  1. That's not a hate crime it was a robbery oh that's right they thrive on Petty

  2. Why do they put "elderly" in the headline? They might be in their 70s, but don't look it. To me, elderly just sounds frail. Other than that, thank you for this interview. Very inspiring. I'm so sad this is happening…..

  3. Gonna be a tough one for Gavin. Silagi is a victim of systemic racism, himself.

  4. We all need to remember one thing: all of us are children of God, and we all bleed the same way no matter what we look like and what our faith is and where we from.we should respect each other because we not going bring anything when we leave this world every thing stays here. Love for all hatred for none

  5. There is something very Evil in the World right now.

  6. Pray for Jews in America. . At least when you go outside nobody can tell who you are. For Black people we dont have that privilege. For being the oldest Human with the most DNA we are aways the number 1 group who deal with hate crime. The government hasn't provide Black people with a hate crime bill. Will pray

  7. A synagogue in US showing a flag of a foreign country? 🤔 For information you can be jews without being zionist

  8. Thanks for reporting on this so thoroughly. Thanks for naming the man who was arrested. Spelling his name and showing a photo would have been useful and might have brought forth previous victims. I found the information at CNN: he is Jarris Jay Silagi.

  9. The perp attacked the man for the wife's earrings?
    Sounds a little fishy to say the least.

  10. Beverly hills ?? Isn't that the place where all the gold in California is in a vault in the middle of it in some money grabber's name ??
    Plush living, no doubts they're waiting for $compensation
    Looks like it was a baseball hat, not a "helmet"

  11. Unfortunately is very bad and government of England is asleep .

  12. Release the info about the suspects! Hiding their identities makes ya’ll complicit. Ya’ll always hide the suspects’ identities.

  13. When they show the picture of “Jered” —- We will find out that he is black.

  14. Sad,Nice couple just minding their own business..This world is terrible .

  15. The guy was just a progressive liberal leftist. They see Jews as white, which in their version of morality, which is solely based on who's more oppressed is a crime against humanity.

  16. 🇺🇸⚖️☝🏻 IF YOU ARE FLYING ANY FLAG IN AMERICA OTHER THAN THIS FLAG🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 YOU WILL NOT BE SUPPORTED.👎🏻

  17. I am sad they called the elderly

  18. David Lee Roth has a Christmas song out.
    Please listen to it.

  19. There WAS NO HATE CRIME. He was simply attacked just like any other Citizen. But Because he is JEWISH they Find some reason to try and cast blame on Muslims! SICK and Disgusting LIES and Propaganda!

  20. Fund ukraine and Israel Republicans fault

  21. A belt, he tried that with a belt, that's new never thought someone had the chance to in such a protracted area now a days with current events going on, but seriously guys invoking fear has to stop looking straight at you government simply because no one will even try such a thing especially with a belt.
    #Peace
    #Commonsense

  22. This is so so sad. Love and prayers🙏🙏🙏

  23. Happy Holidays…. from you to us ….😊
