A Jewish man who was outside his apartment building in New York City having a cigarette on the first night of Hanukkah says he was sucker punched, leaving him bruised and bloody.

Joshua Merenfeld said he was attacked from behind, with the person yelling antisemitic slurs at him while clubbing and kicking him.

"He sucker punched me, pushed me over, assaulted me," Merenfeld told WNYW.

Oh ffs, can people not?

Minding your business is so much easier than committing hate crimes.

Out of the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks

I'm not remotely religious, but if the people who claim they are would actually read their fucking Bible, they would find that verse in Matthew

I think that verse still holds true as these people have hearts so full of hate that it overflows out of their mouths and hands.

Excellent point! Also rather partial to "Love your neighbor as yourself" from Leviticus.

Also, I think you meant to say "Christian," not "religious." There are billions of religious people who are not interested in the Christian scriptures. I honestly do not mean to be pedantic, but that kind of cultural erasure is not helpful to minority religions.
