Just north of the highway that runs through Southfield, Mich., is Congregation Shaarey Zedek, a soaring modern synagogue that has been an anchor for Jewish life in suburban Detroit since the 1960s. On the other side of the road stands Umma, a Muslim congregation that opened this year and regularly attracts hundreds to Friday afternoon prayers.
The two congregations, both worried about the hate that has permeated the national political atmosphere, share a quiet but persistent fear that they could be victims of hate crimes at any time.
Good old Cenk. I laughed and laughed and laughed at his reaction to Hillary’s loss.
What’s amazing about the people who are offended is that most of them are not faking it. They genuinely have convinced themselves that if we complain about giving hundreds of billions of dollars to Israel, that we really are being antisemitic. That somehow that’s a trope.
