There was yet ANOTHER hate crime targeting the Orthodox Jewish community in NYC, this one in the Crown Heights section of Brooklyn.
A note with the words “HITLER IS COMING” was placed on a wall at the Jewish Children’s Museum on Eastern Parkway on Thursday.
The NYPD Hate Crimes Task Force says they are “investigating the incident”.
Not to miss the opportunity to score points just days after announcing his intention to run for office yet again, NY Governor Cuomo jumped on the bandwagon, and released a lengthy statement saying:
“I am disgusted by the anti-Semitic message scrawled in front of the Jewish Children’s Museum in Crown Heights, Brooklyn. We have zero tolerance for anti-Semitism, discrimination or hate of any kind in New York, and no person should ever feel threatened because of their religious beliefs.”
“I have visited this great museum, built in honor of Ari Halberstam who was tragically killed in an anti-Semitic terror attack on the Brooklyn Bridge, after it received threats in the past. It’s all more distressing for this institution built to bring together children of all faiths and backgrounds to foster tolerance to be targeted.”
“In the wake of a rise in anti-Semitic and other hate crimes in our nation, it is more important than ever that we stand united to condemn these despicable acts of violence and root out hate in all its forms.”
“To ensure those responsible for this heinous act are held accountable to the fullest extent of the law, I am directing the State Police Hate Crimes Task Force to immediately provide the NYPD with any resources needed to assist in the investigation of this incident. Now and always, there is no place for hate in our state.”
But wait a minute.
Haven’t we all heard that 100 times before? “Hate Crimes task Force investigating the incident”? Does anyone think the community actually takes these declarations seriously anymore?
We have witnessed multiple press conferences and statements - one after the next with serious looking elected officials standing next to a few Jewish community leaders, all looking tough for the cameras, hoping to be interviewed and quoted by the media.
Clearly, these conferences and statements mean nothing other than photo-ops and sound bites for elected officials looking to shore up their anti hatred credentials with the Jewish community. We are tired of the same cycle- attack, shock, press conference, rinse & repeat.
Where are the new updated anti-hatred policies by the Mayor and Governor to counter these attacks? Where is the overwhelming sustained police presence? The depraved attackers aren’t on twitter or impacted by the worthless condemnations & press conferences.
Perhaps it is time for the Federal Government to send in the FBI and bypass the NYPD and start making arrests themselves. Federal hate crime penalties are far more serious than the revolving door of the Brooklyn court system. Speaking of local officials where is State Attorney General Letitia James who was strongly supported by the Jewish community of Brooklyn? The dereliction of duty of our elected officials has put us in a very dangerous place. We have had enough promises and vows. Action is needed now.
To add insult to injury, though the National media and the Democratic party would have you believe that it’s white supremacists and Trump supporters solely responsible for rising hate crimes across the United States, nothing could be further from the truth in NYC.
If you need more fuel to prove the pack of lies being spoon-fed to the masses, these same grandstanding officials tell us it’s those “angry Trump supporters who are committing these crimes” when in fact, nearly NONE of the hate crimes against Jews in NYC were the result of a Trump supporter, not unless Trump suddenly has support among 18-year-old minority and illegal thugs living in Brooklyn.
And perhaps Mayor DeBlasio can provide an answer to how this incident took place just a few feet away from an NYPD Command Post that is there 24 hours a day for years. This is all happening in your city Mr. Mayor. While you are busy running around the country speaking to empty rooms, the Orthodox Jewish community is under siege on your watch and people are frightened. Before you consider running for President —
Clean up your city first!

Deblasio is too busy with legalizing post 9th month abortion and legalizing hard drugs
You can thank the askan establishment. They endorse the wrong people, over and over.
Today, I honked someone for swerving lanes on the highway in front of me, and he told me that Hitler did a good job with the Jews.
Scary times…….
The command center is a joke. A goy once threatened to kill me and all my Jewish neighbors and when I reported it to the police at the command center they didn’t even bother to take a report.
You got what you deserved. Most Orthodox Jews voted for both DeBlasio & James. There are polls and other research confirming this. Proudly, I can say that I did not vote for liberal garbage.
Why did you not ask where is Schumer, supposedly a Jew?
WAKE UP CALL FROM GOD.!!!!!!!!!!!
MOSHIAH IS COMING TIME FOR JEWS TO UNIT OR SUFFER YET ANOTHER ROUND OF ANTISEMITISM.
Thank you. I agree %100.
This cycle of violence directed towards Jewish people and their property harkens back unfortunate memories of the David Dinkins days, where he tied the hands of the NYPD. Who is the worthless Police Captain of the local precinct there? Why isn’t he being questioned?
As far as the hateful revengeful Democrat, Letitia James, she stole the election, with the help of our askanim, for one reason and one reason only: To be the hero who finally nails the sitting President, Donald Trump. The guillibe Frum community that put her in power can go to h-ll. We are not hearing a peep from those askanim because they’re all by their chiropractor’s for their injuries they sustained by patting themselves on the back so much.
Then again, why should the NYPD top brass care? They are honored by every single Chaveirim, Shomrim, Hatzalah, etc dinner/fundraiser/milaveh malka.
The Askonim will make another Breakfast or Lunch for the police and all will be good…….
I wonder if headlining incidents such as this, i.e. graffiti done by some anonymous individual, is really constructive. It’s just rewarding some coward with the attention he wants.
Jews seem to be hated from all sides. On the far right and left. Here’s my understanding. European hatred stems from century upon century of Indoctrination to hate the Jesus killers (not questioning how their designated Deity and Messiah in one can be killed or for blaming all future Jews who had nothing in the slightest to do with it or nt blaiming Italians who crucified him) but the Churches also indoctrinated the Jews are of the past and Chrisitanity relaces the Chosenness. This represented in Notre Dame and many other churches by a synogoue and celestia statue representing the blind Jewess and crowned Christian. So when Jews are no longer in ghettoes or expelled but seen and especially openly miraculously return in millions from all over world to their Land of Heritage, Israel, it is like a”thorn in many eyes”. And the same with the Moslem world where Moslems claimed the whole Middle East and suddenly miraculously Jews return to their ancient homeland, None of this should happen as they were taught Jews were REPLACED by Chrisitans or Moslems. Of course there are many millions of excellent Wonderful Chrisitans and Moslems with whom Jews easily get along with. We believe in freedom of religoun and against religous persecution and in peace on earth. After 2000 years and the destructive Holocaust Israel is HERE TO STAY. But many, especally assimilated Jews, may feel deeply uncomfortable by hate and to fit in even may join anti Israel groups as Jews for Peace or IfNotNow or J Street, despite the threat to many millions of fellow Jews who live in OUR Land, Erets Yisroel. As pslams says We speak of peace but they want war. (PSalms 120:7)
Hay people please
Don’t yell out loud “anti Semitism”.
Please !!
Chuckie “Shomer Israel” and his bed fellow Ilan Omar and Rashid and their dog leash handlers will blame the Jews (Israel) for it.
I think New Yorkers deserve Chuckies and Nadlers and for keeping them in power.
The goyim can only learn how to hate Jews from Jew haters like rabid Jews in NYC.
OK I get it you don’t like the mayor. But what does he have to do with some kid writing antisemitic statements? Maybe blame it on school administrators or the parents.
To be honest, a girl pasting a note on this wall would not get the attention of the command, even if Giuliani was still mayor. That’s what it’s there for. However, if someone saw it immediately and ran over to the police and the girl hadn’t disappeared down the subway or something, they would have caught her. Better to have someone from Shomrim standing guard because they care about us.
The handwriting is on the wall. It’s time for us all to go home and await Moshiach in EY. Things are far from perfect in Israel, but this country, state and city are sinking rapidly right before our eyes.
SOME PEOPLE ARE UPSET ABOUT THIS ANTI SEMITISM, BUT IM ACTUALLY VERY HAPPY
IT MEANS WERE ARE ON OUR WAY OUT FROM THE US..
MOSHIAH IS COMING
Rabbosi, We have to shift he focus and perspective on these recent outburst of global anti-Semitic attacks. It’s not about the lack of response from our moron mayor or police department. Yes, we should voice our concern and demand that something be done. However, hashem is clearly sending us a message, yidden don’t belong. We need to strengthen our Tefilllos work on our limod Torah. We should all be mekabel one thing to work on. We should all be zoche to see moshiach soon in his full glory and nissim from hashem.
De Blasio has made it pretty clear that he is uninterested in his job as mayor.
“It’s time for us all to go home and await Moshiach in EY…”
So several million yidden from U.S. and Europe should book flights to EY and wait for moishiach. And when they land, where will they live? How will they support their families and feed their children? Who will provide them with medical care? EY can barely take care of the yidden already there with 1/3 of the population receiving various forms of welfare and refusing to become part of the economy.
I find these frequent rants about everyone running off to EY both humorous and to some degree dangerous. Please explain your plan or otherwise hold your musar.
If you think this is bad, you should come to Brighton Beach. Since the new mikvah was put up in Manhattan Beach, there is absolutely no support from the few synagogues that we have in Brighton Beach. No appeals, nothing.If not forRabbi Simpson in the past and Rabbi Weissman today, there would be no Mikva in Brighton Beach. The answer I wasGiven from one of rabbis was “ give Rabbi X the key and he will fix everything”
A Mikvah has to die because of politics in a small community!
This week is the tochacha the whole point of the tochache is not for suffering “its that we should get the message!!! Now anti semitism is a blatant message from Hashem” wake up this is not where you belong!!! You are way too comfortable in Galus!! So what does he do he sends messages and if you don’t see the blatant stark message and we blame it on the mayor and other then we are blind and deaf all in one. RABBOSAI LETS GET TOGETHER UNIFY TO BRING MOSIACH!!!!! How for starters lets start yearning for Moshiach speak about it at home. Rav Avigdor Miller bemoaned the fact that Moshiach is not on peoples minds and lips except when one finishes a speech. Obviously cheshbon Hanefesh and yeshiva is also a late step toward geulla. Don’t underestimate the power of an individual!!
Waiting for this bitter long exile to end
*Yeshiva i meant to write teshuva is a great step
The Askonim will make another Breakfast or Lunch for the police and all will be good…….
You can thank the askan establishment. They endorse the wrong people, over and over.
Askanim? They are self-serving, publicity seeking weaklings who don’t have a brain between them. They have done tremendous damage by pandering to the antisemitism in Crown Heights. All they do is have press conferences and photo ops. And yes, they keep endorsing these ineffectual, biased politicians who are only interested in the Black community. My kids still live there, and it gets worse and worse every month. Summer is the worst.
The only thing that will stop anti-semetism is hate between jews. Jewish media has a big part of it, speakly badly of certain sects or leaders and propagating unproven allegations against them.
אל תבטחו בנדיבים
If ANTI-SEMITISM IS GETTING WORSE DAILY WORLDWIDE….
then why don’t we all take the wake up message from Hashem for serious teshuva together and stop living in denial? Is there still someone crazy out there that thinks all this tzaros is just coincidence? Don’t we all know “theres no such a thing as coincidence” and everything has a reason for it.
Before WWII Many Gedolim in klal Yisroel told our grandparents to leave Europe before a war started. How many listened? Very few…. We are so comfortable in golus R”L with our pleasures, technology and homes etc… Don’t wait for it to get worse C”V… take the message from Hashem and Leave your comfortable golus home for Eretz Yisroel
May we all wake up before the next tragedy strikes klal yisroel C”V
mourning in pain as I watch our brethren suffering worldwide and the anti-Semitism getting worse worldwide
Thank you YWN for admitting your guilt to Hashem by not posting my %100 true message I sent last night. On klal Yisroel non-stop endless tragedies.
Now you editor’s at YWN will be responsible between you and Hashem to answer in the olam Haemes. why it was not posted when you have a responsibility to get the message out there as a media news.
You can still do your personal teshuva for this sin by posting it ASAP when you know it’s the truth and have only shown me and Hashem that YOU TOO are among those also guilty of living in denial and thinking you can fool Hashem that you don’t get his wake-up call for Serious Teshuva.
Mau Hashem help you make the right decisions before it’s too late
