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.”

The Jewish population keeps voting for it.

I know your stats claim an official-sounding source, but they look way off to me, not only in the total number of VIOLENT crimes cited - 1.3 MILLION (which seems extremely high) - but in the racial breakdown.

A few months ago, I looked up the FBI hate crimes stats for 2018 (or perhaps it was 2017 - the most recent year available), and there were racial disparities, but not to the degree your stats claim. As I recall, black-on-white murders totaled something like 400-500, and white-on-black murders were approximately half of that. I don't know how your graph is coming up with more than a million interracial "violent crimes."

Maybe the discrepancy is because I only looked at official "hate" crimes, not crimes in general, but that seems like an awful lot of violent crimes for one year, and that is just the ones categorized as "interracial."

The difference between New York City today and 30 years ago, is that 30 years ago there were a lot of older religious white Catholics and liberal Jews who actually believed in the Jewish religion and cared about Israel. All those people are pretty much gone now. The baby boomer white Catholics are non practicing and the Boomer liberal Jews have no Affinity to Judaism and don’t care about Israel.

The more contempt that these big city liberals feel towards religious rural Christians, the more indifferent they’re going to be about violence directed at religious Jews in their midst.

Time for all religious Jews to either move to Red States or go to Israel. They have no allies left in the big cities. Most churches in New York City preach Marxist Liberation theology. And the current pope is just a white Jeremiah Wright.

If Jews in large numbers flee, New York City is through. It will become more depressing than Detroit.

The big city verses the countryside. When a person lives closer to the land that person is more in tune with nature. New York is for removed from the Earth. Separating a person from the Earth may lead to Marxism. See the Marxist in New York. Huge paved-over cities...Marxist. Rural areas...non-Marxist. To create more Marxist...take away the single family houses. Force everyone to live in an apartment building. Collective commununities in the making.

Democrat Anti-Semites like de Blasio aren’t “allowing” Jew haters to flourish.

They openly promote discrimination against, and persecution of, Jews.

Then they give their leftist media talking points to spin their actions by mouthing
tired, empty and meaningless platitudes like “Hate has no place here.... blah, blah, blah.

LIEberals are not allowing antisemitism to flourish, they are embracing it with all their Bigoted little hearts. Socialism is all about envy, greed, hatred and an unreasonable desire to be gods.

Satans children, like their daddy, hate Jews.

It’s a sick cycle: Jewish are slaughtered by leftists/ingrained leftist ideology and the right(specifically “white nationalists”) gets blamed.

Well, culturally African Muslims favor machetes when doing Jihad. I would bet both apply to this madman.

So, it does occur to me that anyone who tries to chop up people in a church with a sword is OBVIOUSLY criminally insane and the judge is liable if he releases said mad man to the streets instead os a mental hospital for observation.

The only reason to not do so, and the only reason to have protected classes for unequal application of the law is to foster an army within to destroy society and enslave us to some new world wide order that President Bush used to brag about and Muslim Obama tried to implement.

When a man sells his soul to Allah, he takes a new slave name. So it’s either President Barry Soetoro, or Imam Obama.
Let’s quit pretending.

They are not my graphics, but here is a source... I should probably make my own, however that is time consuming and cut&paste is so easy!

I noticed an interesting Historical fact one day. The ancient culture of Edom were virulent Jew Haters and lived just over the Jordan river. Haman was from those bloodlines.

When Rome took over Israel they drove all the Edomites into Israel and the Edomites were merged with the Jews. Edom as a separate people ceased to exist.

When the Jews were driven from Israel there is no record of Edomites, everyone claimed to be Jews.

Could it be when the Bible speaks of those who claim to be Jews but are not, that it is speaking of Edomites? The leftist self hating Jews may simply be the remnants of the Edomites who were dispersed into the Diaspora alongside the real Jews.

In fact, many of the attackers are people of color...

Can one not say blacks? American Jews need to realize that the home of anti-Semitism in the United States is liberalism, i.e. the Dem Party.

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.

These crimes don't fit their narrative, so they remain silent.

Quite a reach... I hope they did not let him get away with that unchallenged.

The Romans didn't drive the Edomites into Israel. In 125 BCE, The Hasmonean King John Hyrcanus /the High Priest Yochanan invaded Edom/Idumea and conquered it. He commited the sin of forcible converting the Edomites. The Edomite prince Antipater would convince the Romans to make his half Edomite and half Nabatean son Herod the Ethnarch of Judea, so, it didn't work out well for Jews. The Edomites were Roman collaborators. The JEws who were not Jews, where Edomite Roman collaborators. And they would become Christians.

Hamman was an Amalekite
