I sincerely hope it is unnecessary, but I can understand that people don’t want to take a chance.
I was carefully informed by mac_truck just yesterday that Jews needen’t take precautions against terrorism, and that doing so was just “gaslighting”:
“ There were just 4 physical assaults labeled as ‘antisemitism’ by the ADL in the entire Pacific Northwest (Oregon, Washington, Idaho) in 2024, but only one involving a man wearing a kippah.
In this case two women allegedly ‘assaulted’ a man wearing a kippah who they were arguing with at a street protest in Boise Idaho.
Charges against both women in this case were eventually dropped on first amendment grounds and lack of evidence of a physical assault. The judge in the case ruled that the defendant’s phone touching the nose of the plaintive was incidental and not the result of an assault.
Frankly, this case serves as a good example of how overblown the danger is and why people stop paying attention to the gaslighting.”
