Three cars were set on fire and anti-Semitic and racist graffiti was spray painted in Brooklyn early Friday morning, the day after the anniversary of Hitler’s systematic attack on Jews known as Kristallnacht.
Residents in the largely Jewish New York neighborhood of Midwood awoke to find cars torched, eight benches defaced with swastikas and the words “f**k the Jews“ and ”SS” painted on nearby sidewalks, the New York Daily News reported. A van also had the letters “KKK” written on it as well.
“When you drive down the block, it looks like a war zone,” one resident told the Brooklyn Daily.
The NYPD’s Hate Crimes Task Force is investigating, according to the Daily News, and City Councilman David Greenfield has offered a $1,000 reward for information leading to an arrest.

Yesterday I watched an old movie I haven’t seen since the 70′s when I was a youth. The book the Hiding place I also read in the 70′s as a Catholic youth. It touched me then and left a very strong seed in my heart. Some might ask how can one who was raised Christian at some point in their life become a White Nationalist? It is a fair question.
I think of the Bible verse of teach a child the true Christian faith and when he grows up, he will return to it, even if for awhile he leaves it. I know that is what happen to me. I allowed anger to destroy my faith back then. I was angry at a fellow Catholic who pretended to be my friend. I was angry at the church because they wouldn’t make this person face me Catholic to Catholic and we talk things out and forgive each other as we are told to do as Catolics. I felt there was a double standard of one standard for the rich Catholic and another for us poor Catholics. His sins were overlooked and we were told just to let it go, even if it meant we were to be denied the truth or that justice would be ignored as well. I was angry with myself for believing in this person and thinking he was a good person who believed in the true Catholic faith. Because I was angry and had so much anger in my heart, I rejected the church I had always loved. The Catholic Church was my safe place as a kid. I had lost faith. Anger only destroys us. It doesn’t destroy the person we are angry at for the terrible way they treat us. We must never allow anger in our hearts to take root there. Anger also leads to HATE.
We are all sinners and we all make mistakes. I don’t only blame this person, but blame myself. I didn’t handle things in the best possible way, and frankly with my emotional problems it was easy for people to make me look bad. I was the true and loyal friend, who didn’t want anything for myself. Maybe a little, as I was hoping I had found someone I could work with to shine the light on the evil in the world. All my life I had dreamed of working side by side and together fight to protect the Constitution of the United States that we had both vowed to protect. Me as a Political Daughter of the American Revolution and him as a member of Congress. I was told that this person and I were a lot alike. You would think we would have understood each other and not judge each other, and be a safe harbor in the storm for each other. Having one person that you could talk to, and share your thoughts, dreams and wishes too, knowing that that person would share those same goals of fighting evil with good. I don’t have a strong mind, but I have a heart of Gold. Sometimes we make the best warriors and soldiers because we have the heart to keep on fighting and believing when all hope seems gone.
All my life people have misunderstood and misjudged me. I was the talk of the neighborhood, yet what they were saying about me was lies at worst and half truths at best. Instead of coming to me and talking to me looking into my eyes, they continued to pass the rummors around and even made the rummors more terrible then they really were. Whereas they didn’t want to know the truth, but ran with the lies and half truths, I was waiting until I could speak to this person one on one and looking into his eyes as I asked the question of Is this true? If it is true, why? Let us make things right? I haven’t been able to move on because this person refuses to face me and talk to me. Why can’t he look me into the eyes and talk to me? Is it because he is guilty and doesn’t have the courage or heart to talk to me and we do what is right as Catholics? Does he hate me so much, that he enjoys to know how I have suffered over the years? Does he have so little compassion for others when the cameras and reporters are not there?
The Lord is so amazing as he takes one sin at a time. He knows I couldn’t deal with having to deal with all of them at once, so one by one he helps me overcome the sin. Right now, I am working on letting go of this person so that I can move forward and live a life. I have allowed the chains of this friendship or should I say friendship on only my side, to chain me to the past. I haven’t had peace because I haven’t been able to talk to this person and have him look me straight in the eyes and tell me the truth. He should know I would never do anything on purpose to hurt him.
America that we grew up in is quickly changing. We are living in an America that is becoming more hateful toward Jews, Christians, Moderate Muslims, Conservatives, and Republicans. The Progressive Socialists and White Nationalists agree that all the problems are because of Jews, capitalists, and Christians. They both believe in Socialism but one from the Communist and the other a National Socalism. The state is what is important and not the people. You join the collective or else.
They both believe that Israel has no right to exist. They both have joined forces with radical islam to work toward their common goal of the destruction of the United States and Israel. History always repeats itself as man refuses to learn so as to stop it from happening again. We see the seeds starting to pop up of that same OLD HATE toward Jews and Christians. Will we as a generation have the courage to stand up to the evil of HATE? Or will we deny it is happening and justify why we mustn’t stand up and rock the boat?
I don’t think we will have the courage to stand up to evil. There will be some of us who will. Who will let God work in our lives and allow God to give us the courage and strength needed to do his Will.
I don’t know who is behind this HATE crime, but the reality is that it is only going to continue and get worst. We Jews, Christians, Moderate Muslims, Conservatives, Capitalist and Independent Thinkers are in for a bumpy ride and we better fasten our seat belts. We must encourage each other and support each other. We must put God as number 1 in our lives. We must seek to do his will and not our will.
Love is the answer and not anger or hate.
Hope everyone has a nice Saturday.
Love and Blessings to all
Chrisy
