Actually, there have been incidents of vandalism against synagogues in the Los Angeles area, with slogans like "Free Palestine" written on the outside walls.
Absolutely. Many of them. My point is that this is a coordinated, National attack, just as the Krystallnacht was. I don’t know if you know the history of the “Night of the Broken Glass”, or not. There had been many acts of violence against Jews before November of 1938, but never a National, coordinated one. In the case of Krystallnacht, you will recall that the pre-text for the “action” was when Ernst von Rath, a German Diplomat located in Paris, was gunned down by a Polish Jew (17 year old Herschel Grynszpan). He allegedly gunned down Von Rath because his parents (and 12,000 other Jews) had been expulsed by the Nazis. It could have been for other reasons. He actually looked for the German Ambassador, who was not there, but rumor had it that he knew Von Rath personally. At any rate, this was an event that Hitler and Goebbels were looking for - a match stick.
According to the History website, “Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels orchestrated a “spontaneous” reaction to the political assassination. He sent a teletype message to state police stations and secret service headquarters with detailed instructions on organizing and executing a massive attack on Jewish properties. Goebbels ordered the burning of Jewish houses of worship, businesses and homes”. Ref: https://www.history.com/news/kristallnacht-75-years-ago. ; The thing that struck me was the similarity between the event (an assassination), and the pre-planning for the aggression. Obviously, Jews are not the target (yet). The target is capitalism and the American system of a Representative Republic.
The current unrest is well coordinated and consists of “gangs” of rioters, who break in, loot, and then destroy businesses. Their attacks are well planned and coordinated. Last night in Philadelphia, we saw a glimpse of the type of operation that is going on. A gun store owner’s business had an attempted break in the night before, so he stayed in his store overnight. The same four “dudes” broke in the next night with bolt cutters, etc. and were met by the owner, who proceeded to “blow away” the first perp. The scambled away and the second perp showed up with a gunshot to the shoulder this morning at the nearest hospital. I would say that he successfully sent a message to these “revolutionaries”.
