Comments on: I am sure Trump will speak as loudly about this as he spoke about the fictional Swedish attacks…

This is simply a fact- THEY themselves are saying so… the numerous incidents of racists yelling at some minority that Trump will deport them… the neo-nazis and KKK chortling that their man won… And with Sessions as AG they can feel sure they wont be looked into too carefully…

These acts are the result of Trump’s election and the guilt lies with those that made that possible… knowing damn well what path they were setting us on.

Bomb threats and keying of cars in Jewish community centers.
It appears to be coordinated. It ties in with other anti-semitic actions in 10 other states, all in the Eastern half of the country.

No, I don’t think Trump is involved directly, (i.e., I don’t think his administration is ordering them) but I am curious about how much anti-Jew activity is involved, as compared to general xenophobia. There are relatively fewer hate crimes reported against Muslims, and none against blacks or Mexicans as far as I can tell. The terror actions against Jews seem coordinated, by both their timing, geographical distribution and clustering.

Its still too early to tell yet, but I don’t see a general anti immigrant or xenophobic pattern here, but a flare up of traditional anti-semitism. That leads me to think this is coming from one place, and from an origin with specific targets in mind.

If this rash continues, we should be seeing some sort of pattern start to manifest itself which may allow a bit more informed speculation as to where its originating. But I don’t think its just unconnected acts of vandalism by a few isolated wackos. No, I don’t think Trump is responsible, but I don’t think this is just random, isolated activity inspired by his rhetoric, either. I see someone using him as cover.

What I don’t understand is why the Jews are hated so much. They don’t look or act any differently than anyone else, and we don’t have a long historical tradition of anti-semitism like they do in Europe.

Don't outsource the propaganda to Macedonia- let's keep those jobs right here in the USA! Rob will tell us there is no reason to think the election of Trump is connected to the rash of Hate crime, the rise of the neo-nazis and the rash of 160 or so bomb threats against Jewish centers and the desecration of Jewish cemeteries... TB will cite some reference that claims that if you use some narrow definition of 'Hate Crime' then the numbers aren't as high as the main stream media would have you believe... And Steve will vomit some article from Breitbart, world net daily or Alex Jones and then run off for a few weeks... And the best thing about it? THEY WILL DO IT FOR FREE!!

They’re probably painting America as a country where roving gangs of white supremacists are invading taverns, shooting Muslims in revenge for all those Nordic girls getting assaulted by Islamic refugees in Europe.

And why stop there? We now have a wave of anti-semites vandalizing Jewish graveyards.

They probably weren’t even Muslim, since Islam is a minority religion in India, and especially since they were hanging out in a bar.

But they were brown, which is all that really matters. You know how those people all look the same.
