Our president is to blame for this. We all know it and we need to stop acting like he isn't the impetus.
-
Trump supports Israel though?
-
Ah, I see your flaw. Yeah don't conflate Zionism with Judaism, yeah? He is pro-Zion and is absolutely absolutely absolutely anti-Jew.
-
actually in retrospect I realize a big part of the problem is that he (and his base) promotes taking a big stick to anyone they don’t like. And you’re right that’s an important distinction. Though I’ll mention that anti-semitism long predates trump. To be clear, I hate his guts
-
I tried fitting lots of things into a single tweet and now I’m afraid it makes no sense at all

-
I got you and agree. He's a pied piper for bullies and will happily put every other bully he can get under his tent, including pre-existing ones.

It's time for all politicians and media to grow up & acknowledge they have the power to divide or heal our country. It's time to use your influence to HEAL & bring security and strength to our country. Stop using your highly paid, influential positions for division.

Good point..... It's media job security! Meanwhile, doing a great disservice to the people.

Trump and his mob have to go
-
No, This is what happens when people are focused on blaming the President for everything instead of blaming the real
#antisemites and their vile rhetoric like#LindaSarsur,#Farrakhan or#BDS. They ARE dehumanizing Jews and Israel. Let’s Wake Up and fight the REAL THREAT!!! -
Since we’re listing of antisemites, how about some right wing names like Alex Jones and the Proud Boys?
-
Yes! Let’s identify them all and fight against
#antisemites! Unfortunately hating Jews is tolerated by the extreme left as well as extreme right! But it is not the fault of the President who has Jewish grandchildren. -
As long as he’s endorsing violence openly at his rallies, he’s a part of the problem. It is possible to know and love individuals from a minority, without acting in the general best interest of their people.
-
If you want to fight bigotry then let’s fight those who ARE calling for violence against Jews, who ARE saying that Jews control the government and the banks, who DO call Jews pigs, termites etc. Don’t use this tragedy to further your political views. Help fight ALL antisemites!
