Trump Supporters Flooded Me With Anti-Semitic Taunts & Death Threats Yesterday

I'm 25 and Jewish. And never once in those 25 years have I personally experienced Anti-Semitism. Until yesterday.

I wasn't ignorant. I knew the atrocities of the past, knew Jews were still targets of many, but I never experienced it. I grew up in a wealthy suburb of Atlanta. There were three to five Jewish kids in all of my public school classes, so not only did I never experience Anti-Semitism, but I also never experienced the unsettling feeling of being "the other."

I grew up surrounded by a thriving and supportive community of Jews who mixed in without any discord with the religious majorities of our city. Literally the most disconcerting thing to happen to me up until yesterday was when a girl in my dorm at the University of Georgia asked completely innocently if I "spoke Jewish." She wasn't being hateful – she just didn't know. She was embarrassed and apologetic when I said the language was called Hebrew.

But then yesterday Trump tweeted a graphic using the Star of David; the caption inside read: "Most Corrupt Candidate Ever."

Trump quickly took down the tweet and replaced it the exact same image but with a circle pasted on top of the Star of David. Look closely at the two images: you can still see the points in the second one.
