The NYPD is investigating two possible hate incidents which occurred in Brooklyn late Motzei Shabbos.
Sources tell YWN that at around 7:30PM, two Jewish teens were assaulted on Ocean Parkway and 18th Avenue. The victims claim a group of men exited a Toyota Camry and assaulted them.
The boys say they were forced to say “Free Palestine”, and were repeatedly punched. They claim another few men surrounded them with baseball bats.
The boys say that a Muslim Uber driver saved their lives when he passed by and saw what was happening. He drove them to where they were staying for Shabbos, in the area of Avenue R and East 12th Street.
Meanwhile, a short while later, a group of men exited a vehicle on 16th Avenue and 49th Street in the heart of Boro Park, and began yelling anti-Semitic slurs at Jews on the street. One man reportedly spit at Jewish pedestrians while yelling “kill the Jews”. Another man punched a car mirror, breaking it.
The NYPD is looking into the possibility that both incidents are connected. A massive NYPD response was called late Motzei Shabbos, and a Level 1 Mobilization was requested.
These 2 suspects went around chasing and harassing people on 16th Avenue and also vandalized a vehicle. If you have any info, please call @NYPD66Pct Detectives 718-851-5603 and the #Shomrim hotline 718-871-6666. #StopTheHate @NYPDHateCrimes pic.twitter.com/Bs3oUuPbsb

Earlier today Orthodox Jews were harassed in front of this Shul on 16th Avenue by a group of males yelling “Free Palestine – kill all the Jews”.
We are hearing of multiple similar incidents that occurred over Shabbos. These perpetrators must be brought to justice. pic.twitter.com/gEkhKpTqpC

These thugs are out numbered, if only they would just team up and beat the living day light out of those animals, or alternatively if the Frum community would be armed, I would assume thugs like these would think twice before attacking Jews.
Everyone needs to carry pepper spray even on shabos!!
I can’t believe with all those people around nobody jumped on those two losers and knocked their lights off.I hope they at least got the license plate number from the car
The Muslim guy who punched a jew in Manhattan last week was back on the streets last night cheering. I’m just wondering, what’s the point to arrest them? They know they are doing wrong. So a policeman can tell them?

Each shul has to have a panic button for Shabbes. So many men were passing and no one could arrest these thugs? Why we are all so patient
Wow
The incitement of Omar, Tlaib etc. is doing exactly what they wanted.
And where are ker a velt now? Completely silent, because Jews being attacked and terrorized doesn’t support that narrative.
A bittereh golus.
What happened to the good old chaptzem?!!!
That sure would work.
what could go wrong
Would these items be a deterrent?
Imagine if thousands of Yidden would be seen with the
likes of these: Sano oven cleaner, Easy-off, Gladiator,
Zep, etc.
….and if the can gets wrested from your hands and turned back on you? A face full of Easy-Off oven cleaner is what you are willing to risk? Not me. Any man could grab out of my hand any spray can I would carry, and turn it on me.
A device that makes a very loud noise / siren makes more sense. It would startle the attacker and attract attention to the victim.
As long as Facebook, YouTube,Twitter and the other social media platforms keep allowing and endorsing antisemitism, this will keep getting worse, G-d forbid.
As long as Jews don’t get together to report multiple times, antisemitic posts, (where one post gets reported by at least 6 others) these antisemitic posts will remain to inspire antisemites of all races and religions (including the violent radical atheist religion) to attack and otherwise harm Jews, H-sh-m yachzor.
Okay, yes – if you are vulnerable to having it grabbed from you, then attract attention with a noise-maker. Don’t carry the spray. However, if there is a presence of a large group of tough guys, who are legally armed with something (tough procedure for a gun), even something crude as a spray, then I would like to think that will give would be trouble-makers some second thoughts. You may be thinking, but the trouble-makers can play the same game and also carry these items – A LESSON FROM THE VIETNAM WAR: A veteran, who was in that war, related… Read more »
