Rather than protecting Jews, authorities are telling us to hide -- again

Lawyer Gerard Filitti holds a press conference announcing that Jewish students at Cooper Union who were hiding in a library during a pro-Palestine protest will file a lawsuit against the school.

If I know Lubavitchers, and I know Lubavitchers, no one is hiding. But the point is that it is, literally, horrific that people are telling us to hide in the first place.

Hate Crime Cover Up Exposed in the 71st Precinct After Jewish Man Assaulted by Hate Spewing Teens

A female police officer in Crown Heights's 71st NYPD Precinct - who decided to cover up a possible hate crime - is now in the hot seat after the enraged victim went public with his shocking story.

Blacks are the single most antisemitic group in America. That fact will never change because their racism is ALWAYS excused and the left has placed them at the top of their intersectional hierarchy which dictates that they are always viewed as the victims, even as they are the primary perpetrators of hate crimes against Jews, whites and Asians.

Elder Of Ziyon - The .@NYTimes mirrors its 1991 biased coverage of the Crown Heights pogrom

Blogging about Israel and the Arab world since, oh, forever.

I remember the Crown Heights riots well. It was spurred by race hustlers like Al Sharpton who used a lie to manufacture an attack on the entire Jewish community, in which one young Jews was murdered. The New York Times, then as now, along with all of the mainstream media, portrayed it as another example of “both sides” causing a problem which they knew was originated by blacks and spread by Jew hating blacks that wanted to cause as much mayhem as possible. But, then as now, you can’t tell the truth without being branded as a “racist” - and the antisemites bad racists use that totally to their advantage.

30 Years Later: Remembering Crown Heights

Thirty years ago, anti-Semitic mobs plundered the Crown Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn for three days, chanting Nazi slogans, destroying Jewish homes and businesses, and lynching a young Jewish seminary student.

I had friends in Crown Heights sitting on the steps in front of their homes with shotguns to protect their families. One of the instigators of the riots, and the man partially responsible for the murder of Yankel Rosenbaum, is now a host on MSNBC and was/is a frequent guest of the Obamas. Al Sharpton should have been rotting in prison for the last three decades. Antisemitism is real, and it is particularly virulent in the black community where it has only grown since 1991.

Skyrocketing Attacks On NYC Jews Ignored Because Of Race

An epidemic of anti-Jewish violence in Brooklyn is being virtually ignored because many of the assailants are black and Hispanic.

This is in AOC’s backyard. She yammers constantly, but never a about this. Bigotry only matters on the left when it fits the narrative. Most anti-Semitic attacks in Brooklyn are carried out by blacks and Hispanics. They can’t exploit that kind of Jew hatred, so leftists remain silent.

On January 29, Two Hate Crimes Occurred. The Media Only Covered The Fake One. Here's Why.

On January 29, 2019, Chicago Police opened a hate crime investigation into the alleged assault of Empire actor Jussie Smollett. Smollett, who is black and gay, alleged that two men approached him at 2 a.m.

“None of this has received media attention comparable to the Smollett situation. Why? Because, as the Times also admitted in October, “anti-Semitism bypasses consideration as a serious problem in New York…because it refuses to conform to an easy narrative with a single ideological enemy.” In other words, it doesn’t fit the narrative.”

Brooklyn man shot after yelling 'I want to kill the Jew!'

A man stabbed a 22-year-old student in the face at the Brooklyn HQ of the Chabad-Lubavitch movement before he was shot dead by police.

I have spent lots of time in this very synagogue. This is horrific. I understand that the guy who did this was deranged, but I still believe that the increased acceptance of antisemitism is an element in this.
