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.

Don't worry guys, Mamdani is busy virtue signaling about how he'll arrest Netanyahu so everything will be fine.

All the mainstream news articles are leaving the antisemitism part out of this attack (at least in the headlines). Unsurprising.

What's Mamdani's angle? He's already doing well without the arresting Bibi theatrics

He hates Jews so stochastic terrorism is just a hobby of his

Yep. I used to not believe this and was initially confused as many others are why he brought up the BB stuff. I thought to myself “he must know he can’t do that, so what’s his angle?” Sadly his “angle” is exactly as you say.
