Upper East Side Menorah Vandalized Twice

The Menorah in Carl Schurz park near 86 Street in Manhattan, was vandalized not once but TWICE, yes that's right twice and the NYPD is only investigating this as a POSSIBLE hate crime.

Guess it doesn't matter much if you're a Jew in NYC or anywhere for that matter. I bet if it were some muslim religious symbol not only would they be calling it a hate crime but we'd be subjected to DeBlasio telling us not to treat all muslims negatively and to check our racist hate at the door.

Never mind that it's the symbol of our freedom and taking back of our Temple and that it was damaged two days in a row. Why they didn't have surveillance to begin with, and at the very least after the first time is baffling. I guess the city is too busy dolling out our tax dollars to his good friend Linda Sarsour's "non-profit" to allocate proper funds to keeping the safety of the citizens of NYC a priority, especially if they are Jewish.

Sarsour's group receives  $164 thousand annually from the NY City Council and she is laughably the senior strategist for the Campaign to Take on Hate but tweeted back in October of 2015 that throwing stones at Israelis was brave, and then went on to verbally attack NYC council member, Rory Lancmen for admonishing her for it, and further called him a Zionist Troll. 

So it really is preposterous to think that Jewish citizens of NYC will get equal protection from a City Government that is run in this fashion. 

Shame on us. We live in peace too long and forget we are just their second class citizens too often.
