>>If I had to make a bet, I'd say that there are more people who some people would call anti-Semites among Trump's supporters than there are among those of his opponent.

10 years ago, if somebody desecrated a Jewish cemetery you could safely imagine a culprit matching the favorite caricature of a Trump voter, often mentally disturbed or just genuinely nasty.

However, things have changed and these days when anti-Semitism moves from muttering to actual attacks or bullying, it's usually by the liberal camp, as observed by Santorum and Oren.

If these cemetery desecrations do turn out to be the work of some white feral, by default he will be deemed a Trump supporter and the media will go to town.

However, that cemetery adjoins a black neighborhood with unemployment and drug problems now. If the culprits are from that community, hopefully it will be seen not as a hate crime but the devil making work for idle hands, with responsibility to include those who decimated working class jobs if people are determined to fix the blame rather than the problem. Trump. of course, will proclaim that he intends to get them into factories and out of Jewish cemeteries.

I don't think it will be anti-Semitic Muslims- too random, too early, too much to lose.

The phoned-in bomb threats are another issue. I'm imagining some bored entitled middle class or 1% scion getting their jollies by creating a furor. The bomb hoaxes are all across the country, requiring planning and organization that exceeds the malice of the caricature Trump voter IMHO.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us.
"
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
