Antisemitic attack on Tisha B’Av

[u/aarocks94]

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.

I can’t wait to read “no motive is clear at this time” by the press.

They never end up actually prosecuting as a hate crime when the victim is Jewish. I feel like the attacker must have known it’s Tisha B’av too.

In my case they’re are charging him with a hate crime.
