31:59Now PlayingIn a harrowing case that lays bare the dangers faced by Jews even in the heart of the UK, three men were sentenced to over eight years in prison for kidnapping Israeli music producer Itay Kashti in a violent, antisemitic plot. The attackers—Faiz Shah, Mohammad Comrie, and Elijah Ogunnubi-Sime—posed as music executives, lured Kashti to a remote cottage in rural Wales under the guise of a “recording camp,” and assaulted him the moment he arrived. Wearing Guy Fawkes-style masks, they beat him, chained him to a radiator, and threatened his life. “They said they were going to kill me, and they chained me, handcuffed me to a pipe... I was bleeding, shocked,” Kashti recalled. His taxi driver, also attacked, managed to escape, prompting the kidnappers to panic and flee. Alone and injured, Kashti freed himself and called the police. Judge Catherine Richards ruled he was “targeted due to his Jewish heritage,” and said the plot was motivated by both money and the rising global tide of anti-Israel hatred. Though Kashti has since healed physically, the trauma lingers: “If they do turn into better people, then it was worth locking them up.”
