ADL Antisemitism Audit: Blue State Incidents Most Prevalent

Looks like most of the violent hate is coming from Democrats…

Incidents occurred in all 50 states as well as the District of Columbia. The states with the highest number of incidents were New York (416), New Jersey (370), and California (367)
The Anti Defamation League’s Jonathan Greenblatt
@ADL's annual Audit of Antisemitic Incidents reports a staggering all-time high in antisemitic incidents since we began tracking this data in 1979.
 
We need to take action to combat all antisemitic hate. Sharing the facts is the first step.

that there are more incidents where there are simply more people? And that it has nothing to do with political parties?
I'd say your credibility is fully shredded except that you have long lacked any credibility to shred.

That’s true, but it’s not the sum of all factors, just one of the factors.  An intelligent and reasonable approach would be to explore and try to understand what the other factors are.  It wouldn’t hurt you to try it sometime.

with a toxic and disingenuous partisan hack. I also note that your link to the ADL study gave only part of the information and you had to provide your email address, etc., to get to the rest. I declined to do that. Did you look at the entire study?

The full report is worth a read. You can always unsubscribe to their newsletter after you’re done reading the full report.

One big trend noted in the report was the record uptick in violence during the peak of hostilities between the IDF and  Hamas last year. It’s safe to say these acts of violence were perpetrated by followers of the Democrats known as “The Squad”, not patriotic members of the GOP.

For example, on May 18, patrons at a Los Angeles restaurant were attacked by individuals who arrived in cars carrying Palestinian flags and said, “You should be ashamed of yourselves” after the customers confirmed they were Jewish. The Palestinian supporters pushed one of the victims to the ground and kicked him. Soon after, a brawl erupted, and subsequent news reports indicated  the attackers also hurled anti-Jewish slurs. On May 20, in Manhattan, while on his way to a Pro-Israel rally, a Jewish man wearing a yarmulke was attacked by a group of individuals who yelled anti-Jewish and anti-Israel slurs while they punched, kicked, pepper-sprayed and beat him
I encourage you to read the full report, and you’ll see that it is very possible for us to engage in a reasonable and intelligent discussion once the facts have been established.

You pile one assumption on top of another in lieu of facts, totally validating my position that you are neither reasonable nor intelligent.
"It's safe to say these acts of violence were perpetrated by followers of the Democrats known as 'The Squad."" WTF! Where did you find that assumption you so blithely present as if it's a fact? Oh, wait! We know! You pulled it out of your ass. Because there's ZERO evidence to back it up. I am familiar with the other incidents you cite and in NO case do they prove any such connection either with The Squad or with democrats at all.
And I did look further in the ADL's site and found a map of the US showing the location of all the incidents. And in fact almost all of them were in densely populated states (one exception being parts of Idaho known to harbor clusters of neo-Nazis). Proving only that densely populated states will always numerically have more incidents irrespective of what party governs them.
Thanks for proving again you are a total political hack.
But we already knew that.

and think that doesn’t support my point.

You’ve given us plenty of reasons to believe that you aren’t among the more intelligent posters here, yet even I don’t think you’re so naive to believe that the attacks cited below weren’t the work of pro-Palestinian “From The River To The Sea” leftists.  The suggestion that those people identify with Trump, and not The Squad, is absurd. Again, directly from the ADL Hate Incident report:

For example, on May 18, patrons at a Los Angeles restaurant were attacked by individuals who arrived in cars CARRYING PALESTINIAN FLAGS and said, “You should be ashamed of yourselves” after the customers confirmed they were Jewish. The PALESTINIAN SUPPORTERS pushed one of the victims to the ground and kicked him. Soon after, a brawl erupted, and subsequent news reports indicated  the attackers also hurled anti-Jewish slurs. On May 20, in Manhattan, while on his way to a Pro-Israel rally, a Jewish man wearing a yarmulke was attacked by a group of individuals who yelled ANTI-JEWISH and ANTI-ISRAEL slurs
I’m glad though that you at least bothered to actually read the report and hope it gave you some education on the topic.

1) I referred to densely populated states not "urban areas." I never used the word "urban." Apparently you don't comprehend the difference. Many of the incidents take place in suburban areas, which are also densely populated.
2) Show me where I mentioned Trump? You can't. Because I didn't. Please stop making shit up. Explain how it's possible to have a reasonable discussion with someone who flat-out lies.
3) You cite one incident where people were carrying Palestinian flags and stretch that to cover all the episodes. Hint: not all anti-Semitism comes from Palestinian sympathizers. Some of those yahoos don't even know what Palestine is.
It is clear that you are FAR from "among the more intelligent posters here." And are in desperate need of some education yourself.

Once again you pull up facts that help drive my point home.  

Let’s cut through the chaff. At the end of the day, I’ve demonstrated to the forum, with the help of the factual and informative ADL Hate Incident Report, that there are more anti-Semitic leftists than there are anti-Semitic conservatives. My argument prevails, and your futile attempts at rebuttal not only fell short, they in fact backfired on you.

Talk about a "futile attempt" that "backfired on you," your lame "rebuttal" is nothing more than a flat assertion -- with no facts to back it up -- that you won the debate. Sorry, it doesn't work that way.
I accept your surrender.

He has to constantly proclaim how "reasonable and intelligent" even though his posts evince the contrary.  If he was as intelligent as he claimed, he would have figured out WHY the blue states have more anti-Semitic incidents.  When Willie Sutton was asked why he robbed banks, he replied: "Because that's where the money is."  Likewise, the most anti-Semitic incidents occur in the blue states because that's where Jews live.  Too bad the OP is incapable of critical thinking; hence his uber simplistic statement: "Looks like most of the violent hate is coming from Democrats…"  Just because more anti-Semitic incidents occurred in blue states does not mean that the incidents were perpetrated by Democrats.  SMH at the OP...Spock would be horrified at his lack of logic.

Is that what you don’t believe?

Nobody said the ADL was "just flat out wrong." Some of us said the OP misinterpreted the ADL's data. Do you remotely comprehend the difference?
Apparently not.
Sad.

There has been a serious uptick of hate crimes against Jews. Do you agree with that?  Your position, that it isn't anything to do with soft on crime democratic states nor was any of this inspired by anti-Semitic remarks by democratic lawmakers of "the squad?  

It's just a law of averages...  

Is that what you think?

FOR THE SECOND TIME: I am NOT questioning the ADLs figures, just CKS' mis-interpretation of them.
What makes it so hard for you to get this?
Please seek help.

Don’t forget the peak month was May 2021, when the Israeli Defense Force was bombing Gaza and pro-Palestinian protests and support was at its highest in the US.  The leftists here prefer to ignore the most obvious relevant facts.
