President Donald Trump on Sunday called on Americans to confront rising anti-Semitism in the United States following a stabbing attack at the home of a New York City-area rabbi that left five people wounded on Hanukkah.

The suspect was identified by officials as Grafton E. Thomas, who was arraigned Sunday on five counts of attempted murder and a count of burglary for the Rockland County attack.
