Here is the one hundred forty-second article in our Republicans on Parade series, featuring individuals who personify what the Republican Party has become. Today\u2019s honoree is Republican Nazi terrorist, Robert Bowers. He is so honored for his use of Republican hate to murder Jews, because he blames them for the caravan<\/a>.<\/font><\/p>\n The synagogue in the Squirrel Hill section of Pittsburgh where 11 people were killed and six were wounded on Saturday, including four police officers, typically has police guarding its worship services on the holiest Jewish holidays\u2014but not for a normal Saturday morning service. President Trump, upon arriving in Indianapolis Saturday afternoon, confirmed that the shootings took place at \u201ca baby-naming ceremony at a sacred house of worship.\u201d Police sources told<\/a> the local CBS station that the gunman walked in and yelled, \u201cAll Jews must die.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cOn a day like today, the door is open,\u201d the congregation\u2019s immediate past president, Michael Eisenberg, told<\/a> CNN. \u201cIt\u2019s a religious service. You could walk in and out. Only on the high holidays is there a police presence at the entrance.\u201d\u2026<\/p>\n \u2026FBI hate crime statistics<\/a> for 2016, the most recent year available, show that more than half of reported anti-religious hate crimes in the United States were motivated by anti-Semitism. That\u2019s been consistent in recent years, while bias against Muslims, who make up about 1 percent of Americans, was responsible for about a fifth of hate crimes.<\/p>\n And anti-Jewish crime may be rising. The Anti-Defamation League, a century-old advocacy group for Jews and other people targeted by discrimination, found<\/a> that 2017 saw a nearly 60 percent surge in reported anti-Semitic incidents\u2014which came on top of a 35 percent increase the year before….<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Inserted from <The Atlantic<\/a>><\/font><\/p>\n To be fair, Bowers is not a Trump supporter. Trump is not violent enough for him. Nevertheless, Trump and the entire Republican share responsibility, because the atmosphere of hatred and violence they promote empowers people like the MAGA Maniac and Bowers.<\/font><\/p>\n Reverend Al Sharpton<\/a> reflects in how people with differing beliefs should act.<\/font><\/p>\n\n

Jewish people bear the brunt of religious bias in America, even though just two percent of U.S. residents are Jewish.<\/p>\n
