I have many things to say to that, but honestly, kids aren't even kosher, and I personally don't really like them anyway. They're not that good (tasting) (obviously I'm joking.)
Do you think this is an appropriate behavior from a fully developed adult? Because to me it sounds like miserable kindergarten insults over actual assault. I don't even want to talk about the woman, because she isn't worth my attention. She was arrested, and according to CBS news:
Police said they arrested 23-year-old Diana Smith in connection to the attack and that she is facing several charges, including hate crime and aggravated harassment.
but I do want to talk about the fact that barely anyone on the subway reacted. According to the 23yo victim who chose to stay anonymous out of fear, only two people briefly stepped in to help her.
"It was shocking that bystanders ... just no one doing anything, and to the point where I was beaten to the ground," the victim said. "People are much stronger as a community."
Not even a year had passed since the horrible attack and murder of Iryna Zarutska, also 23, a Ukrainian refugee, on the light rail train in North Carolina, and she wasn't even Jewish. A quick aside, I wanted to link an article about Iryna Zarutska, but the way the BBC and CNN worded their articles, they almost feel more sorry for the man who stabbed her (a POC) for "ending" HIS life (facing the consequences of first degree murder) but again what can one expect from these sorry excuses of journalism establishments. How can you promise us "never again" and let this behavior slide in public spaces AGAIN? The blood had not dried! Inexcusable and unacceptable. Do better.
But wait, here comes the most concerning part of the article:
"Antisemitism has now moved from just words to actual violence," said Lisa Katz, chief government affairs officer at Combat Antisemitism Movement, an organization combating Jewish hate. "We have tracked 193 incidents of antisemitism in New York City this year through May 31 and that equates to more than one per day."
I wonder how you sleep at night.
Jews of New York, stay safe, I love you
