Disgusting and reprehensible, yet not remotely surprising given today’s climate

I have a friend who says antisemitism isnt on the rise 🤨

Just awful :(

“The device, described as a Molotov cocktail, did not burst into flames, and there were no injuries and minimal damage to the temple, police said.”

Imagine being so pathetic you can’t figure out how to set a fire with a highly flammable substance

Show them numbers from ADL

https://www.adl.org/resources/press-release/adl-audit-finds-antisemitic-incidents-united-states-reached-all-time-high

Ask them to rethink their stance. If they don't or are unwilling you might want to rethink your friendship.

My friend wont listen

Then maybe you need to find friends that listen to facts and reason and don't side with ideas that minimize antisemitism.

Stupidity can be contagious and dangerous.

Agreed

Just another day for NJ Jews honestly. At least we don’t have it as bad as NY though, so there’s that.

Disgusting 🤮

He even put a little super villain costume together.

If you are dumb enough to try and fire bomb a synagogue with a molotov cocktail, you are dumb enough to fuck it up.
Here's to this guy being an idiot. Too bad he didn't set himself on fire instead. Then he would get caught when showing up to the ER for burns.

I hate that some bigots make you feel that way. Just know your non-jewish neighbors are enraged by this cowardly act too. We stand with you.

Thank you, that’s very kind of you to say!

That’s a major road in Bloomfield. At 3:20am, he’s the only, if not just a few cars on the road. Two blocks in one direction is a traffic camera, hopefully his phone pinged his locations the entire time

My grandfather was like that. He died alone in his house. No one missed him until he didn't go back to work after a 2-week vacation. Left an unsightly stain on the floor.

Anyway, fuck nazis.

With a Totenkopf on his SSweater.

When I lived in Montclair, I was constantly peeling Patriot Front slaptags off the backs of street signs. Essex County has a Nazi problem.

> your non-jewish neighbors are enraged by this cowardly act

Thank you. And thank you for keeping us safe.

>That’s a major road in Bloomfield. At 3:20am

Building set back far enough to avoid notice.

If he walked. If he drove, there are some traffic cameras that should be able to narrow down who he is

>Essex County has a Nazi problem.

Always did. In New Jersey, (Judge) Perlman relied on (Newark's) mob boss and bootlegger extraordinaire Abner “Longie” Zwillman. In turn, Zwillman looked to his pal, ex-boxer and gym owner Nat Arno, for help in recruiting Jewish tough guys. The ever-generous Zwillman covered all costs incurred by these “Minutemen,” who saw themselves as the elite fighting force of the Revolutionary War.

Yeah, I've read Nazis in Newark.
