'Go back to Auschwitz'; Rabbinical student assaulted in Florida
Arutz Sheva ^ | 11/26 | Cynthia Blank

Assailant reportedly shouted 'Hitler was right' at 19-year-old rabbinical student before beating him in middle of Boca Raton street.

A 19-year-old rabbinical student was verbally and physically assaulted in Boca Raton, Florida last Saturday, according to reports Wednesday.

WPTV Channel 5 said the student was walking on 2nd Street when the assailant, riding a blue mountain bike, shouted at him that "Jews should go back to Auschwitz. Hitler was right."

The young man, who is studying for his rabbinic ordination at the Boca Raton Chabad center, allegedly then replied: "Why don’t you come back here and say that?”

The cyclist rode back up to the rabbinical student, repeated the anti-Semitic remark, and then began to strike the young Jewish man, who hit his head on the pavement before his assailant fled.

The unnamed victim told Channel 5 that he was still shaken by the incident.

“I’m doing better,” he said. “It was just a little bit nerve-wracking having someone scream at me these things.”

Chabad’s Rabbi Ruvi New called such harassment unusual for the town, and said the Jewish community was "in disbelief. Shock. Could this really happen in Boca Raton?”

Thank goodness the victim wasn't Black or we'd be hearing about the hate crime for weeks and worrying about the coming riot.

You also have Stormfront up in Wellington. I sold guns in Palm Beach County. It had more than its share of neo-nazis.

That’s a quite a ride on a mountain bike.
(I lived in Palm Beach country for a long time too and I know the county is not perfect )

Boca Raton has the most miserable people in the country! And it has a huge mosque/Islamic center. It was at the center a leader of the Palisum said “we will conquer American Jews”. No one spoke... up NO ONE! Not the sleazy RAT congressman or DWS or the slimey RAT from Broward county....

The folks of Boca can either speak up and fight back or crawl off in the corner....my bet is the latter.

They will ignore it here as well. The media defends gays when it is useful as a tool to tear down conservatives and christians. So unless the crime can be directly connected to a conservative or white or christian, it will be a page 6 item.

Just great. I have a friend who has a business in Boca Raton. At one time, I hoped to go to work for him.
