> The board’s five Jewish members — Peskin, Ronen, Melgar, Preston and Rafael Mandelman — in October received antisemitic postcards at their homes. Peskin said multiple supervisors have received as many as four more antisemitic letters or postcards since then.

Is this recent incident with Garry connected at all with the antisemetic postcards delivered last year? I haven't been following this and thus don't know what Garry's issue with the supervisors is.

If not: This is scummy writing to connect his admittedly poor-taste comments to something worse.

What does being Jewish have to do with any of this and why was it brought up in the article?

Being Jewish isn’t some sort of shield that gives you special rights over anyone else.

Because if you write something that gives nazis glee and they weaponize it against their Jewish opponents, it should give you pause.

It was brought up because they are receiving explicitly antisemitic content from the same people who loved and weaponized Tan's tweet.

Why is this consideration not given to any other religion?

>>whatwh+ff
I would give this consideration to anyone who is receiving borderline threatening, discriminatory language from an upset mob.

A better question to ask yourself is why Jewish people seem to continually end up in this situation: on the receiving end of antisemitic abuse.

Political stuff pisses people off, but people who are pissed at Jew can always just trot out the antisemitic and dehumanizing statements... Such threatening comments have proved credible enough of the time to make the person on the receiving end really second guess about their safety.
