expert stupidity

I’m glad the reporter writing this story sought the advice of an “expert,” a professor at the Columbia University, because left on my own I could never have predicted that the fighting in the Middle East would "sharpen tensions” between American Jews and Palestinians.  Note the report says that mosques as well as synagogues could be targeted by “right-wing extremists” (there are, of course, no such thing as extremists on the left who resort to violence).  In other words, peaceful Arabs have as much to fear as Jews.  

So let’s see how this has played out -- first lets take a look at some of the violence directed at synagogues and Jews: 

Swastikas painted on a synagogue in Miami

Anti-semitic leaflets left on cars in Chicago

Jewish students extracted from violent mob in Boston

 Pro-Israel demonstrators attacked in LA 

In Seattle, Jews depicted as eating babies and drinking their blood

And now let's look at some of the attacks on mosques and Arabs here in the US:

Enough said.
