A week before Ferguson, Missouri, something else happened…
From Miami, there is still no word on who shot and killed Rabbi Joseph Raksin. The Brooklyn rabbi, 60, father of six children, a leader at New York’s Crown Heights Orthodox Community, was murdered in broad daylight as he was walking to Sabbath services in the neighborhood of Miami-Dade’s Congregation Torah V’Emunah.
Two suspects remain at large. The rabbi’s kin insist that the killing was a hate crime. Police refuse to name it as such. They say it was a robbery gone bad – unlikely on the Sabbath when pious Jews carry no money; information well in hand among inner-city criminals.
At the time of the cold-blooded murder, swastikas appeared at the entrances to Torah V’Emunah. That could be a hint – one would imagine.
The Miami Herald reports: “It is not surprising, thus, that the murder of Rabbi Raksin has sent shudders through the Jewish community in South Florida. Local sensitivities have been heightened by the open displays of anti-Semitism around the world and here at home sparked by the fighting in Gaza.”
In response to the attack upon one of its own, Jews have not rioted.

I’ve read that swastika’s were spray painted near the murder scene. Of course it’s a hate-crime! But we’re back to the 1930’s in this country and only certain groups have civil rights protections.
Notably, responsible tax-paying citizens are not among those which enjoy civil rights protections.
The difference is that many journalists and most leftists hate Jews and quietly celebrated the Rabbi’s murder. They didn’t bother stirring up trouble over a murder they like, although they love instigating riots over self-defense.
Too bad the tough jewish mobsters of the 30’s are gone. My sense is there would have been retribution by now.
Killing a Rabbi certainly sounds like a “civil rights” case. I wonder where hlder and obama could possibly be?
And very little said afterward.
Thank a progressive.
How about the Muslim serial killer that shot a white kid in West Orange NJ in the name of Allah!!!! I can’t believe it’s not national news. Brendan Tevlin’s death has been totally swept under the rug.

Might I point out that all politics is local?
Where were local Jews when any Muslim event occurs?
Where were all local Americans?
Why was not a display of 4 foot by 6 foot poster pictures of Muslims mutilating little girls genitals not displayed, along with that picture of Muslims butchering a very young woman and catching the fountain of blood gushing from her cut throat.
Why are there no Americans holding such pictures in front of every Mosque in America?
Islam is not a religion, it is an organizing document for a war cult.
