This is really good. Thank you. While I was down in Humboldt doing High Holiday services, there was a lot of fear around an episode of anti-jewish leafletting that had just happened (similar to one a couple of years ago here in Portland and probably off of the same website). Coming from Portland, where I have gotten to hear "Jews will not replace us!" up close and personally on a number of occasions, it seemed pretty tame. But the fear wasn't- not for those folks. Bigotries of all sorts are now out from under their rocks and everyone NOT right-wing, white, cis, x-tian, straight really ought to be banding together in mutual support and defence.

That is pretty shocking. Echos of Nazi Germany and the centuries of anti-semitism. Thanks for your cogent comments.
