Guardian Angels volunteer to patrol Jewish neighborhoods in New York City after spate of recent attacks

Guardian Angels preparing for a morning patrol

The Guardian Angels, a private, unarmed crime-prevention group, said it would start patrolling New York City’s Brooklyn borough on Sunday following a series of anti-Semitic attacks.

Curtis Sliwa, who founded the organization in 1979 in New York City, said the patrols would start at noon in the Crown Heights neighborhood and expand to Williamsburg and Borough Park later in the day.

The move came hours before five people were wounded in a stabbing attack during a Hanukkah party at a rabbi’s house about 30 miles outside of New York late Saturday night.

The latest incident followed eight attacks on Jews in Brooklyn since Dec. 13, according to the New York Police Department.

The violence included victims being struck in the face, head and back of the head and at least one suspect throwing a beverage at someone, police said.

“These attacks are taking place, and the cops have not been proactive at all,” Sliwa said Saturday. “It comes from City Hall and the mayor. He’s been just apathetic.”

The press office for Mayor Bill de Blasio responded in a statement Saturday, saying, “We have no tolerance for anti-Semitism in New York City.

“The best police department in the world has increased deployment in Crown Heights, Boro Park and Williamsburg, and has launched a new intelligence unit to prevent hate crimes from occurring,” it continued. “We will continue to work hand in hand with the community to keep our city safe.”

Prior to Saturday night’s stabbing, the latest attack occurred Friday when a woman allegedly slapped three females in Brooklyn and later told officers it was because they’re Jewish, police said at a news conference.

What most of the mainstream media has not mentioned is that the majority of suspects in these attacks from the shooting in New Jersey to the attack last night have been committed by black Americans and no one seems to know the motive behind the uptick in attacks on religious Jews.
