Oakland’s Temple Sinai bulks up security after mayoral candidate’s screed

After Oakland mayoral candidate Peter Y. Liu issued an antisemitic screed in response to being left out of an election forum at Temple Sinai, security is being upgraded for Monday evening’s event.

Rabbi Jacqueline Mates-Muchin said synagogue security had already been tight, but that additional measures were implemented after the incident.

“It’s hard,” she said. “Anytime we come up against this kind of antisemitism, it’s scary.”  ...

On Sept. 4, Liu sent an email calling Jews “evil,” “hateful” and “corrupt” to dozens of Bay Area journalists, news organizations, Jewish community contacts and fellow candidates.

Later, according to the Oaklandside, he wrote in another mass email that he would “notify all veteran organizations” about his complaints and then wrote: “I am not afraid of jail. I long overcame fear of getting killed, I was a combat veteran. If I die, I die on righteous grounds. I fear no enemies at this point.”  ...

“These s**tty Jews are once against [sic] trying to disrespect the voters of Oakland in rigging the election process by promoting a few candidates they’ve handpicked to be in front of Jews controlled media,” Liu wrote. “I am sick of these corrupt Jews and their media allies deceiving the public.”

"If all men are created equal, that is final. If they are endowed with inalienable rights, that is final. If governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, that is final. No advance, no progress can be made beyond these propositions. If anyone wishes to deny their truth or their soundness, the only direction in which he can proceed historically is not forward, but backward toward the time when there was no equality, no rights of the individual, no rule of the people."    -Calvin Coolidge

He rails against homosexuals, too. His anti-Jewish blathering is just plain weird.
