Would there have been as much media coverage if the victim were white non-Jews? Of course not. That would not be a news story. But if the victims were black non-Jews, then that might have been a story. <\/p>\n
I wonder if all the suspects are black? <\/p>\n
Chaim Amalek: “I’ll tell you what is a hate crime. Publishing a picture like this of a torah Yid followed by a young woman in a miniskirt<\/a> is meant to make us all look bad. In other words, it is a hate crime. Like most goyellas and other shiksas, she smells Torah on a Yid and wants a piece of it. This is why ehrlicher Yidden especially must not so much as walk on the same side of the street as one of these shiksa huntresses.”<\/p>\n NEW YORK (CBSNewYork)<\/a> \u2014 The NYPD is investigating another possible hate crime in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Would there have been as much media coverage if the victim were white non-Jews? Of course not. That would not be a news story.

\nThere have been four attacks against the Orthodox Jewish community in a week \u2014 the most recent came late Monday night.
\nAs CBS2\u2019s Ilana Gold reported, a 65-year-old man was attacked around 11 p.m. across the street from his home near Wilson Street and Wythe Avenue.
\nA teenage boy and girl ran up to him from behind and started punching him in the face and laughing about it, investigators said.
\nOn Tuesday afternoon, CBS2 saw the victim as he limped out of his apartment with cuts and bruises under his eye. He did not want to comment, but his neighbor spoke with CBS2 anonymously.
\nThe neighbor said his son heard the victim screaming for help and then the son ran outside and helped stop the beating. The two young perpetrators fled, the neighbor said.
\nThe neighbor said the victim was \u201call shocked, confused, as expected.\u201d
\nThe incident follows another attack at 1 a.m. Monday, when a 25-year-old Orthodox Jewish man was struck in the head with a glass bottle on Driggs Avenue.
\nWhen asked how the attacks are affecting the community, Rabbi David Niederman of the United Jewish Organization of Williamsburg told Gold: \u201cBasically people start thinking, \u2018Can I allow my child to be out even during the day?\u2019 And even adults, at night it\u2019s scary.\u201d
\nPolice have posted flyers across the neighborhood showing a picture of the lone suspect in the bottle attack and warning everyone to be on high alert.
\n\u201cIt\u2019s also a sign in reminding people that unfortunately you are not safe,\u201d Niederman said.
\nIn another supposed hate crime in Williamsburg, surveillance cameras captured men flinching when someone shot off paintballs right above them at a Jewish grocery store. Five minutes later, a 62-year-old was hit with a yellow paintball a few blocks away.
\nPeople in the community say they\u2019ll be on edge until police catch whoever is responsible.
\nPolice say Monday night\u2019s crime and the glass bottle attack are not linked. The paintball attacks are being investigated as separate incidents as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
