Sickening displays of anti-Semitism after welfare fraud arrests in Lakewood

[Behind the Aegis]

LAKEWOOD — Vandals posted a banner containing an anti-Jewish slur on a Holocaust memorial in front of a local synagogue less than a week after several residents of Lakewood’s Orthodox Jewish community were charged with welfare fraud.

Photos posted online Sunday by the state chapter of the Anti-Defamation League show the banner covering the memorial in Lakewood. A message on the covering included an ethnic slur for Jewish people and they “will not divide us.” Underneath that is bloodandsoil.org, the website for a white nationalist group.

Also this week, Anti-Semetic fliers have been seen around town, referencing the same group, complaining of “thieving Jews”” — an apparent reference to the welfare fraud arrests.

Detective Lt. Gregory Staffordsmith of the Lakewood Police Department said authorities were alerted to the issue just before noon on Sunday after a call from a rabbi at Congregation Son of Israel.

1. Disgusting

What is more I am hearing about this type of anti Semitic hate more and more often.

We the people need to come together and push these hate filled assholes back into the hole they crawled out of and never let them see light of day again.

9. The lack of caring when Jewish people are victims of crimes was there long b4 Trump.

If it were a Trump effect this thread would have 200+ recs and pages of comments. As you can see this topic barely musters 10 recs and only a handful of comments.

6. I'm sickened this topic has so few responses. Why are crimes against Jews ignored by so many?

Why is okay to marginalize Jews and their everyday struggle? Their struggle is just as real as anyone else's.

I'm so angry right now.

16. Because we don't matter.

That's ok. We will eventually smarten up and stop running to everyone else's defense.

11. And Trump gives implicit approval for this every time he RTs a racist nutbar

and what's lost in the CNN Reddit story is how many times Trump has RT'd those types of accounts...

[JustAnotherGen]

13. Yup

And it highlights the need for ALL of his targets to stand strong and stick together.

This not right.
It's not moral.
It's un-American.

17. I'm waiting for a family member to add jews to her

Hate list which currently includes muslims, immigrants, gays, hispanics, etc.

She refuses to admit that this is wrong, she is wrong, and that her christian faith (she never attends church) does not give her permission to even think this way.
