Re: Happy Rosh Hashanah!!!!

[ Edited ]

Yesterday New York's Governor reported that there have been numerous bomb threats against synagogues,  mainly in the City, but none are deemed credible.

 

Nonetheless,  State Troopers are joining the NYPD at many high profile locations. 

 

New York City is on a higher alert status this week compared to the norm.

@Shanus I am a Christian and what you described is heartbreaking to me. There is no place for this antisemitism in the USA. My father fought in WW2 and was in a unit called the liberators which went into the camps and rescued the people held there. Those images haunted him the rest of his life. I pray this cycle of intolorence ends for all our sakes.May God bless you.


@redbird @Shanus  I am Christian, too, (Catholic) and never could understand the antisemitism.  We all have our beliefs in a superior being.  Why can't we all be left alone to practice those beliefs.  May God bless all of us and stop all this insanity!

@Puzzle Piece   What you describe has nothing to do with not being jewish. It's more a question of humanity going to hel*l. I did grow up with it in the South. I thought it'd stop, but it rears its ugly head on a regular basis. It's not just jewish people, but it seems this time around and over the last decade, all minority groups. Shameful, sad and frightening. 


Don't do like the Jewish Germans during the thirties where they didn't think it was a targeted offense specifically directed at them!  History shows where the German's main target was the Jewish people.  Everyone and everything else that got caught up was just "sides" to the Jews being the "entree".  This attack is coming from the middle to the north if you get my meaning.  America is only the second targeted area because this is the second, to Irasel being the first, where Jews have lived and thrived for years since WWII.  So if you don't want a German repeat face the facts, this is not about "all minority groups".  This is only about the Jewish nation.


@Northray   IMHO, Israel is a Jewish nation, yes, but deeply tied and also supported financially and spiritually by Jewish people in the U.S. and other countries.

Very true.  When I said Jewish Nation, I meant all Jewish people everywhere, not just Irasel the country.
