I had a typical middle class/lower middle class upbringing. Couple of Jewish classmates in high school, teachers. Enormous State University. We started the first lacrosse team in the state since the Hurons dropped it, couple of at least secular Jews on it. Jewish fraternity brothers. Dated a Jewish girl for a while. Army, met some Jews. Blue collar jobs in college, blue/white collar jobs since the Army.
Couple of left-wing affiliations for the work–civil rights in MS. Usual civic life–coached youth soccer, so forth.
Kids active in high school, met their friends and friends’ parents.
Met a lot of different people.
Worst things I heard said about Jews were Jews telling Jewish in-group jokes.

I never met anybody I could picture bestirring himself to take an afternoon to go someplace and pester Jews much less bother to get organized and violent.
Where did this come from?

this is the way the nebi musa and hebron riots began in 20 and 29, it’s also how incidents like those provoked by michael isikoff,in Pakistan in 2005, based on the apocryphal flushed Koran, one wonders where that came from

All good comments. Ted Cruz is right.

This was a well organized and executed attack. Needs a carefully planned and effective response.

That’s beyond my capabilities, but someone more capable should do this.

@ Marisa > “The rumor was ….”

How many Muslim Rage stories in the last decade or more (or all of history?) have begun with those three words?
And IIRC most of the precipitating rumors were exactly that.
A rumor is also enough to get you killed for blasphemy in Islamic countries, whether or not you actually did anything that qualified.

"I’ve had a couple of people say point-blank, ‘How could any Jew vote for a Democrat?’" Michigan Jewish Democrats' West Michigan chair Troy Zukowski told CNN. "I’m not so concerned about Jews who may vote for Trump," he continued. "I’m more concerned about those who may vote for third party spoiler candidates or not vote at all." Baby steps. I am unconcerned about the above, but highly concerned about the Biden regime's mass importation of jihadists. Suicidally, the Michigan Jewish Democrats’ West Michigan chair couldn't care less about the latter.

Gringo:

Thank you.

I was sitting on my hands, as the inveterate reference-dropper, not to bring that up. 🙂

I suspect we are going to see a serious migration of Jews away from blue cities. Destinations – Israel or red states where carry is straightforward and self defense recognized. Sad that it will be necessary.

yes she protects her fedayeen, so to speak
of course the former da in san francisco chesa boudin was the son of two other members of the Venceremos/SDS crew, very soggy red diaper baby, Obama was his baby sitter I think at one point,

you’re winnings sir, in the michael walsh, prequel, they go into renault’s backstory, and how he got addicted to the slots as a young prefect,

not exactly in the same vein, but the late harry reid, pretended to be an honest official in las vegas, but the local mobsters
like Joe Agosto knew him as ‘cleanface’ a very ironic title, of course he ran in 86, when the likes of Dan Moldea, was trying to tarnish Laxalt and Reagan as being mobbed up,
that probably had some effect,

The Vigilance Committees that sprung up in AZ in the late 1800s were the product of a formal justice system that would not act to deter crime. To see a rekindling of this approach today would not give me pause. Nor would it surprise me.

Many today characterize those vigilance committees as “wrong”, but offer no alternative when the authorities will not act. People are left to provide for their own safety and that can get pretty ugly at times.

whose the mayor, karen bass a former member of the venceremos brigades, the ones who went to Cuba, and came back as the Weathermen, whose the DA, Sr Gascon, who sadly is a paisan, a former army veteran, and even a former LAPD officer, but a committed lefty

As Karen Bass is one of the Venceremos crowd- which I didn’t realize until you pointed it out and I verified it- it is not surprising she has pushed police protection for pro-Palestinian protestors and not for those of the Jewish faith.

I would like to ask the Venceremos crowd their opinion about several embarrassing facts about Cuba. Such as Pinochet having a superior record in reducing Infant Mortality than Castro did. Or how, even with Fidel pushing super-cow Ubre Blanca (white udder), Cuban production of milk has increased only 10-25% since 1961(varies according to which year you end at), while Latin America’s milk production has more than quadrupled since 1961.
