New Jersey Synagogue Firebombed
INN ^ | 1/12/11 | Elad Benari

Posted on 01/11/2012 10:33:18 PM PST by Nachum

Several Molotov cocktails and other incendiary devices were thrown at a northern New Jersey synagogue early Wednesday, The Associated Press reported.

A fire was ignited in the second-floor bedroom of the rabbi’s residence, the report said. Police are treating the attack both a bias crime and attempted murder.

AP noted that Wednesday’s attack on Congregation Beth El in Rutherford was the fourth bias incident within a month against a Jewish religious institution or center in northern New Jersey. Within the last three weeks, a fire was intentionally set at a synagogue in Paramus and anti-Semitic graffiti was discovered at synagogues in Hackensack and Maywood.

“bias crime”?! Well, I guess if you’re a Jew you don’t qualify for the Hate Crime category.

No bias here. /s

Beat me to it!

“BIAS crime”????
If you hate Jews, you’re biased....if you hate anyone else, it’s a “HATE crime.”

The media is America’s WORST enemy.

Outrageous and sickening.

Mercifully, no one was injured.

They were the first ones that came to my mind when I read it. Our courts, our society...we’ve opened that barn door, wide open.

In a way, I hope it’s a Muzzie; it’s a worse sign if our home grown a-holes are feeling their cheerioats.

Yep....I don’t think any of us can even imagine. I hope there’s enough real MEN left to take care of this situation.

Yaknow?

It’s not hatred. I mean, they are Jews! It’s just a little bias, you know... That’s not so bad.

When I was a little girl, my sibs and cousins would go out and play cowboys and indians.

Fun game!

No, of course we don’t. Didn’t you know that a Muslim male can ram a shopping cart into a Jewish girl at a campus anti-Israel protest, injure her so that she has to go to the hospital, and when it goes to court the judge rules it allowable as it is the Muslim’s “Freedom of Speech” ?????

Well, since this is not a hate crime, and now rued a legal manner of expressing one’s “freedom of Speech”... I think 100 Jews with fully loaded shopping carts should attend the next campus anti-Israel rally and gleefully and fully express their “Freedom of Speech” with great relish and vigor.

“bias crime”?!

I noticed that too. It might simply be an artifact of cultural translation, like how the Brits use "row" for scandal. I don't know where the INN is based, but if it's in Israel, it could explain it.

There is another protected class which has strong anti-semitic biases.

Northern NJ is full of wacky Pakis, Bengladeshis and other Islamic riff raff. They own all the gas stations and pump your gas along with a few Sikhs. No self service by law.
