Two men were attacked by three men on Sunday afternoon outside of a Santana Row restaurant in San Jose, CA.  The incident is being investigated as a hate crime.

At about 3:38 the local constabulary responded to the fight.  The three attackers were apparently incensed that the two victims were speaking Hebrew while waiting to be seated at the restaurant.  Both were wearing Star of David necklaces.  The two victims were described as Israeli-Americans.  There is pretty good video of the incident, which began verbally but quickly escalated.  One of the victims was beaten unconscious.

The three attackers fled the scene before the cops arrived.
