It's not about a real estate conflict between Palestinians and Israelis.
It's a religious war on the Jews.
Exhibit 1:
Muslim on Ethiopian Airlines tries to kill man on board airplane with food tray and by choking him after he finds out co-passenger is Israeli.
"A Muslim man has been detained for choking a Jewish passenger on a flight to Ethiopia and urging others to lynch him after discovering the man was Israeli.
"The Sudanese attacker realised he was seated behind the Jewish passenger about 30 minutes before the Ethiopian Airlines flight landed in Addis Ababa, on Thursday last week."
"He then allegedly lashed out at him - striking him with a metal food tray and screaming 'Allah Akbar' and 'slaughter the Jew'."
I think that there was a misunderstanding.
"Allah Akbar" and "slaughter the Jew" is just Arabic for 'I said I wanted your package of peanuts'.
Meanwhile in Brooklyn, NY...
Exhibit 2:
Jewish man stabbed in the back by masked assailant.
NYPD are muttering about a 'possible hate crime'.
Locals are a little more clear-headed on this and speculate that that "it might be an attempt to copy recent Palestinian stabbing attacks against Israeli Jews".
And why wouldn't it be?
There hasn't been too much sleep lost over the stabbings of Jews in Israel, I don't think President Obama has actually articulated anything explicit about the bloodshed, so why wouldn't the phenomenon go global?
"Lone wolves" are never local. They are always part of a pack. And trust me, what starts with the Jews never ends with the Jews.
"A local Jewish leader told The Algemeiner newspaper that “people have to be very vigilant, there are no coincidences here."
“There are a lot of people that hate us and the haters are going to use every excuse they can to come after Jews,” Zaki Tamir, chairman of the board of the local Crown Heights Jewish Community Council, said."

“I don’t know if it is a hate crime or mugging, but it’s hard to imagine it is an isolated incident.”
