There have been numerous, including murderous, attacks on Jews in the NYC area in the past month. In Jersey City, NJ, Jews were killed merely for being Jewish.
After these disturbing attacks, authorities typically withhold demographic data on the suspects, even if they are in custody.
We are told if the suspects are male or female, and their age. But not their ethnicity.
When this data is discovered, it often transpires that attackers are African American.
Clearly, there is a problem of anti-Semitism among African Americans, and clearly the powers that be are avoiding discussing that problem.
It is so much easier to lay all blame for anti-Semitism on Poles, on Christians, on "white trash."
This obscuring of important realities, realities that involve life and death, is criminal.

Bieganski the Blog exists to further explore the themes of the book Bieganski the Brute Polak Stereotype, Its Role in Polish-Jewish Relations and American Popular Culture.
These themes include the false and damaging stereotype of Poles as brutes who are uniquely hateful and responsible for atrocity, and this stereotype's use in distorting WW II history and all accounts of atrocity.
This blog welcomes comments from readers that address those themes. Off-topic and anti-Semitic posts are likely to be deleted.
