You're just proving the point of the Forward article.

Unless you find similar articles about hate crimes against Chassidic or Yeahivish Jews.

Which point of the article are you talking about since it makes several points?

You are not getting into Harvard with your racist and misogynist comments and views. On the flip side you are a perfect candidate to become president.

[Yehuda57]

It was a simple question. Your non-answer says it all.

Against better judgement, here goes:

Oy, read the article again before talking to anyone else about reading comprehension.

Really? Who was the anyone else you are referring to in this comment?

Indeed, the "anyone else" is [current] gingyguy. But I was not saying anything about his *comment*, let alone defending it. I was saying that *you* failed to comprehend the primary points of the piece if that was your response, which made it ironic that you used *that* (reading comprehension) criticism.

[ExGingi]

Which point of the article are you talking about since it makes several points?

The main point which is right there in the title (and the link).

Antisemitism against "The Jew's Jews" (to use a term from the article) is highly prevalent (possibly more so than the other bias crimes that you mention, if talking in ratios) yet I challenge you to find even 1 article in the MSM about it, for every 100 (or 1,000, or more) article about hate crimes against blacks, LGBT, women, Hispanics, or any other group.

Thank you!!!

Antisemitism against "The Jew's Jews" (to use a term from the article) is highly prevalent...

Where did I disagree with this?
My point was the same can be said against other minorities. If you all would get out more you would see it in real time instead of relying on news articles.

Where's that meme of something that flew right over your head?

I myself have written about this at length before here and at The Forward.

This is last week:

I’ll be joining @TheRevAl on MSNBC later this afternoon to discuss the president’s rhetoric about Jewish Americans. Tune in to @PoliticsNation at 5 p.m. to catch the show.

That's one of the leaders of the Reform movement, arguably the largest group of Jews in the country, going on a show with an unrepentant anti-Semite with Jewish blood on his hands.

This is the head of the ADL, who's job description is literally to combat anti-Semitism also whitewashing the anti-Semite:

As we continue to be reminded, our words matter. Thank you to my friend Jonah Pesner for his continued leadership at @TheRAC and strong conviction on such an important issue. His position is one we all should be able to support. https://t.co/sRmWAUcg7u

This is because the victims are A) not the right kind of Jews. b) the perpetrators are not the right kind of anti-Semites.

This is me a couple of weeks ago:

"Mr Jew man, you all right?"
"Yeah, how you doing?"
"You walk down the street like you f***ing own it. You don't f***ing own it."

Just another Monday night in Crown Heights.

This happens on a daily basis. I probably only tweeted that one because I was scrolling through Twitter when it happened. It's no big deal to get cursed at, right? But this is my neighbor:

This morning, as my father in law was walking in Rochester Park in Crown Heights, he was attacked with a deadly weapon. This is absolutely frightening, and obviously something that a civilization should never tolerate. May Hashem protect us, and we should only share good news. https://t.co/ZEYjk92Fms

I could just as easily have been attacked.

Many DDFers live in Rockland County where this is going on:

If you thought the anti-Semitism was a "left/right" thing, I have news for you. Republican Party of Rockland County posts this overtly Naziesque video, saying the Jews are threatening "our homes, our families, our schools, our water, our way of life."pic.twitter.com/n6mvP63jSY

And the same for Tom's River/Lakewood and many other places.

You like to say words matter. Oftentimes silence matters more.

If you would get out more you would know where to look. 

Maybe just maybe YOU are the one not understanding things over here. Maybe YOU need to get out more.

While on the topic of antisemitism, my son who got back from spending about a month in various Ukranian towns said the other day "thank G-d for antisemitism!".

When we all looked at him in puzzlement, he recalled how upon arriving at a certain town, a lady screamed at him and his partner "go back to Israel, this town has no place for Jews". My son responded by telling her that prior to WWII this town was 70% Jewish, and you are living on top of the blood of thousands of Jews that were murdered and their property stolen.

When he got to repeat that story to even the most disenfranchised Jew in the town, it brought about a Jewish awakening, prompting them to want to do a mitzvah to show their Jewishness. The other good thing about antisemitism is, that it protects from assimilation.
