Obadiah Lashley

Obadiah Lashley is a home health aide who was jailed after committing a violent antisemitic assault in February 2024.

Lashley’s attack occurred in the wake of Hamas terror atrocities and war crimes against Israeli civilians, including mass murder, torture, rape, beheadings and kidnappings, which were executed on October 7, 2023.

The Hamas attacks left over 1,200 Israelis dead, hundreds kidnapped and thousands wounded. Israel retaliated with a war called “Swords of Iron.”

In January 2024, the Anti-Defamation League reported that the number of antisemitic hate crimes from October 7, 2023, to January 7, 2024, was 360 percent more when compared to the same dates a year earlier.

As of February 26, 2024, Lashley’s LinkedIn profile said he was a part-time home health aide at Royal Care.

Royal Care operates in the New York metropolitan area, with offices in Brooklyn, the Bronx, Queens and Nassau County.
