    The FBI and University of Pittsburgh are investigating a possible antisemitic attack against a Jewish student, the second such incident in a month.

    The unidentified student was walking off campus Friday morning when he was assaulted by a gang of six to eight men, NBC News reported. At least three of the suspects were in their early 20s, authorities said.

    ”During the assault, the actors used anti-Semitic language. A bystander intervened and ended the assault,” Pittsburgh University Police said in a news release which classified the incident as a “Hate Crime/Assault.”

    The victim’s condition is unclear. The FBI has opened its own investigation into the assault to determine whether it met the criteria for a federal hate crime.

    The latest incident comes after two Jewish students at the university were attacked Aug. 29 by a man with a glass bottle.

    The suspect in that attack, Jarrett Buba ,is now facing charges of assault, harassment and resisting arrest.

    The hate in this country is a absolute disgrace and those responsible should take a good look at themselves and ask are they any better than the person who they assaulted

    How long do you people think it will be before Jews as well as Christians won't have to wear identification as the Jews did in Nazi Germany? This is getting very dangerous. If harris/walz get into the White House truly evil will happen to this nation.
