Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.

7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link.

I don't mean to disparage the real risk of antisemitism, but this might be making a mountain out of a molehill, and "thetimesofisrael" isn't my favourite source in these times.
My point is rather that stabbings are pretty common in NYC. This guy have probably did have antisemitic motivations, I believe that, but in a city so large and so prone to violence, that's sort of bound to happen at some point. It doesn't justify it, but I think one shouldn't be drawing conclusions of "growing antisemitism" because of one crazy in New York.
I am? When? You can read my future? What are the winning lottery numbers for this week's draw?
The word "appears" doing a lot of heavy lifting there. When researching sources, the stories have lines such as "allegedly", kind of a lot in them. And still, I'm not questioning the veracity of it, am I?
Have you heard of "media criticism"? Or if you practice media criticism at all, it makes you an antisemite?
Where on Earth did you pull this shit from?
The point is exactly that in a city the size of New York — unfortunate and unwanted as it is — hate crimes of all types, including antisemitism, are something that has always, (but hopefully will not always) happen.
With how explosive the rhetoric and protesting around this topic is, I fail to the importance of this story in the bigger picture.
I'm not gonna start whatabouting by linking several instances of some other group getting attacked, because this isn't a competition on who is getting hatecrimed the most.
The point I am making is that unfortunate as this is, it's implying something that it doesn't back up.
