"The central New Jersey community of Highland Park was targeted Tuesday night in a series of anti-Semitic attacks on at least five Jewish-owned establishments. Vandals hurled bricks through the plate glass windows of a kosher restaurant, a kosher pizza shop, two Judaica stores, and a Jewish-owned hardware store.
At least three other Jewish-owned establishments in nearby New Brunswick were also similarly attacked, including the Rutgers Chabad House, the Rutgers Hillel and an Israeli-owned falafel eatery. Read more here.
Arrest Made in Highland Park 'Kristallnacht'. A New Jersey man in his mid to late 50s has been arrested in connection with the smashing of windows in Highland Park:
"The destruction took place on the anniversary of the 1947 United Nations Partition Vote to create the Jewish State in Palestine... The Anti-Defamation League called the crimes 'shocking. We are appalled by the targeting of Jewish stores and Jewish campus institutions at Rutgers,' said ADL New Jersey Regional Board Chairman Lawrence Cooper. 'These shocking crimes target the entire Jewish community as these locations appear to have been selected because of their Jewishness.'" Read more here.
