The police bulletins have circulated among Jews on social media, in WhatsApp chats and via email: A white supremacist group is calling for a “National Day of Hate” this Saturday and encouraging antisemites to vandalize and deface Jewish institutions.

Information about the antisemitic campaign was first provided by the Chicago Police Department, and a “situational awareness alert” with NYPD insignia circulating online advises local Jewish communities to be on the lookout for suspicious activity.

Law enforcement and security agencies in the Chicago and New York City areas, however, say that as of Thursday afternoon, there are no known concrete threats to Jewish institutions. The NYPD did not comment on the authenticity of the bulletin with its seal but told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, “While there are no identified threats to New York City, out of an abundance of caution, the Department will deploy additional resources to sensitive locations, including houses of worship, throughout the weekend.”

The Chicago Police Department said in a statement this week, “At this time, there is no actionable intelligence.” And a report from the Secure Community Network, a national group that coordinates security for Jewish institutions, said, “It should be noted, online chatter surrounding the campaign has remains limited and we assess, as in the past, this will not likely be a widespread event.”

5. why the hell not? We Jews have ben targets since Rome. Why should it stop now? As for police,

"Some of those that work forces are the same that burn crosses.

Those who died are justified for wearing the badge, they're the chosen whites
You justify those that died by wearing the badge, they're the chosen whites"

I wouldn't be surprised if many "wearing the badge" support and approve of this. Remember, many police were also segregationists as well.

8. I love you.

I will even add that I love you because you have the rich Jewish heritage I learned to appreciate in my youth. The Seltzer family was my introduction to Judaism and I have been a better person since Lloyd yelled at me for playing at nazi when I was a schoolboy. His words made me see the pain such hate can cause. I can now say proudly that I respect all people who have faith that promotes good. I find my Jewish friends are the instrument of my enlightenment. I am with you. And my motto is "Punch ALL Nazis Everywhere and ALL THE TIME."

9. Stop the madness.

According to the Anti-Defamation League, the campaign is being pushed by a small white supremacist group in Iowa called Crew-319, in conjunction with other extremist groups.

This is not free speech. It is hate crime and all responsible should be beset upon WHERE THEY LIVE and prosecuted. These groups and individuals should be held further liable for the acts that result from their toxic crap. Including the social media platforms that give the megaphone to these monsters... you listening Supreme Court?
