KMOV reported:
Alaa Alsaegh pusbished the poem on the Arabs for Israel website.

KMOV reported:

In on-line political magazine, FrontPage Magazine, published a photo of a man

with a Star of David, carved into his back. News 4 interviewed the man, who

says he was attacked on Compton Avenue, just south of downtown on August 14th.
Alaa Alsaegh says that two cars followed him as he drove on Compton. The

drivers cut him off and Alsaegh says he pulled over. That’s when two men got

out of a car, armed with a handgun. They got into Alsaegh’s car and attacked him

with a knife.
Alsaegh showed us a photo that his friend took at the hospital. More than a

month later, Alsaegh still has scars. News 4’s camera captured the outline of the

Star of David, visible on Alsaegh’s back.
Alsaegh is a Muslim from Iraq. He says he recently posted a poem, online,

expressing support for Jewish people in Israel. Alsaegh says that his attackers

told him not to publish any more poems.
St Louis Police confirm that officers responded to a call for help around

10:45 a.m. on August 14th.
