Two brothers, aged 19 and 23, wearing prayer shawls and kipot were walking home on Yom Kippur afternoon from the Flatbush Park Jewish Center in Brooklyn when there were attacked by three men yelling anti-Semitic slurs, it was reported by American media.
The brothers, Dani and Eli Zainback, were set upon by three men in their twenties who called the fasting siblings taking a break between Orthodox prayer services, “F---ing Jews,” according to the New York Daily News. The older of the brothers, Eli, replied, “It’s our holiday” and then touched one of the assailants, who punched him in the face. The scuffle ended when the trio of attackers fled the scene.
Eli ended with bruised ribs and laceration in his mouth, and Dani had a swollen eye and cut lip. …

Was it a hate crime? Only if the Jews attack the assailants?
Colors? Nationalities? Accents? Come on! There has to be some kind of description. The assailants were not shy about hitting you, so you don’t be shy in helping identify them.
My tag line disappeared???
Damned Amish...
This will not be considered a hate crime because it was ONLY JEWS that were attacked.
What a country we have become.
.
ISIS would definitely cheer on the Jew-bashing attackers. After all, that’s how ISIS turned the Syrians against Assad. They were willing to kill Jews while he defended them.
NYDN says what colors their shirts were - so I assume the attackers were not white.
Sorry, NYDN says they were white, so they are probably hispanics or muslims. /half sarc
“Colors? Nationalities? Accents? Come on! There has to be some kind of description. The assailants were not shy about hitting you, so you don’t be shy in helping identify them.”
Agree with your sentiments, but I think they’re very willing to identify them; just the press is more than unwilling to give it any ink.
...The attackers are in their 20s, sources said. One wore a white T-shirt, the second a pink T-shirt, and the third a Pink Floyd T-shirt...
Why ISIS won hearts and minds
To understand why Islamics adore ISIS you first need to understand their best propaganda tool — Bashar Assad: he’s a ‘Jew lover’, and that is the kind of propaganda ISIS uses to brand their muslim rivals. [*b*]
Sure, he sent terrorists and paramilitaries into Lebanon. And yes, he worked with Iran to form the Quds force. But here’s the thing: Assad hates infidel governments. But if someone is under his protection, he doesn’t give a flying fig what your religion is — Assad actively defended Syrian Jews and Syrian Christians alike.
And that ticked off Syria’s muslim population. They kept rebelling and protesting and illegally attacking the Jews anyway. Syria used to boast a sizeable Jewish population which steadily dwindled, but after Hillary armed up ISIS it escalated beyond repair. So Jewish and Christian blood is on her hands and Obama’s hands. [As well as Qatar and the Saudis who helped fund ISIS as well as bribe the Clintons.]
We now have 75,000 Syrian Jews in the US alone, but by 2015 ISIS had driven out all but 18 Jews. [*c*]

‘... Pink Floyd T-shirt ...’
Nooo ...!
Not a Pink Floyd fan!
If Muslims aren’t involved I wouldn’t be surprised if it has to do with some poofters being upset because of the Mayer Hersovic case and taking it out on the innocent.
No race mentioned in article. Code for black assailants? Either way, too bad they couldn’t have had the baseball bat massage treatment for their hateful violence against these 2 boys.
It would have been a hate crime if the Jews fought back and injured their attackers.
