    A 53 year old Chasidic man was waiting on the southbound platform at the J-M-Z Marcy Avenue station at approximately 3:55 PM yesterday afternoon, when a verbal dispute erupted between the men and a group of three teens.

    The argument escalated into a physical assault when the victim was struck by one teen several times with an umbrella and punched by another.

    Several anti-Semitic statements were reportedly made during the incident with one teen reportedly saying “Why are you looking at me, you dirty Jew?”

    The victim complained of neck and back pain but his injuries were classified as not serious by the NYPD.

    The suspects are described as being male, African-American, of average height and weight.

    The incident is being investigated by the NYPD’s Hate Crimes Task Force.

    The Satmars in Williamsburg don’t believe in the self-defence of Zionism.

    Stupid, malacious or hate crime?

    The perpetrators of this vicious hate crime, are nothing but savages from the jungle. If it was the other way around, there would be mass protests, including the involvement of our dear “friend”, the Rev. Al Sharpton. Yet, when Blacks attack Jews, the silence from the politicians is deafening.
