In the state of California, incidents of anti- semitism jumped by 22% since 2009. California is the state with the most anti-semidic incidents in the country. Examples of what has happened are:
-a man was called a "Jew boy" in an LA public bus and dragged to the front of the bus
-the painting of Swastikas and "Actung! Juden" outside the Jewish Community Center in Riverside
-at a middle school in Los Angeles, a class mocked their teacher chanting "Hitler, Hitler" and drawing Swastikas on their folders and desks
This is a truly sad kind of prejudice I never really heard about but now I realize it is actually more common than one might originally think. It really is an underestimated kind of crime.
