Isn’t it strange that the news media in general (not just the local NYC media), does not report these repeated attacks against Jews in Crown Heights, Williamsburg, and Borough Park? The news media was also tone deaf during the Pogrom in Crown Heights in 1991.

Why is it strange? Business as usual.

why does the media cover up these crimes you ask? Answer may be simple google’ operation mockingbird’ or google ‘interview between bill colby and carl bernstein’, to learn how the US goyerment controls the news media. Then read the book ,the secret war against the Jews by john loftus. Then you will see the christian US goyerment conspiracy against Jewish people. And you foolishly believe trump when he says the media is out to get him,! In fact trump as president runs the news media thru his cia and state dept
…Including imo the time herald record of middletown..
