Kings County District Attorney Kenneth Thompson and City Councilman David Greenfield for a meeting with leading haredi businessmen and activists from several hasidic sects and the Sephardic Committee of Boro Park, Flatbush and Williamsburg, the FailedMessiah website reported.
Among the hasidic sects were the Satmars, Bobovs, Belzs, and Vizhnitzs. The website reported that Thompson plans on visiting Israel with local haredi and Orthodox leader soon.
Thompson reportedly spoke about cracking down on anti-Semitic crimes including alleged “knock out attacks” targeting Jews.
The Failed Messiah website, which is something of a hasidic watchdog site, also editorialized that Thompson “has been surprising weak in his prosecutions of haredi pedophiles and other haredi criminals – including giving the Satmar hasid who threw bleach in anti-abuse activist Rabbi Nuchem Rosenberg’s face in an attempt to blind and scar him a sweetheart no-prison plea deal.”
