Really ? We have approximately 2% of the population reported as being Jewish and 7% are Jews in the new Congress. There are a total of 37 Jews of the 535 law makers. There are 55 Black, 47 Hispanic, 17 Asian as both Reps and senators.
What on Earth are you babbling about here, tiny? I made zero mention of our politicians’ religious affiliation. Your reply is completely off-topic from my post.
It's been well-publicized that George Floyd's family is being invited to the WH.
Given the 68% rise in anti-Semitic attacks in just the last few weeks, and considering that Jews were always more likely to be victimized by a hate crime than blacks even before this recent surge, doesn't it make sense for Biden to be willing to show that he stands against antisemitism by offering the same recognition to one of the victims of Jew-hate in recent weeks (take your pick; they're occurring daily) as he is giving to George Floyd's family?
Would Biden be willing to risk the wrath of Omar, Tlaib, and all the far-left Palestinians (and Palestinian sympathizers) by giving such recognition to a Jew? For a party that portends to be against prejudice, it seems that they are against prejudice against SPECIFIC groups only.
Curious, since you are among those who think that reporting on race or religious crimes is the cause for more hate, why are you posting this?
I mean, if the mere mention of racism in America (according to you and your party) is the main cause for racism, why are you going out of your way to drum up more hate against Jews. Shouldn't you take your own advice and just deny it's happening, so it will go away?
(Not that I believe that is the right approach, but if you are going to be consistent, shouldn't you just deny it?)

^^^ This gives insight as to why liberals are so tolerant of antisemitism. They measure things by “outcome,” and Jews, as a group, are better educated and higher achieving than average, DESPITE the massive bigotry against them. As mentioned previously, Jews are more likely to be victims of hate crimes than blacks or Muslims, but because they rose above the immense bigotry, liberals tolerate antisemitism (if not outright pushing it)
IOW, the massive surge in antisemitism doesn’t concern many leftists because Jews are disproportionately successful - doctors, lawyers, congresspeople, whatever - and thus hate crimes against them aren’t as concerning as racism against blacks.

Huh? Reporting on hate crimes causes more hate? To the contrary, it is critical that Americans be made aware of the hate crimes surging against Jews. (There is no need to make it known against blacks; it’s been made the major issue over the past year.)
How does saying that Biden should stand up against antisemitism, and send the message to the country that hate crimes against Jews are unacceptable and that he STANDS WITH JEWS create hate? What enables the hate is the soft-peddling of antisemitism - eh, not so bad - rather than taking a firm stance against it.
If Biden invited a Jewish victim of Hate to the Whitehouse then that would help convince the Jews that Liberals stand with them against the face of antisemitism!
Inviting one victim to the White House does not go nearly far enough. Biden needs to make a VERY strong statement that this is wrong and should not be tolerated, and that anyone who commits a hate crime against anyone will be severely punished. Anything less that that, imo, would be northing more than just a photo op and giving lip service to something that should not be tolerated anywhere, but especially not in a country that prides itself in striving for equality and justice for all (even though it has not so far succeeded in accomplishing this).
(Btw, I am not Jewish, but I am very much against ANY kind of bullying or discrimination based on skin color, ancestry, or religion.)

All Americans (including Biden) should stand up against ALL hate. Period.
It clearly is NOT "known against blacks", look no further than this forum to see that many still deny it, and quite an alarming number still think blacks are shown net-favoratism in America.
There are also hate crimes against Muslims, against Palestinians, against LBGTQs, and so many other groups.
I 100% stand with you on denouncing hate against Jews. I don't agree with you that they (we) should get special treatment. Stand against hate in all forms, and DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT, no matter who the victim, or else it's hard to take you seriously.
And it's surprising, you support a guy who said a group chanting "Jews will not replace us" were fine people? I denounced it, and most of the people you align with were not having it. They supported the freedoms of the demonstrating anti-semites over those who were protesting their message of hate.
Pick a side if you want to be considered credible.

Just remember what Trump said when it came to violence against Jews: there are good people on both sides. Biden should invite both right wingers and Jewish victims to have tea in the Rose Garden.
We can always count on you to regurgitate the lies of the media/DNC.

Who says we should get special treatment?! Stop minimizing antisemitism.
We are not even getting EQUAL treatment - despite the fact that hate crimes are levied against Jews more than other groups. Antisemitism is being tolerated and overlooked at the same time bigotry against blacks is being exaggerated with lies about white supremacists.
And Trump wasn’t referring to the new-Nazis. He was referring to the two sides of the issue of removing statues. You liberals keep peddling that same lie for years. Trump was breve enough to issue an EO to clamp down on antisemitism on college campuses, despite Democrats’ objections,
And it’s not surprising. You support a guy who wants to empower Hamas by turning the money spigot back on to the antisemites whose goal it is to wipe Israel off the map.
