Yes, the perpetrators must be brought to justice.

No, we shouldn’t assume it’s an anti-Jewish attack…given the current situation re Israel.

    If you're attacking a Jewish organization just for being Jewish and assuming that means they bear the burden of Israeli crimes you're an anti-semite.

    If you attack an ambulance performing medical duties for any reason, you're a peace of shit that deserves to get got and are almost certainly being a bigot of some form.

    Agree with both. But neither are parts of the facts of the event to my knowledge. I’d prefer that we knew something about the attackers and their motivations before we jump to antisemitism.

    Commenters like you not being able to separate an ethnicity from a nationality are no different to the motivations you ascribe to the unknown attacker, as far as bigotry is concerned.
