Yesterday there was an interfaith vigil at Temple Emanu-El here in NYC honoring the 11 Jews murdered at a Pittsburgh synagogue on Saturday morning. Among those speaking at the vigil was the Reverend Al Sharpton.
What business does a man who led an anti-Semitic riot in Brooklyn have in mourning the loss of Jews? What right does a man who incited one of his supporters to enter Freddie's Fashion Mart, a Jewish owned business (a man Sharpton called "a white interloper"), shoot several customers and then set the place ablaze killing seven employees in the process have to comfort Jews? Such a man has no such right or business unless he admits his culpability and makes amends. That day will never come. Frankly, Sharpton has about as much business being there as Louis Farrakhan or David Duke. He isn't fit to honor those who perished in Pittsburgh.
