JERUSALEM (VINnews) — An Israeli man living in San Antonio arrived this past Sunday at the local synagogue “Rodfei Shalom,” which is regularly attended by hundreds of worshippers. As congregants were leaving and crossing the crosswalk outside the synagogue, two men in a car shouted at them: “Filthy Jews, go back to where you came from. You’re disgusting,” according to a report by the Israeli news site Mako.

In response, the Israeli man’s friend cursed back at the driver. The driver then exited the vehicle in a rage and quickly approached the two men.
“He had a face full of hatred, like a murderer,” one of them told Mako. “We immediately noticed he was holding a knife.”
The friend, described as a physically strong man who works out regularly, engaged in a physical confrontation with the attacker.
“Within seconds, a fight broke out between them. It was terrifying. He managed to neutralize the attacker with a powerful punch to the face that knocked him to the ground. Then he kicked the knife out of his hand.”
Police were called to the scene, and investigators collected surveillance footage and were able to identify the attacker’s vehicle. Both victims gave statements to the police, and the FBI is also involved in the investigation alongside local authorities.
“It didn’t surprise us that something like this happened,” one of the men said. “We’ve lived here for several years, but recently there’s been a sharp rise in antisemitism. If it’s happening even here in San Antonio, that says everything. Just last week, another congregant reported being shouted at as he left the synagogue.”
In response to the growing hostility, Israeli residents in the area have begun arming themselves.
“I told all my friends here—even those who don’t go to synagogue—we simply need to have guns to protect ourselves. There’s no other choice. This incident could’ve ended in a stabbing death. This time, it ended in a miracle.”
The above incident reminds me of a similar incident, which occurred in the Flatbush area of Brooklyn, a number of years ago. A relative of mine told me that as he was leaving Shul on Shabbos, with two other individuals, a car came buy, and the driver started cursing at them, shouting the most vile names at them. However, what the driver of that car didn’t realize was that one of the individuals in the group,was a former Israeli paratrooper. He ran after the car, and when it stopped, he yanked the driver out, beat the hell out of him, and left him lying in the street. This is the only thing that those animals understand. Next time, they will think twice about harassing Jews.
This being Texas I’m surprised the mook wasn’t shot by one of the other members of the shul. I always carry concealed. Anyone comes after me or a member of the shul with a knife, he’s a dead man.
Kahane will always be right.
Jews, like the US population at large, like to pretend that we’re not at war with Islam. This requires either profound ignorance of history or exquisite blindness to current affairs, considering that so many parts of the world that were formerly home to Jews and Christians – I needn’t recount them for this audience – are now “Yudenrein” and ruled by Shariya law. Jews can no longer indulge this pretense and continue trying to prevail by professing “Robert’s Rules”. As the Talmud states, “Habah l’hargecha hashkem l’hargo” – “He who comes to kill you, get up early to kill him” (Tractate Sanhedrin, section 72a.) Jews today must be prepared to confront violence at any moment and by all necessary means. It sounds like the wild west but, ever since our north African Muslim POTUS, brought more than 100,000 of his Jew-hating compatriots (39,000 in 2016 alone) into the US to disseminate their hatred to the rest of the population, this is the present state of affairs.
every jew with a 22
Jews are responsible for our own defense and security. Law enforcement and paid guards are nice but every Shul should have trained volunteers and armed members at every event.
It is time that the JDL becomes active. HaRav HaTzaddik Meir Kahane Z’TL was spot on in his assessment. The Jewish community thought he was a radical. All that he said is comming to fruition as a result of the left wing socialist, communist demorats. I do not walk out of my house without my ccw.
Skoyach to those of you who own guns…
But I’ll be you don’t train enough.
Dryfire at home, and timed drills at the range.
If you don’t train, you won’t be up to the task when the day comes.
The only solution is to fight back. NY police should give Jews permits to carry weapon asap. Tish must help.
