A young Jewish man was stabbed early Saturday morning near the Chabad movement’s headquarters in New York City by a man yelling “Free Palestine,” according to a local rabbi who said he knows the victim, as well as CCTV footage of the incident published online.

Yaacov Behrman tweeted that during Shabbat, the young male attacker asked the man: “Do you want to die?” He then stabbed him.

The victim was taken to the hospital and is expected to make a full recovery, Behrman said.

[They] don't feel unsafe in other countries like the previous generations were given reason to.

While that may be true in some places, it's not true everywhere:

In Wake Of Increasing Anti-Semitic Attacks, More Jews Flee France (2016, and it has only increased since)

2,600 people have moved to Israel since Hamas invaded. New arrivals cite incidents of being spat on, bullied, and general rise in antisemitism

I wouldn't call 2600 people out of over 15 million especially significant.

Really? Over 2 1/2 months? In the middle of a war?

It's been over 250k in the past decade, although I don't have any information on how much of that has been due to antisemitism.

I'm just saying this is not mass migration we're talking about in terms of the population as a whole. I think we will continue to see population parity between the entire Jewish population in Israel and New York City for quite some time. In fact, New York City's Jewish population is slightly higher. 7.5 million vs. 7.2 million for all of Israel.

I only meant to draw your attention to the fact that antisemitism is driving a growing portion of Jewish migration (largely to Israel). France, for example, has seen 7% of the Jews leave in the past decade alone (over 15% since 1990 - from 530k-446k).

This is not a trend seen in other groups in France - just Jews.

Sure, I won't argue that. I think we're making two different points, to be honest.

[–] gedaliyah@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

I don't disagree with you at all. Just adding some context about how seriously antisemitism is impacting Jews in the West.
