The time for feel-good ‘dialogue’ is over.
Virtually every recent stabbing and attack on Jews in New York City
and the metropolitan area has been perpetrated by a black, Hispanic or
sympathizers with jihad. It is time for leaders of those communities to
admit to anti-Semitism within their midst and STOP it. Time for truth
telling. Perpetrators must be punished.
New York's extremely liberal politicians speak about anti-Semitism, but are not using anywhere near the force of law to bring these perpetrators to justice. In fact, we’re hearing that last week's attackers against Jews, who were black or Hispanic, have already been released and are back on the streets.
Much of the hatred against Jewish people is being fueled by jihadist talk, and yet, because of political correctness, authorities are not doing the pre-reconnaissance that common sense dictates.
We have heard the evasive platitudes about ‘extremism’, ‘intolerance’, ‘hate’, but what we are witnessing in these attacks is raw anti-Semitism, specifically against Jews. Call it what it is! New York's liberal politicians want us to believe that this is coming from a climate of ‘extremism’ and ‘white supremacists’, whereas in the metro area it is a Jew-hatred being fomented within the minority communities.
The major Jewish organizations have failed the Jewish community by not calling out or pressuring the minority communities responsible for these attacks. They are wedded to liberalism's clichés and goals and, even now, routinely choose their partnerships with minority communities over the safety of Jewish individuals.
Unfortunately, the Democrat Party knows that the Jewish community will remain an enthusiastic constituency even though the Party is silent while anti-Semitism grows within its midst, as seen with Omar, Tlaib, Ocasio-Cortez and other outspoken members of their caucuses. The Jewish Community is relinquishing its leverage in service to its undying infatuation with liberalism and the Democrat Party.
Many of the policies of the mainstream liberal Jewish organizations are militating against solving this crisis:
People ask: why is there not an outcry over the daily violence against Jews as there would be if the targets were black, Muslim, or LGTB? The answer is that the high-profile mainstream liberal Jewish organizations that often spearhead public outcries when minorities are attacked are far less angered when similar attacks happen against Jews if the perpetrators are from minority groups. If these attackers in the NYC metro area had been white or Christian, the establishment liberal Jewish organizations and political leaders definitely would be howling and using the opportunity to condemn America and its way of life.

Many of the policies of the mainstream liberal Jewish organizations are militating against solving this crisis:
* they have been backers of open borders;Friends: the time for feel-good ‘dialogue’ is over. Jewish organizations must get past worrying more about the sensitivities of other minorities and their leaders over the lives and safety of the Jewish people.
* they have been against necessary vetting of those coming from Muslim countries;
* they are against what they call ‘profiling’;
* they are for ‘bail reform’ leading to immediate release of suspects; and
* they are the first to call ‘racist’ anyone who asks the minority communities to begin fighting the anti-Semitism in their midst.
