AAGHarmeetDhillon @AAGDhillon - Horrific! Yet another hate crime to investigate and prosecute!
Quote
Yaacov Behrman @ChabadLubavitch
A Jewish person was stabbed in Crown Heights tonight in an unprovoked attack. The attacker allegedly said “F these Jews” and stated that it would be okay if the Holocaust happened today. 
This was an antisemitic attack. 
The victim is at Kings County Hospital and is expected to recover.
Hateful rhetoric always leads to violence. After losing friends in Australia on Sunday, it is painfully clear that the world is once again dangerous for Jews.
Please speak up before it is too late.

AAGHarmeetDhillon @AAGDhillon - Video: I am reputed to “sue the ass off” of antisemitic activists in our country, doing a lot of it according to POTUS (true!). Special mention of Harvard by the boss.
