Friday night, CBS 2 learned Jewish-owned businesses were put under surveillance, along with mosques and businesses that cater to Muslims.
Secret documents obtained by the Associated Press show Great Neck Glat is one of almost a dozen Jewish-owned businesses the NYPD surveyed in Nassau County.
The anti-terror effort was focused there because many in the Great Neck Jewish community trace their roots back to Iran, CBS 2′s Tony Aiello reported.
“I think we’re wasting time by spying on places like kosher butchers and kosher hair salons, basically Great Neck to begin with,” said business owner Benny Rafailov.
Congressman King, however, said to trust the NYPD.
“Something that may on the surface not necessarily be connected can make sense to them,” King said.
Plain dumb.
If this is what it takes for the NYPD to prevent terrorism then kol hakavod we have nothing to hide
That would be so awesome…Kosher Halal Meat, LOL!!!
they probably thought that arabs were trying to pass themselves off as sephardi jews. If so, they, despite themselves, may have actually learned something.
All that they are doing is simply protecting themselves from Racial Profiling charges. 90% of the surveillance is against Muslims, and then they throw in 10% Jews to make it look equal.
We can handle that. Just don’t come looking over the back of MY business…
Isn’t freedom a basic concept in US of A
If they wiretap everyones phone calls and video everyone every moment and implant a chip into everyone so they can track our movements and read every email there will be not terrorism, no crime and no point in teaching children about a document called the Constitution.
Why is it that the democrats seem to respect the constitution more than republicans?
