[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can we please stop speculating about the vandal? While his motivation is important to this particular case, it's the big picture that really matters here: antisemitic incidents are on the rise and Jews do not feel safe in our own country. What are we (collectively, not just the Jews) doing about that?[/quote]

I’m a Jew and feel very safe in this country. Please don’t speak for all of us.[/quote]
Ok, let me clarify. Not this PP. Some Jews. Most Jews? All the Jews that I know.[/quote]

Most Jews I know, including me and my family, feel safe in this country. Do we feel less safe than we did a few years ago? Sure. But I only know of one or two people who are actively looking for anything like an escape route.

I ride on the Capital Crescent Trail frequently, but I don't think whoever scrawled this garbage there wants to do anything other than feel tough and laugh in private about how scared they're making us.[/quote]

I'm Jewish and I feel safe in the DMV and NY (where I am from) -- but the rest of America? Not the PNW. Not the South. Not the Southwest. Not the rural midwest.[/quote]

Not in Georgia? Full of Jews, a lot of them students. Not in Florida? Not in South Carolina? I've been many times and have had no issues. Not in Arizona? Enough Jews in the retirement areas to fill at least two temples in my parents' retirement area alone. I have family in SD, in Albuquerque, in TN, in Louisiana, in Washington state, in Oregon. I have a large family so I'm sure I missed some.  Remarkably they have had no issues either. [/quote]
