While obviously unjust...the headline sounds about as newsworthy as "ice cream discovered in American grocery store's frozen aisle".
Does anyone have a feel for whether the article is click-bait for the JPost's user demographic? With recent headlines, I'd hope that those folks would already have picked up on America not being any Promised Land of truth & justice.
You may know that. The Jews may know that. But every reminder and corroboration is vitally important.
In my experience, a HUGE proportion of white gentiles don't believe that racism and anti-Semitism exist. Yes, if they vote Dem, they might believe these things exist "in theory." (Maybe they even have a Black Lives Matter sticker.) But almost never in any specific instance. For a specific instance, they'll always find a "logical alternative" to explain the behavior, one that is not racism or anti-Semitism.
You're focusing too much on this specific article.
My point is about this type of coverage in general, even on topics that might seem "solved" or "obvious" to you.
And even this article in the JPost is a useful reference for a JPost reader to use when a white person says "that never happened," which is EXTREMELY common.
Millions of people falsely believing that the earth is flat is not a good reason for the Journal of Astrophysical Research to waste time, pages, or screen real estate running a "The Earth is Not Flat" article. (Admission: I'm so d*mn old that I don't believe performative virtue to be an acceptable substitute for intelligently attempting to fix real-world problems.)
The JPost article is 99% worthless as a rebuttal for "that never happens" denialism - because it has zero cites to original sources. (Or is my AV software erasing a sidebar full of links to supporting government documents?)
I'm not sure what constitutes an "original source" in your eyes. The article quotes several people by name (including the current DA), and refers to specific cases.
