My grandfather was one of those Jewish boxers in the 1920s. He was an undefeated Golden Gloves champion. He was about to turn pro when his mother found out what he was doing. She forbade him to fight and he listened. So his dreams were killed and he never boxed again.

Every time you appear on YouTube I listen with pride every word you say.
One time some Antisemitic kid called me a racist for praising your stories.
I grew up in the Bronx back in the 70's and confronted tons of Antisemitism. In 1980 my family made Aliyah. The best decision ever! Years ago I heard about the chance of another Holocaust in the US and things look like it's going that way.
I hope one day to have the honor of meeting you.
Tonight is Seder Night here in Israel and there are still 133 hostages in Gaza.
What's left is to wish you and your family a Chag Sameach.

Even in the underworld, the Jewish guys were so much more educated than us Italians. Just listen to how eloquent this man is in his description of the Jewish mob. My hat is off to you Mr. Sugarman.

I never thought of Jews as anything but tough. Small usually, but they just never give up.
