Los Angeles, to its credit, appears to have actually listened. I haven’t seen this much of an LAPD presence ever. And the attacks seem to have abated. Meanwhile, Mayor Bill de Blasio in New York City is still riding the police defunding train. And the attacks on Jews are piling up.
Authorities in New York are searching for three suspects believed to be involved in two antisemitic incidents that occurred in Brooklyn over the weekend, according to NBC New York.
The New York Police Department says three men on Saturday began harassing a group of Orthodox Jews who were standing outside of a synagogue in Borough Park.
“Earlier today Orthodox Jews were harassed in front of this Shul [synagogue] on 16th Avenue by a group of males yelling ‘Free Palestine – kill all the Jews,” Assemblyman Simcha Eichenstein tweeted.
“We are hearing of multiple similar incidents that occurred over Shabbos [Sabbath]. These perpetrators must be brought to justice,” he added.
More details are emerging.
Police said roughly 45 minutes later, the same group was suspected of attacking two Jewish teenagers.
The men allegedly made antisemitic statements, punched the victims and then chased them with a baseball bat. One of the attackers put a 17-year-old victim in a chokehold, according to police.
And more of the same.
A 29-year-old Jewish man in New York City claims he was attacked in the Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood for wearing a Star of David necklace, The New York Post reported on Saturday.
“What is that around your neck – does that make you a f**king Zionist?” Tobias claimed the attacker shouted before punching him in the face.
Speaking to The New York Post from his home in Brooklyn, Tobias said “I wasn’t expecting that, walking down the street. It happened before I could react. It was all for nothing – for wearing a necklace.”
This is the defunding city.
Mayor Bill de Blasio visited Borough Park’s 66th Precinct police stationhouse and assured Orthodox leaders that anyone committing hate crimes would be arrested and prosecuted.
“The perpetrators of these incidents will be found,” de Blasio said. “We’ve talked about it in detail. They will be found. They will be prosecuted. They will suffer the consequences.”
The one attacker they’ve caught so far is already out on bail.

“The one attacker they’ve caught so far is already out on bail.”
A-yup. That’s the one who proclaimed that he’s glad he beat the Jew and he’ll do it again when he gets the chance. The NYC judge gave him $10,000 bail. I expect that his friends down at the mosque raised the $1,000 to spring him that afternoon. Ain’t ‘restorative justice’ great?

The Left is encouraging the anti-Semitism. American Jews are afraid to identify themselves as Jewish with so many anti-Semites walking around. It can only be a matter of time before these walking time-bombs do some serious harm. (God defend us from them.)
The Dem party is the de facto ANTI-SEMITIC party. Weakness emboldens terrorists.

Very concerning. There was a time when if a criminal was *openly saying* that he will repeat his crime that he would not even be released on bail.
Infidel says
Maybe empty Judea, Samaria and Gaza of all Palestinians, and bring them to NY? Oh, on the condition that they can’t leave the state for other states in the US – give them a special type of NY-only visa ?
mortimer says
Reply to Infidel … the dirty secret of the Pallies in Gaza and West Bank is that the young people have mostly emigrated. They actually REFUSE to do a census because this secret must be kept so the MONEY KEEPS COMING IN.
The Pally leaders are RACKETEERS as well as terrorists.

Mortimer, how is having these Muslim thugs here a *good thing*? They haven’t left Islam or its appalling “values”–they have brought them with them–as all of these Jewish victims attest.
mortimer says
This is the ATMOSPHERE of WEAKNESS created by the Bribed-man in the White House who is soft on Israel and whose party is now FILLED with anti-Semites.
The Dems are now the anti-Semitic OLIGARCHICAL, AUTHORITARIAN party of America.

This is true, Mortimer–Biden is just emboldening Jihadists.
MS MADELEINE DUNN says
Yes they arrest them in NYC and then send them out into the street again. One guy, of the faithful, even said he was not sorry he would do it again ( of course following the perfect word of the deity) and they sent him out bail free awaiting trial.. and let’s pray he doesn’t kill someone this time.

This would be a perfect opportunity for the Guardian Angels group to step up and provide patrols in jewish areas.
It’s time for the general community to stand up and say No More Anti-Semitism in our community, we will not stand for it.
GreekEmpress says
Isn’t one of the Guardian Angels running for mayor??? Thought I heard that somewhere.
gravenimage says
Yes–and it is the founder of the Guardian Angels, Curtis Sliwa. He’s running as a Republican. I am not an expert on all of his views, but from what I do know he seems like a really good guy.

Muslim Attacks on Jews in New York Continue Despite Empty Talk from Politicians
………………..
Deeply disturbing–and even more so if this is true:
“De Blasio accused of ordering NYPD not to provide protection for pro-Israel demonstrators”
https://jihadwatch.org/2021/05/de-blasio-accused-of-ordering-nypd-not-to-provide-protection-for-pro-israel-demonstrators
It does not seem implausible. If this is true, to what extent would de Blasio even want to prevent attacks against his own Jewish citizens?
