BROOKLYN, NY (JTA) — The Guardian Angels said it would start patrolling in Brooklyn after an increase in anti-Semitic attacks in the area.

The group’s founder, Curtis Sliwa, told NBC News that the patrols would start on Sunday, first at noon in Crown Heights and later in the day also in Williamsburg and Borough Park.
The Guardian Angels is a private, unarmed crime-prevention group.
The announcement came in the wake of at least eight attacks on Jews in Brooklyn since Dec. 13, and hours before an attack on a Hanukkah party at a Hasidic rabbi’s home in Monsey, New York in Rockland County, that left five injured, two seriously.
Sliwa said local leaders of the Lubavitch-Chabad movement asked for his group’s help. He said that he believes the Guardian Angels patrols will stop the attacks.
“We’re a visual deterrence in our red berets and our red satin jackets,” he said. “Nobody’s going to commit an attack when we’re around.”
Perhaps the Guardian Angels can negotiate a peace between Shomrim and Shmira, while they’re at it.
Thanks to the Guardian Angels. But Jews need to DEFEND OURSELVES!
Nebach, HaShem where is HaGoan HaTzaddik HaRav Meir Kahane Z’TL. If there were The JDL this would not be happening..
Yingale__ don’t take this personally tzaddikel , but you’re what we call in Yiddish — a leidigeir. You and your shadow , the runny – nosy c. Rab with the speech impediment. Instead if paranoing away about Zionism and preaching tefilah, why don’t open a sefer today? It’s Zos Chanukah, a day of segulos.
BTW_ __ Why are obsessive compulsive anti-Zionists the hugest Hippo- crites?
**** BECAUSE THEY HAVE A CERTAIN HISTORY TO HIDE, Dr. Watson.*****
Dear Yingale: Throw down a C note and see an orthodontist. Hard to understand you thru buck teeth. You’ll look better too.
Curtis Sliwa is a backstabbing phony who can’t be trusted. Stay far away from him.
