I'm wondering how bad it's going to get. I live in an area where a lot of people have safe rooms, but we don't have one. We aren't Jewish but have Jewish friends. I'm curious if people are constructing safe rooms and otherwise preparing for the worst. |

NP. I have wondered what I will do if I start to see global attempts at Jewish genocide. That airplane incident was terrifying. |
Between that and the warning to Jews in Brooklyn, that's what gave me pause. If history repeats itself, it will be really quick and too late to call a contractor. |
If you live in an area with lots of safe rooms but you dot have one, shouldn’t you be constructing one already so your house is in line with comps/values of others in the area? |
No, bc a lot of people are weirded out by potential buyers knowing where the safe room is and prefer to build their own. |
Good point |
In France, my home country, the major evening news reminded their viewership that acts of non-violent antisemitism (graffiti, for example) might get you 1 year of prison, and more for violence. There has been a sharp increase of such incidents, and all Jewish sites are closely guarded by police. |
Safe rooms become ovens, as we saw in the kibbutz that were ransacked. Probably want to fend off any mob with a good arsenal. Organize your neighbors. Remove the mezzuzah from your door. |
Have you all seen what is happening to Jewish students at Cornell tonight? |
I just hung the biggest mezuzah I could find on our door, and have 3x5’ U.S./Israel flag flying on our front porch. I want to attract exactly the type of people who’d start something. Better they come to us where they’ll be dealt with and made examples of, than to you. I’m ready to defend what’s ours. Vigorously. |
If you would’ve told me 4 years ago that evangelical Trump voters would be the biggest ally of our community in 2023 I would’ve called you insane (among other things). And yet here we are. |
Not sure what this means….but the police and FBI are monitoring active, specific threats to kill Jewish students that were posted on Cornell forums today. |
