The FBI just released its annual hate crimes statistics. Jews were the target of 60% of anti-religious hate crimes, despite constituting just 2% of the U.S. population. This continues a longstanding trend of Jews being the most targeted group every year. https://ucr.fbi.gov/hate-crime/2017/topic-pages/tables/table-1.xls …

Ok, now I feel better. My brother and I are trying to sell 3 cemetery plots. Nothing special about
them aside from the fact that they are all next to each other. My father wanted the whole family
buried in one place, but my brother and I have made alternate plans. Mom is already buried there.
Dad decided to go the cremation route after he bought them and is interred elsewhere.
At any rate, we're trying to sell all three, or one at a time. I've never done this kind of sale before,
so my logic was to put them all on Ebay. Not one serious bite. We think we've priced them fairly
but of course we may have to come down on price.
Is Ebay a waste of time ? How do you do this ? Thanks in advance for your help.

Cemetery plots: need help please
Because this is a somewhat lugubrious topic, here's a nice kitty video to compensate for it:

BERLIN (AP) -- Chancellor Angela Merkel and Germany's main Jewish leader warned against tolerating modern-day anti-Semitism and racism as they marked the 80th anniversary Friday of the Nazis' anti-Jewish Kristallnacht, or "Night of Broken Glass," pogrom.
On Nov. 9, 1938, Jews were terrorized throughout Germany and Austria. At least 91 people were killed, hundreds of synagogues burned down, some 7,500 Jewish businesses vandalized, and up to 30,000 Jewish men arrested, many of whom were taken away to concentration camps.
Twenty years after Germany's defeat in World War I and 5½ years after Adolf Hitler took power, state-driven anti-Semitism "made it possible for many Germans to live out long-held resentments, to live out hatred and violence," Merkel said. "With the November pogrom, the road to the Holocaust was mapped out."
Merkel spoke in a ceremony at a Berlin synagogue. The head of Germany's Central Council of Jews, Josef Schuster, said the building was set alight in 1938 and the blaze extinguished relatively quickly only so as not to endanger neighboring houses.

This time, our eyes are wide open.
Exactly two years ago, many Americans held their noses and voted for Donald Trump. Some were conservatives willing to tolerate his vulgar excesses in hopes of getting tax cuts, a repeal of Obamacare and a friendlier judiciary. Others had Clinton fatigue. Sure, they were concerned about Trump’s words about Mexican “rapists” and what he liked to do to women — but maybe those were just words. Maybe Trump could build a coalition across traditional party lines to get things done.
Now, all Americans have seen the results with their own eyes:
Trump defended neo-Nazis who marched in Charlottesville.
