 My view on a statement like Rav Miller's is that whatever happens we are supposed to take a lesson out of it. When a tragedy happens and we say it may have been because of this that or the other thing it is simply to take a lesson from it for personal improvement. It is not to lay fault.

This isn't a violent attack, but it's the same stuff the guys who actually do use violence say as they are attacking.

For those who don't know what is in the picture, most Chabad funeral processions in NY pass 770 before heading to the cemetery. Women stand on one side of the service lane on the sidewalk, men on the other, also on the sidewalk.

This doesn't belong in this thread. Very different than the rest

Explain? A mob surrounding an individual while chanting about killing all Jews seems pretty appropriate.

He walked into a Palestinian rally wearing that shirt. Vastly different than someone being attacked while minding their own business.

If anything, the fact that he wasn't physically lynched might show that it's not "open season on Jews".

Presumably they did the rally in a popular area, and you can't tell if he walked over to them or was just passing by. Regardless, publicly calling for death to all Jews ("from the river to the sea") is a special privilege Jews get to receive. And no, I don't give them credit for not ripping his head off.

Based on his shirt, there's no way he was just passing by.

Not saying it's not anti-semitism, but it's much different than "open season on jews" IMO. I understood this thread to be about random attacks on innocent people; not a general anti-semitism thread.

If a protest was held near Times Square, you’d think only a provocateur would possibly be wearing an Israeli flag T-shirt? Or perhaps out of dozens of Jews walking by only one was identifiably Jewish and therefore targeted?

His shirt isn't a regular Israeli flag/Magen David shirt...that's why I don't think he was an innocent bystander

What’s the significance of the skull? Looks like it’s for fashion purposes.

It's not fashion. The Punisher skull has become controversial over the past couple years because it's been co-opted for political reasons, even so much that Marvel changed his (the Punisher's) logo.

Wasn’t aware of the co-opting but it doesn’t look like the Punisher skull to me

I am sure the reason this dude won the award in the first place was solely because of the quality of his work and nothing to do with his race/religion
