Is this the solution?
Four New York orthodox Jewish elected officials are calling on Governor Andrew Cuomo to declare a “state of emergency” and deploy the New York National Guard to Jewish neighborhoods throughout the state.
Their request follows a series of anti-Semitic attacks in Crown Heights, Boro Park and Williamsburg over the last week, adding to the uptick in violent attacks and verbal abuses against Jews in recent months in New York.
The latest was the stabbing of Jews celebrating Chanukah on Motzoei Shabbos at a shul in Monsey by a machete-wielding man. A few have been injured, while many more had been spared.
Signing the letter to Cuomo were New York City Councilman Kalman Yeger and Chaim Deutsch, New York State Senator Simcha Felder and Assemblyman Simcha Eichenstein.
“We’re calling for a state of emergency in New York. We need help from the State Police & the National Guard so that we can protect our constituents,” Councilman Deutsch said.
“Our communities are shaken. We have watched our neighbors beaten, stabbed, & gunned down. We don’t feel safe in our own homes.”
Meeting extremist individuals with extreme measures is an important factor. Factor , not final solution! Firstly, releasing accused, with little or no bail, sends a very distorted message! Secondly, World wide notoriety, is what some of these individuals seek! What is the public education system and news, doing to educate and identify this systemic illness? Thirdly, arming all individuals with noxious substances can deter some aggression! Let’s educate the world , with Moments of silence, to recognize The Creator of the universe and be prepared to combat aggresive behavior. NEVER AGAIN!!
Teach and insist that The Seven Noahide Laws be extant and supported, throughout the United States.
Anything else will fail. Anything else is small, and uncivilized.
Next year we could have a repeat of this horrendous incident.
If the government doesn’t do what it should the Jews have to.
The modern Democrat party’s says that’s unconstitutional
Well if we all supported progressive politicians over the last 50 years which brought about the utter eradication of the Noahide Laws then what are you gonna do now, turn back the clock?
Exactly ! Well put!!
Time for every jewish school to provide Krav Maga lessons and for every jewish father to carry a gun.
There is no reason for us to be so helpless and scared.
You’re missing the point. Besides which that krav maga probably won’t protect you against two knife wielding – let alone gun brandishing – hoodlums, all these attacks are messages from heaven that we must fix up certain things. Don’t we Chabad know that even a leaf falls only by divine providence? So much more so attack against Jews. We must repent.
It looks like this request may have gotten approved – there’s a state trooper parked outside 770. Might be time for a new post.

Let us just say that all these Jewish assembly people support the laws that uproot the seven Noahide mittsvos, so maybe we can thank them for Heavn’s wrath.
