The fact that I see pro-hamas loons getting in the faces of innocent Americans, for example, people leaving a Jewish funeral service and being allowed to confront with police watching and no one stepping in to pull those trolls back....the fact that they're allowed to be taking over streets, bridges, gov't buildings without any consequence...the fact that these antisemites hold positions in education, law, healthcare and at most seem to get 'suspended with pay', it emboldens, condones and spreads this toxic thinking. It will only continue to get worse. On top of it, how they do not see that this is just the start--once done with the Jews, it spreads to all Americans. The fire our leaders are playing with and refusing to deal with is insanity. Biden has yet to condemn any squad member for their raging antisemitic statements, posts and /or those taking to the streets. I do NOT understand how Eric Adams can say "we're not okay" in one breath and then allow his city to be overrun with these dangerous and anti-American thugs who celebrate at 9/11 memorial. These lawless people who have zero respect for the freedoms here, those who serve to protect them and yet they go unchallenged 98% of the time. It's infuriating. Jewish people in positions of influence and power must continue to speak out and speak louder than they have been. (I know it's easy for me to sit here and say but I don't have the platforms they do.) I feel like we're always too nice and I'm sick of it. We get cr*pped on too often. We can't wish this away, we can't hope it'll pass over and wait for the next cause that grabs the attention of the professional protestors and haters. We must act!

On the other hand, if you pray quietly outside an abortion clinic, the polce will take immediate action.
