American Jews are in great danger. Here's the proof.

American Jews are in great danger. Here's the proof.

1.

This might seem a little odd, but does this piece of news also make you feel uncomfortable?

Most of the money allocated by the Department of Homeland Security, as part of the Urban Areas Security Initiative Nonprofit Security Grant Program awards, is going to Jewish institutions.

"2007 UASI NSGP provides funding support for target hardening activities to nonprofit organizations that are at high risk of international terrorist attack".

308 nonprofit organizations were awarded funds. Jewish groups received most of the money ($19.6 million out of $24 million). Some examples: Jewish Federation of Greater Long Beach/Alpert Jewish Community, Chabad Russian Synagogue, Maimonides Academy, Temple Emanu-El of San Diego California, Allied Jewish Federation of Colorado, Jewish Federation of Broward County, Yeshiva Gedola Rabbinical College, Hillel's of Georgia, Telshe Yeshiva Chicago, Chicago Rabinical Council, Torah Institute of Baltimore, New England Hebrew Academy, Rosenbaum Yeshiva of North Jersey, Rabbi Pesach Raymon Yeshiva, Beth El Synagogue of New Rochelle, Yeshiva of Manhattan Beach, Texas Friends Chabad Lubavitch, Jewish Federation of Seattle, Jewish Community Center of Greater Washington, etc etc.

2.

All in all, the Homeland Security Department received 612 grant applications from organizations across the United States. More than half of them received some money. This means that Jewish organizations were first and foremost well organized and quick to take advantage of this new program. They submitted a lot of the applications; they got a lot of the money. Some will give them credit for being efficient and well prepared ? others will say that, as usual, when money's involved you-know-who's going to grab it all.

3.

"One faith group is not necessarily at greater risk than another," department spokesman Russ Knocke told the AP. "Risk is often circumstantial, and it is constantly evolving."

However, this year it seems as if there is only one group at greater risk. And it is the same group that keeps bragging how safe and wonderful it is to be Jewish in America (Check out my latest article on the Changing Face of Judaism web site).

4.

Anti-Semites will have a field day with this program. A department headed by a Jewish Secretary (Michael Chertoff) giving public funds to mostly Jewish institutions.

Is that why I feel uncomfortable? I hope not!

5.

Why then?

Because it focuses too much attention on the vulnerability of the Jewish community; because it has the smell of fear; because the Jewish community is wealthy enough to deal with security by itself; because the bloodier attacks of recent years weren't aimed at Jewish institutions (Virginia Tech?).

And it doesn't look good. Yes, that too.

6.

The United Jewish Communities, the umbrella organization of the Jewish federation system, was instrumental in this well-organized effort of the Jewish community to get the grants. The UJC press release is boasting that the organization "is a leading force in establishing and sustaining the nonprofit security program, which is the only federal program targeted specifically to protect at-risk nonprofits".

William Daroff, Head of the UJC Washington office, is quoted as saying that these funds "come not a minute too soon to enable nonprofit organizations to take critical steps to protect themselves and the citizens of this country."

So Daroff feels comfortable enough.

7.

I called some Jewish operatives and ask them to provide a rebuttal to my complaints. Here's what I got:

Jewish institutions are indeed threatened.

They need more protection.

The government is willing to fund more protection.

The decision as to who gets the money was professional. If we got it, that means the authorities think we are at more risk and need it.

Your reaction (meaning mine) smells of fear: the old Jewish fear of "what will they say?" America is no place for such fears.

8.

They got a point. I'm still uncomfortable.

A disclosure: I'm a dues paying member of an institution which got one of the grants.

Sorry, that article seems really silly to me

[voltaxebec]

Silly in what way, Rod?

[Rod]

As in a bunch of crap and worthless fearm mongering.

Oh, no, the evil Muslim boogieman is going to get us, we better secure ourselves, we don’t want them to get us.

[voltaxebec]

Sure is a lot of dosh for one group, 80% I make it.

[rockclimber]

It just begs some questions:

Quote:Jewish institutions are indeed threatened.

Where is the proof? Here in America? Give me a break. Are we talking about al qaeda here? LOL. Just who is threatening these institutions?

Quote:They need more protection.

Why? Because their leaders keep the myth alive that everybody is out to harm them? Seems like were selling more propaganda to hate Muslims here as of now then anyone else.

Quote:The government is willing to fund more protection.

No kidding? Would AIPAC have any influence over that? Gee I wonder. Can't say for sure, but I wonder.

Quote:The decision as to who gets the money was professional. If we got it, that means the authorities think we are at more risk and need it.

And just who are the 'authorities'? Hmm...

Quote:Your reaction (meaning mine) smells of fear: the old Jewish fear of "what will they say?" America is no place for such fears.

American's could give a shit. The MLB playoffs are just around the corner, football just started and there are some good sales going on at the mall. The kids are playing Xbox and watching TV, great shows like the wholesome Family Guy(vomit), and the teenagers are God only knows where. This isn't Jew hating country, in fact the Christians love them and fight wars for them.

An even bigger question I would have is what are they using this money for? How is it being used, iow's what are they spending it on?

[MC David]

Yes it makes me uncomfortable because it's just more evidence that American is controlled by Zionists & that the whole War on Terror has been a huge power grab for them. I hope people are waking up to the ZIONIST control. Not just New World Order, ZIONIST control.

I wonder if that has anything to do with Reichland Fatherland Homeland Security Obergruppenfuhrer Michael Chertoff being an unabashed Zionist who holds dual citizenship in Israel and the U.S.

[MikeWB]

What a bunch of nonsense. It's just another SCAM to get money out of STUPID goyim.

US is sooooooo fucked. It's incredibly screwed. These parasites are stealing left and right and those that actually produce something are ending up with nothing.

US will have a revolution on its hands if this economy goers down the crapper as it currently looks like it will.

"An even bigger question I would have is what are they using this money for? How is it being used, iow's what are they spending it on?"

It's going to Israeli companies like Magal Security Systems, RCS.

[TeslaandLyne]

The terror threat to Jews is awesome.
ED: Or they know how to suck money from the warmongers.

So that means extra security for each individual Israeli citizen?

Special rights for special people. We are all less then them. Hell if you watch Fox, we are ALL under threat, but that's ok, Chertoff will save us....;)

If American Jews are really that concerned then perhaps they should denounce any affiliation with Israel which has to be one eviliest places on earth. If not then they must remember who drew first blood. Personally I think it's a ploy to try to get the world, or at least America to feel sorry for them. Got a point on Muslims hating them, who could blame them for that.
