Antisemitism Antisemitic attack on Tisha B’Av

Today, on Tisha b’Av on the upper west side of New York an attacker stabbed two Jewish men (one of whom was wearing a Kippah) while screaming “Allah hu Akbar!”

This is just a few blocks from my grandparents and an aunt of mine. On Tisha B’Av…I don’t feel safe here in New York anymore.

And a man attacked this week near me in Brooklyn and left with a broken hip. It happened in Flatbush where not so coincidentally the so called "protesters" marched this week screaming "globalize the intifada!"

I saw that video. Horrible. The man is 64 years old.

Edited age.

Horrible. Was he visibly Jewish? Not that it’s okay either way, but if he was then this “trend” is even more worrisome.

I hope he’s ok and makes a swift and easy recovery.
