The mass murder in Pittsburgh, the deadliest attack on Jews in US history, comes from a swamp of hatred that percolated online.<\/b>
\nIn 2012, someone spray-painted swastikas and other graffiti on two synagogues in Bangor, Maine, not far from where I was born. In 2013, someone drew swastikas on a Cape Cod synagogue in Hyannis, not far from where my mom lives. When I was in high school, there used to be a middle-aged man in Prescott, Arizona, who would hold a sign downtown blaming \u201cthe Jews\u201d for a variety of crimes: global banking conspiracies, 9\/11, the USS Liberty, etc. I always thought these things aren\u2019t really a threat. He\u2019s a crazy guy with a sign, I thought. Yes, he hates the Jews, but he\u2019s just ranting. Yes, there is some graffiti here and there. But the larger picture is that according to the FBI antisemitic incidents accounted for half of religious hate crimes in the US and 11% of all hate crimes in 2016.
