“Why should I listen to people who are not even going to support me? Why should I listen to people who didn’t put the same standard on a Jewish woman and a Jewish man, and are putting a different standard on a black woman?”

Wow. I see Rodneyse got her talking points from the Race hustler in Chief, Obama, and his sidekick Eric Witholder! What the heck does “race” have anything to do with ETC’s?! If anything, her “own kind” will greatly benefit from this as well. What an ingrate!

And, the sanitation trucks are still clogging the streets of Boro Park at the same time as the school buses are trying to take our children to school. This is despite years of press releases and pictures with officials.

Dov: They’re not listening to you because you come across as a “bull in a china shop”. Sit down quietly and negotiate. Don’t try to make headlines. It is counterproductive.

And removing traffic barriers from Ft. Hamilton Parkway is so minor and trivial that it is shameful if that is all he can show after being in Albany for how many years??

Hikind has done nothing for Orthodox jews as a legislator in ALbany. Because he runs to Israel every other week is not the reason he was voted into office. Show me the man’s record on Jewish issues, in particular, Orthodox Jews. I challenge you.

Even the Potus has to work for all of the USA, even the people who didn’t vote for him. (sometimes they even don’t work for the ones that did)

Dov Hikind’s bluster and cocky approach to issues, apparently have not won him many friends in the legislature and have limited his ability to accomplish for our community. A smart politician does NOT issue press releases or conduct photo ops for issues that need a tactical, behind the scenes, approach. He should the learn the art of negotiating, not demanding. This is the NY Legislature not the Jewish Defense League.

I do not know enough about the tax credit proposal to have an informed opinion about it, land I try to avoid having uninformed opinions. Clearly, Assemblyperson Bichotte does not practice political correctness regarding us Jews, and it is appropriate to object to her remarks as they constitute an insult to us guys.

It is important to have an informed debate about this issue, and to recognize who benefits and who pays for the benefit. Perhaps Mr. Hikind is working on that now, or, alternatively, perhaps he would rather have an issue of anti-Semitism diverting attention from a difficult political issue.

TalmidChochom,

Usually Talmidchochomim know about checking a whole story prior to attacking (especially in regards to branding someone in public).

I have been following this saga and my opinion is that this is totally called for. Knowing how Bichotte attempted to twist the story to be able to slander and gain some points is one thing. To base hikinds response on her claim is totally…. I’m stumped.

Except if this is not really the reason for attacking Hikind.
