Lately, there have been many anti-semitic acts in Brooklyn and Williamsburg. It troubles me that its becoming more often than ever in the past. I am interested to know is anyone getting nervous? Is it perhaps time to leave America and live somewhere else? (Israel is the only safe place I can think of). Or are we going to wait and make the same mistake like our grandparents/great grandparents did in Europe r"l?

It may be directly or indirectly related to the headlines from Israel.

The situation is not like it was in Europe. Astute people did recognize that things were going really sour. The main reason people ignored it was because they did not want to believe it. I won't dispute that there is always hate, but it is still not like then.

There have also been attacks in Bergen County, NJ (west of NYC). There are some articles about it on YW.
It can cross the Hudson, it can happen anywhere. Depending on who you ask, Israel is also golus. With the violence that's been going on there as well, I don't know how we can feel completely safe anywhere until Moshiach comes.

Hi takish.
I dont think it is time to leave. And, if heaven forbid, it was; where would one go?
There has been an increase in antisemitism.
I once read a credible study with credible statistics on how antisemitism is a mental illness and held by some of the most socio/psychopathic members of society.
Having said that (as you can read), the rise makes sense.
It is due to a common jail house mentality.
President Obama has fanned the flames of these idiots with his numerous strong-arming and harsh speech to and about Israel.
Further, while the Tea Party was severely criticized, the counter, Occupy group, not so criticized, but even romanticized, has been open about blaming America's problems on Jews. And that part of their platform has not been removed, nor has the President said such statements are totally untrue.
Obama's lack of patriotism along with his love and concern for the arab world, in my opinion, has strengthened the antisemitic sub culture in America.

It happens to be a mitzvah do'arisah to live in eretz yisrael. You kind of need to move there, regardless of how good America is.

We all need to arm ourselves, that's the answer. Obviously we must pray but also we need to buy weapons to defend ourselves

kfb: I don't think that's the answer but carrying a weapon and learning how to use it is a good idea. But perhaps we should stop building such fancy houses and having such fancy cars. Anti-semitism comes from jealousy. And it doesn't help to have so many jews holding political office, even some very high positions, especially when the economy isn't doing that great. Remember that the head of the federal reserve is jewish(surprise!)
