Before you say “well this is just a minor crime,” pause and think for a second.

I know there's a lot going on in the world, right now, but those of us who aren't Jewish need to be calling out antisemitism everywhere it happens, every time, without fail. Letting that hateful bullshit slide only further enables its spread. Don't let it go unchallenged.
