Can't These Skinhead Morons Get Anything Right? We Killed him at Easter….
From today’s New York Post:
When Walter Adler of Brooklyn boarded a subway at Canal Street towards home with his girlfriend, Maria Parsheva, and two friends someone in another group wished them “Merry Christmas.” They responded, “Happy Hanukkah.” Not exactly fighting words to most people, but according to Adler, one of the group immediately hiked up his sleeve to reveal a tattoo of Christ and said, “Happy Hanukkah, that’s when the Jews killed Jesus.” This guy and his buds -about 14 men and women- then allegedly began calling Adler and friends, “dirty Jews” and “Jew bitches, ” and six of them were later arrested for assault.
According to the Post, “They just came at us so fast. The first thing that came into my mind was, ‘Yeah, this is going to be violent,’ said Parsheva, 20.”
Hassan Askari, 20, a Muslim from Bangladesh, jumped in to defend Adler.
“Walter Adler was touched that Hassan Askari jumped to his aid while a group of thugs allegedly pummeled and taunted him and his three friends. So Adler has invited his new friend over to celebrate the Festival of Lights.
The two new pals – Adler, 23, with a broken nose and a fat lip, and Askari, 20, with two black eyes – broke bread together and laughed off the bruises the night after the fisticuffs.
“A random Muslim guy jumped in and helped a Jewish guy on Hanukkah – that’s a miracle,” said Adler, an honors student at Hunter College.
“He’s basically a hero. Hassan jumped in to help us.”
But Askari, who is studying to be an accountant, shrugged off the praise.
“I just did what I had to do,” he recalled. “My parents raised me that way”
All I want to add is that I wouldn’t have called it a miracle, but it’s nice to hear some publicity about a Muslim and a Jew that can be wrapped up “all’s well that ends well,” and maybe a new friendship in the making.
In the name of the most Merciful, may we all come to break bread together in friendship.
Oh, yeah, and can some priest or minister step forward to at least teach these “Christians” that “nativity” means “birth?”
Let me be the first to blame Bill OReilley — and by extension, the New York Post’s owner, Rupert Murdoch, who pays old Bill for his hate-mongering “War on Xmas” rants.
Actually, we killed him on Good Friday.
Actually, we killed him on Erev Pesach. See Bavli Sanhedrin 41a.
Not saying Adler deserved it (he didn’t), but there’s something fairly sleazy about him.
Also, the attackers are more thugs than skinheads. Either way they’re gonna have a blast in jail as prisons in NYC aren’t exactly known for their large Polish/Serbian/Croatian/whatever populations.
That was my first thought too, the wrong holiday thing.
Reminds me of several months ago, where using VG Tech as an excuse, the cars of some Korean-Americans were smashed and they were told to all go back to China. Accuracy wuh? Oh, and then there is the concept of white nationalism in North America, where they are most certainly not the natives.
Happy Hanukkah! I would have wished my Jewish friends a good Hanukkah if I could trust myself not to mingle the sound. Thank goodness holiday is easy. …and then there is the universal “have a good feast”.
I hope Askari invites Adler to Eid-Al-Adha…
And the only evidence that this Jesus fellow was wrongfully executed is a book (heavily edited by Roman priests to remove blame from Romans, of course) which claims that he was seen walking around alive 3 days later.
That would get a murder case thrown out in any sensible court.
I AM SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT THE ATTACK- I WISH NAZI’S WOULDN’T CALL THEMSELVES SKINHEADS- THEY AREN’T AND NEVER WILL BE. SKINS STARTED AS A MUSICAL SUBCULTURE IN JAMAICA WITH THE RUDEBOYS AND IT WAS ALL ABOUT SKA- THE SOUND/ MUSIC. MOST OF THE FIRST SKINS WERE BLACK. IT WAS NEVER ABOUT RACE- JUST MUSIC. CHECK THE HISTORY-IT’S ON YOU TUBE, WIKIPEDIA, ALL OVER. IT IS VERY FRUSTRATING TO BE ACCUSED BY FIRST GLANCE OF JUDGING PEOPLE BY FIRST GLANCE. I AM AMERICAN WORKING CLASS AND JEWISH. YES, THERE ARE JEWISH SKINS. CHECK OUT S.H.A.R.P. OR SKIN HEADS AGAINST RACIAL PREJUDICE- ONE OF THE FOUNDERS IS ALSO JEWISH. MOST PEOPLE DON’T CHOOSE TO REMEMBER THAT ON THE INFAMOUS GERALDO SHOW WHERE HE GOT HIS NOSE BROKEN THAT A BLACK SKINHEAD IN THE AUDIENCE GOT UP AND SAID THAT THESE GUYS WEREN’T SKINS AND THEY DIDN’T KNOW THE CULTURE. WE DON’T EVEN CALL THEM SKINS. THEIR MONIKER IS “BONEHEAD.”
