I don't seem to see mosques being attacked this way even though they deserve it.

If it was Kahanes ADL they would not make pansy statements like:

"My sense is more often than not what's happening now is related to Middle Eastern politics." Namely, the stalemate about Israel, Penslar says.

Mark Potok of the Southern Poverty Law Center cited FBI statistics showing an actual decrease in hate crime incidents against Jews during the current recession.

I wonder why nobody has pointed to Ron Paul as an instigator of antisemitic attitudes... All one needs to do is read a news site with Ron Paul articles and see all the antisemitic talkbacks...

If the attackers had to risk getting past a mob of 20 or 30 tough Jews with metal pipes and heavy metal flashlights-I don't the attack would take place.

Swastika earrings reportedly no longer for sale at Brooklyn jewelry store
By Joshua Rhett Miller
Published January 12, 2012 | FoxNews.com

The owner of a Brooklyn jewelry store criticized for selling swastika earrings will reportedly stop selling the controversial item.

New York City Councilman Steve Levin, D-Brooklyn, visited Bejeweled in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, on Wednesday and met with owner Young Sook Kim, who agreed to remove them from the shelves, the Daily News reports.

A day earlier, politicians and advocates told FoxNews.com that the earrings were the latest example of anti-Semitism in New York and New Jersey. Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer demanded that the store immediately stop selling them.

"Let me be clear -- a swastika is not a fashion statement," Stringer said in a statement to FoxNews.com. "It is the most hateful symbol in our culture, and an insult to any civilized person."

But the store's manager defended the $5.99 earrings, saying the swastika is a symbol of eternity in Tibetan Buddhism, not just a symbol popularized by Nazi Germany.

"It's not a Nazi symbol," Kim told FoxNews.com on Wednesday. "I don't know what's the problem. My earrings are coming from India as a Buddhist symbol."

The swastika -- an equilateral cross with arms bent at right angles -- is an ancient symbol that remains used in Indian religions like Hinduism and Buddhism. It was also used by Native Americans long before it was adopted by Adolf Hitler during his rise to power in the 1930s.

Kim said she had received no complaints about the earrings as of early Wednesday.

On Tuesday, Stringer detailed a rash of anti-Semitic incidents in Manhattan and Brooklyn dating back to October, when two anti-Semitic letters were sent to the Jewish Theological Seminary in Manhattan. Most recently, four swastikas were found scrawled on business storefronts in Manhattan on Sunday. Other incidents include the mugging of a prominent rabbi in Brooklyn on Jan. 4 and a Brooklyn subway station defaced with "Avenue JEW" graffiti on Nov. 11, he said.

Ulli:
It is shocking. Hopefully they will catch the criminals soon.
