City Sees Spike in Swastika Attacks

Submitted by Allyson Rowen Taylor, Oct 18, 2007 19:20

I have been an activist in the Jewish Community for seven years. For seven years, I and my fellow activists have been waring the leaders of the Jewish Communities, that unless we started to address major issues of hatred against the Jewish State and the Jewish people, we were going to see the beginnings of the 1930's all over again. However, the Major Jewish organizations have chosen to worry about issues like Darfur, which are important, while fiddeling away as Israel and the free world are under attack. 9/11 has become almost as distant to the New Yorkers as the Holocaust, and we will begin to see more attacks on Jewish students, Orthodox Jews who are easily recognizable, and our places of worship UNLESS we begin to wake up and come together on the security of Jews in the Diaspora, and the state of Israel. We have become so secularized, that we cannot stand up for our own relatives, but will lay our lives down on the line for those who wish to see us dead. This is not just a copycat, this is a person who knows that this act was dispicable, and to make little of it by marginalizing it to copycats is irresponsible, and tantamount to one sticking ones head in the sand.
