(Jewish Group) Jewish Blood on the Streets of Jersey City

[Behind the Aegis]

(THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP! RESPECT!!)

Martin Luther King Jr. Drive between Bayview and Bidwell streets in Jersey City, New Jersey, is the kind of block that people in the New York area tend to idealize, one in which an astounding diversity of life is crammed into half the length of a football field. The JC Kosher Supermarket, where Moshe Hersh Deutch, a yeshiva student, and Leah Mindel Ferencz, a 33-year-old mother and the store’s co-owner, were murdered yesterday by Black Hebrew gunmen who targeted the store, sits midblock between a synagogue and a tax preparer’s office. Farther down the block, a liquor store and the Reaching Out Deliverance Ministries share adjacent storefronts opposite a tranquil old Catholic school.

The JC Kosher Supermarket is Jersey City’s only kosher grocery store. It serves 100 or so families from the Satmar Hasidic group who live in the immediate neighborhood, where community members have moved over the past four years to escape skyrocketing property costs in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Jersey City was a place where religious Jews could get everything they needed, a cheap and spacious foothold for whoever wanted out of Brooklyn but didn’t want to move too far from New York City.

The attack was waged on the heart of a young Jewish community. The attack’s two Jewish victims died within feet of the community’s main mikvah, which is a squat single-story addition protruding from behind the synagogue. A story below is a boy’s school where 57 young children were learning when the shooting started. If not for the quick intervention of multiple SWAT teams, the carnage in Jersey City would clearly have been even worse. As the attack continued, men on lockdown in the shul next door to the kosher supermarket recited psalms and prayed for a safe end to the crisis—the group reportedly included Leah Ferencz’s husband. On Wednesday morning, one could glimpse into the exposed storefront of the kosher supermarket and see what appeared to be containers of soup mandel as workers busily constructed a plywood barrier to shield the crime scene from both the elements and public view.

Local members of the Satmar community insist that they had never had any issues with their neighbors. “Good is an understatement—we get along with our neighbors very well,” said community leader Chesky Deutch. More than one Satmar community member I spoke with pointed out that it was unknown whether the attackers, who appeared to belong to an extremist group of Black Hebrews, were locals.

Dead Jews. Who's to blame? JEWS!
Anti-Semitism in action. Where's the focus? Some bullshit order from the asshole in the WH!
Sorry for yet another thread on anti-Semitism, I know it vexes some that the Jewish group would have posts on anti-Semitism.

1. The comments from the non-Jewish residents of the neighborhood is as disturbing as the shootings

themselves, trying to justify the killings on being Jewish

Unbelievable, but not surprising
