UPDATE: Anti-Semitic black man stabs 5 Jewish worshippers--now in custody

Monsey, NY -- Thomas Grafton, a 37-year-old black man of Greenwood Lake has been arrested for allegedly storming into the home of Rabbi Chaim Leibush Rottenberg and stabbing five Jewish worshippers with a machete during a Hanukkah celebration.

UPDATE: According to Pamela Geller's Geller Report,  Grafton recently converted to Islam. Personally, I'm not surprised.

Rather than calling the act for what it was, blatant anti-Semitism, Andrew Cuomo, the idiot Governor of New York, referred to it as 'domestic terrorism,' as are most media outlets.  See, the perpetrator wasn't a white supremacist, so it didn't fit the leftist narrative. Had Grafton been white, you can be sure the event would have been properly labeled.

There has been a huge surge in anti-Semitic attacks globally, and this one occured in the small, predominantly Jewish hamlet of Monsey, New York, north of Manhattan at around 10:00 pm Saturday evening, the seventh night of Hanukkah. Sixty people had gathered for the candle-lighting celebration at the rabbi's home.

Witnesses said the suspect wildly swung a large knife known as a machete, and immediately began stabbing five people before he was chased out of the home by worshippers tossing chairs, a coat rack, a table and whatever they could grab to defend themselves.

The Jew-hater then tried to enter the neighboring Congregation Netzach Yisrael-Kosson, evidently to do more damage, before cowardly fleeing in a gray Nissan Sentra which was caught on surveillance video.

NYPD officers arrested the scumbag 30 miles away in Harlem about two hours later. He was covered in blood when they captured him and State troopers brought him back to Rockland County where he faces five counts of attempted murder and one count of burglary.

The Orthodox Jewish Public Affairs Council said the five victims, all Hasidic, were transported to local hospitals with stab wounds, two in critical condition. One man was reportedly stabbed in the chest and another was stabbed in the head. One of the victims is believed to be Rabbi Rottenberg's son.

Recently, there has been an attack in New Jersey at a kosher grocery store where two people, one who was a member of the Black Hebrew Israelite, an anti-Semitic group claiming they are the only real Jews, left six people dead, including the attackers. In addition, earlier this month, there have been six anti-Semitic incidents during the seven nights of Hanukkah starting December 23.

Governor Andrew Cuomo, the slightly less dumber of the Cuomo boxes of rocks, addressed reporters on Sunday morning when branded the Monsey incident an act of domestic terrorism.

Chabad.com reported that the people who were gathered at Rottenberg's home were preparing to leave and make their way to the synagogue when the attacker entered wearing gloves and a scarf that partially hid his face. He brandished the machete and said, "No one is going anywhere," then began his stabbing attack.

Aron Kohn, 65, told former newspaper, The New York Times, that he was inside the house when the stabbings occurred.

'I was praying for my life,' Kohn said. 'He started attacking people right away as soon as he came in the door. We didn't have time to react at all.'

Kohn said he started throwing chairs and tables at the attacker to fend him off.

The witness said when he ran outside the suspect bravely yelled: "Hey you, I'll get you." It's easy to be brave when you're the one with the machete.

Cuomo plans to propose a domestic terrorism law in NY to combat hate crimes because when attackers know that it's against the law to go around killing people or beating the crap out of them, they'll stay home and watch the game instead.

Authorities, those certified cretins your tax money goes to, have not provided a motive for the attack. It's a freaking mystery.
