I think we get more calls into South Florida, but you also have to wonder how many incidents occur when people don't call us. |
If invocations are done, they have to be, according to (a 1983) Supreme Court decision, such that they do not advance any particular faith or belief. The reason being, you try and make as many people included as possible so that nobody feels that they're being left out of any particular prayer. |
Not every anti-Semitic incident is a hate crime that can be prosecuted. Not every slur or statement is actually illegal or a crime. What we document are incidents, reports that people give to us that we research and we corroborate. |
We are deeply concerned about these statistics. We are very upset Florida shows an increase in anti-Semitic incidents. |
