Orthodox Jews around the country — and specifically in the tri-state area — were still reeling from the shooting at a kosher deli earlier this month when we gathered with our families to celebrate the holiday of Chanukah. But that air of tranquility was shattered by a string of nearly a dozen anti-Semitic attacks over the holiday, the most severe of which was a mass stabbing at a rabbi’s home upstate as he lit his menorah.
The stabbing attack succeeded in bringing to the fore what we visibly Orthodox Jews have known for quite some time: There’s a growing epidemic of anti-Semitism in this country, specifically targeting Orthodox Jews,

All of this really started in 2009 through 2016...the Obama administration. Obama was friends with muslims and treated the Prime Minister of Israel (Benjamin Netanyahu) like dirt. Obama owns this problem.

Maybe because I grew up in the South and had little contact with any Jewish individuals or groups, I will never understand the hatred. Why would anyone want violence against people who are simply living their lives and their faith?

The Democrat Party's relentless efforts to foment tribal warfare are paying off in ways they might not like, with Mexicans-v-Blacks, Blacks-v-Jews, Female Impersonators-v-lesbians, etc. The paradox of Jewish liberalism may never be fully understood.

Obama caused a huge resurgence just like Hitler did but hatred of Jews has been going on since the Old Testament days. People who hate need targets that are different than they are. There is no reason for it other than that.

In days past there were some who hated Jews because they believed they were the people who caused Jesus, a Jew himself, to be placed on the cross. I don't believe that in the society we have today this mentality is very prevalent. So, I am with #2 there just doesn't seem to be a logical reason to attack these people other than they are a vulnerable group, much like the Amish.

It might have something to do with Orthodox Jews being very conservative politically. Last year, I attended CPAC, and was surprised at the number of yarmulkes I saw since Jews are one of the most loyal Democrat constituencies. After I saw prayer shawls and other obvious Hasidic clothing, I realized that many of the Jews there were orthodox. Being Jewish makes them unpopular in some circles, and being conservative makes them doubly unpopular.

As other posters have implied, it used to be a religious conflict between Christians and Jews (we weren't bothered with Muslims much back then.) Now it has become fashionable among liberals, some blacks (who, of all people, should know better!), and ignorant college kids.
Democrats in Congress have fostered an atmosphere of hatred too. There are many statements by elected representatives who use their office to express their hatred and pander to groups that share their hatred.

And what about rampant Muslim immigration----the elephant in the room?

Well this discrimination against Orthodox Jews was bound to occur in or near African-American communities with African-American perpetrators, since African-American politicians and community organizers, almost all politically allied to the leftist and liberal Democrats, have been indoctrinating African-American ghetto dwellers by spouting propaganda that Jews, not resident to African-American communities, only come into those communities to engage in “bloodsucking” business “everything is cheap here” related activities, that amount to those Jews taking advantage of and ripping off those communities big time to Jewish financial advantage. Unfortunately a lot of those Jews, in accordance with their religious traditions make themselves very visible to random attack by especially feral African-American youth on the streets just by the way they dress. All you have to do is look at the Rev. Al Sharpton’s comments over the years to see where African-American resentment towards Jews has come from, and Sharpton is only one of many who have been engaged in putting out anti-Semitic propaganda. Those attacks have nothing to do with President Trump who has Jewish descendants and has been the best friend that Israel and Jews have had in the White House in decades.

Source of Jewish persecution in New York:
1. Black ghetto youths
2. Black Israelites
3. Black Muslims
4. Plain ‘ole black thugs of any age

At its root, the hatred of Jews is for the same reason the world hates Christians--because both worship the One and only true God.
Satan is behind this, and Christians will be targeted in increasing numbers next.

#10 is correct. Way too many blacks hate Jews. Remember Calypso Louie calling Jews 'bloodsuckers' and the 'Reverend' Jesse talking about 'Hymie Town'.
I don't think the Orthodox Jews are being targeted because they are Orthodox...they are simply more visible as Jews. The low IQ ghetto thugs can more easily identify them by their dress.
One other poster from the South mentioned that he didn't know many Jews when he was growing up. My little Georgia town was different. We had a thriving Jewish community with a Temple and dozens of Jewish business owners. I don't remember any slurs or people denigrating Jews in any way. I suppose there were still a few who thought the Jews killed Jesus but I never heard anyone say it. Everybody got along here....blacks, whites, Jews....we all seemed to get along. Maybe I was just lucky to grow up here.

#7, I refer you and others to the Republican Jewish Coalition. I've been a member off and on for years, and I'm not even Jewish (a long story for another time)!

The interesting thing about this reported anti-Semitism is that it is occurring in liberal states. It seems that liberalism breeds hatred.

Farrakhan is a wellspring of this hate, and yet none of the Dems or "Black Leaders" will say anything bad about him, no matter how much anti-Semitic hate he spews.
