NEW YORK (VINnews) — Politician Dov Hikind, founder of “Americans Against Antisemitism”, says that the rate of antimsemitic attacks in the U.S. is the worst it have ever been, and he is blaming minorities.

In an appearance on Newsmax TV, Mr. Hikind was asked about the claim made by leftists that the biggest threat to Jews are white supremacists, yet the attack in Colleyville, Texas was done by a jihadist, and antisemitism in New York City, which is rampant, is not done by white supremacists.
Mr. Hikind replied, “All you have to have is eyes to see who the perpetrators are. They come from the minority community very often. All the attacks in New York City in the past 2 years, the people belting, attacking, and beating Jews, they are not even white.”
He added, “Let’s be freaking honest, so much of this hate is emanating from the minority community. If we don’t talk about it and face it, how are we ever going to deal with it?”

Mr. Hikind continued, “Two years ago when attacks were happening day after day, Mayor deBlasio was talking about white supremacists. I could not find a white supremacist in New York. It’s just an excuse, a way to not deal with the reality. We need to start a real dialogue about those committing the acts of hate.
“The big question is, where is this hate coming from? We have a situation over the last three years of antismeitic attacks like we have never seen in this country.”
Host Logan Ratick commented on the media excusing attackers and blaming “mental illness”, when the real mental illness is being radicalized by Islamic fundamentalism.
In response Mr. Hikind said, “In every case of an antisemitic incident, the perpetrator has a mental illness. It’s freaking preposterous.”
He added, “Jews are afraid, people are taking off their yarmulkas. This is America, the greatest country on earth, and people need to take off their yarmulkas?”
Mr. Hikind blasted politicians, saying “You know who is responsible, the freaking politicians. They are a bunch of frauds. They are dishonest with the public.
He concluded by saying, ”How could a 21 year old university student last week, who in this case was white, tell an 8, 7, and 3 year old that ‘Hitler should have killed you all?’ Where is this hate coming from?”
Its true
Although antsemites come in all shapes and sizes THE so called African American community definitely has its share but also the rise in immigration from Arab countries even those that are in the USA a longer period is definitely the cause of the rise in various attacks on the Jewish community Jews learn to defend yourself s and always carry some sort of weapon this is the unfortunate reality
Chasdei Hashem I attended Dov’s business seminar called “There is no business like Shoah business” B”H I’m doing very well now.
Dov who?
Don’t knock Dov on this. He’s correct. The level of jealousy, and therefore hatred, is off the charts. First it’s anti-jew and then it’s anti-white in general.
He speaks the truth which is aguda and FJCC ignore him
Minority community?
The community he euphemistically refers to is probably the majority in NYC, certainly greater than the number of Jews.
That should be “American Against Anti-Semitism”. But seriously it should be noted that just at the time that Jewish wealth and societal influence is greater than it’s ever been in American history, that coincidentally is the time when anti-semitism is “the worst it has ever been”? Maybe we should talk to ourselves, because the other side isn’t going to listen.
It is from the democratic party left, with the full support of the entire party who openly support and defend their Jew hating terrorist supporting members, going as far as condemning anyone who calls out these Jew hating terrorist supporters.
Dov Hikind, who, as a prominent Jewish politician, went to a Purim party in Blackface causing a huge chilul Hashem by this racist act, certainly made his contribution to the antisemitism he is now decrying.
“the minority community” ?!?!
As if all minorities are one giant monolith?!
There is no “the minority community.”
Well sure.
Except for the guy who slaughtered the Jews in Pittsburgh. Other than him, all minorities.
Well, and the guys in Charlottesville, you remember “The Jews will not replace us?” Other than those guys all minorities.
Seriously, this guy is a goof.
can’t hikind just talking? he just needs to feel relevant. IT’S COMING FROM ALL SIDES
The fact remains, if you go into the Deep South those communities that have some
observant Jews left are and do experience blatant anti semitism. View any video of the Proud boys, Aryans, and the rest of those nauseating persons, they are all white. Why does he bring up minorities because in NYC those persons are not welcome and made to feel uncomfortable, and cannot carry their guns in the street as an intimidation. That said I remember the saying: Mere fabrent nicht the uigen of menchen. The wealth we have accumulated too often is flaunted, creating a socio economic jealousy which in turn creates a blame the jew narrative. Too often we see sad results, but we as people need to and often do reach out to those that are less fortunate regardless of their race of religious affiliation, most often they are IMMIGRANTS legal or not.
Thanks , Dov , for proclaiming , ” The emperor has no clothes on.”
I have been saying this over and over. Rabbi DR, BERNHARD ROSENBERG
Perhaps whites are not attacking Jews because Jews live mostly between minorities. Sorry but white extremists are not better and can actually be more cruel than “minority Jew-haters”.
Mr Hikind as we all know is following in the footsteps of his mentor Rabbi Meir Kahane.
Kahane loved anti-Semitism because that would force Jews to make Aliyah to Israel. Just as Theodor Herzl wrote in his diary that anti-Semitism are Jews best friends.
Mr Hikind, please make Aliyah to your homeland and let Frum Yidden live their lives. We don’t need you here to take advantage of anti-Semitism. Don’t fuel the fire.
Why is Hikind appearing on Newsmax TV which is an extreme biased 3rd rate media outlet? Now that he’s out of office, having moved from Brooklyn to the Five Towns, does he feel the need to appear on TV every one in a while to try and be relevant? Has he commented on the anti Semitic remarks made by 2 Republican Congresswomen?
Hikind is the same fraud that he was when he “teaching” in Toras Emes back in the 70s. He can’t find white supremacists? How about looking in the mirror, Dov. How about looking at the community you think you still represent.
All the attacks are emanating from the minority community? That’s about as true and as responsible if people said (and they DO say) “All of the slumlords are religious Jews”.
Your 15 minutes of fame should have been over 40 years ago, Dov.
