With Purim near, rioters threaten Jews in Teaneck, NJ: ‘You’re not safe here — or anywhere’
NY Post
Sunday is the Jewish holiday of Purim, a commemoration of the defeat of Haman, a king’s aide under the Achaemenid Empire who planned to massacre all of the Jews — and Jews in Teaneck, NJ, are on edge that the celebration will lead to a renewed violence in their community.
They’re particularly worried about their children being targeted.
Everything old is new again.
Over the last few weekends, a car rally called “All out for Palestine” has targeted the town, the home of the second-largest Jewish population in New Jersey.
The meetup location of the protesters is in Paterson, at the Islamic Center of Passaic County: Cars drive from there nearly 13 miles to Teaneck.
A social-media post for the rally menacingly adds, “Once we arrive at [sic] destination further action will be determined.”
