People should be able to worship without nonsense like this, but three unidentified people that dress up and spew nazi slogans also shouldn't be able to strike fear in a congregation of Jews in a country with a 2nd amendment. If the rabbis are fearful, this is exactly what the 2nd amendment is for- so the gentle can live without fear.

It's ugly, sad and frustrating to have one's tolerance tested by the intolerant, but it's not much different than what Al Gore's Westboro "Baptist" goons did to churches, funerals and such for more than ten years and there were far more than three of those goons. And it's that tolerance of speech, not our fear of it, that makes us American.

How much you want to bet that Zimmerman still can't imagine why anyone would want to own a firearm or be allowed to defend themselves?

Hopefully this is something of a mind-opening experience to bafflingly liberal American Jews.

American Jews have nothing to fear from conservatives. The left, on the other hand, is a different story. You think BLM is pro-Israel and not anti-Semitic? I doubt it.

Are they sure these were not leftists? So many fake hate crimes and unidentifiable effigies of Obama being hung out there.

I would have shot them on site. No money is out there to subsidize the white skin of someone, yet many liberal princesses out there support Manning getting is pride subsidized by my taxes for his sex change

You are a bit too gullible Piasa. How come not a single pic? And if it did happen, much more likely that it was anti-semetic antifa thugs.

Alan Zimmerman, the president of the Reform congregation
......
The key here is that Reform in this instance means liberal. And its posted in a liberal rag.

So maybe just because they guy is liberal testifying for a liberal rag—doesn’t mean the guy didn’t feel threatened.

The problem is that this is a perfect liberal story ... maybe too perfect—like something out of To Kill A Mockingbird.

But we’ll never know for sure.

Something is just strange and wrong with these stories
Who are these punks?
What do they have to do with Robert E Lee statues, free speech or Donald Trump , who has a religious Jewish daughter and family?

I’d like to see a concerted effort to research their identities
Something just nags at me they they are plants and provocateurs
They are WAY too obvious and WAY too out of place at these rallies

The author writes for “reformjudaism.com”? That sounds kind of hokey right there.

if true i condemn. calling the police is a good idea. unfortunately Forward has had quite the anti-Trump agenda so i’d have to see more proof.

Oh, I’m sure that many of the people FELT intimidated. Some remembering the old days, some, younger snowflakes that are intimidated by EVERYTHING.

Like 0bama’s “Typical white granny” who would cross the street to avoid walking close to black men, I’m sure that some of those people went out the back door because they didn’t want to have to see people who may or may not have wished them ill.

But barring photos or videos of them carrying signs about killing Jews, or shouting anti-jewish slogans at them, I imagine this is more imagination than threat.

IIRC, numerous eyewitness reports have said that the only people who showed up armed were some groups of Oathkeepers, who almost assuredly were not standing across the street from a synagogue menacing its congregants. This story sounds fake.

Don't expect the far-left Forward to publicize the posters Antifa was distributing in Portland "on the Sabbath" this past weekend featuring this attack on "Heebs" (epithet for Jews)...
