Most Americans are probably unaware that Jews were the victims of more than eight times as many anti-religion hate crimes last year as were Muslims. And the reason is simple: anti-Muslim crimes receive far more media attention.
Case in point: the media has been all but silent on a slew of anti-Semitic acts of vandalism at Indiana University, coinciding with the beginning of the celebration of Hanukkah (h/t Stephen Richer):
A series of anti-Semitic acts of vandalism aimed at various Jewish facilities on and near campus has caused Indiana University police to contact local FBI officials and members of the U.S. Department of Justice for help with their investigation.
On Monday, eight different Hebrew texts were taken from the shelves at Indiana University’s Wells Library and distributed to eight different men’s bathrooms, where they were thrown in toilets and urinated on, university officials confirmed. The defiled books were from the research collections section on the sixth and seventh floors of the library.
On Tuesday morning within an hour, two more rock throwing incidents at Jewish facilities were reported to police. At 7:50 a.m. Tuesday, someone threw a rock into the staff directory sign of the Jewish Studies Program in Goodbody Hall.
And earlier at 7:15 a.m. Tuesday, the Chabad House Jewish Student Center got hit with a rock for the second time in a week — this time, a rock was hurled through an upstairs apartment window and struck a wall, according to Chabad House Rabbi Yehoshua Chincholker.
"He meant to hit people, not only windows; this is my assumption," he said.
A woman was in the apartment when the rock was thrown, but was not injured, according to a news release from campus police.

We all know who are the experts at throwing rocks!
Bloomington is my hometown although I have not lived there for some time. This is another example of the “tolerance” of those who do such things. It was a pretty liberal place when I was there, it appears to still be that way.
Guess some of them stayed behind.
Odds are virtually all the Jewish students on campus tried to vote for Obama and his crowd.
I recall similar things taking place in Bloomington even back in the 1970s, including spray-painted swastikas.
