Summer “Hate” Wave: A Pattern of Anti-Jewish Violence
First Liberty Institute ^ | August 2, 2019 | Stephanie Taub

Posted on 08/02/2019 2:43:28 PM PDT by Tolerance Sucks Rocks

Rabbi Netanel Louie leads the Hebrew Discovery Center, a small Orthodox Jewish synagogue in Los Angeles county that has endured multiple acts of violence in the past few years.

Sadly, the hate against this Jewish community doesn’t seem to stop. Recently, in the middle of the night a vandal threw a can of white paint at the synagogue, defacing the front entrance to the building.

This isn’t the first time the Hebrew Discovery Center has been the target of hateful acts because of who they are or what they believe.

A couple of years earlier, a man walked in while children were present and screamed about killing the Jews before knocking over property and storming out. In 2016, vandals tore up a temporary structure used for Yom Kippur rituals and caused thousands of dollars in property damage.

Due to the persistent vandalism, the synagogue has had to invest in stronger fences and security systems, and add a sign near the front entrance warning against trespassing. On multiple occasions, they’ve had no choice but to call the police in order to protect their property and ensure the safety of their members.

Despite all that, hateful acts against this small synagogue continue to this day, and it may have much to do with an apparent rise in anti-Semitism in recent years. According to statistics from the Anti-Defamation League, the number of incidents of assault, harassment, and vandalism rose significantly in 2017 and 2018 compared with 2015 and 2016.

That might have wiped out thousands.

Millions, maybe.

It's the Holocaust all over again.

There needs to be a group called “Jews with Glocks”.

Yes, clearly.
The Nazi’s wiped out so many people with a gallon of white paint.

The comparison is totally valid.

I am so sick of this anti-Semite crap.

Conservatives should start a #youtoo movement to drive anti-Semites out of public life.

Then maybe a #youslobberingidiot movement to drive leftwads out of public life.

Maybe the good Rabbi should tell his congregants that this is what Leftists do - with the first bunch of Leftists being the Nazis. Tell them to act according to American values, which are generally consistent with Jewish values, and to vote for those espousing such beliefs (and not Dems).

But I don’t expect that, as most of my co-religionists (so don’t flame me, bro) are as dumb as a bag of hammers when it comes to politics and matters of self-preservation. This extends to do-gooder Rabbis (and, no, I don’t know where this particular Rabbi stands on political matters - I was generalizing).

Check out these guys: http://jpfo.org/

BTW, who wants a Glock when you can have a Colt Gov’t Model (or 3, and an AR, and a shotgun, and an unregistered antique Mosin, and a Remington 700 that can reach out an touch someone 800 yards with ease)?

Uh, because “Jews with Colt Govt Model and AR and shotgun and unregistered antique Mosin and Remington 700” isn’t quite as catchy?

BTW, I have all the weapons listed above. Wait - I dig commie chic, so sub AK-47 for the AR.

;^)

I also have an AK...no, wait, I don’t since it isn’t on paper, either.

I’m pretty sure that orthodox Jews are more conservative than the Jewish mainstream.
