A black woman has been arrested by police after leading an anti-Semitic attack on the New York Subway 2 train by in Manhattan.
Her first target was Yosef Gurevitch, a Lubavitcher Chossid from Crown Heights who runs a Judaica store in Great Neck, NY.
“She was calling out anti-Semitic words, Allah Akbar and slurs against Jews such as the reason for the Jersey City shooting was because Jews were money hungry,” Gurevitch said.
The Chossid said he didn’t respond to her, and other subway riders remained silent too, “because she looked to me drunk or stoned.”
At the next stop by TriBeCa, 2 young Israeli women boarded the train and headed over to the only empty seats – near the verbally abusive woman.
The woman refused to allow the Israelis to sit down on the busy train. Lihi Aharon, one of the Israelis, then saw how the woman renewed her verbal attacks on the chossid.
According to a report, the angry woman began reciting Islamic prayers and yelling horrid things like “it’s good they killed Jews in New Jersey, they should have killed all of you.”
Aharon began filming the incident which caught the women’s attention. Things quickly escalated and the woman got up and smacked the phone out of Aharon’s hands and began grabbing and striking at her face.
Aharon fought back and knocked the woman down, refusing to be physically beaten, according to a report. The woman lunged herself back at Lihi and the fight continued until they both found each other outside of the train as the doors opened.
“No one did anything. No words. No Actions. Just dozens of people watching as if they were the audience of a TV show,” said Jewish activist Rudy Rochman, who publicized the incident.
Aharon was left bloodied on her face. The woman was arrested and as the Police were taking statements, she continued with insults and profanities, witnesses reported.
Bring back stop-and-frisk. There is black crime everywhere that is unique to NYC–I witnessed it on others and was attacked myself because the teenagers said I am “white” (I don’t dress Jewish). Broken windows policies or the City returns to Dinkins-period.
How would stop and frisk stop a stoned/drunk woman from saying horrible things? Instead of calling for police tactics that encourage racial profiling making innocent black men feel unsafe, how about we encourage more connection between the communities?
Feel sorry for the Israeli woman, feel pity for all who was silent there.
Feel unsafe in our peaceful & beautiful country. We can’t be silent. New York is for all people to live together no religious,race or other differences.
A jcm photo op with cumo to make a stand against hate and declare that it has no place here
I don’t know who you are but it’s a pleasure and privilege to hear of a Jewish woman who does not stand by when a fellow Jew is harassed and defends herself properly. Being timid and discreet has not been working out well for us. That crazy woman will not be attacking anyone for a looong time. Shame on the cowardly silent riders, hope no one comes to their defense when their turn comes. And the way NYC society is degenerating, it will.
How crazy NYC has become?? What is going on? She is a coward if that would have happened to me will be agonizing on the floor. And look into the video, the lady next to her seems to smile, we need to defend ourselves!! These blacks hate us and we can’t be their target forever
My family and I were told curse word Jews and when we told a police we were told so move away from him like whats your problem.
When we asked another police he said you can’t do anything.
Only Jews really care about defending Jews.
Aisov hates Yaakov.
Not true I am not Jewish, though my name is David and I am pro Israel and pro Jew. I despise anti antisemitism.
But there aren’t enough non Jews, like you.
Not nearly enough, not by a long shot.
You are one of the Many righteous people left in this world
Remember the police were the first ones to legally round us up in every generation. It’s a matter of time. Years ago we had a guy putting up anti semetic signs all over the neighborhood and even in front of my house! When we called the police they said there was nothing that they could do since it’s freedom of speech and none of the signs were directly on our property. I’ve called the police atleast 3 times in my life regarding anti semetic incidents and each time they literally did nothing, not even show up. So no, I don’t… Read more »
Governer Cuomo has not made it easier – a person can get a licence without
a social security – any immigrant.

The way she’s dressed (tie) it looks like she has a City job.
Wouldn’t be at all surprised based on the quality of many of the people the City hires these days. She may even be in the security or law enforcement field. This should be pursued to see that she gets punished to the fullest extent of the law and is made to pay damages out of her hefty (taxpayer funded) pension and ‘benefits’.
You are a beautiful, caring and courageous Jew. Hope you quickly get over this unpleasant experience.
Very sad that all our big machers in crown heights and Williamsburg sold out their nashomah for the mayor and governor for koved it’s a shame as these two places we are hefker for the goim to do this every day and all the marchers only want to show on TV cuddling up with the mayor shame on them לא תעמוד על דם רעך
1) The fact that there have not been regular elections in Crown Heights confirms that there are no leaders
2) There are no male leaders because of the fear of the a few rich whose interest is their own, and whose influence is substantial, similar to Communist Russia.
3) Why aren’t there peace officers on every train, security cameras on every corner? Why don’t we hire more cops before building more housing for homeless and dumping the mentally ill on the streets.

Every time this happens I try to imagine what I would have answered. Certainly as a bystander I would also find something to say. But you know what? I would not know what to say! Such hatred, leaves you blank. Anyone who wants to teach us jews how to answer back to that type of hate talk? Please speak now!
Sadly, a few months ago, me and a friend were chatting on a bench on Eastern Parkway. This big black man and his white trash GF walks up to us and starts utterly cursing at us loudly, spitting on the floor of few times. He just kept on going for a good minute while his GF did nothing but find it amusing. We’re both guys but very non-violent type and we couldn’t say anything but remain silent and stare angrily at him. you freeze in shock that this is actually happening! Eventually he walked away.. But I was disgusted by… Read more »
Lihi, I cannot get over your bravery. You are truly a strong Jew. May Hashem protect you always.
lehavdil – Yemach shemam to all these people who have nothing better to do with their lives…
We need Moshiach now!
Of course the mainstream media would try to hide it but maybe Fox News.
Doesnt help
Much for solving it here ..
This antisemetic Negress should be prosecuted to the fullest event possible.
Every 18 year old frum yid must register to vote. And replace all these lefty radical democrats. We should print stickers reading,”Save world dump democRATs.
I agree that an army of voters can make the difference. But the individual Yid, be they Democrat or Republican, must register as a democrat to vote in the local less participated democratic primary. Said voter can then vote Republican in the primary. Many times, local elections are decided in the democratic primary by 1000 to 3000 votes. Local districts are at least 85% democrat, and local general elections, not local primary often see Dems out voting Republicans by 20 to 30 thousand. So, you must wear the enemy’s clothes into battle.
