Why The Antisemitic Hate-Crime Spike in New York City Has Nothing to Do with White Supremacy

Many liberals downplay hate crimes that don’t fit their narrative. A better approach would be consistency: We should vigorously pursue hate-crime perpetrators regardless of who they -- or the victims -- are.

I've spent lots of time in some of the neighborhoods that have been affected, particularly in Crown Heights. These attacks aren't being taken seriously by NY politicans, the media, and the public because 1. These are Jews 2. These are mostly Hassidic Jews 3. And this is the main one: it doesn't fit those politicians political narrative. Therefore law enforcement is doing next to nothing. Hassidic Jews are "white" (according the left's ridiculous definition of that term) and overwhelmingly conservative, add that to the endemically antisemitic views held by many of these same people and their reaction has been a near total non reaction. They only care about the "minorities" that they can exploit.
