Fighting Antisemitism. A Letter to Dov Hikind

Bsd

updated Sep. 20,2019

To Dov Hikind: נ"י amv"sh
Founder, Americans Against Antisemitism

To be most effective, please address the root of the rise of Antisemitism in NY.

Antisemitism does not happen in a vacuum. 

Leftist Democrats with a bias against Jews and Israel have had strong influence over NY City and State. Their influence has been left unchecked as a result of our Jewish leadership's own choice of advocacy or rather lack of.  Antisemitism from within the Democratic party has not been effectively challenged while Antisemitism coming out of Republican groups has. The empowerment of the Quad in Congress by the Democratic Leadership is just one proof. Our continued choices at the ballot over the last several years. since Rudy Giuliani and Michael Bloomberg (Republican till 2010 after independent), is another. 

an·ti-Sem·i·tism
/ˌan(t)ēˈseməˌtizəm,ˌanˌtīˈseməˌtizəm/
nounonoun: antisemitism

hostility to or prejudice against Jews.

I once went to a lecture and the lecturer pointed out the the word Antisemitism comes from the words Anti Shem. When there is a void of Hashem's Name, this void in the world is then filled with Antisemitism.

It seems that when Jews are not fulfilling their raison d'etres, our purpose on this earth, which is teaching and filling this universe with G-dliness, it results in Antisemitism.

Going back to the topic at hand...the increased Antisemitism in NY.

Jewish institutions, organizations and community centers depend heavily on funding coming from the city and state level.  In the current reality this means we are dependent on funding coming from Democrats.  We are understandably hesitant to rock the boat that might threaten such funding and will remain silent when speaking out critically of those that hold the purse strings and bend over backwards to put them in a positive light, thereby sweeping blatant hostility and concerns threatening Israel and Jews under the rug.

TeachNYS is just one example of an organization that receives large funding for very worthy projects to benefit our community .

TeachNYS  has been proud to announce that they have received $60 million funding for Yeshiva security and $30 million for stem this year.

No one is disputing these are much needed and worthy programs.  TeachNYS brought over 700 Yeshiva kids to Albany with closing remarks addressed by Letitia James Attorney General of New York. It was a nice educational,  hands on lesson on civics, and a way to show appreciation.

But there is more to the story.

According to Aaron Tyk esq. Letitia James reached out and appointed a  "special counsel" to argue in favor of the proposed NYSED regulation. 

Guidelines for Determining Equivalency of Instruction in Nonpublic Schools
http://www.p12.nysed.gov/nonpub/guidelinesequivofinstruction.html

Yeshivas and private schools are very much against this regulation as they strongly believe that it seriously infringes on the parent's choice as per how they wish to educate their kids. Educational content from the required curriculum, forced on Yeshiva kids are problematic as they are often at odds with religious teachings and take away precious time from the preferred curriculum of the parents.

Please see the
Dear Editor letter of Jewish Home p8 by Aaron Tyk Esq.

To her credit, Letitia James has spoken forcefully against antisemitism in the Republican Party.

New York attorney general condemns county GOP video as anti-Semitic
By Kate Sullivan, Lauren del Valle and Jason Carroll, CNN
Thu August 29, 2019

I have reviewed the video and have to admit it seems that it is indeed antisemitic and Ms. Letitia James remarks in this case were justified. Nick Langworthy, Chair of the NY Republican Party agrees and condemns the video as well. 

In all fairness we need to be vigilant for alt right hate also within the Republican party. While concerns for over-development in Rockland County is justified, the overtones of this video are not.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2019/08/29/county-gop-ad-saying-jewish-candidate-is-plotting-takeover-is-slammed-anti-semitic/

However, 

Letitia James called Trump an "illegitimate President" and calls for a barrage of investigations on President Trump. 
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/may/07/the-thorn-in-trumps-side-new-york-attorney-general-leads-barrage-of-investigations
President Trump has been Israel's greatest advocate! Surely Letitia Jame's efforts are not in Israel's nor America's best interests.

Isn't her social justice agenda re:  Abortion,  LGBTQ pride, protection for undocumented residents... problematic?

She investigates police criminal misconduct and brutality. She advocated for police to wear personal body cameras as they would protect residents from misconduct and police officers from false allegations. "James predicted the camera pilot program could reduce police brutality lawsuits, saving the city millions of dollars a year. " This to her credit makes lots of sense. 
https://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/nyc-crime/letitia-james-si-chokehold-death-proves-cams-article-1.1899671

If numerous complaints of police criminal misconduct and brutality are not fairly investigated to its conclusion and they merely settle baseless claims, it can result in the decline of police morale being afraid to do their job properly.  Ultimately this will make the city an unsafe place especially in places like Crown Heights, Boro Park and Williamsburg where the police might be afraid to start up with Black Lives Matter, African Americans who in the past are more likely to bring charges of police brutality based on their race yet it is fact that African Americans have committed many of the recent hate crimes, antisemitic attacks. 

Charges of police brutality is the nonviolent weapon of progressive socialist leftists. As a result, police were unafraid to be aggressive against relatively peaceful Neturei Karta protesters of Pamele Geller and Noni Darwish who were protesting Linda Sarsour and sent them across the street but were very afraid of dispersing violent protesters with signs protesting police brutality whom they allowed in very close proximity to Pamele Geller and Linda Sarsour.

Letitia James is supportive of World Pride LGBTQ.

She is fighting Trump's vetting of undocumented students.
Education Commissioner Elia and Attorney General James Issue Guidance to Support Safety and Equal Access to New York Schools

http://www.nysed.gov/news/2019/education-commissioner-elia-and-attorney-general-james-issue-guidance-support-safety-and

What about the rights, protections and safety of future victims of undocumented and unvetted students.

Why are we so worried about the protection of potential criminals with ties to terror groups like ISIS? 

Is she the best educational role model for our Yeshiva students to look up to?

Did TeachNYS really have to give her honor and great PR and by extension whitewash the total picture, a very worrisome agenda?

Letitia James is a typical Democrat...

Here are a list of her Press Releases.
 https://ag.ny.gov/press-releases-for-month/201909

Leading 2020 candidates for President from the Democratic party defend Al Sharpton who incited the progrom in Crown Heights under former Mayor David Dinkins.
https://freebeacon.com/politics/2020-dems-praise-defend-al-sharpton-after-attack-from-donald-trump/.  

Antisemite Linda Sarsour campaigns on behalf of  candidate Bernie Sanders of the Democratic Party. 

While antisemitism among Republicans are few and far between,  it is justifiably condemned harshly by Democrats and Republicans alike.

AntiSemitism within the Democratic party is mainstream going all the way up to the top leadership as they empower overt Antisemites within the Democratic party. Mainstream Jewish Organizations who should be protesting loudly, are silent and turn a blind eye. 

Not only are we not protesting we are in fact recommending that Jews register as Democrats hoping that we can then have influence. 

By registering as Democrats, we are crossing a line that should not be crossed. 

The leadership and policies of the Democratic Party of 2020 have crossed the line. Their agenda and policies and values defy the basic 7 Noahide laws which define what constitutes a civilized and moral society. There is a plan in motion and it's been in place for years.

The goal of the Muslim Brotherhood for North America is Civilization Jihad.


Civilization Jihad is the plan of the Muslim Brotherhood.

Brigitte Gabriel, the Director of Act for America writes:

They wrote the plan of the destruction of the US in 1991. "An Explanatory Memorandum of the General Strategic Goal of the North American Group, May 1991. https://d3n8a8pro7vhmx.cloudfront.net/actforamerica/pages/90/attachments/original/1462910108/The-Project-doc.pdf?1462910108  See pages 16-32 in English

In this plan here is a paragraph that explains what the Muslim Brotherhood Plan is all about:

Understanding the Role of the Muslim Brother in North America:
The Process of Settlement is a civilization jihadist process. That brothers [in America] must understand that their work is a kind of Jihad in eliminating and destroying the western civilization from within and sabotaging its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so it is eliminated so that Allah's religion is made victorious over all other religions.

Those elected Congresswomen, empowered by the leaders in the Democratic Party,  known as the QUAD, are dangerous. They are disloyal impostors masquerading as loyal Americans. They empower those that accuse Israel for defending itself and they accuse the IDF of criminal misconduct and brutality. Besides false slander against Israel and the IDF, it greatly weakens Israel resolve to defend itself, without even firing a shot. Is it any wonder that fire kites and grenades are given the opportunity of wreaking havoc on the Gaza border by the Gaza protesters incited by Hamas with a very measured response from the IDF?

Hasidic Jew Attacked By Four Thugs in Williamsburg; Search Underway for Suspects
"It seems like it's open season on the Jews of New York City, and 'leadership' is nowhere to be found," said Hikind. "We cannot continue to tolerate this violent antisemitism that's sowing fear in a segment of New Yorkers."
Another day, another brutal and vicious attack on a Hasidic Jew in Brooklyn. We don't need more empty talk from city and state "leaders". We need action! The NYPD should be stepping up patrols in all Jewish neighborhoods until this wave of violent antisemitism subsides.
There seems to be no end in sight, as the number of attacks on Jews continues to rise drastically. That's why we're rallying this Sunday, September 22 at 12pm in City Hall Park (249-243 Broadway between Murray St and Park Pl) to send this message loud and clear: it's high time for zero tolerance of violent antisemitic intolerance. Enough is enough.
If American Jews have become targets for repeated violent assaults in the largest Jewish community in America, it's a damning statement about our current state of affairs. But we cannot wait for murder to wake up and fight back against this viciousness. The time is now. It's already late, but not too late.
