Man slugs woman in the face on NYC subway, tells her its because you are Jewish: copsNY Post
A hate-filled brute punched a woman in the face in a Manhattan subway station over the weekend and told her he socked her because you are Jewish, according to police.
The stranger walked up and clobbered the 29-year-old woman inside the 42nd Street and Lexington Avenue subway station 7-train passageway around 11:30 p.m. Saturday, cops said.
The shocked victim asked her attacker why he randomly slugged her when she did nothing to provoke him and he reportedly said his reason was you are Jewish and ran off, police said.

Right-wingers are so full of hate! Were they born that way?

There's plenty of antisemitism on the left... circumspice.

They have support from extremists at both ends.
Definitely not liberal Democrat like some Republicans think or pretend to think.

It is possible to be a victim of anti-Semitic hate crime without being Jewish.
All that is necessary is the perpetrator thinks so for whatever reason.
