Rather than protecting Jews, we're being told to hide again

A day after Jewish college kids found it necessary to barricade
themselves inside a library in the center of Greenwich Village while a
mob of repugnant terrorist lovers banged on the locked doors trying to
get at them, the message is being broadcast that, on this Sabbath, Jews
in Brooklyn had better remain at home.

Stay inside.

Lock the doors.

A pro-Palestinian protest is scheduled for 3 p.m. Saturday in front of
the Brooklyn Museum.

That's a mile from 770 Eastern Parkway, the headquarters of the largest ultra-Orthodox sect in the world, the Lubavitch Hasidim.

Roughly 20,000 observant Jews live around 770, in the neighborhood
called Crown Heights.

"Jews should definitely avoid the area," an ultra-Orthodox news site
called COLlive.com said a "security source" had advised them and the
Shmira, the local Jewish self-defense association.

"There's no intel at this time in which direction the protest will
head. Locals should definitely stay away from Eastern Parkway in that
area."

The Jews of Brooklyn feel they are at risk, and - this is the implicit corollary - they cannot be protected.

On the Sabbath, observant Jews do not use electricity, vehicles, or
screens of any kind.

To pass the time on a Sabbath afternoon, they often go on a long walk.

Not this weekend.

As the security source said, after all, who knows which direction the
mob will go?

Better for the Jews to stay inside.

Just as it became a matter of life and death for them to stay inside
back in 1991, in the very same neighborhood.

What everyone is afraid of is a repeat of August 1991.

In Crown Heights that year, a three-day anti-Jewish riot followed a
tragic automobile accident that took the life of a 7-year-old black
child after he was hit by a car being driven by a Hasidic Jew.

Not only were 38 Jews beaten, seven Jewish-owned businesses were looted
and burned to the ground.

"Let's go get a Jew," a mob chanted, and then they did - they murdered
an Australian doctoral student named Yankel Rosenbaum, stabbing him and smashing in his skull.

At Cooper Union in Greenwich Village on Wednesday, the kids barricaded
inside for their own safety saw members of the pro-terror mob glaring
at them through glass doors.

Those kids heard taunts from outside and knew - as every Jew knows down
to our multi-millennial marrow - that any of them, at any moment, could
be Yankel Rosenbaum.

Stay inside.

Bar the doors.

Why do you think the marchers are meeting near Crown Heights anyway?

This is why.

Their purpose isn't to call for a cease-fire or to advocate for the
Palestinian people.

Their purpose is to make known what October 7 made known: There will be
no peace or security for any Jew anywhere in the world if they get
their way.

And rather than feeling certain the NYPD will protect them, they are
learning the lesson American Jews have almost never felt the need to
learn:

Stay inside.

Mind the mob.

The monsters are here.

Hide.

That's what happened in 1991.

For two days after the car accident, the cops did almost nothing except
stand by - due to the orders of a feckless and foolish mayor and his
spineless police commissioner.

Unless, that is, they tried to intervene to help people and were beaten themselves.

Stay up on the very latest with Evening Update.

More than 100 police officers were injured during that pogrom.

In the end, thousands of cops were finally committed to the effort and
the riot ended.

So, eventually, did the feckless mayor's career.

In 2023, three weeks after Jews in Israel were set upon by marauders
who murdered 1,400 and injured nearly three times that many, in cities
around the world and now in New York, the Jews outside Israel are under
attack as never before in recent history - rather than finding
themselves protected as never before.

No, they must stay inside.

Like Anne Frank, trapped for two years in an attic because any outdoor
public breath would mean capture and death - and captured anyway
because someone in the house below the attic ratted the Frank family
out.

Stay inside.

Like the pianist Wladyslaw Szpilman, played by Adrien Brody in "The
Pianist" 20 years ago, who did not talk to another person for more than
a year as he remained silent and all but motionless in a room in Warsaw
after his family was deported to and slaughtered at Treblinka.

In my 62 years of life, I have thought every day of the blessing
America has been to the Jewish people - a blessing unlike any my people
have ever known.

And this, the most Jewish city in the world outside of Israel, has been
a blessing as well.

At this moment, though, the Jews had better hide.

I cannot tell you how terrifying this is.


Let's go Brandon!
