[Editors’ note: What happened at Hillcrest High School, as feral pro-Hamas students menaced a Jewish teacher for supporting Israel, is indicative of the Left’s constant modus operandi: once Leftists have tarred the offender as guilty of or aiding in “genocide,” any behavior is justified, and no bounds of human decency need be respected. The Hillcrest incident demonstrates in microcosm what will happen all over the country if the Left manages to consolidate its power: ideological foes will be hunted down and persecuted as class enemies, without the right of redress, or the right to be heard, or any rights whatsoever. The Hillcrest students demonstrate the values that leftist teachers are inculcating in America’s youth today.]
This is how it starts. On November 20, a mob of 400 students rioted at Hillcrest High School hunting down a Jewish teacher for going to a pro-Israel rally, threatening violence, destroying property, and forcing the teacher to hide inside a locked office to protect her life. As antisemitic hate crimes are on the rise in New York City, the Hillcrest HS pogrom broke out just days after a citywide Pro-Palestinian walkout of hundreds of students calling for ceasefire, cursing the Jews, burning Israeli flags, and warning those who support Israel, “your days are numbered.”
Students were always in the forefront of Communist, Fascist, and Nazi movements of the past. We haven’t learned our history. Hitler was a minor figure in Munich in 1923 but rose to power in 10 years to become the Chancellor of Germany, and led the Nazi Party to impose its will with astonishing ease on Germany, the most highly civilized nation in Europe at the time, leading the population to willingly participate in institutionalized mass murder of nearly every single Jew in Europe. The sudden rise of Hitler, the atrocities of World War II, and the Holocaust did not happen in a vacuum. The precursor to Nazism and the Third Reich were the student led riots and pogroms attacking and tormenting Jews throughout Germany. This was the direct result of decades of indoctrination in racial nationalism in schools and universities, that Aryans were a pureblooded “blond, blue-eyed” master race and Jews were vermin, unfit to live. The fired-up students viewed Jews as outsiders, parasites, and evil moneylenders, that had to be wiped out, and they rioted targeting the Jews of Germany.
Kids today are carrying the torch for the far left. The same horrific hatred and antisemitism is rearing its ugly head again empowered by our weak feckless government all the way from President Biden, Governor Hochul, Mayor Adams down to Schools Chancellor Banks. Just like Germany in 1933, under the unstable Weimar Republic, our government today is hopeless to put an end to the antisemitic persecution and save the Jews. After the Weimar Republic, came the death camps. Saying “Never Again” requires an understanding of history.
Just like Nazi Germany, these radicalized young people are the product of decades of anti-American, anti-Israel, and Marxist indoctrination in the classroom, now known as critical race theory, or in Orwellian terms, diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI). These kids are the same radicalized leftists who burned down the major cities of America, toppled statues, looted businesses, and injured hundreds of police officers in the Geroge Floyd riots, only today as one commentator put it, they wear keffiyehs. To these radicalized kids, who grew up schooled in CRT, rather than critical thinking, the settler-colonialist oppressor Israel, is committing genocide against the helpless victims, the Palestinians.
Immediate Actions that Need to be Taken:
Expel radicalized student ringleaders to stop antisemitic hate. We call for action to hold those responsible public officials accountable for the antisemitic student riot, starting with New York City Schools Chancellor David Banks, and the administrators of Hillcrest High School. The mob of 400 rioters was led by possibly 5 to 10 ringleaders who were directly responsible for inciting the mayhem. We call on Hillcrest principal Scott Milczewski, Chancellor Banks and the DOE to identify and expel these 10 or so ringleaders. Criminally charge the ones over 18 for harassment and hate crimes. Expulsion, not restorative justice or temporary suspension is the way to set an example to the rest of the student body of the city to prevent further mob violence and potential antisemitism.
End the far left control of the UFT. The union is responsible for supporting the safety and welfare of its teachers, and historically has done so. However, the UFT and its president Michael Mulgrew were silent on protecting this tormented Jewish teacher. The UFT is terrified of its far left wing and chooses silence so as not to offend them. The Movement of Rank-and-File Educators, a caucus of the New York City UFT is a group of radical Marxist, anti-American teachers, in control of the UFT, who have co-sponsored pro-Hamas rallies along with Democratic Socialists (DSA). We call on President Mulgrew to do his job, and visit Hillcrest HS and speak up on behalf of his embattled teacher and ensure her safety and constitutional rights are protected. There certainly would be a vocal outcry if the same happened to any teacher of another racial group. He must insist on an addition to DOE policy, the protection of Jewish teachers from harm in every school, and the protection of their constitutional free speech rights and religious liberty. A teacher who chooses to attend a pro-Israel rally should be free from harm and fear.
Teach history so we aren’t doomed to repeat it. We call on every High School in NYC as a requirement to spend one week studying the history of antisemitism and the Holocaust. This was a required part of the World History curriculum, but nowadays, the study of this fundamental pillar of our history education has been abandoned, and the consequences are alarming. We learn history as the expression goes, so as not to be doomed to repeat it. Give our kids this essential background before they riot and attack Jewish teachers and fellow students out of ignorance amplified by youthful passion.
Fire Chancellor Banks Immediately. Overall, Chancellor Banks has been unsuccessful in improving our failing school system, but now he is guilty of dereliction of duty for his week-long silence after the student riot. Only after the story “Queens HS Chaos” appeared in the NY Post did he break his silence and hold a hollow press conference. He stated, “This notion that this place, these kids are radicalized and antisemitic is the height of irresponsibility,” essentially scoffing at the urgency of confronting violent antisemitism and concern for teacher’s safety. He further excused the student mob’s hate and havoc saying that they “feel a kindred spirit with the folks of the Palestinian community. This is a very visceral and emotional issue for them.” He downplayed the seriousness of the issue, saying the teacher was safe, as if to say the Nazi’s don’t really intend to hurt the Jews. He said that this is a “teachable moment” and that the kids should openly talk about it. But this is madness to allow the kids to speak their minds freely as they do daily on TikTok without adequate background knowledge. These kids need to learn history first to dispel the dark clouds of ignorance. Bank’s solution is the folly of restorative justice, instead of suspension, but a good chancellor would summarily expel the ringleaders and protect the safety and constitutional free speech rights of his teachers. Every teacher’s constitutional freedoms, of speech, religion, and assembly, should be protected like that of any citizen, which Banks has failed to do. Banks is totally incompetent and unfit for the job. He has to go.
Fire Hillcrest Principal Scott Milczewski Immediately. Principal Milczewski’s foremost job is the safety and security of his teachers and students, and in that regard he has failed miserably. He was silent after his student’s destructive rioting until the media and chancellor came to shine the spotlight on his school a week later. He knew there were problems brewing and did nothing to stop them. In fact, he was informed by the Jewish teacher before the riot occurred that she could be targeted. A week earlier, school safety agents were violently attacked by four students, and a day after the riot, an 18-year-old student was arrested for making threats of widespread harm and charged with aggravated harassment. With all this chaos in his school, the principal failed to protect the safety and constitutional rights of a teacher, whose life was threatened, and feared for her safety at school, therefore Principal Milczewski needs to be fired.
Shut Down Hillcrest HS. The high school needs to be shuttered until the safety of all students, teachers, custodial staff, medical team, lunchroom workers, and school safety officers are totally secured. Shut down the school and send the kids to other schools. There is no plan. You can’t deploy 50 cops to patrol the building forever. The school can’t open after a riot of this magnitude, until there is plan in place to discipline the 400 student rioters and ensure the safety of all.
The sabotage of our schools and the youth of America by the radical left has taken place over 60 years. We can’t expect to instantly take back our schools and our country’s institutions after the notorious leftwing “long march through the institutions” has been successfully completed. But this is the start of the counter-revolution. The antisemitic riot at Hillcrest HS was very similar to the German pogroms, or violent attacks on Jews throughout Germany in the 19th century. They were led by angry student mobs shouting “Hep! Hep!” meaning “Jerusalem is destroyed.” They studied in the finest German schools and universities where they were incited to violence by radical indoctrination in the classroom to philosophies of German nationalist supremacy treating Jews as parasites and vermin living off their generous European hosts. This was the precursor to National Socialist (Nazi) ideology and the Holocaust.
History is doomed to repeat itself unless we learn our lessons, and start the counter-revolution immediately by stopping the spread of virulent antisemitism here and now. This is our Never Again moment.

Note the absence of a third possible outcome.
As I read this article, I sullenly realized that we’ve become used to garbage like this . . . too used to it.
Years ago, Mel Gibson’s career stalled for derisively calling a cop a Jew.
Today we have a fevered mob physically trying to attack a teacher (just like that leftist LGBT mob viciously accosted Reilly Gains)
We could afford idiotic blurts from Mel Gibson – he only succeeded in screwing himself.
When I read that a staggering 400 rabid students were allowed to engage in such evil, I have to wonder what betrayers in government circles imported/cultivated such raw venom like this.
(These cosseted politicians don’t give a damn. Their kids go to structured private schools located in safe enclaves like Martha’s Vineyard.)
55 years ago, there was a teachers’ trike in New York City after a decentralized school board in Brownsville Ocean Hill (another of Lindsay’s fiascos) fired teachers who were Jewish in spite of unblemished records. “Progressive” radio station WBAI broadcast a “poem” which read in part, “Pale faced Jew boy with a yarmulke on your head, pale faced Jew boy, I wish you were dead.” At least in 1968, the leader of the AMerican Federation of Teacher (Albert Shanker) sided with the Jewish teachers who were fired and opposed antisemitism (even from mnorities and “progressives”). Current AFT president Randi Weingarten’s sympathies are no doubt with the students for “PALESTINE!!!!” who bullied and threatened the Jewish teacher.
I’ve tried to up-vote you, but couldn’t do it. You are right, antisemitism in schools is not a new phenomenon, but now it got much worse with violence being tolerated.
You have a good memory. The leading black racist, pipe-smoking Rhody McCoy, who wanted all the white teachers in the Ocean Hill-Brownsville district fired, was idolized by many of the white NYC reporters. It was the beginning of the end.
If you saw videos of any of these students, they were entirely ungrammatical and vulgar when they spoke. So the schools aren’t even doing a good job of the most basic education. But I’m sure the kids do know all about Marxism’s “oppressor/victim” narrative.
Who is going to do any of those things? The government? The unions?
The people need to stop sending their kids to these so called prestigious colleges.
Time to reduce the number of universities and expert professors by 80% the west is over educated massively and our kids need to learn practical skills and bring manufacturing back from China.
That’s public high school, not college.
And it is time their endowments were taxed.
I wish “the west” WERE over-educated. Instaed they are over-indoctrinated, to their and our hurt.
Go back and re-read the lead image for this article. The $30 per month private grade school I attended had third graders speaking and writing far more correctly than what is visible here. Not only that we had learned to RESPECT others, their differences, and to NOT become involved with insult, violence, taunting…..
If any kid had behaved like these louts, it would bring the end of that student’s attendance at this school.
I respectfully disagree. The West is not over-educated, it is over-credentialed. Educated people are in very short supply, and most of them are too old to work anymore and spend their days commenting here and on other conservative sites.
The January 6th “insurrection” stands in sharp contrast to the Hillcrest riots and dozens of other attacks on Jews that sprung up after October 7.
Rioters launching attacks against Jews and Jewish preoperties are rarely arrested or prosecuted. In some cases our leaders stood with the Palestinian supporters and against their Jewish victims.
Meanwhile January 6 protestors have been left to rot in jails whose condition make Guantanamo look palatial. People who peacefully protested outside the U.S. Capital have had their lives turned upside down by storm troopers calling themselves federal agents.
Individual elected officials and school administrators may be singled out, but the rot is in the system run by wannabe Jacobins interested only of destroying our Constitution by a new reign of terror
And then…..I woke up
Islam 101
http://media-quest.com/Islam101.pdf
Read 11 pages marked starting from the middle of page 4 thru 14.
Read the section on the Media-Quest page “A recent comment is as follows.”
Hamas is not the problem. Hamas is simply practicing orthodox Islam. The terror, murder, rape and kidnapping originate with Islam. Hamas is simply practicing Islam to the letter.
To call out Hamas alone gives the underlying cause Islam itself a free pass. Calling out only Hamas or other orthodox Islamic groups will result in less obvious followers of Islam being accepted into government, our institutions and businesses. And those seemingly peaceful followers of Islam are so peaceful because they think the battle has already been won and final victory is under the control of their god Allah. Calling out Hamas alone is a deadly mistake. The true underlying problem is Islam itself and the nature and indoctrination of all of its followers.
The followers of Islam have been indoctrinated since infancy that Islam and its faithful will eventually rule the earth. The commands canonized in their Qur’an very explicitly make that a point and dictate that it should be accomplished by slaying the Jew and the infidel until the task is accomplished. Again, this is what Muslims from childhood are taught, believe and expect. The orthodox Muslims that practice it are labeled “terrorists”, “radicals” or some other euphemistic label that lets Islam itself off the hook, when in fact they are carrying out to the letter explicit and very clear Islamic religious commands. An example would be to say that there is a problem with the radical SS, thus implying that Nazism itself would otherwise be okay if it were not for those pesky SS.
No decent person can remain a follower of Islam. Islam commands that its followers must not take infidels as friends. And indeed what decent person can claim to be your friend yet remain a willing follower of a religion which has indoctrinated them since earliest childhood that they are commanded to either murder you or at very least subjugate you to the status of a dhimmi, to expect that their religion will become superior over all other religions, to practice taqqiya and kitman in claiming to be your friend all the while knowing it is the opposite that is true. Disgusting.
“Learn about Islam. That is the most important thing for people to do. Learn who it is that you are not.” – Samuel Lurie
That is focused erudition upon our [ the West’s ] principle historic peril.
Islam has swallowed two thirds of Christendom since the death of its founder. It shows appetite for the remainder.
Islam is a geopolitical ambition, not a spiritual movement.
The ancestors of Islam’s Ummah were not persuaded, they were conquered.
Actually, Hamas is the problem. They elected to follow the indoctrination. As John Steinbeck inferred in East of Eden, man (as in man and woman) has a choice between good and evil. Some deliberately, faced with the choice, choose evil. What they showed the World on October 7th was shocking soul-less reptilian evil. Then they killed their own neighbors and hid behind children in Gaza tunnels. They are neither valiant nor brave.
Reptilian evil? I”d trust an alligator far more radily than I would anyone knon or suspected to be hamas or any of their pals.
Satanic is far more accurate. Go find and read Salman Rushdie’s amazing book “Satanic Verses”. He wrote that a few decades ago, and his enemies have forced him into a life of seclusion and hiding, and put a rather large price upon his head. Hard to find any more, as it is VERY politically “incorrect” but quite accurate. I happened across my copy in a thrift store. I doubt the recently immigrated employee had a clue what she put out on that shelf. I did not hesitate to snag it. Have not seen another copy of it in the fifteen plus years since I found that one.
Perhaps this book should be required reading in those New York high schools……. far more helpful than much of the perverted drivel now being spoon fed the students of these “schools”.
I’ve been an avid reader for over 6 decades but I must admit that the Salman Rushdies “Satanic Verses” defied my ability to get through more than a third of it. I found it nearly unreadable. This coming from someone that waded through the most despicable, atrociously written dribble that is the koran three times – just to try and convince myself that such garbage was actually what motivated over one and a half billion people.
hmmmm moderated? Wonder why? Lets see if it flies past the gatekeepers.
As soon as Hitler came to power the restrictions on Jews began. At first Jews were banned from many professions. Those Jews that could see what was coming managed to get out of Germany. Then they lost their businesses and their ability to earn a living. Then they lost their homes and were herded into ghettos around eastern Europe. Then they were deported to the east….to the death camps. It finally ended when U.S. Troops and Russian Troops finally liberated the camps. By then 6 million Jews had been murdered.
If we don’t nip this garbage taking place on U.S. campuses it will happen here. Fire these idiot presidents of the Schools. Expel the obvious agitators. Shut down any high school that allows this garbage. Don’t expect it to happen at the federal level until after November ’24. Stop donating to these moronic universities.
Finally, deport deport deport. The Muslims in our midst will never become Achmed Jefferson or Mohammed Madison. Shut down the mosques and croups like CAIR.
Every Muslim a Terrorist. Every Mosque a weapons cache.
Hillcrest is a disgrace of a high school. If you are zoned for that school, find an alternative. The students are vicious and the teachers do everything except teach. Chancellor Banks and the principal of the school must resign. The teacher must sue the school and NYC for failure to protect her. The UFT is another disgrace and must be broken up. It is run by marxists who hate kids.
The American left has a very high percentage of Jewish members and leaders. They ought to leave the left en masse and get real before they get pogrommed too.. It seems The left are now Nazis as well as communists. (There is precedent for that in 1917) Their alliance with the black civil rights leftists doesn’t seem to be a two way street. Maybe the supposedly Jewish left are really just atheist communists wanting to do the Devil’s work and destroy real Jews and the rest of humanity by causing controlled revolutions and destruction in general. trying to bring down the USA, historically a welcoming protector of Jews and Israel.
Start sending them to the Middle east so they can see how Women and Gays are treated under the so called Religion of Peace
islam is not a religion , it is a terrorist entity and has been since its inception . it has a veil of religious gobbledegook but remains intrinsically terrorist , founded by a war mongering sexual deviant which has shown the world its core modus operandi . the average garden variety muslim may not embark on the same path but have to confer legitimacy on the actions of the oct . 7 crowd otherwise they are dead and considered an apostate . imagine the outcome if any of the political class told the populace what i have just stated , the west would have terrorism 101 on the streets of every major city in the west . at the moment it is jihad by stealth . the west has sealed its fate and there is now no going back . the morons on the streets supporting hamas will be tomorrows victims once the takeover is complete . muslims have now white anted every govt. dept and city across the west . the infested west will collapse .
Lynching is a crime because it is an act depriving a person of life, property or liberty without due process of law.
The arrest, detention and murder of the Jews in Germany was without due process of law.
Hamas men invaded a neighborhood with the sole intent of murdering peaceful people.
Each and every Hama man who was involved could be brought before any court of law and convicted of premeditated murder.
That is individual responsibility.
I noticed there are fingers pointed (religion, colonialism, race) to excuse, explain or defame. In “scholarly articles” the blame is also deflected. For instance, .in the case of Rwanda according to the scholars, it was the colonial Belgians who made the mobs do it.
The Hamas and other mobs now use the Yes, I beat my wife to death, but she made me do it” excuse to claim it was Them who made Us do it.”
That is called an excuse, not a defense.”
Depriving a man of liberty to move freely without due process of law is a crime. It is civil rights violation.
What are they teaching in schools these days?
