A man who stabbed a Jewish-Israeli student in Brooklyn while shouting 'Free Palestine' has been sentenced to five years in prison after pleading guilty to attempted murder. The attack occurred near the headquarters of the Chabad Hasidic movement in Crown Heights, an area that has seen a surge in antisemitic incidents in recent years. The victim, Yechiel Dabrowskin, survived after undergoing surgery, and the incident sparked an outpouring of community support. The case is part of a troubling pattern of violent attacks across the United States where assailants have invoked the 'Free Palestine' slogan, often targeting Jewish individuals and institutions.
