Trump and his crew and the Religious Right and the Alt-right ginned up all of this hatred to anyone they deem to be 'the other' like Hispanics, Blacks, we non-republicans, etc. Now the innocent Jewish people are paying the price of all of the free floating hatred. It attaches to us all. 
On another note--
My Rabbi friend is a professor at a Rabbinical college AND in charge of their security  --  AND, he helped out with the security of the Catholic seminary on an adjoining campus. He told me after I spent years of helping him with my electronic knowledge. He was/is terrific. I was pleased but knowing him I would have expected nothing less, he was that kind of guy as were all of the many Jews that I knew. 
I would return to help them if I weren't so disabled. 
I had four coursees in Catholic Philosophy and Jewish Philosophy is EQUALLY as fascinating. They both give a strung moral compass.  I wanted to take a course in Jewish Philosophy at their college but that never materialized.
