One year after 10/7 attacks and Democrat-run states have let antisemitism fester

 

[...] It seemed like antisemitism was festering all over the country.

 

But a closer look showed that it wasn't, actually, happening everywhere, it was very specifically happening in places primarily run by Democrats.  It's not that antisemitism can't exist in red areas.  It can, it does.  Vandalism, verbal harassment, even physical assault can happen in Republican-led places.  But the occurrence is far rarer and the real difference is the consequences.


According to the Anti Defamation League (ADL) "The states with the highest number of incidents were California (1,266), New York (1,218), New Jersey (830), Florida (463) and Massachusetts (440)."  Four of those states are blue states.  In my red home state of Florida, we had approximately the same number of incidents as Massachusetts while having about three times the population and a third of the incidents of New York despite having over 2 million more people.  [...]

To Save Time, Chicago Nightly News Just Going To Report Names Of People Not Shot That Day

 

CHICAGO, IL — Editorial staff of the Chicago Nightly News reportedly discovered a brilliant hack to save time and energy at their jobs: simply reporting the names of the Chicago citizens who were not shot throughout the day.


"Tonight, we are happy to report that, um, Dave Jenkins and Carol Smith have not been shot," said one reporter.  "Aaannnd, yeah.  I guess that's it.  We're done here!"  [...]

Missed this thread, so many good stories of late but here is a sad one.

 

 

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”
