There have been other attacks on Jews outside of Israel, a recent similar stabbing in NYC and one on a plane to Ethiopia where the assailant yelled “Death to Jews!”.
Via Telegraph:
An Orthodox Jewish businessman was badly wounded after being repeatedly stabbed by a masked assailant in an attack on the streets of Milan.
Nathan Graff, 40, was stabbed seven times in the face, neck, back and arm by a man wearing a balaclava, as he stood outside a kosher pizzeria.
There were fears that the vicious assault was a copy-cat attack inspired by the recent spate of stabbings of Jews by Palestinians in Israel and the occupied West Bank.
Mr Graff was wearing a kippah or skull cap and was clearly identifiable as Jewish at the time of the attack, which happened in the street in which he lives.
One of the stab wounds nearly severed his optic nerve.
His family insisted that he had no enemies and said the attack must have been religiously motivated.
Did the attacker perhaps look like this?
