The Jews catch it from all sides. What I've gleaned from regular reading of many blogs is that Jews are hated by much of the left, a lot of the woke who hate religion and right-wing extremist commenters who are in the minority where I read but post really vile ethnic comments about blacks and Jews. It's good to see that many readers condemn such hate.
That SNL sketch was OK. I couldn't get past the premise of the weights/measures as, at the time, the metric system hadn't yet been created. All those men would have known was the Imperial weights/measures.
I'm pretty sure it's true. I really get the feeling that system of laws and respect for such laws are about all that separates us from such behavior here, although it would probably be via a spiral downward rather than an instant change.
That Norm MacDonald tweet struck me as humor. Dark irony is a Jewish speciality in humor and MacDonald nailed it. A shame he’s not here to comment.
That made me wonder if MacDonald was Jewish. He wasn't but I went down the rabbit hole and found this. https://forward.com/fast-forward/475532/norm-macdonalds-gift-to-jewish-humor/
At any rate, sometimes sarcasm and humor can be difficult to detect on the internet.

And I meant to add that I remember as a very young child listening to reruns of The Shadow when my family went out on Sunday car rides.
"Truth be known, the Arabs aren’t an anomaly. Hate and anger are a part of our DNA. It’s who we are."
If you truly believe this David we are truly and royally "forked." (Cleaned it up for your readers).
