NYPD: Jewish man stabbed in Manhattan by attacker yelling ‘Allahu Akbar’

NEW YORK – An assailant on Thursday stabbed two victims, one of whom was visibly Jewish, in an area of Manhattan’s Upper West Side known for its Jewish institutions.

Police said two male victims, aged 57 and 50, were in stable condition and being treated for stab wounds to the torso. One was Jewish and one was Asian, police said.

New York Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch announced Thursday evening that the force had arrested 51-year-old Raul Morales in connection with both assaults and that he had yelled “Allahu Akbar” during both attacks**,** according to multiple witnesses and a victim.

“The NYPD is currently evaluating whether this is a potential hate crime,” Tisch said, noting, “Detectives are continuing to work the case and determine motive.” No other assailants are being sought.

If you don't know the background of the New York Times. It's been owned by more than a century by an antisemitic family who promoted Nazi Germany during the 1930s and then tried to bury news of the holocaust while it was happening.

"Buried by the Times: The Holo­caust and Amer­i­ca’s Most Impor­tant Newspaper

Lau­rel Leff, the author of this sad and sober­ing account of a major and delib­er­ate effort by The New York Times to with­hold news of Hitler’s destruc­tion of Euro­pean Jew­ry, has pre­sent­ed a com­pelling exposé. Accord­ing to Leff, The Times was guilty not only of obfus­ca­tion, but of main­tain­ing a Berlin bureau of cor­re­spon­dents which clear­ly offered an unapolo­getic defense of Nazism. Any news con­cern­ing Jews was deemed to be un-news­wor­thy, so much so, that the hor­rors in Europe actu­al­ly were cov­ered by The Times, such infor­ma­tion was buried in obscure places in the newspaper. 

How much a vig­i­lant and con­cert­ed effort to com­mu­ni­cate the events of the Nazi ter­ror and plight of Euro­pean Jew­ry to the Amer­i­can read­ing pub­lic might have saved some of the vic­tims, is beyond our pow­ers of imag­i­na­tion. What we do know with a degree of cer­tain­ty is that The Times had no incli­na­tion to present the deba­cle of Jew­ish victimization. 

The Ochs – Sulzberg­ers, own­ers of the paper and titans in the world of news­pa­per pub­lish­ing, had their own overt and clear­ly enun­ci­at­ed pur­pose in declin­ing appro­pri­ate cov­er­age of the unfold­ing events: ​“It would be dis­as­trous to ask Amer­i­cans to fight a Jew­ish war.” The Ochs – Sulzberg­ers felt no duty to present accounts of Jew­ish suf­fer­ing mere­ly because they them­selves were Jew­ish. Theodore Bern­stein, a cable edi­tor for The Times, con­sid­ered his own Jew­ish ori­gins a bur­den he had to bear. Arthur Hays Sulzberg­er, pub­lish­er of The Times from 1935 – 1961, main­tained a strong dis­dain for Israel, and was vehe­ment­ly anti-Zion­ist, and a thor­ough assim­i­la­tion­ist. After Israel, became a state, Sulzberg­er wrote, ​‘I feel no clos­er to the state of Israel than I do to Britain or Chi­na.” At one point, Win­ston Churchill addressed him stat­ing, ​“I know you are not a Zion­ist, but I am.”"
