New York mayor condemns ‘outrageous attacks’ on Jews as near-daily assaults continue
2022-09-20
[IsraelTimes] Mayor Eric Adams says antisemitism ‘won’t be tolerated’ after woman strikes Haredi man on sidewalk, as community members call for stiffer punishments against assailants.
Of course it is being tolerated, Herr Mayor. If it were not tolerated, the miscreants would be immediately hunted down and arrested, tried, convicted, and jailed. Instead they are released without bail even more quickly than they are arrested, if anyone even bothers to arrest them. But Brooklyn DA Eric Gonzalez far prefers releasing criminals to jailing them.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams
...retired New York City police captain, member of the New York State Senate, first Black Brooklyn borough president, law and order Dem after a brief fling with the Publicans. The New York Times isn't fond of him, suspecting he may not actually be black...
 on Sunday condemned attacks on Jews as near-daily assaults on community members continued, drawing calls for more US government action.

"These outrageous attacks on our Jewish community won’t be tolerated, not in our city," Adams said in response to a video showing a woman striking a Jewish man.

The video posted by Boro Park Shomrim, a neighborhood watch group, showed the woman pursuing an ultra-Orthodox man down a city sidewalk, screaming at him. She then swatted off his kippah and shtreimel, a traditional hat worn by Haredi men on Shabbat and holidays.

Boro Park Shomrim said the woman had been arrested.



"We will keep our streets safe," Adams said, thanking police for "their quick response to these acts of anti-Semitic hatred."

New York State Governor Kathy Hochul said, "Acts of antisemitism are abhorrent and unacceptable."

"Hate crimes will not be tolerated in New York, and we’ve strengthened our laws to further hold perpetrators accountable," Hochul said.
Unenforced laws do more harm than a lack of laws on the subject altogether.
The American Jewish Committee, Anti-Defamation League, US House Representative Jerry Fester Bestertester Nadler
...the Dem New York representative-for-life who stepped whole from a Don Martin drawing in the pages of Mad® magazine, head of the House Judiciary Committee...
 and local politicians also condemned the attack.
How nice of them. Anyone doing anything to seriously punish the criminals?
A nearly identical incident also occurred in Boro Park earlier this week when a man riding a bicycle knocked the hat off of a Jewish man on a street.

Jews are consistently the group most targeted in hate crimes in New York City on an annual basis, in per capita and absolute terms, with the Anti-Defamation League reporting a record-high number of incidents last year. The NYPD has confirmed 149 anti-Jewish hate crimes between the start of the year and June 28, representing an incident every 29 hours on average. The attacks range from violent mostly peaceful assaults to racial slurs and property damage, and many more likely go unreported. In August, the NYPD reported 24 anti-Jewish hate crimes, far more than against any other group and a 118-percent jump over the same month last year.

Many of the attacks target visibly identifiable Jews and Jewish targets in Brooklyn. Haredi communities in the area are also feeling under attack due to an uproar over secular education in the yeshiva religious school system,
... the yeshivas are in the wrong on this one, and need to get over themselves...
with some community leaders warning the issue could stoke further antisemitism.

Most of the attacks do not result in serious punishment, drawing the ire of Jewish advocates who have demanded changes to bail laws that could lead to harsher repercussions for assailants.

Late last month, police announced two arrests for suspected hate crimes against Jews, as Brooklyn community leaders praised police, called for bail reform and said the community was "terrified." Police also said they would step up patrols around synagogues.

On Thursday, US House Representative Ritchie Torres called on the FBI
...Formerly one of the world's premier criminal investigation organizations, something for a nation to be proud of. Now it's a political arm of the Deep State oligarchy that is willing to trump up charges, suppress evidence, or take out insurance policies come election time...
 and the US attorney general to investigate New York’s response to antisemitism, highlighting the low number of serious punishments for anti-Jewish hate crimes.

"The federal government can no longer stand by passively as antisemitic violence goes unchecked and unpunished in America’s largest city," said Torres, a Democrat who represents New York’s 15th Congressional district in the Bronx and is a firm supporter of Jewish communities and Israel.

In a rare case, a US federal court charged a pro-Paleostinian activist muppet with a hate crime after he beat a Jewish man on the sidelines of a protest in Manhattan in April. An investigation found the defendant had attacked two other Jews in unprovoked assaults last year.
That’s Saadah Masoud, 28, of Brooklyn, BBA from Baruch College and enjoying a sparkling career as a hotel bellboy, in his free time a Within Our Lifetime (WOL) leader with multiple arrests for threatening and attacking Jews, whom he sometimes figleafs with the label of Zionists. This time he put his target in the hospital in April, then was released on bail the same day he was arrested by the feds in June. Supposedly he is under house arrest until his next hearing.
In some of the other incidents in the past week, a Jewish man was punched in the face repeatedly in an unprovoked attack in Queens; Nazi graffiti was sprayed on a fountain in Manhattan; and a Jewish woman was shot with a BB gun in Brooklyn.

#34  Moslems! How many timesdo I havta tell youguys? It's dirty tribal moslemnicious afri-cans and ass scratching islami mohammedoons? Always!

If the Jews ever traded slaves it musta been because the moslems were pushing 'em as a viable product around the world!

More than half the problems with the world wouldn't be there if the moslems weren't there! Humanity has been crippled ever since the Christians lost the goddamn holy war and shamelessly went on to preach secularity.

Moslems!! They have everybody wasting time and money and resources on them and give humanity nothing but constant heartache! With moslems all dead or xinjianged and their fucking i-slam buried, mankind could probably have reached the stars by now.

And what's this nonsense about Ishmael that keeps popping up? Ishmael has nothing to do with anything. That ass Josephus pitched the half baked idea that Ishmael may be the root of A-rabs. Lazy seminarian preachers and fools pushing their ideas as revelation! And probably deferring to... That's right! Moslems! Moslems hugging the pope! Moslems in houses of commons! Moslems with their fucking fucketty fcuk mosques!

Maybe the globalists will rid us of them. Once they've swept aside this goddamn democracy thing. Human rights means nothing to them anyway. They see the moslem as a tool. It's globalists or china alone against the dirt. Nobody else seems to get it. Yaaagh! Slavery! Why can't people get over the fact that they're also a commodity? A 35 year old still paying off some college loan and just starting alimony is a slave! A guy with a nice empowering uniform ordered to fire on his own nationalist countrymen, to lock them up... he's a slave! People will always be slaves to something. Banks are slavers, gummints are slavers. What's to get so het up about? So once some businessmen dealt in indentured servants. Big fucking deal!

It's moslems actually rounding up humans and herding them with their necks in chains and selling them for use 'n waste. And they're doing it today! Everybody quit the historic boo hoo hoo and go sl@y some moslems!!

Or they could look it up, and see it was the golden age for North African slave roundups in the Mediterranean and Arabian slave roundups on the Horn of Africa. The Americans and Polynesians were having their fun too.

The 1619 people are Oedipal wannabes who purposefully make themselves blind in order to garner sympathy.

#28  the 1420 Project

Do you mean the 1619 Project, swksvolFF? The one pushed by the New York Times as a rewrite of American history centered on the arrival of the first African slave to our shores in that year? Or perhaps you are referring to the 1620 Project, in which pretty much the entirety of American history experts, from left to right, united to explain exactly how wrong the 1619 Project was?

#25  Just because someone thinks more quickly than you, Sonny de Medici5342, does not make their conclusions fallacious. Sometimes it just makes them smarter and more knowledgeable.

Africans are still hunting down other other Africans to sell for profit. Nor is it only Africans — google slavery in Mali or slavery in Mauritania or slavery in Saudi Arabia. Some of the Chibok girls kidnapped from their Nigerian boarding school by Boko Haram in 2014 will never be returned to their families because they were sold to rich Muslims in the Middle East and beyond; many girls stolen by ISIS in Iraq and Syria were sold similarly — to jihadi groups, other people’s children are a cash crop. There are no Jews involved in any of this, but no one accuses African-Americans of hating Muslims. Clearly, the claim of Black hatred of Jewish slave sellers as the reason for this sudden rash of attacks is not merely fallacious but false on its fqce.

As for Blacks hating Jews in general, partly it is erasing the Jewish history of support for Black rights in this country, and partly it is just an easy bigotry, with 2.5 millennia of lies to provide all the excuses anyone could need — starting with the ancient Greeks. And of course, everyone assumes Jews are easy targets who won’t hit back, a characteristic beloved of bullies everywhere.

Which explains why Blacks, Hispanics, whites, and Middle Eastern-descent Muslims have been caught on video attacking Jews in America over the past few years, and also attacking Asians and elderly whites. To blame it only on African-Americans and cite only Jews as victims shows either racism or ignorance of the facts.

Exactly right. The disconnect between words (sometimes meant, sometimes not) and actions has not been this wide since the days of the Pharisees.

#20  Chattel slavery was (is?) practiced in the Orient. My Brother had a Japanese Sensei that had been sold to a Karate dojo as a child ...pre WW2, but that illustrates that 'people selling people' is a worldwide phenomena. In China it was common for slaves 'servants' to be contracted for life and have their children follow them in 'service'.

Wow. Did I miss something? What does that even mean? What substance does your argument have? Sources, please.

And even if a handful of Jews invested in some of these companies some three or four hundred years ago it doesn't justify violence in the streets against modern day Jews. I've heard that Arabs got into that business as well...

You can whistle past the graveyard if you want, but the discovery of the slave ship financing is what is powering the black-on-Jewish anti-Semitic attacks in New York.

#5  Uh huh. Sonny, that's Anti-Jooo propaganda, and not even new shit (1992).
To the Editors of The Crimson:

Throughout Leonard Jeffries' speech last Wednesday, he reiterated a call to the audience: "Be prepared." He told students to form study groups, for "the truth has to be heard." I and several others did precisely that before his visit. We spent hours pouring over his Albany speech, and over dusty books in Widener.

In particular, we sought to find out the truth about Jewish involvement in the slave trade. At Albany, Jeffries said that rich Jews financed the slave trade: "We have the names, we know who they were, what they were, what they controlled. We know when they set up the Dutch East India Company, the Dutch West India Company, the Portuguese company, the Brazilian company."

I'll take the charges one at a time. The Dutch East India Company did not deal in the slave trade. As for the "Portuguese company" and the "Brazilian company," I can only assume Jeffries meant the Brazil Company, founded by Portugal to attract Jews. It too did not deal in slavery. Of the four, only the Dutch West India Company did in fact deal in the slave trade. Of the company's 3,000,000 florins in original capital, Jews contributed only 36,000, or 1.2 percent. In 1656, seven of 167 major shareholders were Jews; in 1671, ten of 192.

When I confronted Jeffries with these facts last Wednesday, Jeffries seemed shocked. First he insisted that the Dutch West India Company did deal in slavery--that is, he didn't listen to my question. The moderater intervened to make Jeffries answer my question.

Jeffries explained that the Jews had invested secretly in the company--another Jewish conspiracy. In between killing Christian babies and plotting to take over the world, these remarkable Jews found the time to invest secretly in the slave trade!

Dr. Jeffries, I would like to see your documentation--I've read the books you named, and they don't support your claims. You said I wasn't serious about my scholarship because I've never received a half million dollar grant. If you are reading this, Dr. Jeffries, I challenge you to offer me a position doing research. Dr. Jeffries, I am serious about my scholarship; are you?

#1  Usually they keep this kind of thing under wraps. Setting the black community against Jews isn't in their interest. Notice how race isn't mentioned at all, but it's definitely the blacks doing this. It's because of links shared on social media - they found out who owned the slave ships.
