Would be nice if they stood up against communism now.
Either the majority of Jewish folks don’t read how much BLM and antifa are against them or they just don’t want to know.
And he always made money for his partners.
There are, IMHO, a couple of factors at play here. I have a Jewish background, although I don't consider myself Jewish in faith or conduct. That's a topic for another time. But, I have Jewish relatives.
Most of them are habitual Jews, more or less observant. But, they are basically secular, and they are VERY liberal. They are also very civilized. They aren't going to join a Lansky action group. And, they are unthinkingly, relentlessly liberal, checking the Democratic box without fail.
So, the two factors at play are that vague ideas of liberalism are at least as important to them as religion or principle, and they don't have any real-world hard-knocks common sense.
It reminds me in a way of the beginning of the Rocky III movie, where the trainer is telling Rocky not to fight Clubber Lang, because, he says, "Then... the worst thing happened to you that can happen to a fighter. You became civilized."
The Jews who survived the pogroms and came to the US or Israel in the early to mid 20th century didn't have that failing.

Not so much.
Not pinging this piece, there's already too much glorification of organized crime. From the perspective of Mafia history, Lansky also helped keep the violent and ambitious Genovese in check for years. Jack Ruby, another Jewish gangster, is best known for his silencing of the Mob's patsy, Lee Harvey Oswald.
There won’t be refuge for Jews in the U.S if Marxist ideology gets the upperhand. It won’t be whitey turning over every rock to get them.Think Ilhan Omar on steroids and what happened in Rwanda. Some Jews will initially cheer from the sidelines and be part of a commie regime. But they eventually get run over.
“Then... the worst thing happened to you that can happen to a fighter. You became civilized.”
As Duane Bobick said on SNL after Ken Norton KO’d him in 58 seconds,
“Support the Black Educational Conference. Remember, an educated black man is a weaker opponent.”
That’s good. I missed that episode.
I can’t think of their name right now but there is a group of militant Jews on the west coast I think California maybe even in LA that group together to protect synagogues
The ADL today is not the ADL I helped in the late 60’s/early 70’s. when real men, not Obama Marxists, ran it.
The problem as that liberal Jewish leaders, including the Communist and FDR-duped Rabbi Steven Wise (of same named synagogue fame) trusted Roosevelt and the Left to help save European Jews. It didn’t really work.
FDR bought off the dupe Wise with the Jewish Refugee Committee or group of similar name, a literally powerless organization set up to make Roosevelt seem to be doing something.
Remember the fate of the passengers of the SS St. Louis? FDR could have told Batista or his predecessor to let them land in Cuba and it would have happened.
FDR was only a “friend” of American Jews (and some European Jews) when he could use them for political or defense purposes. Otherwise, they were expendable.
We need Israeli Jews over here. They know how to fight and don’t (pardon the pun) pull any punches. It’s called survival, and they face it firsthand each and every day in Israel. Until American Jews toughen up and realize the dangers to their very existence and stop their herd mentality of voting Dem, they will be on the shortlist for eventual extinction, even in this Country.
Just wait until the “Squad” and their ilk gets the reins of power in Congress and radical Dems gain the presidency. All bets are off then in this Country, and the Jews had better figure out whose side they should really be on. Some people are slow learners though, to their detriment and that includes the Republican RINO’s who haven’t figured this out either. In the blink of an eye our way of life can go down the drain. We are one election away from tyranny. And/or one election away from a second Civil War.
Israel is kept free only by real Jewish men who are ready to kill in order to do so.
They have earned the right to tell the rest of the world to....how do you say `f*** off’ in Hebrew?
Sick of all the appeasers.
I have a little story to tell about a park I used to visit while working at UIC (Univ. of IL at Chicago). At lunchtime, I would bring myself and my lunch to a pretty little park located on the edge of Campus that was located in the old Italian neighborhood that UIC bought up a lot of, in order to build their permanent University back in the 1950’s. UIC started out temporarily located at Navy Pier in downtown Chicago until the new Campus was built.
I would drive over to the park to a cul-de-sac that looked out on the park and a beautiful fountain with a statue of Christopher Columbus surrounded by a circle of water. I’d eat then back to work. (As an aside, there were a couple of wonderful Italian corner grocery stores right in the neighborhood, with Deli’s in the back of the stores; best Italian subs I ever had.) I went to the park many times.
On one side of the park there were beautiful old Italian row houses (these Italians were big on beautiful carved wooden doors in the front of their homes, and the whole neighborhood was beautifully kept up). Some of these homes were owned by the Italian mafia (one of whom I got to know, but that’s another story for another day). You could tell where some of them resided as there were big stone walls built around their homes. The Italian neighborhood men would pitch pennies on the sidewalks in front of Italian men only private clubs where they would gather during the day to socialize.
There were also wonderful Italian restaurants along a little street right across from where I worked with wonderful food. Most were owned by those living in the hood. On the other side of the park, it was near the beginning of the Black neighborhoods; the dividing line was Roosevelt Road, with Blacks on one side of the park, and Italians on the other side. The park was very peaceful, as the Blacks never encroached on it, or crossed over it, as they knew the Italian mafia lived in the hood, and that if they caused any trouble at all, they wouldn’t physically last very long. The Italian men had no compunctions at all about taking out any Black troublemakers, and the Blacks knew it. An uneasy peace existed along the dividing line, with the beautiful little park located right in the middle of it.
I wonder if that beautiful statue of Columbus surrounded by the fountain still exists, or if it has been toppled by the domestic terrorist mobs of today. It might still be there if the Italians in the hood are still true to form and are guarding their old neighborhood.
I don't think that restriction would be effective if anyone chose active resistance today. There would be 100 selectively-edited cell phone videos, and people opposing the left's domestic terrorists would be identified, charged, and convicted if they approached within arm's length. Solving the problem from 200-plus yards and at 3,000 fps may be the only viable option - for anyone who wants to get physical with America's enemies.
I, too, hope the statue is still there, and perhaps some of your vecci amici from the nearby University can tell you if the statue of Christopher Columbus is still standing.
Let us know what you find out.

Followup to my post # 14 (excerpt from Chgo Sun Times:
“A separate Columbus statue in Chicago, just west of the Shedd Aquarium, was also defaced over the weekend with the letters “BLM” and splashes of red paint. Kaitlyn O’Keefe, 26, of Humboldt Park, was charged with one count of criminal defacement to property in that case, police said. Despite being defaced nearly every year, the damage done to the statue in Little Italy has struck a particular nerve as heated debates have swirled in the community over whether the monument should stay or go.
An African American man that lives in Little Italy said he went to the park after it was vandalized to see how the community was responding. “I’ve never seen so much hate in my community and I lived here for several years,” the man said, asking to remain anonymous for fears of retribution. When he arrived at the park Saturday, a heated argument was going on between a white resident and an African American man. At one point the white man, later identified as a retired Cook County judge, attempted to throw a punch at the man who had been screaming at him, causing police to pull the judge back. No arrests were made in connection with the incident or the earlier vandalism. A Chicago Police Department spokesperson declined to comment on the video.
The neighborhood has been on edge as it is forced to deal with its own internal fights with racism. On Sunday, a woman’s window was shot at with a BB gun, she believes, because there was a Black Lives Matter sign in the window next to it. “We don’t know who did it but we are the only apartment with a ‘Black Lives Matter’ sign on the block and we are the only apartment that had our window shot at,” she said, asking to remain anonymous. “My hope is that it was some kind of fluke or accident, but I don’t know.”
Resident Antonio Musillami, 41, who has relatives who’ve lived in the neighborhood dating back to the 1920s, thinks the statue should be removed and replaced with a more positive figure. Some have suggested the statue be replaced with one honoring Mother Cabrini, who founded a shuttered hospital nearby, or Florence Scala, who fought to save the neighborhood before the UIC opened its Chicago campus. The Chicago Park District didn’t respond to a request for comment. Musillami said some Italian Americans believe Columbus is “sort of the last piece” remaining of their heritage. “It’s a moment in American history right now when people in America are reevaluating historical figures and I don’t think people in the neighborhood can ignore that,” Musillami said.
A source of pride to Italians Joseph Esposito, who heads up the Little Italy Chicago Neighborhood Association, said the statue is a source of pride and the spot where generations of family photos have been taken. “We as Italian Americans, we don’t bother anybody, we don’t tell other groups who to celebrate and who not to. ... Unless you would like to celebrate Columbus with us, and I mean this with all due respect, mind your business. If you don’t like him, don’t celebrate him,” Esposito said. “Nobody’s perfect,” Esposito said of the critics of Columbus. “If it wasn’t for Columbus I honestly believe we wouldn’t be having this conversation right now.”

I've been told stories of this in Chicago but rarely seen an actual article. I've been told it wasn't just Jewish toughs, but also Italian and German. And of course the Irish police, turning the other way.
“The problem as that liberal Jewish leaders, including the Communist and FDR-duped Rabbi Steven Wise (of same named synagogue fame) trusted Roosevelt and the Left to help save European Jews. It didn’t really work.”
I wouldn’t even say Wise was duped, by FDR or by the Communists. Going by this article, he’s if anything even WORSE than a dupe, he’s an up and out sell-out, a quisling, a fellow traveler even: https://www.algemeiner.com/2012/11/04/the-shameful-legacy-of-rabbi-stephen-wise/
Like, for example, did you know it was Wise who directly suggested to FDR that he ignore 400 orthodox Rabbis who were protesting for more action in 1943? Or how about his denouncing Ze’ev Jabotinsky as a traitor during that time, or his referring to Peter Bergson, the leader of the Bergson Group, as “worse than Hitler” just for trying to raise awareness of the Jewish persecutions there, allegedly because somehow, millions of Jews evacuating would increase anti-Semitism. Apparently, Rabbi David Kestenbaum was even phoned by Wise repeatedly to stop pressuring FDR to save the Jews in Europe, even implied that to do so was un-American.
Probably the BIGGEST stain upon him is that he’s not only a likely fellow traveler for Marxism, but he also had the utter gall to actually claim that Marxism is one and the same with Judaism. I believe his exact words to that May 5, 1935 edition of The American Bulletin were “Some call it Communism; I call it Judaism.” So much for being pro-American, or pro-Jewish (especially when the Soviets even under Lenin were arguably even WORSE anti-Semites than Hitler. And let’s not forget Karl Marx, whose writings if anything helped inspire both the Holocaust [The Final Solution being a direct reference to Marx’s On the Jewish Question] and the Doctor’s Plot). Now, I have my own negative views of the Talmud (namely the fact that the authors were arrogant enough to actually claim they beat God in a debate and restrained him to such an extent that he can’t do so much as pee without a majority of the Rabbis to be very blunt. Korah had the exact same idea when he advocated for democracy in Exodus. Look what happened to him and his followers by God’s hand. Long story short, he and the top leaders suffered the same fate as Sodom and Gomorrah, and his remaining followers had a plague inflicted upon them until they cried uncle. Not to mention one passage of the Talmud implies the Jews were to outright ignore the Old Testament, aka the Torah, altogether. I also want to make clear that while I’m anti-Talmud, I’m if anything pro-Semitic.), but to actually claim that such a genocidally anti-Semitic ideology like Marxism (which if anything had more in line with Voltaire’s Candide than it did with either the Torah or the Talmud) is one and the same with Judaism is flat out insane and morally repugnant.
