Even if Asghar Ali is ‘just’ a nut looking to kill Jews amid a surge in antisemitism, he still terrorized
NY Post
After demented driver Asghar Ali allegedly attempted to mow down Orthodox students and a rabbi outside a Brooklyn yeshiva this week, cops were quick to say that there was no nexus of terror.
But the disturbing caught-on-camera video captured Ali revving his engine and mounting the curb as he tried to run down the Jewish men while screaming, “I’m gonna kill all the Jews” in a terrifying antisemitic attack.
Even if Ali is a lone madman, his act is clearly fueled by the rank antisemitism and anti-Jewish climate splashing into the open at pro-Palestinian protests, online and in the media.
As Mayor Adams recently fumed, New York has “normalized” a horrific hatred toward Jews, as has much of the rest of the world.
NYPD data show antisemitic attacks have soared since Hamas’ Oct. 7 terror attack on Israel — and anti-Jewish hate crimes in the Big Apple nearly doubled in this year’s first quarter.
Just this week, prosecutors indicted Skiboky Stora on hate-crime charges involving what they describe as “anti-female, anti-white and antisemitic attacks” in Chelsea from September to March.
