But it was a stabbing that appears to be directly targeted at Jews at a time when Jews have been directly targeted by other brutalities and other terror attacks, arson attacks.

Just in the last few weeks before that, there were arson attacks on synagogues, arson attack on a

premises that used to be a Jewish charities premises still had all the markings of it.

There have been vandalisms of other Jewish related premises, smashing of windows, daubing of red paint like blood, even places that have nothing to do with Jews in Israel, like Gail's Bakery is being attacked constantly because one of its initial founders, who has nothing to do with it anymore,
