37. It's going to be the same motive.

Maybe this is a good opportunity to pause and look at what underlies the hate crimes committed against Jewish people.

MAGA? They hate Jewish people.

Pranksters? Why this particular target and use of calculated symbolism? They hate Jewish people.

Pro-Palestinian "activists"? How does committing a religious hate crime against a Jewish fraternity in upstate New York help the people in Gaza? They hate Jewish people.

It's always the same motive, no matter how you dress it up.
