The sentence you are about to read would be incomprehensible to the average American just two decades ago. Twenty-two years after the September 11 attacks, New York City’s Jewish residents are keeping a low profile amid the unrest that is expected today, the “Day of Jihad.”

New York City officials are not formally advising the city’s Jewish population to keep their heads down. Indeed, NYPD deputy commissioner Rebecca Weiner told the city’s religious schools and Jewish-owned businesses to stay open amid a call for all uniformed officers to return to duty. “We have directed the NYPD to surge additional resources to schools [and] houses of worship to ensure they are safe and that our city remains a place of peace,” said Mayor Eric Adams on Thursday. But many of the city’s Jewish residents lack confidence in the city’s capacity to keep them and their families safe, and they’re taking no chances …

But it is not America’s Jews who should be cowering in fear — that should be the instinct shared by all who support the terrorists who would mete out psychotic violence against America’s Jewish population. Their sympathies violate the sacred American creed to which every U.S. citizen should subscribe.

[This is an utter disgrace, and the administrators and activists on college campuses amplifying Hamas propaganda should get exposed and openly ridiculed for their anti-Semitism. These are the same radical cretins that claim that “deadnaming” and incorrect pronoun use creates unsafe spaces, but have no problem agitating for attacks on Jews. “Disgrace” is too kind a term. — Ed]
