    You might find the Jewish populations of various cities, expressed as
    a percentage of total population, of interest:

    <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_population_by_city>
    Click on the "% of Jews out of total population" column heading to
    sort by percent.

    "Nearly all these key centers of Jewish settlement typically include
    national or regional capitals with high standards of living, advanced infrastructure supporting higher education and technology sectors, and extensive transnational connections."

    "New York City is home to the largest Jewish community outside of
    Israel. In 2011, according to the UJA-Federation of New York, the five
    boroughs of New York City proper was home to 1,086,000 Jews,
    representing 13% of the city's population. In 2023, 960,000 Jews live
    in the city, nearly half of them live in Brooklyn."

    Ignoring cities in Israel:
    New York City 10.8%
    Miami 8.7%
    Philadelphia 6.8%
    Boston 5.1%
    San Francisco 5.0%
    etc Less than 5%

    Also interesting is that Jews represent only 0.2% of the world
    population:

    Roger, please don't show that you've never been in a fight either. If you know how to fight, it isn't a matter of perfect balance but observation
    and response. 5 years after my concussion I hosptalized a man who started
    a fight with me because I asked him to hold down his shouting love for
    Obama. Even I can't believe the crying and tears from that guy when I had backed up three times and told him not to do that as he swung at me. And
    he was nearly my height and outweighed me by 30 lbs.

    And at that time I still had rails all over the house to keep from
    falling down! After a bout at middle weight, my Uncle often needed to
    recover for up to 6 months. My father was dying from emphasyma and he
    knocked 3, 30 somethings down on the ground with three punches. None of
    them so much as dared to try again.

    I expect such comments from Krygowski who is a coward, but I don't expect them from you.


    You’re living in a fantasy world if you expect folks to believe a 70/80
    year old recovering from concussion, would be able to fight, or frankly
    pose a threat!

    Admittedly I’m younger and have a “solid build” but I don’t see personal

    I think it's very unlikely that I'd be attacked again, but like RBT's

    No kidding...Now tommy invents a fantasy story of hospitalizing someone.
    If that were true, do you think tommy would have waited ten years to
    tell us about it?

    Tom waited 6 years to warn the world about the alleged dangers of
    carbon fiber bicycles. Tom's accident was in 2010:

    05/14/2010 <https://groups.google.com/g/rec.bicycles.tech/c/Sgfdk0T4HlI/m/htJl6zQSimgJ> "My CARBON fork collapsed about three months ago and planted me face
    first onto the asphalt. The helmet never even touched the ground. The
    injuries caused are just beginning to clear up."

    Tom's warnings were in 2016 and were posted to at least 3 different
    bicycle forums. This one is the best because Tom claims that the
    accident happened to "my friend Tom Kunich (who was also riding a full
    carbon fiber Colnago C-40) crashed on the downhill." It also includes
    an email exchange with Colnago's legal council.

    (July 10, 2016)
    "Danger From Carbon Fiber Bikes" <https://www.twospoke.com/threads/danger-from-carbon-fiber-bikes.17594/>
    "On the way back to Castro Valley, my friend Tom Kunich (who was also
