NYT Only Begins Reporting on Jewish Cemetery Desecrations After Trump's Election; Paper Has Long History of Ignoring Such Events, or Minimizing Them as Inconsequential

Pretty amazing find by Ira Stoll -- there have been ten major Jewish cemetery desecrations since January 2008. The NYT covered exactly two of them, and one of those was outside the US. In both cases they bothered to mention the issue at all, they minimized the events as minor.

But now after Trump's election, it's all they can talk about, and they're sending reporters and photographers to cemeteries each time there's an incident.

I guess "The truth is now more important than ever," whereas before, especially during the Obama years, it didn't matter so much.

So nice to have a press concerned about dead Jews all of a sudden.

Before you know it, they'll get concerned about unemployed people, crime stats, "real" inflation that includes the price of necessities, sub 3.5% GDP and homeless people.

20 Jewish Cemeterys along the Eisenhower Expressway in the burbs of Chicago get vandalized all the damn time. Many do not get repaired ever.

A student at Nassau Community College waged a two-month campaign of
anti-Semitism at the school by leaving swastikas in bathrooms and on
campus walls, police said.

Jasskirat Saini, 20, of Plainview, was arrested Tuesday for 12 incidents dating back to Oct. 15, Nassau County police said.

He drew 110 swastikas, along with phrases like "KKK," "Germany" and "Heil Hitler," mainly using markers, cops said.

29 Reminds me (sort of) of the stories about border arrests being up some years ago-- no one would say if they were up because there were more actual crossings, or if it was just a function of enforcement, or both. (Or if the metric had changed, or if people were being caught closer to the actual border, etc. etc. etc.)

Or the homeless epidemic that happens every times there's a Republican President. Or the unemployment rate. Or any of a number of other things.

It's somewhat amusing that during WW2, a backwards swastika on a vehicle would have meant that it belonged to the "good" member of the Axis. The Finns used a swastika that wasn't rotated 45 degrees, had shorter outer "forearms", and was pointed in the opposite direction.

87 30 24 I'm not sure where this chant of "Donald Trump is an anti-Semite" started. I don't see any evidence of that at all. Weren't the actual actions of Obama more anti-Jewish than any President in my memory? And when did leftists start caring about the Jews all of a sudden?



I asked. Here is their line of thought they SAY; Trump hired Bannon, Bannon is an antisemite because of David Horowitz saying Kristol was a Renegade Jew AND that Bannon's wife said in DIVORCE COURT that Bannon thought the kids' school was "too jewish."

Of course both of those connections are tenuous but they can't talk about the actual reason.

The actual reason is that a bunch of leftist 4chan adolescent assholes who wanted to either be "un-pc" because they're assholes OR because they're leftists went on an internet campaign extoling Trump at the same time they posted "un-PC" things about jews and blacks.

It looked pretty clear to me that they were leftists creating a meme or just a bunch of low information nitwits wanting to play at being internet sensations but they did manage to force several sites into facebook comments and scare the sanity out of people like David French.

Hence, Trump is an "antisemite" because a bunch of assholes, either lefties or adolescents, yelled "go trump" and followed it with anti-semetic/racist lunatic words and pictures.

That's all they got.

Posted by: hogmartin at March 01, 2017 02:15 PM (8nWyX)

Liberal Jews, the ones that eat cheeseburgers and shellfish and probably don't even know what day Shabbat is on, had the gall to call Jared Kushner a hypocrite, because he worked on Trump's crisis management team on the Sabbath right after pussygate came out. Lot of damage control that weekend. Nevermind the hundreds of times they kept the Sabbath perfectly.

My worry is that to ingratiate themselves in the DC Jewish community, Ivanka and Jared will go full bore lefty, and try to drag papa Trump with them. We'll see.

92 May I suggest to ACE a post - Tom Cotton held a town hall and took questions from the audience. The audience was stuffed full of moon bat democrats. Cotton handled himself expertly, but the interesting thing was listening to his very reasonable answers to their questions, compared to the boos and cheers from the audience. For example, he would say "wind and solar are unreliable because the wind doesn't always blow and the sub doesn't always shine, so we need to utilize other reliable energy sources as well." The audience boos "the wind doesn't always blow and the sun doesn't always shine" part of that statement.

Anyway - there is just a complete disconnect with reality here. The idea that Trump is anti-Semitic, in any possible way, is ridiculous. He has Jewish grandchildren, is friends with Bibi, and is from New York. And yet...it's like they call him a Nazi. Nazis hated Jews. He must be anti-Semitic. Ergo, these incidents must be increasing at his encouragement. the chain of logic is insane, but so is booing the unreliability of the wind.

As other's have mentioned earlier, to do the kind of damage to large granite headstones we've seen,numbering in the 100s on occasion, takes several strong people and possibly chains, sledgehammers, etc. Under the cover of darkenss.

Trump was the only saying something than the usual boilerplate our hearts go out bullshit after the Pulse shooting. He was talking about it doesn't matter if they're gay or not they're our people and he wants to keep everyone safe.

But is there more vandalism than before this year, or is the media just deciding to cover it now because of their political agenda and mindless media herding?

The answer, in the summer of the shark, was the latter - despite all the media hype, there actually were fewer shark attacks in 2001 than there were in 2000.

John Crudele at the NY Post did yeoman's work -- sadly largely ignored -- revealing the crude chicanery going on with the reporting of official economic numbers during the Obama administration.

And how the Obama crew had systematically and cynically rigged the economic reporting system starting at the Census level on up.

Crudele in his latest points out that one of Obama's slow-motion delayed-action _Vergeltungswaffe_ launches while on his way out the door was to name a new head statistician at Census. Someone who had previously been deeply implicated in these dishonest shenanigans.

Trump may not realize how many levels down he's going to have to clean house in order to get rid of all of these deeply buried saboteurs and moles.

There's Orthodox, and then there is Orthodox. Some modern Orthodox women do not cover their hair. Many American Conservative Jews are closer to Reform in their personal practice. Many American "Orthodox" are closer to (say) Canadian Conservative (ie Sen. Leiberman) in their practice. Ivanka would not fit in very well in the Orthodox Synagogue around the corner from where I live: those guys are very very religious. But she would fit in fine at the Orthodox Synagogue about 5 blocks from my house. She would also be fine at some of the local Conservative ones, but would be too traditional at at least one. So.....

154 There's Orthodox, and then there is Orthodox. Some modern Orthodox women do not cover their hair. Many American Conservative Jews are closer to Reform in their personal practice. Many American "Orthodox" are closer to (say) Canadian Conservative (ie Sen. Leiberman) in their practice. Ivanka would not fit in very well in the Orthodox Synagogue around the corner from where I live: those guys are very very religious. But she would fit in fine at the Orthodox Synagogue about 5 blocks from my house. She would also be fine at some of the local Conservative ones, but would be too traditional at at least one. So.....

Posted by: grammie winger at March 01, 2017 02:30 PM (bpfzP)


Judaism has the Big Three: Orthodox, Conservative, and Reform, but within those, there are still further divisions that adhere to different codes. I know an Orthodox woman who wears a wig and respectfully declines handshakes with men. But there are others who fit under the Orthodox description who you'd never know unless you knew what to look for or if they told you.

It's sort of how you can be an Anabaptist and ride a buggy and raise barns with a killer beard, or be an anabaptist and work as a public school teacher and drive a modest car.

Slight ear infection. No clue why she was not jumping sometimes. So she gave us doggy motrin to see if that would take care of some inflammation. She's young, so I doubt she's hurt. However, she seems to be dramatic (had to get doggy motrin for her vaccinations too, whining). She ate when we mixed some wet food in (then the cat spent all night trying to get to the wet food can in the trash).

So here's the deal: the entire reporting and collating mechanisms for economic data have been *so* extensively corrupted and tampered with that they are now entirely unreliable.

Down to the level of the original raw data having being discarded after being rejiggered. Or the raw data simply being invented out of thin air.

It's impossible to tell what the real numbers even are any longer. There's no reliable basic info left. And there's no systemic methodology for the modifications which could be reversed back out of the calculations.

It's like the pilot of a plane in bad weather at night in the mountains suddenly realizing that the instruments are all completely cockeyed. Not just "partial panel" flying. Zero-panel flying.

190 Ace,

I am so glad you brought this up. My father was buried over 30 years ago in Staten Island in the Baron Hitsch cemetery. This last 30 years his gravestone was not down many times as were many of my other relatives and in numerable Graves in the cemetery. The ADL and the federations didn't give a damn. The cemetery office told my mother that it's not their responsibility. And that each time my mother paid over $500 to have the stone operated only to be knocked down again my well the uncle of blessed memory would pay for other family members but since he's gone nobody else takes care of it. If you visit the cemetery at the Graves or knocked over. The family personally am at the front of our section had beautiful Stainglass that was destroyed. After 30 years my mother got fed up and she disinterred my father's grave and he's now in a VA cemetery.
This has been going on for quite some time sometimes it's anti-Semites sometimes it's just bored youths,but the Federation types were more interested in their interfaith their abortion rights there Obama their diversity etc. etc.they never gave a flying fuck until they were able to use this on Trump.

Thank you very much for publicizing this.

219 196 A certain group of people wants to not only kill you, but wipe any record of your ancestors off the map. That's why you destroy a cemetery.

Well, that and the fact that the dead can't defend their right to a gravestone. They are the perfect target for stinking cowards.

Next step, gravesite booby traps.


Actually in the mid to late 19th century they use to sell those because grave robbing was such a problem.It was a small bomblet that exploded if the grave was disturbed.

226 FWIW I actually grew up on a street in Philadelphia adjoining the cemetery that was involved in the most recent incident. IIRC this has happened before - kids liked to play football etc. (older kids liked to drink beer in the cemetery) in an open portion of the grounds by sneaking through a hole made in the chain link fence, which the cemetery caretakers would repair and fortify serially.

It's entirely possible that this was just an occasional escalation of a tit for tat neighborhood dispute. Or it could be antisemitism, certainly. Maybe both.

227 When did lack of evidence ever keep the NYT from running with a story?

Or, in this case, verifiable physical facts on the ground keep them from memory-holing a story?

230 ... Report the real numbers ...

He was elected because people knew the numbers were cooked.

He could send out $400 rebate checks on April 15th. That got Bush reelected. 48 billion dollars will pay for some mighty pretty tattoos and some good beer weekends.

Obama rebated part of SS tax for a year.

235 186 It's sort of how you can be an Anabaptist and ride a buggy and raise barns with a killer beard, or be an anabaptist and work as a public school teacher and drive a modest car.

There are Old Order Amish, Amish, and Mennonites.
In those different sects, each one is governed by a council/and or a bishop and that bishop dictates what modern amenity is acceptable or not. The Mennonites have embraced modern life to which they can own vehicles and own businesses that have most of their exposure to the modern world. The reverse is the Old Order, who feels this exposure will put them farther away from God and his word in their daily life. And then there are the tweeners.

The idea is to not live in the 1700's as much as it is to not live life lazily, or to not relish work.

It's why the Amish will accept a modern vehicle ride if a group is installing roofs on homes beyond buggy reach. Or why they will use a phone once a week at the local store.

Every month, the bishop and council carefully consider every request or change in doctrine request to see if they believe it will be of benefit or if the benefit is outweighed by the introduction and maintenance of worldly concerns.

236 This is an old newspaper trick. Lincoln Steffens has a chapter in his autobiography on how he "created" a crime wave. He did so just by reporting on all the crimes reported to the police each day. The paper was filled with crime stories.

They are so dishonest they cant even think up new ways to lie.

btw, "Religious Studies" courses and departments at colleges today are such jokes. It's 100% criticism.

Harvard's Divinity School is anything but divine.

240 The President mentioned that these desecrations were probably a false flag, ie, hysterical lefties trying to blame Trump supporters. The coordinated coverage confirms it.

241 As a member of the tribe, I'm going to tell you what this stepped up narrative of Trump and those associated with him being anti-Semitic is all about.
Obama really opened a lot of Jewish eyes as to the hatred of the present day progressive Democratic Party. The Iranian deal, the UN vote, the organizing of the BDS movement on campuses, etc. In the eight years of Obama, the rise of antisemitism was palpable. Yes, Jews vote overwhelmingly democrat but the numbers have been slowly declining. This is their attempt to get the Jews back.
As an ex-dem and a Jew, I will never vote for a democrat again. Obama is one man. The Democratic Party never pushed back. They allowed this to happen and are responsible.

242 Jared and Ivanka are "modern orthodox." They are observant but a tad more assimilated than the strict, orthodox sects where the women do have to wear shadels (wigs)

243 "Cue the "Grim Milestone" stories."

Yeah i believe we'll be seeing a lot these stories since they'll have to catch up with what they didn't report from the previous 8 years
