[PJMedia] In our post-Oct. 7 world, one in which the New York Times can note in astonishment that some Israelis still view themselves as victims of the worst single-day massacre of Jews since the Holocaust, a story about a Jew being chased through the streets of a major Western city is unfortunately not that surprising.
I've already written about a couple of cases this year. A man who noticed a couple in Santa Monica, Calif., wearing Jewish stars while he was driving threatened to kill them, yelling: “You’re a Zionist, motherf***ing pedophile, motherf***ing Jew. Child killer!” It didn't end there. He got out of his vehicle and sicced his Italian mastiff on the Jews, one of whom was bitten.
PJ Media's Matt Margolis wrote last month, "New Yorkers elected a blatantly antisemitic mayor, and they are getting exactly the city that comes with that choice." Attacks against Jews are surging this year, and in the very same week that Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez traveled to New York City and met with his socialist comrade, Mamdani, there have been two very disturbing incidents targeting Jews on NYC streets.
Early Wednesday morning, a man wielding what appears to be a knife chased an identifiably Jewish yeshiva student down a Crown Heights residential street after threatening him and throwing trash cans in his direction. Security footage posted by Crown Heights Shmira Patrol (CHSP) shows the student reaching the safety of his doorway before the assailant, who can be heard shouting, "Now I know where you live" and "Heil f***ing Hitler!," is able to physically assault him. He did, however, allegedly slash the tires of bicycles on the property, according to a COLlive report. NYPD officers eventually arrested the suspect after he had managed to escape from them by jumping over fences.

In another incident on Wednesday, a rabbi was not fortunate enough to avoid physical assault, this time in Boro Park, which, like Crown Heights, has a large Hasidic population. The Boro Park Shomrim neighborhood watch group released video of a man beating the rabbi with his fists. The man was later arrested.
The NYPD said the suspect had approached the 24-year-old victim and began cursing and threatening him.
When the victim ran away, the suspect chased him and continued to threaten him with the knife and was later arrested, the NYPD said. Police identified the suspect as Devin Best, 48, from the Bronx. He was charged with aggravated harassment as a hate crime and menacing and the NYPD’s Hate Crimes Task Force was investigating.
The incident took place during the pre-dawn hours of Wednesday morning.
Separately, the Boro Park Shomrim neighborhood watch group released video showing a suspect beating a Jewish man with his fists. The victim was a rabbi, Boro Park Shomrim said. Police said the attack took place on Wednesday night and identified the victim as a 66-year-old man who was taken to Maimonides Medical Center in stable condition.
The assailant approached the victim and “began striking him with a closed fist in the face and about the body,” and was arrested, police said.

James Copenhaver, of Coraopolis, Pennsylvania, who was wounded in a failed assassination attempt on President Donald Trump in 2024, has died, according to several reports.
Copenhaver, in his mid-70s, was one of several people who attempted assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks shot at the Butler Farm Show complex outside Butler, Pennsylvania, after Crooks scaled the roof of a nearby glass manufacturing building and took aim at the then-presidential candidate.
A statement from the Copenhaver family provided to Fox News Digital confirmed his death Thursday afternoon, and noted the veteran's "dedication to this great country."
"It is with profound sadness that the Copenhaver family confirms that James Copenhaver passed away on September 23, 2026, surrounded by his loved ones," the statement said.
"Above all else, James was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather. James shared a lifetime of commitment to his wife, instilled the values of hard work, integrity, and the service of others in his children, and found some of his greatest joy in life in his grandchildren. His family was the center of his world, and he was the center of theirs.

Sad to see any innocent attendee shot and/or die.
At least that POS Crooks preceded him.
BTW: I still have serious doubts that Crooks acted alone and did not have sponsors. Given all the claimed $$$$$ various sources found stash in accounts.

[Regnum] Pakistani forces carried out airstrikes on 10 drone launch and storage sites in Afghanistan, according to the country's Information Minister Ataullah Tarar.
Pakistani authorities accused Afghanistan of violating the country's sovereignty by launching drones from Afghan territory on September 23.
"Pakistan carried out precision airstrikes and UAV strikes on 10 locations in Afghanistan used to launch and store these drones," Tarar wrote on social media.
Tolonews previously reported that Pakistan launched an attack on the city of Kandahar in southern Afghanistan. Afghan authorities stated that the strike hit a deserted area of the city and caused no damage.
Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan signed the Mecca Mutual Defense Agreement in early August. The document stipulates that armed aggression against one of the parties is considered an attack against all, with assistance provided upon request and potentially including intelligence, logistical support, ammunition, and military units.
In September 2025, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif met in Beijing. During the talks, Putin stated that Russia values its relations with Pakistan.
[KhaamaPress] A Pak drone was shot down in Afghanistan’s Helmand ...an Afghan province populated mostly by Pashtuns, adjacent to Injun country in Pak Balochistan... province, according to local media reports
Taliban ...the once and current oppressors of Afghanistan... -linked media claimed Thursday that the group’s forces shot down an armed Pak drone in Afghanistan’s southern Helmand province, days after Pakistain carried out Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... s in several Afghan provinces amid escalating cross-border tensions.
Hariyat Media, a platform affiliated with Taliban intelligence, reported that the drone was intercepted over the Garmsir district of Helmand while flying near a Taliban border brigade position. The outlet cited local sources as saying the unmanned aircraft was carrying explosives and was destroyed during the operation.
The report said the incident occurred over an area close to the Afghanistan-Pakistain border, where Taliban border forces have recently increased security deployments following a series of Pak military operations.
Neither the Taliban Defense Ministry nor other Taliban officials have independently released evidence confirming the drone’s downing, including photographs or video of the wreckage. Pak authorities have not commented on the claim.
The alleged drone interception follows a new round of Pak airstrikes inside Afghanistan. Reports indicated that Pakistain recently targeted areas in Khost, Paktia and Kandahar provinces, while additional strikes earlier hit Kunar and Paktika ...which coincidentally borders North Wazoo and Kurram Agency... .
The United Nations ...a lucrative dumping ground for the relatives of dictators and party hacks... said at least three people were killed in the latest Pak airstrikes, while local residents reported damage to homes and civilian infrastructure. Pakistain has said previous cross-border operations were aimed at hard boy groups that Islamabad accuses of launching attacks from Afghanistan territory.
Relations between Pakistain and the Taliban administration have deteriorated over the past year as Islamabad has intensified military operations along the border and repeatedly blamed the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistain (TTP) for attacks originating from Afghanistan. The Taliban administration has denied allowing Afghanistan territory to be used for attacks against Pakistain.
Pakistain has increasingly relied on airstrikes and drones against what it describes as hard boy hideouts near the Afghanistan border. Previous operations in Khost, Paktika and Kunar have drawn condemnation from Taliban officials, who accused Pakistain of violating Afghanistan’s illusory sovereignty and killing civilians.
Islamabad maintains that the strikes are part of counterterrorism operations targeting gangs threatening Pakistain’s security, while the Taliban insist they do not permit foreign hard boy groups to use Afghanistan territory for attacks.

When Israel does things like that it's called GENOCIDE.
[IsraelTimes] Saudi Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula, largely made up of sand and oil rigs. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual haj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. Formerly dictatorial and steeped in Olde Tyme Religion, deferring to Salafist holy men on all issues, it has now done a 180 and is making a serious effort to modernize, so as not to be left in the sand by its Gulf Arab neighbors. The holy men have been shoved to the background and the nation is now still dictatorial but somewhat rational. That doesn't make them trustworthy, but it's a start... intercepted six ballistic missiles fired by Yemen ...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of... ’s Iran-backed Iran's Houthi sock puppets ...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The legitimate Yemeni government has accused the them of having ties to the Iranian government. Honest they did. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews They like shooting off... ummm... missiles that they would have us believe they make at home in their basements. On the plus side, they did murder Ali Abdullah Saleh, which was the only way the country was ever going to be rid of him... s on Thursday that the Saudi-led coalition in Yemen said were aimed at Taif in western Saudi Arabia and the Yanbu area on the Red Sea.
The Houthis later on Thursday said they had carried out attacks on what they described as "a sensitive target" in the capital Riyadh and on Saudi Aramco facilities in Yanbu.
Houthi military front man Yahya Saree said the group used ballistic and cruise missiles as well as drones in the two operations, adding that they had achieved their objectives.
There was no immediate Saudi confirmation of an attack on Riyadh. Saudi civil defense did not issue an emergency alert for Riyadh on Thursday.
The escalation threatens Saudi Arabia’s ability to export oil through the Red Sea at a time when the Strait of Hormuz is disrupted and the kingdom’s East-West pipeline is only now resuming operations after dronezaps earlier this month. The Houthis declared a naval blockade on the kingdom in July, opening a second theatre in the war between the US and Iran.
It was not clear whether there was any damage or casualties in either Taif or Yanbu, the main alternative route for Saudi oil, after a widespread emergency alert was issued for areas including Jeddah and Islam’s holy city of Mecca.
The attack on Yanbu followed an improvement in prospects for oil exports to resume from the terminal there. Industry sources say Saudi Arabia is building up crude pumping volumes through its East-West pipeline, which was shut on September 11 after drone attacks which Riyadh has blamed on Iraqi militia.
HOUTHIS CLAIM ATTACK ON JAZAN FURTHER SOUTH
Saree had said earlier on Thursday that the group had attacked Saudi military sites in Jazan province bordering Yemen. There was no immediate confirmation from Saudi Arabia.
Saree said the Houthis carried out the attack using dozens of ballistic missiles and drones, targeting what he described as "operations rooms, command and control centres, weapons depots" in Jazan, as well as missile launch sites and military camps.
Saudi civil defense issued an emergency alert over a potential danger in Jazan on Wednesday, but it issued no alerts on Thursday.
Civil defense authorities also warned of potential danger in the northwestern province of Tabuk, near the border with Jordan — a first for the area during the latest escalation between the kingdom and the Houthis this month.
The Houthis have largely attacked southern areas of Saudi Arabia.
They seized the whole Yemeni western coast in a lightning offensive nearly two weeks ago that brought them to the shores of the Red Sea’s strategic Bab el-Mandeb waterway.
FLARE-UP IN YEMEN’S CIVIL WAR BROADENS MIDDLE EAST CONFLICT
The Riyadh-backed government’s forces had earlier repelled overnight attacks by the Houthis on a key supply route to Yemen’s third-biggest city, Taiz, from the southern port city of Aden, where the internationally recognized administration is based, government sources said.
The Houthis have kept up pressure along a steep, winding mountain pass known as Hejat al-Abd, a lifeline for government forces and the only route for goods and residents to reach Taiz and travel abroad.
Seizing parts of the road could allow the Houthis to tighten their grip around the city and deal another blow to the government, which has struggled to regain the initiative since losing the western coast.
The fighting is the latest episode in 12 years of civil war in Yemen, which had largely been frozen since a 2022 truce. The Houthis seized the capital Sanaa in 2014, prompting a Saudi-led military intervention the following year in support of the internationally recognised government.
More than 700 people have been killed and thousands maimed in the latest fighting, according to the United Nations ...the Oyster Bay money pit... . Nearly 130,000 Yemenis have been displaced within the country, while more than 3,000 have fled by boat across the Red Sea to Africa.

[IsraelTimes] Several incoming Congress members protest at event led by anti-Zionist Jewish Voice for Peace alongside Hasan Piker, Hannah Einbinder
A far-left Congressional primary winner and several celebrities were among the 104 activists arrested during a protest led by the anti-Zionist Jewish Voice for Peace outside the United Nations ...a lucrative dumping ground for the relatives of dictators and party hacks... headquarters in New York on Thursday as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke to the UN General Assembly.
The protesters blocked First Avenue, just south of UN Headquarters, in an act of civil disobedience, and were arrested after refusing to clear the roadway.
The House primary winners expected to enter Congress and who were at the protest were Darializa Avila Chevalier and Brad Lander of New York, Melat Kiros of Colorado, Adam Hamawy of New Jersey, and Chris Rabb of Pennsylvania.
Chevalier and several local New York elected officials were arrested, Jewish Voice for Peace said in a statement.
"Benjamin Netanyahu belongs at the Hague; not in the streets of New York City, and certainly not addressing the United Nations General Assembly," Chevalier said. "I refuse to allow a war criminal to roam the streets of our city unchallenged."
Celebrities in attendance included actors Hannah Einbinder, Elliot Page, Cynthia Nixon and Susan Sarandon, and the far-left streamer Hasan Piker.
Einbinder and Sarandon were arrested, along with the prominent activists Linda Sarsour and Rabbi Abby Stein.
Jewish Voice for Peace said protest co-sponsors included the Paleostinian Youth Movement, the US Campaign for Paleostinian Rights, and the far-left Jewish groups Jews for Economic and Racial Justice and IfNotNow.
Chevalier won the primary for New York’s 13th Congressional District earlier this year.
She attended a celebratory rally in Times Square on October 8, 2023, the day after the Hamas ..the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®,... invasion of Israel, refused to condemn Hamas and the attack during the campaign, and has made anti-Zionist activism central to her politics.
Later, thousands gathered at a protest led by the Palestinian Youth Movement. The demonstrators rallied at Bryant Park in midtown Manhattan, then marched across town to Dag Hammarskjöld Plaza, near the UN.
The demonstration was the largest in the city on Thursday, after a series of protests by Jewish groups.
One brandished a flag for the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, a US-designated terrorist group.
Contingents of protesters hailed from communist and socialist groups, the far-left CodePink, the Democratic Socialists of America and the anti-Zionist Jewish Voice for Peace.

Funny how they didn't see the stories out of Gaza where Hamas members are selling their daughters into marriage to get money. Oh, wll - I'm sure they'll see it any time now.

BREAKING | In an Operation to Locate Combat Means: Security Forces Uncover Two Shafts and Rule Out Suspicion of a Tunnel
In addition, the forces arrested four terrorism suspects and found weapons, ammunition stores, and two shafts
⭕ The Israel Defense Forces, Border Guard in Judea and Samaria, and Judea and Samaria District Police, under the command of the Ephraim Brigade, conducted an activity during the night hours to locate combat means in Qalqilya, following intelligence information received about the presence of combat means in the area.
⭕ During the activity, the forces uncovered two shafts approximately 12 meters deep, and near them found combat means, including an M16-type rifle, a hunting rifle, a pistol, and ammunition, which the forces confiscated.
⭕ Contrary to the official and irresponsible statements published on the matter, and after examining the two shafts, the existence of a tunnel path in them was ruled out, as was the existence of the shaft near a friction area.
⭕ Additionally, the forces arrested four terrorism suspects, who are under investigation by the security forces.
⭕ Meanwhile, security forces continue extensive activity in the area to locate additional shafts and rule out their existence, and are carrying out broad operations to locate additional combat means.
⭕ Security forces will continue to operate proactively and offensively to thwart terrorism throughout the Judea and Samaria Division and to maintain the security of the population.
