Krav Maga Classes
November 14, 2018 8:40 pm

Krav Maga classes need to start being offered for men and women in our communities. Bzh we never need to utilize such skills, but we should be prepared. These stories are becoming all too common.

Every jew a 22!!

To all saying fight back. Your all right but then again it was a 10-4 ratio like the boys didn’t really stand a chance

Fight Back
November 13, 2018 11:45 am

People are hesitant to fight back because they will be arrested for doing so (in our crown heights anyway). But it is far better to be arrested than to hand over your life and welfare to a thug. When the world sees we mean business and will not tolerate anymore of this bullying, they will leave us alone.

Would you say the same thing to the Maccabees? Would you say the same thing to the IDF? If what you say is true witch it’s not then there wouldn’t be any more Jews or Judaism because we wouldn’t defend ourselves & we would be wiped out

No offense but that is the most foolesh way of thinking. So your saying that when someone is attacking a Jew the Jew should just lay down & get beat up? Oh g-d forbid you defend yourself chas vishalom you defend ourselves. Absolutely foolish & completely ignorant. So your saying Jews should just be victims like always I’m saying the exact opposite enough is enough we’ve been victims throughout history it’s time to stop this nonsense & fight back! End of story

Guns are not always possible
November 13, 2018 9:52 am

In most societies including unfortunatly israel getting a legal gun is very difficult. What is useful is a good attack dog. You need one on every block almost like a Shmira group. Dogs can run quicker than people and catch criminals. One dog will chase away a whole gang. And it’s legal. You need a special K9 Shmira or shomrim unit.

My brother was one of the boys attacked.
November 13, 2018 9:33 am

They stood up to people who hurt them. Very proud of him

November 13, 2018 9:26 am

I said it once before you have to get 4 or 5 people who know karate martial arts that are extremely good in defending themselves just like Shmira there should be hanging around the hood late and have people come up to them Looking for problems and give them a beating once and for all they will learn the lessons.PS I would do it but I’m too old and too fat

You are SO VERY WRONG! Our son was one of those bochurim. Jews MUST NEVER be afraid of anyone. The ultimate Kiddush HASHEM. We are so proud that they did fight back and stand up to horrible people who think we should not exist. NEVER BE AFRAID of the goyim!

Alleged hate crime?
November 13, 2018 7:15 am

Really? Is the media still pretending that it’s always a coincidence that jews are constantly being victimized? News gets around that jews are the perfect target because we don’t defend ourselves and are too ‘polite’ to make riots and protest that what’s happening is a 1000% not ok! We need to start walking around with weapons and the physical skills to stick up for ourselves and all jews worldwide.

catch them...
November 13, 2018 6:35 am

AND PUT THEM IN JAIL!!!

One really important thing
November 13, 2018 6:15 am

Some of the boys knew crav maga- a skill they probably assumed they’d never have to actually use to defend themselves with- but I’m sure this helped th to feel less vulnerable- especially considering that they did use it

Are you Jewish ?
November 13, 2018 5:53 am

Comment number 6, you ask why Jews don’t fight back, if Jews did then it wouldn’t be sanctifying G-d which is for the purpose we are put on this earth. Let me explain. If people Jews would fight back it will only make things worse , cause more assualtts and to the world make Jews look bad

to #6, from the mother of one of the talmidim
November 13, 2018 5:51 am

Please don’t make false assumptions and play Monday morning quarterback without knowing the facts. FYI, it was because two of the talmidim have some training in krav maga (my son) and mixed martial arts (another of the students) that the outcome was not far, far worse than it was. It is nothing short of a miracle that this far outnumbered group of yeshiva boys was really “only” roughed up. And the thug kid who remains in police custody, the leader of the pack, so-to-speak, WAS given a serious (but not life-threatening) blow, eventually, after the talmid had practiced self-protective moves… Read more »

The reason one was caught was because one of the bochurim was able to defend himself and cause harm to the attacker. All jews need to be able yo defend themselves!

I love that one says “pashut”

Please start fighting back
November 13, 2018 12:06 am

Punch, Kick, Poke Eyeballs, Slap, Scratch, Push, Pull. Doesn’t matter as long as you do something to fight back don’t just sit there & take a beating. We need to fight back self defense is a g-d givin right. Please my brothers & sister’s for g-d sake fight back. Everyone should learn how to defend themselves but Even if you don’t know how to fight I promise you that you have it in you. You need to fight back

Thank you number 2
November 13, 2018 12:00 am

We have our OWN monetary resources to add more protection to our neighborhoods. Government grants and Aid is great to apply and see what happens. In the meanwhile have to take ownership and responsibility and NOT rely depend or even expect that ALL security matters are solely from the police grants etc. The same way if your child needs to see a Dr urgent and there’s a problem with her insurance at the time. No one should rely completely on that to help her but would pay put of pocket until the matter was resolved and whatever the insurance doesn’t… Read more »

Dear Jews why don’t you all learn how to defend yourselves. Why don’t you ever learn your lessons. Jews are constantly getting attacked why don’t they ever fight back it’s enough it’s time to start fighting back stop being victims start fighting back learn self-defense. Krav maga was created for this very reason to protect Jews from being victims. A man named Imi lichtenfeld created Krav Maga so that Jews can stand up for themselves & defend themselves time to start learning self defense time to start fighting back please fight back

proud jews
November 12, 2018 11:46 pm

it would show much more pride if these vermin were beaten down.

huh?

they caught one suspect and they cannot get all the info they need from him? what a shame!!!

Proud Jew
November 12, 2018 11:09 pm

The boys made very respectful, intelligent comments. So proud of them for the kiddush Hashem.

Laughable....
November 12, 2018 10:44 pm

Watch. Nothing is going to come out of the “investigation” long term. The might “find”, or even “arrest” a few more of the villains involved, however, it will be done as a “dog and pony show” on behalf of the mounties, to make the Jews of Canada feel as if the government is actually paying attention to them. Whenever you hear; “Our security team is in constant communications with our law enforcement partners”, it’s double-talk for; “we are pathetically emasculated to the point at which we are now COMPLETELY dependant on un-interested, government law enforcement personnel for protection of our… Read more »
