Indiana Synagogue Shooting Stuns Jews In Heartland ‘White Supremacy Country’

[guno]

Trump embolden these "people"

Temple Adath B’nai Israel will be full on Friday night, pews in the small synagogue overflowing with far more than the usual number of worshipers.

It won’t only be Jews at the Shabbat service, either, but Christians, Muslims and others as well because the people of Evansville, Indiana have been pouring out to support their small community of Jewish neighbors since a bullet hole was found in a Hebrew school classroom window Tuesday.

Shaul Magid is a professor of Jewish studies at Indiana University in Bloomington, which is about two hours northeast of Evansville. Southern Indiana “is definitely white man’s country, that’s for sure,” he told Haaretz. The area was a center for the Ku Klux Klan in the 1950s and ‘60s, Magid said, with one of the racist group’s grand wizards calling a nearby town home. “It’s white supremacy country.”

"The shot to the Hebrew school classroom window was low caliber, likely a pellet or BB gun, according to the rabbi."

Wow, sounds like a full scale attack.

If these people were even only half as bigoted as you and your black racist PG County ilk, they would have already named schools after him.
