Yeah, they do that. I once witnessed a Jew at work (who was visiting the local office) absolutely lose his shit over a suggestion to meet at <X> church when going out for some kind of non-work activity. He turned red as a goddamn beet and started screeching about how he's not going to any churches and how it's completely out of the question and don't you know I'm Jewish and I'm going to complain... all of that in front of a group of completely bewildered Czechs. Noone suggested actually visiting the church, it was just an easily found landmark to meet near.
Like Fender, I don't know why the school wouldn't just host the PTA meeting, but I don't care.
I don't know if this will boggle your mind, but I get along easily with Jews and like a lot of them individually. I just wish the group, as a whole, would stop taking an axe to this country's way of life.
It really is fascinating to me how some people are incapable of realizing that generalizations aren't absolute, that it's possible to acknowledge exceptions or compartmentalize differing groups within groups
Or that the accuracy of generalizations varies. With a highly insular and tribalist group, - one that also happens to be very relatively small - generalizations have a much higher degree of accuracy.
Because government schools don't teach statistics, so most people don't get how bell curves work. And it goes both ways, not only are there a ton of people who don't understand that statistics have exceptions out on the tails, but there's also a ton who don't understand that those exceptional outliers don't disprove the big bulge in the middle.

How many of you Jew haters would feel comfortable going to, say, a PTA meeting in a synagogue?

A large proportion of Jews actually hate all other Jews
