Hanukkah celebrations on both sides of the Atlantic have been marred by anti-Semitic attacks, one on a rabbi's home in New York and another at a London synagogue and surrounding shops.

"I was praying for my life," Mr Kohn, said.

Hanukkah, Hebrew for"dedication", commemorates the 2nd-century BC victory of Judah Maccabee and his followers in a revolt in Judea against armies of the Seleucid Empire and the ensuing restoration of the Jewish temple in Jerusalem.

As per google - There are several popular muslim communities within London, however North London's City of Westminster has an extremely strong Muslim population specifically Edgware and Islington.

Zuckerberg is a Jew, yeah? (And ain't he a little saint.)

One needs to look deeper at the causes of anti-Semitism. A simple look at the left's hatred of Israel and the left's support for the BDS movement are all precursors to this level of hatred. A few right wing nutters are nothing to worry about in comparison with the racist left.

Why do Jews think they deserve their own exclusive term for racism? It's racism, not 'anti-semitism'.

More mass attacks directly linked to the elected voices who demean groups thus encouraging these targeted attacks

I'm old enough to remember when TheirABC Leftards blamed these hate crimes on right-wing white extremists.

History repeating it's self.

'referencing a debunked conspiracy theory implicating Jews in the 9/11 terror attacks.' Yeah, everyone knows it was 'Zionists' who perpetrated 9/11, not Jews.
