Lihi Aharon got onto the NYC Subway station by Tribeca, Manhattan after her school’s induction ceremony. She got onto the number 2 train and immediately noticed a woman spreading her belongings onto several seats of the busy train.
She asked the woman if she could remove her stuff to sit, but she refused, claiming they were her seats and no one else could sit there.
A few moments later Lihi started to witness the woman insulting a religious Jewish elderly man that was also sitting nearby, realizing that this old man had been getting verbally attacked for a while.
The angry woman began reciting Islamic prayers and yelling horrid things like “it’s good the they killed Jews in New Jersey, they should have killed all of you”.

The Jewish man looked scared, but would not respond. Lihi proceeded to pulling out her phone and the woman began turning the attention onto her. Things quickly escalated and the woman got up and smacked the phone out of Lihi’s hands and began grabbing and striking at her face. Lihi fought back and knocked the woman down refusing to be physically beaten. The woman lunged herself back at Lihi and the fight continued until they both found each other outside of the train as the doors opened. People started telling Lihi “your face is bleeding, your face is bleeding”, but Lihi was only focused on surviving this attack and finding a way to ask for help. No one did anything. No words. No Actions. Just dozens of people watching as if they were the audience of a TV show.Lihi quickly pushed the emergency button and cops arrived to the scene almost immediately. The woman was arrested and as the Police were talking the statements, she continued with her disgusting insults and profanities. Although this woman may be Muslim, she does not represent all Muslims.Apart from this being yet another anti-Semitic attack, something different happened this time. Lihi fought back. Lihi refused to just sit back and put her head down and succumbing to her attacker. She reached out to my Facebook page and asked me to help her share this incident with the world on my platforms. At first I thought I was just going to report on the attack she mentioned, but when I got on the phone with her I quickly realized that this was about much more.Lihi is an Israeli/Jewish hero and embodies the spirit which all Jews must learn from. Never be afraid and always stand up for yourself.You may have a mark on your face for life Lihi, but you’ve also left a mark on all of us.If you like our work and would like to see more projects like this please support us at www.patreon.com/rudyrochman or paypal.me/RudyRochman.Video Production: Leibman Productions

“Although this woman may be Muslim, she does not represent all Muslims” I love how they she to poi t this out all the time. So sick
From what it looks like, the offending lady is deranged
At least the donut eaters showed up a chanuka miracle
Kol hakavod to Lihi for fighting back.
Deblablablablasio’s New York.
this is the face of extremism that is coming out too frequently in the USA and in Europe. Maybe it is HaShem’s way of saying time to come home to Eretz haKodesh, eretz Yisroel?
U r in exile and u endanger all Jews by fighting back do u really think anti Semitism is gonna go away now? 1 thing u don’t get as long as the Jews make noise and are constantly making noise about this and that u will be attacked remember non-Jews hate Jews to death
The most disturbing part of the story, is everybody just standing around, without even a thought of intervening, whipping out their cell phones and videoing this as if it were a sporting event. We are living in Sedom
Hey yingele how is life in sanctuary cities ?
Once again this stems from a lack of condemnation from people of color. Where is sharpton ? Where are their leaders? Is it ok to yell the day after the attack that it’s the Jews fault for getting killed and we don’t belong here ? Why are we so quiet. The African American community is to blame for this hate.
You write for a fact: although this woman is Muslim “she does not represent all Muslims”, how do you know that, maybe she was sent by all Muslims to represent them
It does represent all Muslims whether out loud or privately. Pereh adam
That’s an Israeli that don’t take no cr-p from the mooooslims. Tough chick!
stop whining, as yidden this idea of making a shtink every time an egg is thrown or some graffitti etc.. is foreign . we never belonged to the ADL … we have it very good here and maybe we are just a bit to comfortable in galus..
if anyone can please ask reb dovid or reb shmuel… or another godol print this story and ask for his reaction
Lihi had no weapon because it’s illegal in NYC.
I was raised with the creed that “sticks and stones can break my bones but words will never hurt me “. As long as she was just sounding off her sewer mouth, ignore! Don’t jeopardize yourself and others by becoming physical with this clearly vicious and crazy woman. The minute you become physical, you are also ooening yourself to charges of assault and worse. Jews in golus keep a low profile
God’s for you for fighting back. We all should do that.
Look at that policeman not shutting her up. Shame on him.
FINALLY! SOME SELF-DEFENSE AND SELF RESPECT! BY AN ISRAELI WOMAN (of course). Tbe Jewish man sat tbere dumbfounded but the WOMAN FOUGHT BACK!
Isn’t it clear that the woman is mentally imbalanced? Fighting back is praiseworthy, but the pathetic woman is not an example to be hung out of what Jews need to fight against.
Spend some time on the Rutgers campus in New Brunswick; see how Jews with Yarmulkes are harassed by pro-BDS students…and even professors…scum who morph their political opposition to Israeli settlement policy into ugly anti-Antisemitism aimed at individual Jews…that’s where fighting back needs to happen, and those anti-Semites are what needs to be hung out as the enemy to be fought.
Kol hakavod!
The more Jews that fight back and people get arrested, the less attacks.
Arm, train and prepare to fight back.
LiHi ,
Hashem should bentch you to continue to be strong and powerful !! May we continue to be strong and we must stand up !! When people Bullies are not shut down then they know they can act on there vile thoughts !!! Thank you thank you thank you and Thank you Hashem for keeping you safe !!!
She’s just some crazy lady wandering the subway. They’re all over the place.
Good Job LIHI!! Habo le’horgoch hashkem le’horgo
Lihi did not touch her until this madwoman lunged for lihi’s phone and started to physically attack her. Please get the facts straight before commenting.
May Hashem bless you, you did the right thing!! and thanks for sharing your story and encouraging others.
It is the modus operandi for these characters to engage in continuous profanity, as they are low life, uneducated scum. Please note that i did not mention the race of the perpetrator, so kindly do not dare to characterize my legitimate disgust of a horrible miscreant, as “racist”. As I’ve stated on many occasions, the latter term has been tossed around so often, that it has ceased to have any legitimate meaning. Unfortunately, playing the race card seems to be a legitimate criminal defense these days. In fact, the psycho female attacker will probably allege that the Israeli girl called her the “N” word.
I do agree on one point with this yelling black woman. As Jews we hate gays because they are an abomination. Secular Jews must wake up.
This lady has got to get over it. We’re in galus so she shouldn’t be shooting off her big mouth on social media. It happened. It wasn’t right. It was painful. But let’s not make a whole production out of every single incident.
Gays are a capital offense according to our Torah. We hate hitler because he is evil
Nice profile pic. 🙁
