More than a month before he charged into Hanukkah celebrations with a machete, prosecutors say, Grafton Thomas used his cellphone to search the Internet: 「Why did Hitler hate the Jews.」
檢方稱，在格拉夫頓?托馬斯持刀衝進一個光明節慶祝聚會的一個多月前，他曾用手機在網上搜索：「希特勒為什麼痛恨猶太人？」
That query — entered three more times over the following weeks — was just one red flag authorities found when they combed through Thomas』s belongings, officials said. There were more online searches, for temples 「near me.」
檢察官們透露，在接下來的幾周內，他又上網搜索了三次這個問題，而這還只是當局在搜查托馬斯的物品時發現的其中一個危險信號。這名罪犯還在網上搜索了很多其他內容，比如「我附近」的猶太教堂。
The discoveries detailed by an FBI agent would bring Thomas to court Monday on federal hate-crime charges, a day after he was charged with attempted murder in the stabbing that wounded five people at a rabbi』s home in New York』s Rockland County.
美國聯邦調查局一名特工搜查到的這些詳細發現，將使托馬斯周一面臨聯邦仇恨犯罪指控。一天前，托馬斯被控在紐約洛克蘭縣一名拉比家中持刀行刺，造成五人受傷。
Thomas』s family has said the suspect has 「no known history of anti-Semitism」 and attributed any responsibility in Saturday』s rampage in the New York suburb of Monsey to 「profound mental illness.」 But the federal criminal complaint points to Thomas』s handwritten journals and online history as evidence that the man sought to target Jews in an assault that quickly renewed fears of rising anti-Semitic violence.
嫌疑人托馬斯的家人表示，他以前「從未有過反猶太的舉止行為」，並將周六發生在紐約郊區蒙西的暴行歸咎成他患有「嚴重的精神疾病」。但聯邦刑事起訴書指出，托馬斯手寫的日記和網上的搜索記錄證明，他試圖以猶太人為攻擊目標，這很快重新引發了人們對反猶太暴力升級的擔憂。
Thomas pleaded not guilty on Sunday to five state counts of attempted murder and one count of burglary.
周日，托馬斯對五項謀殺未遂和一項入室盜竊指控拒不認罪。
Thomas』s attorney in court Monday declined to comment.
托馬斯的律師周一在法庭上拒絕就此置評。
Even before Monday』s charges brought a potential motive into focus, many officials and community leaders had denounced anti-Semitism and expressed concern about a spate of attacks on Jewish residents. Saturday』s stabbing was the 13th anti-Semitic incident in three weeks in New York state, the governor said, calling the Monsey stabbing 「domestic terrorism.」
甚至在周一的指控引起人們對其潛在動機的關注之前，許多官員和社區領袖就已經譴責了反猶主義，並對猶太人遭受的一連串襲擊表示了擔憂。周六的刺殺事件是三周內紐約州發生的第13起反猶太事件，該州州長指責稱，這起刺殺事件是「國內恐怖主義」。
Authorities found Thomas within hours of the attack, with blood on his clothes in a car that smelled of bleach.
當局在襲擊發生後幾個小時內就找到了托馬斯，他的衣服上有血跡，車裡有漂白劑的味道。
The suspect』s browser history showed queries related to Nazis, Jews and synagogues dating to at Nov. 9, according to the complaint filed by the U.S. Attorney』s Office for the Southern District of New York. A day before the stabbing, the complaint says, Thomas accessed an article on New York』s decision to increase police presence in multiple Jewish neighborhoods amid fears of anti-Semitic violence.
根據美國紐約南區檢察官辦公室提交的起訴書，嫌疑人的手機瀏覽器搜索歷史顯示，他在11月9日就開始查找有關納粹、猶太人和猶太教堂的內容。起訴書稱，托馬斯在行兇的前一天，瀏覽了一篇關於紐約決定在多個猶太人社區增加警力的文章，因為人們擔心發生反猶太暴力事件。
Journals discovered in Thomas』s home also include anti-Semitic statements, an FBI officer wrote in the federal complaint.
一名聯邦調查局官員在聯邦起訴書中寫道，在托馬斯家中發現的日記里還包括反猶言論。
Thomas』s family sought to dispel accusations of anti-Semitism in a statement released Sunday through a lawyer, saying he was not a member of any hate groups and 「was raised in a home which embraced and respected all religions and races.」
托馬斯的家人周日通過一名律師發表聲明，試圖消除對他的反猶太主義指控，並指出他不是任何仇恨團體的成員，相反，他「在一個包容和尊重所有宗教和種族的家庭中長大」。
The family pointed to Thomas』s 「long history of mental illness and hospitalizations,」 adding that attorney Michael Sussman plans to seek a mental health evaluation.
托馬斯的家人指出，托馬斯有「長期的精神病史並一直就此住院治療」，並補充說，律師邁克爾?薩斯曼正準備對其進行精神病學評估。
Sussman』s office did not respond Monday to inquiries.
薩斯曼的辦公室周一沒有回復記者的詢問。
