A Chicago Jewish day school received a bomb threat.
A molotov cocktail was thrown at a Chicago synagogue.
Hand-made posters in support of Hamas were placed on two synagogues in Irvine, California.
None of these places are Israeli. And yet, somehow, they’re all being attacked as if they were connected to Israel. Why is that? Hm. Let’s think.
Officials say they don’t know if there’s a link between the incident and increased violence in the Middle East.
Right. They don’t know. They can’t figure out why people will attack Jewish schools and religious institutions when they’re angry with Israel, the Jewish State.
But again, it isn’t anti-Zionism. It’s anti-Semitism.
Oh, but these weren’t mosques, so they’re not hate crimes, noooo. They’re just “Random acts of violence”.

Youths who are being left behind by society, and who need hope. And change!

Whenever I encounter someone spouting the “I am an anti-Zionist, not an anti-Semite!” line, I think that, theoretically, they could be telling the truth.
However, decades of observation have convinced me that the odds are very long that they are, in fact, Jew-haters. They just lack the guts to cop to it.

For the record, I think you’re wonderful.
