Eric Adams is No Where to Be Found as Hatred Busts the Community Seams of Brooklyn
As usual, Brooklyn Borough President, Eric Adams is no where to be found as hatred busts at the community seams in Brooklyn.
Eric Adams doesn’t do anything when hatred happens – it is silenced for a few seconds as he takes a picture, but that’s about it. We have seen this happen over and over in Brooklyn.
Now a community leader has taken aim at another community leader!
On Sunday, Februry 17th, Chaim Deutsch, a NYC Councilman called out Linda Sarsour and Ilhan Omar (a Muslim Congresswoman from Minnesota) because he believed that these woman are the cause of more antisemitic attacks in his community:
So blame the female leaders and then say heyyyyyy stand together??
This was very out of character for Councilman Deutsch. I guess he is getting tired of hearing that his community is scared because all of this is very alarming when you hear how upset (and scared) people are to just go to worship in the synagogue.
Here’s the problem – Deutsch’s callout added to a bigger problem….scapegoating someone for the problem.
Other community leaders from the Jewish community in Brooklyn jumped in to stir the pot:
More hate went to Linda Sarsour, who did not publicly comment or throw shade back at Coucilman Deutsch…..which is how it usually goes on social media. This is not. good…..to throw blame at an individual in Brooklyn is like throwing a lit fire into a small room.
The Muslim Democrats and Yalla defended Sarsour and they say she is not using her platform to defend anti-Semitism:
The Muslim Democrats in Bay Ridge supported Mark Treyger for District Leader in the last election, so they should be able to call on Treyger as Treyger and Deutsch are friendly.
Where’s Eric Adams? It’s Monday afternoon and he has said nothing. Absent as usual…..off doing something else as he was when there was problems at the MDC Prison……it took him days to get to the prison. Why hasn’t Adams offered Sarsour support and Deutsch help in his community? If he was doing something, there would be pictures all over the place (and cheesy reporting too). NOTHING.
Update: Other leaders such as Mark Treyger and Corey Johnson are silent. These are people who claim they stand up against hate….except when they can’t…….Councilman Deutsch’s comment was deleted and no one commented except Carlos Menchaca said something.
.
Eric Adams is term-limited so I will be glad to see his term end and get someone who is interested in supporting and building Brooklyn!
Hugs,
