The man arrested for wildly disrupting a Sabbath service at a Midtown synagogue while assaulting two people told cops after he was apprehended, “F–k the Jews,” according to police.

Police have filed hate crime charges against Larry Montes, 46, who attacked a congregant and a security guard as he went berserk and charged down the aisle at Central Synagogue, disrupting the sanctity of a peaceful Sabbath service, officials said Saturday.

“Do you know who I am?” Montes ranted as he punched a 63-year-old woman and headbutted a 65-year-old security guard as he was being escorted out of the house of worship at Lexington Ave. at E. 55th St. Friday evening.

“Nobody here is real!” he screamed, witnesses told police.

Friday’s blow-up is the latest attack targeting Jews to hit the city, which has seen an 8% jump in antisemitic crimes this year, police said.

Gosh, what a brave, brave warrior for leftism, mohamheadism, or whatever flavor of trannyism motivates him.

No.

But, sadly, he talks like a lot of the people who post on Free Republic these days.

Why is it that perps who assault Christians and Jews are always mentally disturbed and not responsible for their actions, but a comment against an islamic terrorist is racist?

Sometimes, one has to ask “Where does this ever so deep well of hatred for Jews even come from? It’s discouraging to think there is a huge amount of latent anti Jew sentiment existing all the time, only just barely concealed from the public.

I can only presume much of it has to do with being envious of people who have succeeded in business and are therefore, well off materially. That’s the American Way, right? It’s called Meritocracy meets Capitalism, not entirely a new concept.
Many American black groups suffer with the same self limiting mindset. Blaming others for one’s lack of material success. Get over it.

I think those sentiments do exist; periodically they push out into the open, disguised by hair-splitting political rationalization. We've been seeing it here a lot recently.

The Holocaust drove those ideas underground. But as the memories of what happened in that era fade, those ideas are surfacing again. This is a sad situation.

This is one of the greatest tragedies of what our public education system has become. If you don’t know history, you’re in danger of repeating it.

If you had told me in the 1960s or ‘70s - even later into the 21st century - that we’d be seeing some of the things we’re witnessing now, I wouldn’t have believed you.

The hatred comes ultimately from the depths of hell. Judaism is the first successful monotheistic religion. One God, not many like the Greeks, Romans, Hindus etc believed. The devil is eternally furious at the one God. Christians also believe in one God, but in three Persons.
The devil hates Christ too, with an eternal fury.
Mohammed is another instrument of his used to persecute Christians.

“F—k the Jews”

Maybe they aren’t into that.

I have a brother in law who, as long as I have known him (45+ years) has always blamed Jews for all of the world’s problems. He is definitely a mental case, and I mean that literally. Currently he is in a medical facility after ruining his body with cigarettes, drugs, and booze for over 50 years.

I sincerely hope that before he leaves this planet for good that he takes responsibility for his actions and stops blaming others.

They’ll release a photo of the perp as soon as they can find a MAGA hat for him to wear.

The left cultivates an army of useful idiots, then when their army acts as planned, the left says it was a mentally ill lone wolf.

Why? Because commie trash like DonLemon demonstrated that attacking a religious service and its attendants is OK, even a good thing.

At the worst, you get on WWW and your name is spewed around — which is what losers need.

When I heard that he was screaming "Do you know who I am?" I thought John Kerry was visiting the synagouge and got pissed that they didn't have a reserved section for him.

“”Sometimes, one has to ask “Where does this ever so deep well of hatred for Jews even come from?””

***

If you’re a Christian, you know exactly where it comes from. From Satan himself. It’s demonic-inspired hatred as the Jew-haters are also God-haters and Jesus-haters. It’s to get back at God... because God chose the nation of Israel from which to bring forth his ‘savior to mankind’ son, thus thwarting Satan. It’s not complex.
