Well, about accuracy: it is claimed that there is no question of physical safety for Jews. I have heard that it is not very safe to wear a kippa at UC Berkeley at times of pro-Palestinian vigils. There were more than one case of serious beating. V. Hinich
I haven't heard of such cases, and if the report's authors know of them but didn't include them, this would be really scandalous (not to mention the cases themselves that would create a huge uproar). Are you sure this is not just unfounded rumors? Any references?

ReplyDeleteI heard about this a few years
ReplyDeleteago. I doubt I can find the reference, let alone to prove the report authors knew about it.

I'll ask my friend who gave me this reference. He is very well-informed.
