Mayor de Blasio and Governor Cuomo joined local leaders to take a stand in support of the Jewish community today after a string of anti-Semitic incidents in and around the city.
The march comes amid a spike in anti-Semitic incidents across the city, including several during Hanukkah.
According to the NYPD, there was 24 percent rise in anti-Semitic incidents in 2019 compared to 2018.
The march took place in the wake of a deadly shooting at a Kosher deli in Jersey City last month, and the stabbing during a Hanukkah party in Monsey, New York.

I’m glad to hear people are coming out in protest. Hate should never be tolerated.
If an increase in hate crimes happened to whites, and whites marched in protest, the white marchers would be condemned for "white supremacy."
You should be ashamed of yourself. I hope you don’t support these attacks. Attacking anyone is wrong.
White Christians are the majority in the nation, many have weapons so attacking white People like this would be met with immediate and violent retaliation.

I agree. But many people seem to think that attacking whites is no big deal.
After "Black Lives Matter," some people responded with "All Lives Matter" -- and they were condemned as racist.
Since you believe that "attacking anyone is wrong," do you also agree that "All Lives Matter" is better than "Black Lives Matter"?

You're kidding, right? Did Tessa Majors respond with "immediate and violent retaliation"?

Tessa Majors was a single person who was murdered.
Do people from poor neighborhoods enter suburbs to bother them? Absolutely not!
First of all New York’s underclass cannot drive so where they subway doesn’t take them they cannot go. They cannot afford commuter rail tickets either. Suburban police would never let outsiders terrorize communities and lots of suburban types have guns.
You know very well the majority of white Americans are not affected by, and are not concerned about crime in NYC. No threat to them, as most Americans do not live in NYC.
So I’m not kidding. Attacks on the general white population would be met with immediate and violent retaliation.
I’m not a member of BLM.
Put it like this, since all lives matter BLM should be condemning these attacks but they are apparently silent.
So I’m not interested in a movement that ignores violence against other groups.

Actually, at least in Los Angeles, black and Latino gangs do drive from the hood into rich areas to burgle houses, and occasionally murder the occupants.
And in 2015, the train line extended into Santa Monica, where I live. It's been dubbed the "crime train" because it makes it easier for criminals from poor neighborhoods to come to affluent Santa Monica, to ply their trade. There's been a sharp increase in violent crime ever since the "crime train" opened.
Or does that not count, because people are not coming to "bother" whites, but just to steal from them?

Attacks on white people happen every day, without "immediate and violent retaliation."
Or do you imagine that whites would retaliate violently against someone who bothers them, but do nothing if someone assaults or robs them?
"Oh look, this guy wants to rob me. Better give him my wallet ... oh no, wait, he only spat at me. I'll kill him!"

Sounds like LA and NYC are full of wimps.
Please give me concrete evidence that this happens to the majority of white Americans.
You cannot because it does not. White men still
Have their balls in the South and most of the West which is geographically most of the country.
Now please drop the pansy talk.
I lived in Alabama for years and most men hunted. Of course these were Confederate flag waving types. If only some of you knew how pathetic you sound.
So you totally have no ability to defend or stand up yourself or find a community to live in that supports you and accepts you? Most white Americans do not deal with this fear and if you were willing to leave gay enclaves you wouldn’t either.
