A Jewish man who was outside his apartment building in New York City having a cigarette on the first night of Hanukkah says he was sucker punched, leaving him bruised and bloody.
Joshua Merenfeld said he was attacked from behind, with the person yelling antisemitic slurs at him while clubbing and kicking him.
“He sucker punched me, pushed me over, assaulted me,” Merenfeld told WNYW.
I agree, you should not. And neither should we (EU).
But it was the US which vetoed the UN resolution. It’s the US who sponsors Apartheid in Israel, and we contribute, too.
I fear there will be more 9/11’s, and more attacks in London, Madrid and Paris.
We should be neutral in this conflict and only support humanitarian values.
Sure, but this is most likely not a case of some sort of foreign reprisal against America as a whole, this is a specific attack against a Jewish person, most likely by another American since it happened in the U.S.
Saying “well the U.S. supports Israel” is not an excuse to attack Jews as if they necessarily support Israel as individuals. No more than it is an excuse to attack Muslims as if they were all members of Hamas.
Stop treating non-Christian, sometimes non-White Americans like they’re fucking foreigners. Is that really too much to ask?
The UN has zero power even in an unanimous vote.
No? In the case of a successful vote they can command sanctions and stuff, and depending on the situation send peacekeeper forces.
