Anti-Jewish Hate Crimes still spiking

Hasidic man attacked in third antisemitic assault in Brooklyn in eight days

An antisemitic hate crime spree in the Crown Heights section of Brooklyn, New York struck its latest victim on Wednesday, wreaking an “excruciating” beating on a middle-aged Hasidic man.

According to Yaacov Behrman, a liaison for Chabad Headquarters — the main New York base of the Hasidic movement — the victim was accosted by two assailants, one masked, who “chased and beat him” after he refused to surrender his cell phone in compliance with what appears to have been an attempted robbery.

“The victim is in excruciating pain and is currently in the emergency room,” Behrman tweeted. “The police are investigating the incident.”

The perpetrators were two Black teenagers, according to COLlive.com, an Orthodox Jewish news outlet.

Tuesday’s attack was the third time in eight days that an Orthodox resident of Crown Heights was targeted for violence and humiliation.

All hate is wrong. And love always wins over hate. Today in our church we prayed for President Donald J Trump and his new presidency and we also prayed for Mala Harris. We need to love everyone and the Democrats need to get on board and start loving more they need to rid themselves of all their hate negativity and divisiveness in this country it really has hurt us a great deal we have a great country we need to love each other!
