It’s tough to be Jewish in the blue states these days. I invite my Jewish friends to sunny South Carolina where although I see less Jews than I did in NY, I see much more tolerance and support for Judaism and Israel.
At least a lot more than in Suffolk County where police are looking for tips in identifying a vandal or vandals who are responsible for “bias graffiti” on a local Jewish center:
Crime Stoppers and the Suffolk County Police Hate Crimes Unit are asking for the public’s help in identifying and locating the person(s) responsible for defacing a building with bias graffiti.
Sometime between 9:00 PM, Saturday August 16, and 8:50 AM, Sunday August 17, 2008 unknown person(s) spray painted hateful messages on the side of Dix Hills Jewish Center, 555 Vanderbilt Pkwy., Dix Hills.
Anyone with information about this crime is asked to call Crime Stoppers at
1-800-220-TIPS. All calls will be kept confidential and the caller will be eligible for a cash reward of up to $5000.00 for information that leads to an arrest.
I have my suspicions as to what sort of people police will find responsible but I’ll keep an open mind. Hate crimes against Jews are on the rise largely due to the anti-Semitism now fashionable on the left. When I lived in The Bronx I saw many young people, often indoctrinated in the public schools, who were completely brainwashed into thinking Jews ran the world and Israel was some sort of continuation of Nazi Germany. Adalah-NY is one of the main purveyors of that bigotry.
Anti-Semitic graffiti is nothing new, and if you’re in New York visit a Jewish cemetery some time and the amount of vandalism you’ll find will shock you. The left is pushing this country into a very dark place with their anti-Jewish rhetoric.
Rob Taylor,
I think you might be right. I have a feeling this was done by an Islam-o-Fascist, but at this point it could have just as easily been committed by a Neo Nazi. So we don’t know and we shouldn’t jump to conclusions. But whoever did this, for what ever reason, I hope the police catch him or her. Even if this turns out to be some sick freak’s idea of a joke, it is not funny.
More detail from The Jewish Week:
And apparently this synagogue has been targeted more than once in recent weeks.
I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again. I saw more instances of hate crimes living in New Jeresy than I ever did living in the south.
You ain’t kidding. I heard more strangers bad mouthing Jews/Blacks etc in the north east than down here. And I’ve seen a total of four confederate flags in the year I’ve lived here.
The perpetrator could also be a black Marxist, not just a white neo-Nazi or a Islamo-Fascist thug. The New Black Panthers, along with the Nation of Islam are both known to collaborate quite openly with Marxist and anti-Semitic groups. As well as fronts affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood.
mah29001,
Good call, I didn’t think of that.
That is a good point. The New Black Panthers had kind of fallen of my radar.
Also remember, Al Sharpton, who has affiliation with other “civil rights” leaders whom are linked to black Marxist groups was responsible for agitating a riot encouraging his supporters to allegedly target New York Jews, and also break into their shops.
Sharpton, is also a close friend of Jesse Jackson, and has also been promoting groups affiliated with the Nation of Islam.
