Under Mayor de Blasio’s incompetent leadership, New York City has become unsafe for Jews. If these attacks were occurring against any other ethnic group de Blasio would be calling in the National Guard. Perhaps de Blasio is reluctant to protect New York’s Jewish citizens, out of fear of angering his hard-Left constituents? Or maybe de Blasio is just another Jew-hating Leftist?
Demonstrators call for state of emergency over rising anti-Semitism in NYC
Story continues below advertisementBy Radio.com September 22, 2019:
Dozens of people converged on City Hall Park on Sunday for a rally condemning anti-Semitic attacks that have been increasing dramatically in New York.
Demonstrators slammed politicians, the media and even fellow Jews for not caring more about the hateful incidents.
Former Assemblyman Dov Hikind even called on Mayor de Blasio to take sweeping action to stop the trend.
“I’m asking the mayor to declare a state of emergency here in New York with regard to anti-Semitism,” Hikind said.

The NYPD says anti-Semitic hate crimes are up 63 percent this year compared to 2018 and that more than half of hate crimes committed in New York City are against Jews.
Out of the 290 reported hate crimes this year, 152 were anti-Semitic in nature, according to the NYPD. In 2018, there were 93 anti-Semitic hate crimes.
While the majority of the crimes are acts of vandalism, like scrawled swastikas, there has also been violence, including a 63-year-old Jewish man who was attacked with a brick while running in Brooklyn.
“Attacks on Jews are more numerous than all other racial attacks,” Hikind told demonstrators.
Many at the rally criticized de Blasio for what they say is a lack of interest in the issue and a tendency by the mayor to paint it as a right-wing problem.
Thank you to EVERYONE who took our msg to heart and showed up! And thank you to all the partner orgs who put their time and effort into making this rally against antisemitism a resounding success.
And as long as Jews are being attacked we will never be silent! pic.twitter.com/pptLosMboV

Morton Klein, of the Zionist Organization of America, said politicians care less about attacks on Jews than on other minorities.
“Not only do black lives matter, but Jewish lives matter,” Klein said.
Hikind expressed similar feelings, saying : “When it comes to Jews, Jewish blood seems to be cheap again here in New York.”
The rally took on a partisan tone at times, with radio talk show host Sid Rosenberg and conservative commentator Deneen Borelli praising President Trump and criticizing Democrats.
Borelli said “most of the violent incidents against Jews in New York City are by black men.” The remark prompted another speaker to defend the black community, saying “they don’t want this.”

There should, of course, be a state of emergency to stop the rabid antisemitism perpetrated throughout NYC. It is a given; however, that mullah de Blasio and his Muslim allies and agents will do naught to stifle this antisemitism pandemic in NYC or anywhere in this Republic where Democrat-Nazis are the overlords, despots.
Just like in the UK Ziggy.
3500 miles and 7 hours apart and where is the difference ?
Exactly, Poppey, but many Americans are clueless or in a state of denial. It is a positive, however, that people are reacting and demanding that those promoting and enabling anti-Semitism to face indictment as do the alleged Islamophobes. I hope you and yours are well.
Hate to say this Ziggy, but I wonder how many of the Jewish protesters voted for Di Blasio in the first place. Hearts can change, but an acknowledgment of error must also occur.
Ironically, Mark, I was just watching a documentary where Holocaust survivors were interviewed. Not unlike these protesters, how many of these survivors continue to vote for the Democratic Party of Jew-hatred. Those of us even a smidgen to the political right are deemed Fascists by many whether Jewish, Christian or an atheist.
We will move forward with these hate-filled brandings against good character and wear them as badges of honor, Ziggy. No shame standing up for right.
He looks a great deal like his brother Fredo. Except, he doesn’t seem to wear as much hair gel.
Check out this speaker https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=3677274328965426&id=100000486840150
That demonstration is what is needed because there are enough Jewish people in that place to redress the balance when some are motivated enough.
Non of us can outrun the shadow of Islamic expansion confronting us all, neither Jew or gentile, so it’s not fight or flight, it’s fight and prevail because anything else is unthinkable.
Well said, Poppey.
Why do Jews always demand someone else protect them? Get a gun and carry it and use it. Buy it out of state. Ignore the law. The law is against you. Make thugs afraid to abuse Jews. Learn karate. It works. The Jews need a mental and moral emergency in their own minds. Jewish boys must be raised to be wimps and cowards. Better change how kids get raised. Apparently, it is against their religion to defend themselves or hurt thugs and all laws must be obeyed even at the cost of their lives.
NO, it’s not against our religion, and Jewish boys are not “raised to be wimps and cowards”. Learn the history. Read about Mosada, Hagana, Meir Kahane, Jewish heroes of WW2 who delibarated Europe shoulder to shoulder with the other soldiers and shut up, antisemitic loser. Go and wash your dirty mouth before you start to put mud on Jews. Get lost anitisemetic cretin!
Oh, so you’re acting like a Muslim now? Claiming antisemitism when presented by a known fact? Just because SOME Jews actually fight, doesn’t mean that the big majority aren’t squalid cowards! Sorry, but it IS time for Jews to FIGHT BACK!! We can’t carry the weight of the World, we need ALLIES in fighting Muslims, not DEAD WEIGHT!
I encourage the demonstrations to continue, I encourage boycotts against those who openly attack Jews, and lastly, I encourage physical defense if you’re threatened to your face.
We, as the civilized world CAN BEAT THIS, but we must UNITE.
Clearly he was pointing the finger at the vast majority of American Jews who for the past 60 years have tolerated and cowered to urban terrorism. With the exception of Meir Kahane and JDL (very small group) many years ago, most American Jews have responded to violence by fleeing to the safety of affluent suburban ghettos.
Israelis on the other hand are a completely different breed of Jew. They can and do defend themselves and have been since 1948.
Two populations. Very different mentalities. If I was betting man, I’d put my money on Israel. The naive post-war Jews of Europe convinced themselves that they would be safe and yet again they are being forced to flee the Islamo-Nazis invading Europe and Scandinavia. If the Left gains significant power in America, the future for American Jews will be equally bleak.
I have to wonder if it would’ve been better if Bar Kochba had surrendered rather than force a fight to the death he couldn’t win or maybe negotiated some sort of peace deal.
I guess at these times the most important things were not just “some sort of peace deal”, but the dignity and the national pride. BTW they would never be able to make a deal with their savage enemies. It would not fly. They all will be murdered, raped and taken to slavery.
The Roman empire did consist of immoral degenerates so you might be right but the Romans were always materialistic and Israel did represent a large chunk of Rome’s tax income. I’d imagine Rome made more money off of Israel than they did in all of Northwestern Europe put together.
Borelli said “most of the violent incidents against Jews in New York
City are by black men.” The remark prompted another speaker to defend
the black community, saying “they don’t want this.”
Bwahahahahahahahaha, the evidence would seem to refute that allegation.
Has the worm already turned in NYC? Will it be a Malmo, Swedenistan?
Good for those who are showing the courage to stand up and speak out against the scourge of divisiveness that is affecting this nation. We need more of it. To allow hate against a people who have contributed to humanity is heart breaking. The conduct of the anti-Semites is without justification, and I suspect it might be the failure of our media and leaders to denounce the Islamic poison that is a trigger of these acts of malice, that may be part of the reason for the hurt being directed at the Jewish world. They must also stand up and reject those who speak their hate. Until that happens, we are allowing a world of hurt to overwhelm our great country.
Where is Charles Bronson when we need him?
Super heroes & heroines apply, to the Jewish Defense League.
Bowling is soo much fun – Set them up – knock them down.Everyone can bowl – so many opportunities.
Everyone has a right to defend themselves & under the law of necessity one can do whatever is necessary
to preserve one’s life, their family, community, et al.
DiBlasio is an enabler & is guilty of WAR CRIMES & treason against the good people of New York.
Bill intentionally left his post as mayor to tour the U.S. & is NOT the worst NYC Mayor in history.
In his absence the WAR began – NEVER AGAIN!!!
Screw Diblaso.
If you can’t identify the problem (i.e. f’ing muslums) you’ll never find any workable solution (i.e. mass deportation).
Agree. We need our General Charles de Goul. He deported these dirt within 2 days from France in the 60’s.
I hope you are aware of this story.
He was a brilliant man and a real patriot of France. The whole civilized world needs such a great leadership
He’s been planning the deportation of
their muzrats, who terrorized the whole country during the whole decade after WW2. They arrived to France from her former colonies Alger and Tunisia. And the situation in France got out of control (does it sound familiar?). He found the fantastic solution. I admire this man.
There was a unit of the French Foreign Legion that went rogue over DeGaulle’s surrender of Algeria and did try to assassinate DeGaulle.
I didn’t know DeGaulle deported muslums from France though. I have to admire him for that!
