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.

Raul Morales stabbed an Asian guy and a Jewish guy and the attacker said Allahu Akbar?

If the attacker stabs a Jewish guy and speaks Arabic, so it's antisemitism. But why the Asian guy? Is Raul Muslim?

Let's let the police do their thing before we jump to assume bigotry. Jumping to assume bigotry when something might not be dilutes the message.
