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.

      There’s also the CCTV footage. Although doubtful it has audio.

        Either way, this definitely shows that the existence of Israel (at least in it’s current apartheid form) is making Jews everywhere less safe.

          And like criticism of Islam is making filmmakers, book authors, and cartoonists less safe.

      Because Likud in Israel is shitty, now Rabbis can’t be trusted to tell what was said when one of their patrons was stabbed near the headquarters of Chabad? Your opinions are something else.

        Times of Israel is reporting something a rebi said about some guy he allegedly knows that was attacked in NY…

        Yeah gonna need a little more evidence. This article is classic trust me bro set up. Fake antisemitism is a pretty popular fake news genre especially since Oct 6.
