Suspect accused of stabbing five people at a Rabbi’s home during celebrations for the Jewish festival of Hanukkah in New York appears in court
Members of the Jewish community gather outside the home of rabbi Chaim Rottenbergin Monsey, in New York on December 29, 2019 after a machete attack that took place earlier outside the rabbi's home during the Jewish festival of Hanukkah in Monsey, New York.
"It is domestic terrorism. These are people who intend to create mass harm, mass violence -- generate fear based on race, color, creed," New York Governor Andrew Cuomo told reporters at the scene on Sunday. "Everyone was screaming and panicking and shouting 'out out out.' It was chaos," Joseph Gluck, 30, told reporters.
A report in April from the Anti-Defamation League stated that the number of anti-Semitic attacks in 2018 was close to the record of 2017, with 1,879 incidents. "We will NOT allow this to become the new normal," he wrote. "We'll use every tool we have to stop these attacks once and for all."
