Machete-wielding black man attacks Jews at Hanukkah party

NEW YORK—Several people were stabbed Saturday night at a Hanukkah celebration at an Orthodox rabbi’s home in Rockland County, police said.

A man armed with a machete entered the home in Monsey’s Forshay neighborhood around 9:50 p.m., said several reports.

The suspect stabbed five people, said Chief Brad Weidel of the Ramapo Police Department, which covers Monsey.

New York Police Department officers later caught the suspect in Harlem, Weidel said. The suspect was a black man who had fled the scene in a Nissan Sentra, said the website Vos Iz Neias .

About 50 people attended the celebration at the rabbi’s home, said Lazer Klein, 19, who lives in the neighborhood and spoke to others about what happened.

Klein said the suspect, whose face was covered, parked his car on a side street and went to the home armed with a “large machete.”

“He just took it out, and started to run at people,” said Aron Kohn, 65, who witnessed the attack. “I saw him stabbing people, and I started throwing chairs and tables.”

Kohn said he then fled the home with two women. “I was scared for my life. I ran out the front door,” he said.

Around then, Klein arrived at the scene. “As I came up people were running away, screaming and calling the cops," he said. "They didn’t know what was going on.”

The suspect tried to make a run from the rabbi’s home to a synagogue next door — but someone locked the door to keep him from going inside.

Two of the five wounded were in in critical condition, said the Orthodox Jewish Public Affairs Council of the Hudson Valley.

One victim was stabbed at least six times, the organization said.

FBI agents were at the scene early Sunday. The NYPD’s Counterterrorism Bureau said it was “closely monitoring” the situation.

EDITOR’S NOTE: Israeli Prime minister Netanyahu said, ““Israel strongly condemns the recent displays of anti-Semitism, including the vicious attack at the home of a rabbi ... during Hanukkah. We send our best wishes for recovery to the wounded. We will cooperate however possible with the local authorities in order to assist in defeating this phenomenon. We offer our assistance to every country.”

Rabbis Marvin Hier, Dean and Founder, and Abraham Cooper, Associate Dean of the Simon Wiesenthal Center urged Black leaders to speak out against the spate of recent hate crimes in New York and New Jersey carried out by black anti-Semites. They also said, “Enough is enough! Jews should not have to fear for their lives in America to go to their houses of worship. The FBI must step up and take the lead in all recent violent hate crimes targeting religious Jews.”

Blacks constitute the largest group of Jew haters in this country, despite that Jews were in the forefront of the civil rights movement and shed their blood for blacks.

The Guardian Angels have stepped in to patrol the Jewish neighborhoods of Brooklyn which are in the midst of that borough’s black communities.

What have Jews ever done to deserve black anti-Semitism? It must be because as a minority that has been hated as much as blacks, Jews have become successful while blacks are left with Farrakhan’s Nation of Islam, dope dealers, and the likes of Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. Envy breeds hatred.

Guardian Angels to patrol Jewish neighborhoods in New York City after recent attacks

The Guardian Angels, a private, unarmed crime-prevention group, said it would start patrolling New York City's Brooklyn borough on Sunday following a series of anti-Semitic attacks.

Curtis Sliwa, who founded the organization in 1979 in New York City, said the patrols would start at noon in the Crown Heights neighborhood and expand to Williamsburg and Borough Park later in the day.

The move came hours before five people were wounded in a stabbing attack during a Hanukkah party at a rabbi's house in upstate New York late Saturday.

The latest incident followed eight attacks on Jews in Brooklyn since Dec. 13, according to the New York Police Department.

The violence included victims being struck in the face, head and back of the head and at least one suspect throwing a beverage at someone, police said.

"These attacks are taking place, and the cops have not been proactive at all," Sliwa said Saturday. "It comes from City Hall and the mayor. He's been just apathetic."

The press office for Mayor Bill de Blasio responded in a statement Saturday, saying, “We have no tolerance for anti-Semitism in New York City.

"The best police department in the world has increased deployment in Crown Heights, Boro Park and Williamsburg, and has launched a new intelligence unit to prevent hate crimes from occurring," it continued. "We will continue to work hand in hand with the community to keep our city safe.”

Prior to Saturday night's stabbing, the latest attack occurred Friday when a woman allegedly slapped three females in Brooklyn and later told officers it was because they're Jewish, police said at a news conference.

The suspect, Tiffany Harris, 30, was charged Saturday with attempted assault as a hate crime, according to court records. She was released without bail.

On Dec. 10, a couple opened fire at a kosher market in Jersey City, New Jersey, and exchanged gunfire with officers. It ended in the deaths the two, a police officer and three people who had been inside the JC Kosher Supermarket.

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo called the attacks "disturbing."

"This recent spate of hate-fueled crimes is even more disturbing as they occurred during the Hanukkah holiday, a time when Jewish New Yorkers gather to celebrate," he said in a statement Friday.

Sliwa said local leaders of the Lubavitch Hasidic movement asked for his group's help, and he believes Guardian Angels patrols will halt the violence.

"We’re a visual deterrence in our red berets and our red satin jackets," he said. "Nobody’s going to commit an attack when we're around."

If they do, he said, "We’ll physically restrain the persons responsible, make a citizen's arrest, and hold them until the police arrive."

EDITOR’S NOTE: The police do not like the Guardian Angels because the Angels do a better job of protecting communities than do the cops. It hasn’t been lost on them that many people think more highly of the Guardian Angels than they think of cops.
