Hate Crimes Are Skyrocketing in NYC and the Media, For Some Reason, are Subdued to the Point of Silence

The reason is simple: The victims are Jews, who the left now considers to be near or at the bottom of the "Progressive Stack" and not worthy of defending from unprovoked street attacks, and the perpetrators are by blacks and Hispanics, who are at or near the top of the Progressive Stack and therefore cannot be criticized, even if they're knocking out a minority group for no reason except that they're Jews.

David Marcus of The Federalist explains, and admits he's shied away from discussing this plainly himself (as many of us have):

Imagine that members of a religious minority were being frequently physically assaulted in America’s largest city at alarming rates. Imagine if members of that minority were being cold-cocked or spit on randomly for doing nothing more than being who they are and dressing how they dress. Imagine what a powerful and important story this would be to our country, how mobilized the media and government would be to stop it. But what if I told you that this is happening in New York City right now, and nobody seems to care very much? How can this be? I'll explain it.

Orthodox Jews in New York City, specifically in Brooklyn, have experienced alarming rates of physical assault over the past year. The New York Police Department says that hate crimes in the city are up 67 percent this year. Of those, a whopping 80 percent have been anti-Semitic hate crimes. Just this week an Orthodox Jew just walking down the street was attacked from behind, punched in the head by an attacker who then ran away. In another incident this week, an Orthodox Jew was attacked by a group of men, one of whom shouted "You (expletive) Jew."


This is an all too familiar story in Brooklyn these days, and there is a reason it isn’t being treated as a crisis by our media or government. That reason is that many if not most of the assailants are black or Hispanic men. In an article in The New York Times last October that was careful to point out, although without much evidence, that people of all descriptions are committing acts of anti-Semitism, Ginia Bellafante writes (emphasis mine), "In fact, it is the varied backgrounds of people who commit hate crimes in the city that make combating and talking about anti-Semitism in New York much harder."

We should be clear about what this means. It means that if these assaults were being committed by white men in hoods or MAGA hats, it would not be "hard to talk about." It would be a clear-cut case of bigotry that needs to be fought with every tool in our arsenal. Instead, journalists are wringing their hands about intersectionality, and careful not to indulge the narrative that these physical attacks are coming from blacks and Hispanics in bordering neighborhoods, even though that narrative is absolutely true.

I know this because I have done it myself. Back in February I wrote about these attacks and I wrote some things that I now regret and want to apologize to the Orthodox community for. I wrote that Orthodox Jews are a "strange set of neighbors," and their insular ways lead to tension in communities. In retrospect, and through some Orthodox Jews who reached out to me, I see that this was not acceptable, that in fact, I was in some way blaming these Jews for their own assaults.

Just as bad, I was making excuses for these attackers, trying to a find a far more nuanced take than I ever would if the assailants were white men. Even as someone who writes often about race double standards in the media, I fell straight into the trap. I found it "hard to talk about" without placing some blame on both sides.

The New Rules say we have to bust out our Progressive Stack Slide-Rules now to determine which hate attacks are actually hate-hate attacks and which hate attacks are just Desperate Cries for Justice from an Oppressed, and Yet Hateful, Minority.

But if it's a white guy, yeah, that's Real Hate.

and look, honestly, this is a thing for all city dwellers - but of course it will be worse for the Hasids. I'd imagine if Amish people walked around Philly the yoots would have some fun with them, too.

which is not to say there's not anti-Semitism there, there probably is in some cases. but some it's just "look at that weirdly dressed person let's attack him for fun"

42 I have come to believe that a lot of Jews simply like being persecuted (though as a whole -- not individually on the street). It's what they know. I guess it makes them feel closer to God.

69 The only way the media would bring this up is if one of these attacks was carried out by some white southern tourist wearing a maga hat. They could then report the story and trot out the statistics of the increasing number of attacks against Jews and the percent change over the past year. By omitting the inconvenient fact that every other one of these attacks in the past year were committed by people of color, they would thus insinuate that all the attacks were perpetrated by white trump supporters.

I went to NYC a month after 9/11. It was completely different. Eye contact was met with a nod or a "hi" or some other greeting.

It appears they're back to being assholes again because NYC.

And the Orthodox and their allies are some of the strongest supporters of Bibi Netanyahu, and they make up a much larger proportion of the Israeli electorate than they do of the American Electorate.

107 For a long time, conservatives have been clucking their tongues about European anti-semitism, and insisting its presence meant the continent would fall to the caliphate.

Well, now America is going the same way. The Democrat Party was always much more likely to Corbynize, because American minorities have zero reason to feel the slightest guilt about the Holocaust. And there are a lot more minorities, proportionally, than you find in Europe.

That said... the Orthodox have learned lessons from the Israeli experience. Either they will make aliyah, or get ready to defend themselves. They certainly won't just be victims.

I mean Jews for Trump ... they don't have to abide by the law, just abide by "liberty for all". I don't care about the orthodox part, except those seem to be the ones supporting Trump and American style Liberty. So of course they get attacked for being part of the "wrong group".


We Gentiles that believe in American Style liberty get attacked as well, but we wear the red hats to be identified, and Trump supporters don't wear those much in NY or DeepBlue hate zones. Orthodox Jews have more trouble hiding I guess ... or are brave enough to not hide.

Because it's tougher to change your attire than your race, I guess. So be on the lookout for a man wearing a t-shirt and jeans.

Oh. OK.

166 The closest analogs to Orthodox Jews around here in the turrible ol' raysis South are the communities of Old Order Amish a few miles north in Tennessee. The people there, including law enforcement there, are very protective of the Amish. The fastest way to get yourself put under the jail is to mess with their Amish.

The same doesn't seem to be true with Orthodox Jews in New York.

"look, honestly, this is a thing for all city dwellers - but of course it will be worse for the Hasids. I'd imagine if Amish people walked around Philly the yoots would have some fun with them, too.

The New Yorkers I met on my short visit in the fall of 1998 were not rude, just involved in their own problems. They were perfectly willing to help a stranger if it didn't cost them any money. My hostess and I were on a Third Avenue bus, in the dark and the rain, and she wondered aloud where we should get off for the crosstown bus. A grumpy-looking fellow in one of those English driving caps I saw everywhere spoke up and gave us brief instructions. We thanked him, followed the instructions, and found our bus without trouble.

She also claimed that while the racism in the South has gradually faded, she thought it had gotten worse up North.

Smart lady.

I noticed that in the 1980s, and it has gotten even better in the South and even worse in the Northeast and CA.

I'll take race relations as defined by the states below the Mason-Dixon line ANY DAY over how it is conducted by the employees of the NY Times and the Boston Globe.

236 How much of the "rude, I'm not getting involved" reputation of New Yorkers stems from the kinda bogus Kitty Genovese story?

237 How much of the "rude, I'm not getting involved" reputation of New Yorkers stems from the kinda bogus Kitty Genovese story?

It was symbolic. Sometimes people claim something as their rallying cry, but the real issue was elsewhere. Actually that happens all the time.

See also: Drogheda. When cities don't surrender they get burned and citizens get killed. Them's the rules of 17th-century war. The real issue was that Cromwell had killed and was killing many thousands of Irish who weren't in that doomed city.

Drogheda was a McGuffin - and so was Kitty Genovese. In that case the issue was a crime wave in NYC that nobody was talking about much.

240 113 Orthodox Jews are conservative right?

Posted by: Lurking Lurker at May 13, 2019 05:00 PM (FiUMj)

Modern Orthodox tend to be. Hasidim...less so.
Posted by: CharlieBrown'sDildo at May 13, 2019 05:02 PM (wYseH)

It depends on which Chassidic group. They're all culturally conservative but some of the sects, like that Satmar in New Square, NY, will make deals with politicians and then the group votes en masse for those pols. I think they ended up voting for Hillary when she ran for the Senate. That's pure political horsetrading, not much ideology involved. Most Chabad/Lubavicher Chassidim are politically conservative, it seems to me.

I can tolerate a lot of people who are wrong and work with them on common ground.

I don't have a problem with Christians preaching to me but Jews For Jesus are intellectually dishonest. They give christological interpretation to elements of Judaism that are traced to the Pharisees. They can't say that the rabbis have put a veil over the Jews' eyes and then turn around and say rabbinic practices are in fact deep with Christian meaning.

242 I used to live a neighborhood near Crown Heights, which is ground zero of where most of this takes place. The unspoken truth is that the assaulters are, for the most part, Carribeans.

This group in the 80s and 90s (thanks to a radical shift in our immigration politics) came to think of large swaths of Brooklyn as "theirs" and anyone who did live, or tries to live in the neighborhood is seen as an "interloper" or "gentrifier."

They have also been fed a steady diet of resentment politics for a full generation : from the times of good 'ol Al Sharpton and Mayor Dinkins (remember Crown Heights "riots" /pogroms anyone?) through the Obama years that saw a high-profile legitimization of the worst kind of resentment politics, and today we have unreconstructed socialism making a comeback with the Bernie's, the AOCs etc.

So you have a mix of "traditional" Brooklyn red diaper baby radicalism on racial-grievance steroids and enabled by a generation of lowlife demagogues: all superimposed on a group that is disproportionately poor, uneducated and violent.

And, they share a neighborhood with a very insular, very identifiable group of higher income, higher-education Orthodox, who generally don't make it a secret that they don't hold their other neighbors in very high regard. And frankly I don't blame them. That doesn't excuse the violence of course, but there it is.

243 "They can't say that the rabbis have put a veil over the Jews' eyes and then turn around and say rabbinic practices are in fact deep with Christian meaning."

it depends on the practice and on which rabbis. I know just enough of the Mishnah to be annoying, but from that I did notice some Mishnaic comments that ended up in the Gospel. (John Crossan noticed too.) also noticed lots of rabbis arguing with each other.

I imagine a lot depends on the particular J4J guy talking at you, too. sorry if you have run into cranks and tricksters.

245 Marcus's article is but a chapter in a much larger story. While crime has, for
the most part, been trending down, and we are talking about a small
minority of predators, interracial crime is, statistically speaking,
black on white, end of story. This is
true in all parts of the country and runs the spectrum of criminal
activity. It's not part of the progressive agenda, so our media has no
interest in the narrative. Murder, rape (the rate of white on black
rape is statistically NS), assault, robbery, the direction flows one way
with respect to race, and the reason is that no one will talk about it,
no one will give voice to it.

Anecdotally, here
is the difference: Twenty-five years ago when three animals murdered
James Byrd in Texas, the first President Bush went to Congress and spoke
out about it. When does any leader, white or black, liberal or
conservative, so much as whisper a mention about a horrific, racially
motivated crime where the perp is black and the victim white? Can you
name a single instance of a black on white murder becoming national
news? Doesn't happen. The reasons for this are obvious. White
conservatives are afraid of being called racists; white Dems know they
can't win without the overwhelming majority of black vote, so they are
afraid of anything that might antagonize blacks; too many blacks still
fall in line behind the likes of Sharpton and Farrakhan, men who have
made a career of race hatred.

Kudos to Dave Marcus for taking this on -- but no one
on the left is concerned about the larger picture of black on white
crime. You
think they give a damn about blacks criminally victimizing Hassidic
Jews? Ain't gonna happen.
