How liberals are allowing anti-Semitism to flourish
New York Post ^ | December 29, 2019 | Karol Markowicz

Anti-Semitic attacks continue to shake our city and state. Last week, eight attacks — including four in just in 48 hours — sent a familiar shockwave rippling through the Jewish community. Then Saturday came the horrific stabbing in Monsey, New York. The poison of Jew-hatred is spreading.

Like many of you, I’m thinking, “Not this subject again.” How many columns can be devoted to it? I’ve read them. I’ve written them. It’s exhausting, and it’s dreary. Jews are being beaten up, anti-Semitism flows some years and ebbs in others. So what?

But it matters — gravely.

Mayor de Blasio released his usual by-the-numbers statement. “Hate doesn’t have a home in our city,” he tweeted. But hate does have a home here, and it has found it while Hizzoner has mostly looked away.

The mayor added: “In light of recent anti-Semitic attacks, the NYPD will increase their presence in Borough Park, Crown Heights and Williamsburg.” But the recent attacks have spread to Midtown Manhattan and Gravesend, Brooklyn. The problem has gotten worse while inaction paralyzed the mayor.

I first wrote about the uptick in May. The reason the city’s liberal political class was ignoring it, I ­argued, is that the criminals don’t fit their picture of Evil Bigots. They aren’t, for the most part, MAGA-hat wearing white guys with tiki torches. In fact, many of the attackers are people of color, as investigative reporting by Tablet’s Armin Rosen and others has shown.

Imagine if they were white ­nationalists. How much faster would the mayor and other city leaders have taken action?

“A lot of folks were told it was unacceptable to be anti-Semitic,” de Blasio said in May. “It was ­unacceptable to be racist, and now they’re getting more permission.”

Hizzonor didn't feel the same way earlier this year when he went after the same people of Monsey because they dared to not vaccinate.

Mr. de Blasio has issued a public health emergency for four ZIP codes in Brooklyn where ultra-Orthodox Jews live. That decision appeared to have earned him the ire of Rabbi Handler, who described Mr. de Blasio as a “sneaky fellow” and a closet German — “Wilhelm, his real name, was named after Kaiser Wilhelm of Germany.” ...

It isn’t merely Anti-Semitism, it’s every form of violation of fundamental human dignity. Including those the targeted populations tolerate. It wasn’t immigrant Jews who were responsible for either Margaret Sanger’s targeting them with Birth Control Dispensaries in their neighborhoods, or their descendants giving into the bribe of temporary prosperity if they would sodomitically limit their births by killing their children. But it was the fault of slave women that they decided to smother their children so they wouldn’t grow up to be slaves who, however, at least had the prospect of someday becoming free, if only they were allowed to have life. And it is the fault of bogus-liberals that they choose to play God by failing to uphold fundamental human dignity in exchange for the illusory goods of the world, all the while pawning their eternal destiny as high moral agents with the responsibility to uphold eternal values.

Allowing? They are encouraging and even perpetrating it. Left wingers are the biggest anti-semites in the world. The so-called Jews of the left aren’t religious Jews, they are by and large atheist marxists. Religious Jews are almost always conservative. The ONLY frost the Jew has is the conservative American Christian. It’s time these two form a tighter and more solid bond as both are under assault in modern America.

It's one thing when he looks away but it's another when he distracts people's attention from it. Doing so makes him the architect.

GUNS are the only solution. (Assassinated) Rabbi Meir Kahane said it best decades ago: “To every Jew, a .22”. Liberals made him public enemy #1, and only a handful of Jews listened. They need to buy tens of thousands of guns (larger than .22 of course) and refuse to obey NYC gun laws. There is no other solution. Once these Black Nazis start dropping like flies, the message will be sent, and the attacks will stop cold.

Today on the headlines of the NY Post was story of a black woman who was released without bail after attacking Jews on a subway. This is the new rule as per Cuomo and DeBlasio, no more bail.

Then this attack happens with 5 Jews being attacked with a machete and right away here comes DeBlasio and Cuomo acting shocked.

These guys are as phony as 7 dollar bill.

“Bail reform is setting suspects free after string of anti-Semitic attacks”

https://nypost.com/2019/12/28/suspects-released-without-bail-after-shocking-attacks-on-jews/

“Rockland County stabbing: Thomas Grafton identified as suspect “

https://nypost.com/2019/12/29/rockland-county-stabbing-thomas-grafton-identified-as-suspect/

Let’s see if he gets no bail as well

Democrats are guilty of anti-Semitism, they are quite simply nihilistic.
They are simply the most destructive force to human society there has ever been.

I’ve read in other articles about these recent attacks that the perps arrested were quickly let out on bail due to soft NY judges and prosecutors. That is not the way to handle these criminal and hateful acts.

Even the author pussy foots around calling out the perps. Just say it! Call a spade a spade!!! Blacks and muslims are attacking Jews and have been downright encouraged and enabled by electing leaders who share their views (AOC, Talib, DeBlasio, Omar.........) I cant think of one MAGA hat wearing perp!

My personal opinion is that in the Western world antisemitism is the canary in the coal mine with respect to totalitarian trends.

If one has read Walker Percy, the rising tide of anti-Semitism is no surprise - just the first overt consequences of a culture of death fostered by modern secular leftism. From Percy’s “Thanatos Syndrome” (1987), in which Father Smith, a failed, somewhat addled priest is speaking to an old friend, Dr. Thomas More:

“You are a member of the first generation of doctors in the history of medicine to turn their backs on the oath of Hippocrates and kill millions of old useless people, unborn children, born malformed children, for the good of mankind - and to do so without a single murmur from one of you. . . . Do you know what is going to happen to you?”

” . . . ‘Oh’, he said absently, appearing to be thinking of something else ‘you’re going to end up killing Jews’ “

The biggest anti-Semites are the left wing, self loathing Jews here in the USA. George Soros is one of the biggest anti-Semites ever.

Where is the Southern Poverty Law Center? What about the Anti Defamation League? Human Rights International, etc. These are left wing organizations, all run by self hating Jews.

Self hating Jews Atheists Marxist. These word combinations are difficult to comprehend. Sort of like humanized pretzeling of incoherent insanity. And there are a whole bunch of them around. Sometimes I think that the term Never Again leads a Jewish person to be a Marxist in order to be a friend of the Marxist who wants to kill Jews. The non- Jewish Marxist will (supposedly) not kill a Jew if the Jew is a Marxist. Comprehending insanity is not an exact science. I may or may not have insight concerning self-loathing Atheist Marxist Jews.

I read that book in my undergrad days; the quote that stands the most s the rest of Father Smith’s conversation with Dr. Moore: “Tenderness leads to the gas chamber. Tenderness is the first guise of the murderer.”

When love is not rooted in God, it leads to murder.
