'Middle Eastern' man murders Jewish dentist — but police insist suspect is just a 'disgruntled ... customer'

‘The Book of Jews:’ San Diego Human Relations Commissioner Forced to Resign Over Antisemitic Comments

A member of San Diego's Human Relations Commission was forced to step down this week following a furious response to antisemitic comments he proffered at a meeting of the body on July 18, in which he claimed that the Torah instructs Jews to murder Palesti

I lived in S. Diego for 13 years. It’s an antisemitic cesspool. I’ve had about 5 antisemitic incidents happen to me personally in Los Angeles where I grew up. The number was at least three times that in my time there. And is anyone surprised that this person is a progressive? Most of the incidents I experienced involved progressives. Which was surprising because I expected, given its reputation going up, that it would have come from the far right. We still get it from both sides, living there demonstrated to me how much times have changed.

This also mirrored my experiences:

Brown later expressed her shock that only one of the assembled commissioners — Kate Clark, who works for Jewish Family Services — took Raufi to task for his remarks. “It was so unbelievably shocking in the moment — and even more shocking was the silence of every single commissioner and county staff,” she told the San Diego Union-Tribune.

Almost all of the antisemitism I experienced there happened in public. While I can, and did, handle those incidents myself, the most shocking part was, and this is true in L.A. too, every non-Jew, EVERY SINGLE time, say there in silence. These are mostly the same people who would have gone berserk if a black pardon had been called the “n-word.” It really reminds us that, as Jews, we can only rely on ourselves.

San Diego Teachers’ Union Passes Resolution That Rejects Israel’s Legitimacy

The San Diego chapter of the American Federation of Teachers passed a resolution this month rejecting Israel’s legitimacy as a country and accusing the Israeli government of carrying out ethnic cleansing, apartheid, and war crimes against Palestinians.

Can anyone explain why a teachers union would get involved in this at all? There is only one explanation: leftists are antisemites. Period. Hating Jews has become a requirement to be on the left these days. It is now virtuous in their side to bask Jews and pretend that their antisemitism is actually about politics, big merely their racist tendency to see anyone outside of their intersectional coalition as an enemy.

Opinion: ‘Granny flats’ are destroying San Diego neighborhoods

Increases in population density must also consider infrastructure, such as sewer limitations, traffic conditions and water supply.

San Diego is being ruined in the same way as L.A. with tons of new generic boxes replacing older, architecturally interesting, structures. The housing market is inflated because greedy developers are artificially inflating it, not because of a “housing shortage.”The City Council is corrupt and benefiting just as much from these irresponsible policies.

Sign at future San Diego Jewish center vandalized with threatening graffiti

Threatening graffiti was written on a sign announcing the future home of the University of California San Diego Hillel Jewish Center in the United States.

This is very sad, I lived in San Diego for 13 years and still consider it a second home. But, to be very honest, this doesn't surprise me at all. I experienced more (real) antisemitism during my time in San Diego than I had in my entire life previous to living there. It's just reality that outside of LA and New York it's just more common (although I have experienced it in LA too - particularly during my time at USC which has a history of looking the other way at bigotry when it's directed at Jews).
