Brooklyn, NY – A local assemblyman and a newspaper reporter who wrote a story last week about anti-Semitism in the Occupy Wall Street protest received a bizarre and disturbing piece of mail: an anti-Semitic flyer depicting the faces of nine failed Wall Street executives. All nine of the men pictured are Jewish and the two lines of text on the full color flyer read “Wall Street Jews” and “Occupy Wall Street”.

Both Assemblyman Dov Hikind and New York Times reporter Joseph Berger received the flyer, which was postmarked New York, New York, this past Monday. The return address on the envelope, the residence of Abraham Foxman, the national director of the Anti Defamation League, was clearly bogus. It is unknown at this point in time if the flyer was mailed to anyone else.
“What makes this particularly heinous,” Hikind explained to VIN News, “is that there are no pictures of any non-Jews who have gotten into trouble. This is all about the notion that Jews have the money, Jews have the power and Jews are responsible for today’s difficult economic situation.”
Among those pictured on the flyer are Bernard Madoff, Ivan Boesky, Michael Milken, Richard Fuld, Lloyd Blankfein, Sandy Weill and Hank Greenberg.
Hikind called on other political leaders to come out strongly against the flyer which he termed both “disturbing” and “intimidating.”
“Where are the responsible people to speak out against this? We Jews cannot afford to simply look away and say ‘this is not a big deal’. This is intimidating and dangerous and becomes even more dangerous when we are silent.”
Berger declined to comment on the flyer when interviewed by VIN News.
This is becoming acceptable- its no secret anymore that anti Semitism is rearing it head while Jews are not sleeping but utterly defenseless-this planet and anti semitism go hand in hand- we just had it good for a couple years and are in denial
There is little doubt that within Occupy Wall Street there is a group of people who are anti democratic , pro communist and anti Semitic.
It’s interesting to note that some of the people funding OWS are Jewish,including the jewish extreme left leaning and self hating George Soros.
Also, none of the media , supposedly controlled by Jewish interests,has commented on this.
Kudos to Dov Hikind for once again raising the Jewish flag and fighting for all is us yidin!yaasher koach ,Dov!
I was down there last week and the comments I got were frightening! It felt like I was in nazi germany. I think it’s time that we all got serious and start to think about moving to our homeland. Our days are numbered here.
Where are all the politicians? In 2012 and 2013 they will some how all remember that we exists cause they will need our vote.
Let’s remember at the voting booth who stuck up for us and who didn’t.
Disgusting! Why are these people given attention in the 1st place?! They’re clearly screaming for it… and they’re getting it!
We need to ignore them all together, so that they see the fruitlessness of their mission, and will hopefully just give up & go home!
Most people down there are there because they are against GREED in general. Some are against Wall Street, some are against the gov’t, some are against income inequality, outrageous student loan debt, home mortgage crisis, and\or the health care crisis….
But it ALL boils down to greed!
They are just trying to make this a race thing & I don’t think we should let them do that!
Ooooh, if I were down there… I’d be giving those idiots a piece of my mind!
And not a “friendly” piece either!
Yup. The jews … These are bad times for us. We need rachmei shomayim
I wouldn’t be shocked if many of the OWS anti-semites are Jewish lefties
To #9 - Life is not that easy in EY, either. Besides problems with Arabs, there is also tension between the secular and religious Jews. There is violence between ultra-Orthodox groups. The cost of living is very high, and there is a lot of poverty. No, we should stay in America, and not have to run away, from miscreants and deviants protesting on Wall Street.
I write on the Huffington Post under the name “Jewishphysician” and today I was compared to Mengele due to the fact that I posted a comment that I do not support Occupy Wall Street.
These people are all anarchists and they are wicked as well. I will be starting a campaign to put bumper magnets on cars that says “No thanks Occupy; With Prudence Trust Billows”.
I will not sit down when our nation is disgraced internationally with a movement of lawlessness and disorder in all of our nations cities.
This is really a big deal and everyone should try to do what they can to subdue this anarchy movement.
World War 3 is around the corner
I agree 100% with #14 . I thought we were past these kinds of protests, which ended when the Vietnam War ended. It has been quiet for 38 years. Now, there appears to be anarchy in our cities again. A protestor in Oakland, CA was interviewed last evening. She claimed that in spite of her group throwing bottles, that the use of tear gas was excessive. What chutzpah; someone can be killed by a bottle flying through the air, as it is just as deadly as a rock. I really think that many of these protestors “qvell” at the attention that they are receiving from the media.
WAKE UP YIDDEN! For those of you who contiune to say what happened in Germany can not & will not happen in the US. Well guess what IT IS HERE! Before one knows it we could be looking at exactly the same scenario as occured in Germany, the “Occupy Wall Street” is only the tip of a very well hidden iceberg just waiting to pop up. Yidden make sure you have your passport US & hopefully a second country and cash or other valuable currency to make your way out of here alive when the time comes & it will, make no mistake about that. It is history and history always repeats it self. Do not make the mistake of repeating the useless protestations our brothers & sisters made, “but you know me I am a GERMAN”. I am not an alarmist I am a realist. Our stay in America is only a temporary one, as it has been where ever we have been. IT is time we all moved to Eretz Yisroal and do what we do best turn it into one of the most financally stable and important countries in the WORLD. Let’s see just how far America will go without the contributions of Jews.
