    Orlando.... Again
    Any study that measures 2021 against 2020 seems ludicrous.

    Hmmm, wonder why so many Jewish people are moving to Florida if there are so many hate crimes against the Jewish populations...

    No, they are too nice. Im all about the antichrist and Hitler worshiping meetings. I try attending virtually every Wed night. If you feel like taking shit over or have a bad disposition toward Kippah's, let me know we would love to have you if you are interested...

    No, just don't think it's a huge deal. IF it was, I would think Jewish people wouldn't be flocking to FL. Where does FL rank nationally compared to other states on a per capita basis? That would be useful. Plus it's an election year so I take a lot of what I read with a huge grain of salt, especially near election time.

    Then you missed the golf cart parade in the Villages in 2020 where a Trump supporter shouted "white power" to a Biden protestor.



    Check out 1:24 of the video. (Language NSFW)

    They aren't interested in meaningful facts only facts they can manipulate into their agenda, otherwise someone would have addressed what I pointed out about the Jewish population in Florida falling right where you would expect from the OP's post. The OP said Florida ranks 3rd in anti semitic incidents behind Calif and New York. But wow Florida ranks 3rd in Jewish population behind guess who?

    Ha Ha Ha Ha Don't make me laugh. You come up with a youtube video to counter my statement? Answer me truthfully have you ever in person heard someone shout White Power in a crowd?
    BTW I took my boat in 2 Trump boat parades and never saw a Nazi flag or heard the words White Power or anything even close. Did see a couple of boat loads of African Americans, I'm surprised folks weren't shouting racial slurs at them LOL.

    I know you’re being facetious but be careful, the anti-science crew will probably agree with you.

    I'd be willing to bet you are wrong. How many Gator games have you been to where a fan was carried out on a stretcher? I'd be willing to bet a fair percentage of those were heart attacks. I had to take nitroglycerin during the Overtime of the 1998 Tennessee game. Thought I was having a heart attack.

    There have been so many false statements and claims in this thread it is hard to tell a joke from an actual lie.

    I have heard it yelled in Stamford Bridge[5] (soccer stadium in London) more times than I’ve ever heard it in America[2].

    So because there are more Jewish people in the top 3 states that’s somehow justification for antisemitism? 1 incident is 1 too many. This is not an example of more population means more opportunities, so it makes sense. More incidents means there are likely more antisemitic people. More Jewish people does not automatically mean there will be more antisemitic people as well but that appears to be the case.

    Anti-Semitic attacks are up all over the country. There has not been one particular group or one individual event driving the increases, though the past several years has certainly made bigotry and hatred common place and acceptable out in the open for a large percentage of our population.

    Antisemitic Incidents Set All-Time High in US in 2021

    Incidents can be way up, while still being uncommon. Rhetoric consumes us.
