Disturbingly huge wave of backlash against Jewish communities has been generated due to the recent conflict between Israel and Gaza with the American Jews becoming targets of death threats, hate speech and violent physical attacks, Fox News warns.
Even after Israel and Gaza have reached a ceasefire agreement, disturbing video emerged late Thursday showing the Middle East conflict transferred on a NYC sidewalk with two commercial fireworks thrown from a car resulting with one person suffering minor burns.
One New Yorker who was confronted by a pro-Palestinian mob on his way to synagogue this week, pointed that Jews are being targeted across the US in broad daylight in textbook examples of anti-Semitism, saying people should stop telling me this is about Israel and Gaza.
Another video showed an older man being viciously beaten on a street in Times Square by a gang of pro-Palestinians for wearing a Kippah. NYPD said their Hate Crime Task Force is investigating the gang assault.
The newest escalation is not much of a surprise in the Empire State or wider. Preliminary ADL Data published Thursday revealed uptick in anti-Semitic incidents linked to recent Middle East violence. ADL, the organization monitoring, tracking and responding to antisemitism in the United States, received nearly 200 reports of possible anti-Semitic incidents, up from 131 the week before the conflict began.
ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt pointed that they’re witnessing a dangerous and drastic surge in anti-Jewish hate right here at home while tracking acts of harassment, vandalism and violence as well as a torrent of online abuse around the world.
ADL has documented disturbing antisemitism on social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, TikTok and Instagram , with messages ranging from explicit praise for Hitler, calling for the destruction of the Jewish state to demonization of all Jews, including posts that state: GAS THE KIKES RACE WAR NOW.
