6/ Telling me about it weeks later, she was still dumbfounded at their actions. Why would Trumpers be chanting at American citizens "Go home," much less Orthodox Jewish citizens? Was it flat-out hatred of the unfamiliar? Hard-right anti-Semitism? What the hell?

7/ "You sure it wasn't Palestinian protesters?" I asked. No, I was told - definitely Trump and MAGA flags being brandished.
At any rate, I have searched the media for reports on this (which I am VERY certain DID take place, because these folks do not make stuff up), and have found nothing.

8/ Maybe the congregation fears publicity, given what its people have been through already, especially now that the candidate of those bigots is in power. I would not blame them.

9/ But I think this event should have been publicized by media, BEFORE the election. In fact, maybe it should have been a national story. But journalism appears to be dead in the United States, which really helps the worst people in the world.

10/ At any rate, if anyone heard or saw anything about this, I'd really like to know the details.
Because this should not simply slip down the memory hole. These bastards need to be exposed.
