[quote=Anonymous][quote]I will remind you again of two things:

1. I always said Black Americans have it worse

2. Jews are more likely to be victims of hate crimes than any other group, including Black Americans[/quote]

NP. You may want to dig more deeply into the data. Hate crimes against the Jewish community are far more likely to be property crimes than they are to be crimes against an individual, which renders the comparision somewhat meaningless.

Yes, it is traumatizing when a synagogue is targeted for vandalism, or a cemetary. Those are serious crimes that should be investigated and punished. But hate crimes against individual Jewish people are relatively rare, in part because outside the Orthodox communities, Jews are not easily targeted. On the other hand, hate crimes against Black people (or Latino/Hispanic, or Asian/Middle Eastern) are more likely to be perpetuated directly onto the person.

I think we can all agree that crimes against people are worse than crimes against property, even if both are bad. [/quote]
