I don’t find the shooting of my extended social network to be figments of the Leftist imagination. 

I don’t find graffiti on my local holocaust museum to be a figment.

I don’t take calls for the genocide of my ethnic group to be particularly reassuring. 

Jews make up about 1.8% of the US population. Even a large amount (percent) of anti-semitism against a small population is still a small number. 

Thankfully the nastiness is not a large amount. But it’s more than a footnote, regardless of your focus on the protest-riots. 

The Jewish community was terrified. That fear is currently overshadowed by Covid.
