If black churches were entered by white supremacists shouting racial threats, it would be national news.

If mosques were entered by militant Jews shouting threats, the MSM would be all over it.

Why, then, do assaults on synagogues and Jewish institutions in our nation's largest city get no national coverage? Indeed, why is it that the only information I can find on the attacks come from a source in Israel?

For the second time in less than a week, a packed Brooklyn, New York, synagogue has been the target of threats of violence by intruders.

On Monday, according to Yeshiva World News, an Arab man in his mid-30s entered Boro Park's 'Sephardish Shul' and began making proclamations of jihad. Members of a Jewish volunteer security organization, the Shomrim, apprehended the threatening individual. They held him until police officers arrived at the scene, arresting the suspect. Detectives spoke with the "Middle Eastern man" at a station house near the synagogue.

Just two days earlier, a man wielding a butcher's knife burst into a Kerestir Chassidic synagogue in Williamsburg. He initially turned up unarmed and began throwing soda cans at the gathered worshipers, which hit one of them, and returned shortly thereafter with the bladed weapon.

Is it going to take an American Kristalnacht for the media to finally report on such events? Do w have to have dead Jews in the streets of America before the media takes notice and our nation's leaders speak out in condemnation? Or, even then, will there be silence -- or perhaps words of moral equivalence that implicitly blame the victims?
