Another anti-Semitic incident in the United States: Two African-American women shouted anti-Semitic statements at a 22-year-old ultra-Orthodox young man in the Brooklyn district of New York and then violently attacked him.
The women's cries say: "XXX you, Jew," "We will kill you, Jew." According to eyewitnesses at the scene, the two pushed him to the ground as he tried to document them reading anti-Semitic calls.
Then one of the assailants started yelling at the young man on Broadway, then the other grabbed his cellphone, broke it and threw it to the ground. Fortunately, the attacker suffers only minor injuries after being beaten on a mobile device. Police have not yet confirmed that this is a hate crime.

Meanwhile, on Sunday afternoon, New York City, a protest march is expected to take place against the backdrop of a series of anti-Semitic incidents in the country lately. The event is a product of the New York Federation, in collaboration with the ADL, local AJC and board of rabbis. The march will take place on the Brooklyn Bridge.
"When anti-Semitism strikes in our community, we stand and together. We invite New Yorkers of all backgrounds and outlets to stand with us and say - neither hate nor fear," the invitation wording said.
