What You Should Know
Who Or What Is The Cause For Hate Crimes Against The Jewish Community?
You should know that hate crimes against the Jewish Community rates the highest in the State of New York.
Among all ethnic and racial groups in New York City, it is the Jewish people who receive the most physical, verbal, intimidating and discriminatory attacks, more so, than any other racial or ethnic groups.
According to "The Jewish Anti-Defamation League," in the past year hate crimes and persecution of the Jews has increased by an alarming 24% in New York State and City. The State of New York, according to this report, rates higher than any other state in the nation for the most Hostile and Violent against members of the Jewish community.
This report includes 183 cases of Racial Harassment. Nearly the same amount for vandalism of Jewish property, including synagogues and residences. The report also indicates that last year there were 51 cases of physical assaults against Jewish children, youth and elderly in New York City. Most of these Anti-Semitic Crimes occurred in the Borough of Brooklyn where the vast majority of Orthodox and Hasidic Jews reside.
It is important for you to know, my dear reader, that this report does not mention Who are the individuals or groups committing these Hate Crimes against the Jewish Community. It does not point out the racial makeup of the group or criminal element that is targeting the Jewish Community, and committing these Heinous, Hateful Crimes against them. It makes us wonder, who is targeting these people and why? Are these attacks coming from us the Hispanics, or are it the African Americans, or is it the Asians, or is it the Whites? Who or what ethnic group is purposely targeting and going out to attack a specific segment of our society?
Unfortunately, the News Media doesn’t report and tends to hide the race or nationality of the person or people, who are targeting and committing these crimes. This, in my view, does not help identify the perpetrators of Hate Crimes, and it does nothing to help us prevent and put an end to this hateful act.
One way to fight this war on crime is to begin identifying and publishing the race and identity of the criminals. This will awaken our leaders from their slumber. Elected officials were elected to represent our communities and must therefore devote more time and resources to identify the Root causes for Hate Crimes. Our leaders must work toward identifying the root cause, then provide the needed education, guidance, and tolerance, as a deterrent in our quest to end this violence.
For too long our leaders have helped fester these crimes, by hiding the nationality, race and origin of the person committing crimes, under the guise that certain groups are racially profiled. By hiding the race, and nationality of the criminals, our leaders clearly fail to see a need for prioritizing and focusing on the root cause of hate crimes instead of blaming others for the rise in crime especially when it’s against a specific ethnic, or religious group.
We know that by publishing who or what is disturbing the Peace, Tranquility and Life of the Jews and other ethnic groups, will bring, if not greatly reduce, Racial Attacks and Hate Crimes in New York City.
Publishing and unmasking the race and nationality of criminals is Not Pro-filing or an act of discrimination as they would have us think. Identifying the Race, and Nationality of the Perpetrator, or Perpetrators, is essential if we are to get to the root causes that motivate these Hate Crimes against innocent individuals, and against an innocent group of people. This will help us stamp out Hate Crimes, but its root causes must be identified, by first identifying the perpetrators.
