[American Thinker] It is time for Jews to avoid visiting or traveling to the City of New York if they aren’t from the area. Do not visit -- and those who must should do so with absolute caution. Jews in NYC are scared and intimidated and do not feel safe.
Consider this a travel warning for Jews to avoid New York City.
Jews are beaten and intimidated daily in New York City with impunity. Jews change their names on ride-share apps, so they won’t be recognized as Jews, many have taken down their mezuzahs and hide Stars of David as Mayor Eric Adams and Governor Kathy Hochul have turned a blind eye.
Simply, New York Jews are scared and unprotected.
This past Monday took the cake in terms of creating an unsafe environment. Pro Hamas demonstrators chanted "Long live the Intifada" while holding signs reading "Long live October 7th," violently setting off smoke bombs in front of the exhibit that memorializes the murder and rape victims of the Oct. 7 Nova Music Festival. While carrying a flag of Hezb’allah, an illegal terrorist organization, this violent mob with covered faces, lighting flares and fires, taunted survivors of the October 7th massacre and yelled "Resistance is Justified." Jews were locked inside a building by the NYPD to "protect" them.
Make no mistake -- what happened last night is the equivalent of a pro-Al Qaeda riot occurring outside the 9/11 memorial, or even occurring outside "the pile" eight months after the towers fell. That would not have been condoned. KKK marches in the middle of black areas would not be permitted.
What would the reaction of the mayor and governor be if blacks were locked inside a building due to a violent white mob?
The NYPD watched and did nothing. Mayor Adams makes speeches about bringing home the hostages -- something he has zero control over -- and leaves Jews in the streets of NYC in danger. Mr. Mayor, we don’t care about your speeches about bringing home the hostages -- we want you to protect the Jews in NYC.
We are not safe.
On a daily basis, masked pro-Hamas protestors block the streets and intimidate Jews and Americans. Nearly every day we see Jews being beaten with no comeback.
