A young Jewish man was stabbed early Saturday morning near the Chabad movement’s headquarters in New York City by a man yelling “Free Palestine,” according to a local rabbi who said he knows the victim, as well as CCTV footage of the incident published online.
Yaacov Behrman tweeted that during Shabbat, the young male attacker asked the man: “Do you want to die?” He then stabbed him.
The victim was taken to the hospital and is expected to make a full recovery, Behrman said.
Sorry I meant the local Muslim community, not anyone at large. Muslims are not a monolith.
But that’s my point though, I don’t think it’s a good idea for a random Muslim to blame a random Jewish person for what politicians are doing. If anything, our shared and collective helplessness against larger and out of control forces should unite us.
