Antisemitism is Against Patriotism in the USA

This is really more to raise awareness than anything else. But just please know that Jewish children in the US are afraid to even admit being Jewish for all the attacks- physical, verbal, etc.
My son, the sweetest kid in the world- the kid who opens doors for strangers and struggles with communication due to his autism…doesn’t need to be attacked again and have other kids drawing swastikas on his body….he is still recovering from that.
He learned a lesson that I believe he will never forget. We Jews are here in the US at the pleasure of the common people and the only safe place for us- the only place we are guaranteed refuge- is Israel. So many of our people have died or converted for simply being born Jewish. We are only a small percentage of the world population now.
I thank all my friends of all faiths who continue to support, defend and pray for our fellow humans. The stereotypes out there are not true. We are just like everyone else. Each one of us different, an individual. And as Ann Ryand famously said “the smallest minority is the individual”.
I have no quarrel with people of other faiths. Nor of other ethnicities. Or even political affiliation. My only quarrel is with those who use violence against others out of ignorance and prejudice.
In America, we are a melting pot. A land of laws, not men- per one of our best founding fathers, John Adams, second President of the US and veteran of the revolutionary war.
Religious persecution is what drove people here, to “the new world”. I can’t condone some of what was done many years ago in the name of anything- I just know that we have laws and not a king that we must follow and obey in all matters.
This is freedom. Or possibly as close to it as we can get. That all men and women are created equal regardless of our ethnic background, sex, religion and are judged by the merits of our character alone.
