A man attacked a Chasidic Jew, while screaming Antisemitic rhetoric. This was in front of my kids school, as they were coming out from a Shabbat day kids program. This man is very likely mentally ill, but mental illness doesn't make someone say Antisemitic rhetoric. The normalization of Antisemitism, including by elected officials, does.

Watch Tucker Carlson educate Tyler Oliveira in the art of pernicious obfuscation and strategic dishonesty in real time. A master of deceit and his rather slow student, on display for all. Tyler mentions the long-debunked lie that Hatzolah left Gavin Cato to die in Crown Heights. Tyler himself is too ignorant and naive to know this isn't true. He's in it for the clicks, but doesn't know the art yet of pushing a lie to the brink, but then creating the fiction of not knowing for coverage. Tucker, relishing the chance to push Antisemitism to the brink, builds the narrative further. But it's a lie. And Tucker knows it. Governor Mario Cuomo's fact finding report by Richard Girgenti, neither of the Jewish, makes that clear. Richard Green, also not Jewish, has confirmed... Tucker is volunerable. So in real time he teaches Tyler how to create coverage. "Well, that was the claim. I wasn't there," he says. He laughs. See this is all just a fun conversation. Tyler, realizing that he needs to cover up his lies, laughs as well. "I wasn't. It's New York and everyone lies about everything and ethnic conflict is incredibly hard to decipher... I don't really know what happened of course." "I don't know," Tyler says as he gulps water. He lucked out, without Tucker to teach him, it would be clear the emperor has no clothes. That this is all a baldfaced game of hate and lies for engagement clicks and dollars. But of course, they can't just let that go. The game is to push hateful lies for dollars, so you can't just walk it to the brink. Once you have the coverage, then you have the nudge. The wink. "But of course, the account history has recorded..." Tucker begins. But Tyler is not too sharp, he's still doing the walk back "why wouldn't they have an in-group bias... Every person does, obviously" Tucker has to teach Tyler the game in realtime. 'We're done covering our backs,' Tucker knows... Tyler doesn't get it. So tucker has to nudge the ball further, "Whites don't..." he says... Tyler runs with it. He may be slow, but he can kick the ball when Tucker tells him to.

I don't think we can fully appreciate how something truly amazing and transformative is happening in the Jewish world. All day literally thousands of teens from France, from Israel, from the Czech Republic and Argentina are flowing down Eastern Parkway. We're seeing the Rebbe's shluchim at the forefront of a literal sea change of Jewish identity around the world in real time.

Living in Crown Heights, my family and I have experienced a fair amount of direct, violent antisemitism. Between us we've had glass bottles thrown, chased down Brooklyn blocks, shoved to the ground, and had more "He!l H*tlers" and "F*cking Jews" belted our way than I care to remember. I've been told to my face, by people with real political power, that the Jews own all the real-estate in Brooklyn. I've always told my children that no matter what they experienced, the jump to blame an entire minority community was wrong... That bigotry was beneath us - that we were agent of lights to dispel darkness. Not help it fester. Yet here you have two individuals with massive platforms, Ryan Grim and Emily Jashinsky, prompting and nodding approvingly to an outright Jewbaiting and a fully antisemitic tirade. "I've lived here for a long time. I know the history," this lady says. "The Orthodox Jewish community rains terror on this neighborhood with impunity. " I can promise from even a few moments of listening, that this individual gentrifying Crown Heights knows nothing of its history. Every detail she shares of any events here, outside of immediate experience are so questionable, as to make one wonder what else we should qustion... This is Drop Site co, so nothing to be surprised at... but take a good hard look at the agenda behind those pushing this story and everyone blindly amplifying it... I'll tell you one thing: it's not about a visiting Israeli Minister or women being harassed on the streets
