ANOTHER JEWISH CEMETERY WAS TARGETED BY VANDALS OVER
THE WEEKEND.
THIS IS A CEMETERY IN NORTHEAST PHILADELPHIA AND ACCORDING
TO JIM REYNOLDS, JIM MCREYNOLDS DETECTIVE FOR THE PHILADELPHIA
POLICE DEPARTMENT AT LEAST 75 TO 100 HEADSTONES THAT MELT
CARAMEL CEMETERY WERE DISCOVERED OCTOBER SUNDAY MORNING.
SEVERAL OF THE HEADSTONES WERE BROKEN.
HERE ARE SOME PICTURES OF WHAT THE SCENE LOOKED LIKE.
THE ANTI-DEFAMATION LEAGUE IS OFFERING A REWARD OF $10,000
FOR INFORMATION LEADING TO THE ARREST OF THE PERPETRATORS.
APPARENTLY THERE WAS NO SURVEILLANCE OR CAMERAS
THERE SO THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHO DID IT OR WHAT THE MOTIVE WAS
BUT IT IS IMPORTANT TO KEEP IN MIND THE CONTEXT OF EVERYTHING.
THIS IS THE SECOND SITUATION WHERE VANDALS TARGETED A
PREDOMINATELY JEWISH CEMETERY AND JEWISH COMMUNITY
CENTERS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY HAVE BEEN RECEIVING BOMB
THREATS AND ALL SORTS OF THREATS.
HARD TO BELIEVE, MAYBE IT'S DRUNK KIDS AND THEY JUST
FILLING WRECKING THE CEMETERY.
I DON'T THINK THAT IS WHAT DRUNK KIDS DO.
WE HAD THIS RESPONSE ON MY TWITTER FEED MAKES ME HESITANT
TO SAY THIS BUT LOOK, WE ALL KNOW IF THEY FIND OUT WHO
DID IT, THEY DID IT BECAUSE IT WAS A JEWISH CEMETERY.
ODDS ARE, I'M ALL FOR INVESTIGATING INDEPENDENTLY
BUT ODDS ARE THAT IS WHAT IT IS GOING TO BE.
LET ME GIVE YOU ALL SIDES OF IT.
OBVIOUSLY THE JEWISH CEMETERY IN ST.
LOUIS AND NOW THIS.
FURTHERMORE IN JANUARY SOMEONE THREW ROCKS THROUGH A WINDOWS IN
A PHILADELPHIA SYNAGOGUE AND A WINDOW ADDED TEMPLE WAS
BROKEN IN DECEMBER.
THE SAME AREA.
THEY THINK THOSE TWO ARE CONNECTED BUT NOT A HATE CRIME.
PROBABLY NOT THE SAME IF THIS IS A HATE CRIME BUT I JUST
WANT TO BE CLEAR.
THERE WERE TWO STONES KNOCKED OVER EARLIER THIS MONTH AT
HOLY REDEEMER CEMETERY WHICH IS A CATHOLIC BURIAL GROUND 2
MILES AWAY.
I WAS GOING TO SAY, IT'S TOTALLY RELEVANT I HEADSTONES
ARE BEING KNOCKED OVER ELSEWHERE PHILADELPHIA THEN THAT SUGGESTS
JUST A DEGREE OF DEMENTED NESTS IN YOUNG PEOPLE.
WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE?
WAS IN A MOSQUE OR A CHURCH THAT WAS BURNT DOWN?
IT WAS A MOSQUE I THINK AND THEY WROTE SOMETHING ABOUT TRUMP.
NO I'M SORRY, IT WAS A BLACK CHURCH.
AND PEOPLE THOUGHT BECAUSE IT SAID VOTE TRUMP OR WHATEVER
THAT WAS PROBABLY FOR TRUMPED I TURNED OUT THAT IT WAS
ACTUALLY SOMEONE WHO GOES TO THE CHURCH.
HE HAS HIS OWN PROBLEMS.
YOU NEVER KNOW FOR SURE.
BUT WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF BOMB THREATS AGAINST DOZENS OF JEWISH
COMMUNITY CENTERS ACROSS THE COUNTRY AND THIS HAPPENED
RECENTLY.
HERE'S WHAT WE SHOULD DO.
INVESTIGATE.
IS ALL I'M ASKING FOR.
WITH LOOK INTO THIS.
IS NOT GOOD CONTEXT AND ACTUALLY WANT TO GIVE A TON OF
CREDIT TO A WHOLE SET OF FOLKS THAT ARE RIGHTLY SAYING
LET'S INVESTIGATE THIS AND FIGURE OUT WHAT HAPPENED.
ANTI-DEFAMATION LEAGUE AND MY FAVORITE WAS THE ANNE FRANK CTR.
AND THEY CALLED ON PRESIDENT TRUMP NOT BECAUSE HE DID IT
OR HIS SUPPORTERS NECESSARILY DID IT, THAT'S WHAT THE
INVESTIGATION IS FOR.
THEY SAID BASICALLY YOU TOOK A LONG TIME TO ANSWER WHETHER
RISING ANTI- SIMAS IS HIM IS RISING IN THE COUNTRY.
BUT WHEN THIS IS HAPPENING IN TOMBSTONES ARE BEING KNOCKED
OVER AND BOMB THREATS ARE BEING CALLED INTO THESE JEWISH
COMMUNITY CENTERS, YOU HAVE TO SPEAK UP IMMEDIATELY,
FORCEFULLY AND WHY NOT DO A PRESS CONFERENCE ABOUT THIS?
CALL ATTENTION TO IT.
ONE MORE THING, HE SAID MISTER PRESIDENT, THIS IS THE AND
FRANK CTR.,
MISTER PRESIDENT IS TIME FOR YOU TO DELIVER PRIMETIME
SPEECH FROM THE OVAL OFFICE ON HOW YOU INTEND TO COMMENT
NOT ONLY CAN ANTISEMITISM
BUT ALSO ISLAM A PHOBIA ANOTHER RISE FORMS OF HATE.
THEIR POINT IS THE HATE LEADS TO MORE HAND BY THE WAY,
WE'RE DECENT HUMAN BEINGS WHO WILL CARE FOR EACH OTHER.
YOU SHOULD FIGHT AGAINST BOTH OF THOSE THINGS.
THEY ARE BOTH SIGNIFICANT PROBLEMS.
WHEN TRUMP SPOKE UP ABOUT IT, I DON'T CARE.
I DON'T THINK SPEAKING UP ABOUT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING
THE PRESIDENT DOES.
THIS IS SYMBOLIC GESTURES.
HEAR THE ARGUMENT THAT THEY ARE IMPORTANT TO SOME.
TAKEN IN THE CONTEXT OF LEAVING JEWS OUT OF THE HOLOCAUST
AND THERE AGAIN AS A PATTERN AND A SUGGESTION HERE BUT HE
DID IT IN A WAY THAT WAS INCREDIBLY UNTRIMMED BEAN.
ONE OF THE GREAT THINGS ABOUT TRUMP, NOT A GREAT THING,
ONE OF THE EFFECTIVE THINGS ABOUT TRUMP IF YOU ARE
SUPPORTER AS HE HAS THIS REMARKABLY UNIQUE WAY OF
COMMUNICATING WHICH IS INCREDIBLY EFFECTIVE.
IS BEFUDDLED MOST OF THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA.
WE DO KNOW HOW TO HANDLE IT.
IT IS CONFUSING.
HE READ STRAY FROM A PAPER LOOKING DOWN THE ENTIRE TIME
WITHOUT ANY OF THE HEY, KNOCK IT OFF.
IT'S BAD.
IT'S VERY VERY BAD.
AND I'M TIRED OF IT THAT A PUT A STOP TO IT, YOU WATCH.
NONE OF THAT STUFF WHICH IS THE GOOFY WAY HE HAS A SPEAKING.
BELIEVE ME, HE CAN GIVE AN ANTI-VANDALISM ABOUT JEWS SPEECH
WITHOUT NOTES WITH NO PROBLEMS I SEEMED WE CAN EXACTLY WHAT IT
WAS THEY TOLD ME HAVE TO DO THIS.
HE USES TOUGH TALK WHEN HE TALKS ABOUT MEXICANS AND
DESCRIPTION LANGUAGE AND LIKES TO GENERALIZE AND STEREOTYPE
THEM AND TALK ABOUT HOW BAD THEY ARE THEY ARE CRIMINALS AND HE
USES A LOT OF TOUGH TALK WHEN IT COMES TO ISSUES LIKE THAT BUT
WHEN IT COMES TO ISSUES INVOLVING ANTI-SEMITISM OR
ISLAMIC PHOBIA, BIGOTRY, HATRED, BEGRUDGINGLY SAYS ANYTHING
CONDEMNING AT THE
HOW BUT THE BEST PART OF THE STORY, AND ST.
LOUIS AND MADE A
HAPPEN HERE, $20,000 RAISED BY A MUSLIM GROUP.
THEY MET THEIR GOAL WITHIN EIGHT MINUTES AND BUSTED THROUGH THE
GOAL AND A FRIEND OF OURS HELPED ENORMOUSLY AND GAVE SOME.
IT
TURNS OUT HIS FAMILY IS IN THAT CEMETERY AND DIDN'T REALIZE IT.
HE JUST THOUGHT IT WAS NICE AND THAT'S WHY AND AGAIN, JEWS
AND MUSLIMS COMING TOGETHER.
THERE ARE SOME NICE THINGS HAPPENING AS A RESULT OF THIS.
IT'S GOOD TO SEE.
THE MUSLIM GROUP THAT WAS HELPING HAS PROMISED TO
ALSO HELP IN PHILADELPHIA AS WELL.
GOD BLESS THEM.
AND REPAIRING THE DAMAGE THAT WAS DONE HERE.
AGAIN, THE ANNE FRANK CTR.
SAID THE PROBLEM IS WHEN YOU DON'T
ADDRESS IT SEEMS LIKE YOU ARE GIVING OXYGEN TO THE PEOPLE WHO
ARE TAKING IT AS A NEGATIVE SIGN.
YOU'RE RIGHT, BEN AND ANNA WHEN TRUMP WANTS TO SAY SOMEONE
IS BAD, HE KNOWS HOW TO DO IT.
THEY ARE BAD DUDES, BAD ANDRES.
THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF THAT GOING ON TO
I'M IN A CHANGE MY MIND I'M PERSUADED BECAUSE I GET TIRED OF
TALKING ABOUT POLITICIANS WHO DON'T CONDEMN BECAUSE WE SPEND A
LOT OF OXYGEN, THE RIGHT DOES IT WITH HOW COME CENTRIST MUSLIMS
DON'T SPEAK OUT AGAINST THIS AND THEN WE FIRE BACK WITH HOW COME
CENTRIST WHITE PEOPLE DON'T KILL AND SHOT THE INDIANS.
IT'S NOT THEIR JOB.
IT'S NOT THING THAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN.
YOU DO GIVE IT OXYGEN AND IF YOU ARE THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
STATES OF AMERICA YOU SHOULD CONDEMN IT FORCEFULLY AND WITH
THE FULL POWER AND AWESOMENESS OF YOUR OFFICE.
WE'VE SEEN TRUMP USE OUT ALL OF THE TIME WHEN IT IS
SOMETHING THAT HE CARES ABOUT.
HE TOOK FOREVER HERE AND THEN HE DID IT IN VERY WEAK FASHION.
I WOULD LIKE TO SEE HIM DO A WITH SOME DEGREE OF
AGGRESSION AND TRUMPET NESTS.
ONE LAST THING, IT IS NOT THAT HARD.
IT IS SO EASY.
UNLESS YOU THINK, REMEMBER THE FIRST TIME HE WAS ASKED
ABOUT ANTI-SEMITISM HE STARTED TALKING ABOUT HIS HUGE
ELECTRICAL COLLEGE WHEN IN THE TREMENDOUS ENTHUSIASM.
THE POINT WAS I DON'T WANT TO DAMPEN THE ENTHUSIASM.
IT'S NOT HE'S IN FAVOR OF IT, I'M SURE HE'S AGAINST IT.
HE LOVES HIS DAUGHTER AND LIKES A SON-IN-LAW BUT WHAT HE DOESN'T
WANT TO DO IS IRRITATE THOSE PEOPLE IN SOME OF HIS MOST
ENTHUSIASTIC SUPPORTERS.
