There are many reasons why I support Israel and am protective of Jews. But this story will suffice for now.
There is a synagogue across the street from where I grew up. Washington Heights used to be heavily Jewish before its residents climbed up the American Dream ladder and moved out.
My church was kitty corner from my block.
Church? Of course, never graffitied.
Synagogue? Tagged to high heaven.

Addendum:
I told this story to a certain person. She thanked me for stating where I came from. But then averred that "I know Jews are racists." So, yeah.
@Wbtphdjd Or she's conveniently sent it to the memory hole.
@Wbtphdjd Hell, there was a panel in "Maus" where the father talks about "schwartzers", and the protagonist calls him out on it, aghast.
@CLManussier I'm no longer in contact with this person. It was solely online. I'm missing nothing.

WHOA...
Maybe remind this person that ascribing a gwberal trait (positive or negative) to AN ENTIRE GROUP OF PEOPLE is the very definition of racism? #wtf with this BS?
