An appalling antisemitic attack in Queens, New York, is now under investigation by the FBI as a potential hate crime after a group of Jewish diners was brutally assaulted at a kosher restaurant. Victims reported being beaten and verbally abused with slurs like “Kill all the Jews,” leaving several hospitalized with serious injuries, including concussions and fractured ribs. The violence erupted after one of the attackers allegedly stole a woman’s handbag, sparking a confrontation that escalated into a mob-style beating inside and outside the restaurant.
Eyewitnesses say the attackers—both men and women—specifically targeted the group for being Jewish, shouting genocidal threats as they kicked, punched, and chased victims through the streets. Despite police being called, no arrests have been made, and the restaurant staff reportedly failed to intervene. The NYPD has yet to classify the incident as a hate crime, even as New York faces a disturbing rise in antisemitic assaults since Hamas’s October 7 attack on Israel. For those affected, this wasn’t just a random altercation—it was a terrifying reminder that Jewish people in America are once again being hunted simply for who they are.
This violent attack on Jewish diners in New York is yet another sobering sign of the global rise in antisemitism—a pattern Scripture warns will intensify in the last days. The prophetic timeline reveals that the nations will increasingly turn against the Jewish people, culminating in a future siege against Jerusalem itself (Zechariah 12:3). When cries of “Kill all the Jews” echo in American streets and such hatred goes unchecked, it becomes clear that the spiritual hostility toward God’s chosen people is not only resurfacing but accelerating. These aren’t isolated acts—they are part of a larger prophetic convergence.
Stay Awake. Keep Watch.
