There have been nine domestic terrorist attacks against New York Jewish residents during Hanukkah over the last eight days.
The latest tragedy occurred on December 28 when a suspect walked into a local Rabbi’s home and started stabbing people in attendance for the last day of Hanukkah.
These attacks coincide with a marked increase in Anti-Semitic incidents in this country and around the world over the last several years including the horrific synagogue shootings in Pittsburgh and the recent attack at a Jewish market in Jersey City.
Local New York officials like Mayor Bill de Blasio and Governor Andrew Cuomo have been quick to express support to the Jewish Community and condemn these domestic terrorist attacks.
So have dignitaries in Israel like its President and Prime Minister.
Where are the statements of support for the Jewish Community and condemnation of the attacks from the President of the United States?
The American People should not have to hear statements of remorse and support from the Prime Minister of Israel before the President of the United States.
Being totally self-absorbed on his impeachment predicament, Mr. Trump is so preoccupied with ridiculing (mostly via tweet) the people he sees as going after him, that he has forgotten that one of his roles as Chief Executive is to comfort by conveying sympathy for the victims and assuring their families and friends that justice will be served and this cancer of hate will never eclipse the American ideal.
Mr. Trump should take some time from his holiday schedule and be the Healer in Chief rather than focusing only on himself.
He needs to start healing the divisions that he himself has helped to foster.
