Of course the thing that galls me is

No, the thing that galls you is that you have a strong visceral bond with the Crown Heights Jews. The Crown Heights Jews are some of the most racist people in the world. You identify with that, you admire them, and you feel their suffering when people try to tear down their racist culture.

<<< ... Unfortunately, exclusivism is supported by rules in the halacha for actively contemptuous behavior toward non-Jews in every sphere of social life and endeavor. Anti-black attitudes within some Jewish communities in the U.S. are a dimension of this exclusivism.

It surely was an element in the social explosion in Crown Heights in 1991. By accident, an automobile accompanying Lubavitcher Rabbi Schneursohn struck a young black boy. A Hasidic Jewish-owned ambulance was summoned to attend to the driver's injuries. Jewish law entered the situation when the ambulance driver departed without extending assistance to the dying African-American child. As interpreted by the Hasidic driver, Jewish law forbids it! >>>

You wish all ambulances would refuse to serve black ghettoes.
