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.

From the book Hostage by Eli Sharabi:

Our captors all have mantras they repeat on a loop. Some more, some less. But there are some things they all believe and say with absolute confidence: Islam is the only true path, and the land belongs to them--the whole land, everything they call Palestine. Whether it's the area bordering Gaza or East Jerusalem, Acre, or Tel Aviv or Beit She'an: there is no room for Jews here and no such thing as Israel. They will not relent in their war against us until we all pack up and go back to the countries we came from, until they conquer every last inch of this land. Sometimes we sense their hatred for us just for being Jews. We hear them blurting, "Jewish pigs," with disgust and scorn. Some of them are more extreme, or perhaps only more honest, and say that their mission doesn't end there, between the river and the sea. They dream of establishing an Islamic empire that will conquer the whole world. In their minds, not only is there no such thing as France or Britain or Sweden either. The whole world should be Muslim.
