An African-American suspect who yelled anti-Semitic slurs at a 22-year-old Jewish man in Brooklyn, N.Y., before shoving him to the ground when he tried to film the assault is being held on $10,000 bond.

Jasmine Lucas, 24, was charged in Brooklyn criminal court on Thursday with second-degree robbery as a hate crime and second-degree assault, along with other counts.

In the attack, which she reportedly conducted with another woman, she shouted “F***k you Jew” and “I will kill you Jews” at the Chassidic victim.

The victim sustained minor injuries from being hit in the face with a cell phone.

The incident was at least the 12th reported anti-Semitic attack in New York in the past week.

Iran has “no red lines,” Israel’s Foreign Ministry said.
The National Jewish Advocacy Center called the decision about the Surfside election a “major voting rights victory.”
The team said that the person it banned purchased tickets, which were used by people who performed a Nazi salute.
Although AIPAC supports Goldman, a source on the congressman’s campaign told JNS that “it makes no sense to suggest that we’re in the hands of AIPAC.”
“To have that full commitment and engagement, both at the public level, but also in the faith school system, is incredibly powerful,” Heather Mann, a project officer with UNESCO, told JNS.
The Israeli Foreign Ministry called the decision a “major step in holding the Palestinian authority accountable for its long-lasting terror support—financially and legally.”
