Staff Reports
In a shocking and troubling incident, a Lyft driver is facing hate crime charges for attacking a passenger he thought was Jewish or Israeli. Can you believe it? This kind of despicable behavior has no place in our society. The former driver, Csaba John Csukas, is accused of assaulting a passenger at the San Francisco International Airport back in October. What a disgrace!
It’s alarming to see such blatant antisemitism on display, especially in the wake of the conflict between Israel and Hamas. This kind of behavior is absolutely unacceptable, and we must stand against it in all its forms. It’s sickening to think that someone would target another person based on their religion or nationality. We must root out this kind of hatred wherever it appears.

Attorney General Merrick Garland and FBI Director Christopher Wray both rightfully condemned the attack. It’s reassuring to see our law enforcement officials taking this matter seriously. We cannot tolerate hate-fueled violence of any kind, whether it’s motivated by antisemitism or any other form of bias. Justice must be served, and those responsible for such heinous acts must be held accountable.
This incident is just one example of the disturbing rise in antisemitism that we’ve seen recently. It’s deeply troubling to hear about Jewish students being threatened on college campuses and violent attacks against Israel supporters. We must do everything in our power to protect the safety and security of all Americans, regardless of their background or beliefs.
As we continue to monitor the situation, it’s essential that we stand united against hate and discrimination. We cannot allow bigotry to divide us or tear our country apart. We must work together to create a society where everyone is treated with respect and dignity. Let’s condemn these acts of violence and strive to build a better, more inclusive future for all.
