Heroic lone young Jew at demonstration in LA stands up for rationality and justice, confronting the hate.

This young man is a symbol of Jewish isolation in the face of what is now gathering pace and venom across the world, as it goes progressively mad. His single-minded act of bravery has made him an icon in the world of decency. This video was picked up by a major media outlet and has since gone viral. Daniel is a symbol of the Jewish People : through him, the world can understand how David vanquished Goliath, how little Israel vanquished the arab nations surrounding it in 1967. Undeterred, he marched unflinchingly among the screaming, enraged, murderous crowd. HE WON. May his example be a beacon of light in a sea of violence, ignorance and hatred. I salute him, just as I salute the brave soldiers who dared face the murderous Muslim thugs, armed only with paintball guns and small pistols. added by: crystalman
