the next thing I know there is about four or five of them jumping on me, ripping the umbrella out of me, holding my neck and putting me aside.”

Her crime? Apparently “obstructing peace” and “attacking police officers” — a laughable accusation for an elderly woman who simply stood her ground. “I mean what? I’m a reasonable person. What kind of chances would I have with this big guy?” she said.
Elza, who came to Australia from communist Poland 55 years ago, is deeply proud of the country that gave her a better life. “I started with nothing and Australia gave me all the opportunity and I took all the opportunity… Why disrupt the best country in the world, for God's sake?”
Shortly after Elza’s arrest, other organisers from the Lions of Zion group were also detained, including Yaacov Travitz. He told me, “Basically we have to evacuate anytime the mob comes because the police can't control them. This is Australia.”

In a shocking escalation, Victoria Police (@VictoriaPolice) have been filmed harassing and physically assaulting Jewish activists in the heart of Melbourne.

What’s truly disgraceful is the Victorian police treating peaceful Jews like threats while letting mobs of pro-terror agitators run wild. “They think we are weak,” Elza said. “We don’t have the numbers, and the others do, so they are scared…”
Footage of Victoria Police attacking a group of Jewish Australians holding Israeli and Australian flags seems out of place when you consider the red carpet they roll out for all the far left activists with their daily protests disrupting Melbourne. pic.twitter.com/TePPyov5Nm

Elza isn’t done. When I asked if she’ll go back: “Sure I will go back.” She’s not scared — and neither should we be.
It’s time we stood up for what’s right.

What goes through their dumb heads when they man handle a 75 yr old woman, when clearly the other protesters are the threat? Police are supposed to be there to handle danger – not the least dangerous.
It’s not just Australia. Many, if not all our Western countries now look like this – our leaders are just throwing our countries in trash cans.
And it’s the generations after us that will have to live in these countries once these terrorists take over and start running them. They have already started. They’re in our police forces, our politics. At least twice now we have had a Muslim politician here in Ontario, Canada try to bring Sharia Law to Canada. It was voted down. For now. -
Bruce Atchison commented 2025-04-10 19:25:23 -0400I wish more gentiles would stand with these Jewish protesters. It’s the size of the mob that matters. So if peace-loving gentiles joined the Jews, it would give the cowardly cops pause. And western governments must arrest and prosecute the leaders of this antisemite mob. That’s how we can reclaim our lands from these miscreants.
