It’s hard to think of a more prominent anti-Semite in American public life over the last 30 years than the Rev. Al Sharpton.

Heartbreaking. I’ve spent a lot of time in these neighborhoods, especially Crown Heights. It is one of the most lively neighborhoods, with some of the best people, in the United States.

Al Sharpton: Return Of The Kingmaker (And Race Baiting, Charlatan, Jew Hater)

Al Sharpton, a race-baiting charlatan, has become more powerful than ever in Democratic Party politics.

The fact that the democrats prostrate themselves before this conman and bigot prove that they are lying when they claim to care about racism, “diversity,” and “marginalized” people.

Skyrocketing Attacks On NYC Jews Ignored Because Of Race

An epidemic of anti-Jewish violence in Brooklyn is being virtually ignored because many of the assailants are black and Hispanic.

This is in AOC’s backyard. She yammers constantly, but never a about this. Bigotry only matters on the left when it fits the narrative. Most anti-Semitic attacks in Brooklyn are carried out by blacks and Hispanics. They can’t exploit that kind of Jew hatred, so leftists remain silent.

Because, as the Times also admitted in October, “anti-Semitism bypasses consideration as a serious problem in New York…because it refuses to conform to an easy narrative with a single ideological enemy.” In other words, it doesn’t fit the narrative.”

Brooklyn man shot after yelling 'I want to kill the Jew!'

A man stabbed a 22-year-old student in the face at the Brooklyn HQ of the Chabad-Lubavitch movement before he was shot dead by police.

I have spent lots of time in this very synagogue. This is horrific. I understand that the guy who did this was deranged, but I still believe that the increased acceptance of antisemitism is an element in this.
