He is accused of stabbing five people in Monsey, New York. Chilling images from inside the property show bloodied floors and overturned chairs following the assault which has been labeled 'an act of terrorism' by Governor Andrew Cuomo.
One surveillance photo shows the suspect wearing a hood and scarf making his way up stairs to Rabbi Chaim Rottenberg's Shul carrying the blade in his left hand.
Further images obtained by CNN show the devastation inside the home.
The suspect, wearing a hood and scarf, makes his way up stairs to Rabbi Chaim Rottenberg's Shul carrying the blade. (Note conflicting evidence as to the length of blade!) An obvious question: Is the arrested man right or laft handed?
Joe Johnson-TodI'm pretty certain that stabbing five Jewish people at a Hanukkah party is anti-Semitic, that's not a 'zionist' take.
Tim VeaterJoe Johnson-Tod Beware of fabrication: It's rife! "At Thomas' Greenwood Lake home, his pastor and a family friend defended him late Sunday. "Grafton is not a terrorist. ... He's not a violent person," said United Methodist Church Pastor Wendy Paige, who says she's known Thomas for the past 10 years. Family friend Taleen Collins spoke glowingly about him. "Grafton has always been a loving, loving man towards me. He calls me 'auntie' sometimes ... He's just a loving person. I've never seen anything violent." "He is not a terrorist. He is a loving, loving man with a lot of creativity," Collins said, adding that, "he's a wonderful spirit." https://edition.cnn.com/.../new-york-stabbing.../index.html

Suspect in Hanukkah celebration stabbings arrested in New York…
Tim VeaterWitness Aron Kohn described the moment the suspect walked into the Rabbi's residence and began attacking with a knife he described as almost as big as "a broomstick."
"I saw him walking in by the door. I asked who was coming in in the middle of the night with an umbrella. While I was saying that, he pulled it out from the thing and he started to run into the big room, which was on the left side. And I had thrown tables and chairs, that he should get out of here. And the injured guy, he was bleeding here, bleeding in his hand, all over," Kohn said. "I ran into the other room to save my life. I saw him running this way, so I ran the other way to save my life. He said something but I could not understand what he said. I saw him pull out the knife from the holder, the case."
Tim VeaterI'm sure you noted the arrested man has no criminal record, no history of violence of any kind, but has had a history of mental problems which involved hospitalization. Therefore this seems to be out of character, and if they have got the right man, a mental problem although it is being spun as 'anti-semitism'. Questions arise in my mind of how 'he burst into the house'. Was the front door left unlocked? Where is the machete referred to? No further mention is made of it. Terrorists and murderers, if they are any good, always have an escape plan and are seldom caught. A police woman is seen carrying a coat from the house. This is crazy as immediately following it would be a crime scene and everything inside photographed and and bagged. And as always suspicious video footage, conveniently of the man being arrested from his car but nothing of the attack itself apart from distant shot of him allegedly getting into his car but not walking to it. I have learned to be very wary of incidents that get huge international coverage as often as not they are set-ups with certain political objectives.
Well! How convenient. At least it's not a passport photo!
Monsey Stabbing Suspect to Face Federal Hate Crime Charges After Journal Found With anti-Semitic Entries
Grafton E. Thomas's internet searches included 'why did Hitler hate the Jews' as well as 'German Jewish Temples near me' and an article about anti-Semitic attacks
A criminal complaint said law enforcement agents recovered the journals from his Greenwood Lake, N.Y., residence that included comments such as questioning "why ppl mourned for anti-Semitism when there is Semitic genocide" and a page with drawings of a Star of David and a Swastika. Who in America is talking about this though? Of course whilst world media focuses on this alleged case of antisemitism this little event coincidentally passes without notice or censure:
Israel to Place East Jerusalem Residents Under Nighttime Curfew in Rare Move
Six young Palestinians with Israeli residency notified of army's plan to employ British Mandate-era regulations, hardly ever used in areas annexed by Israel
Israel Approves Withholding Additional $43 Million From Palestinian Authority's Budget
When Israel offset 500 million shekels from Palestinian tax money last year, the move sparked a crisis – which international mediators are concerned will now be reignited
