      In 1939, 53% of Americans said "Jews are different and should be restricted." We turned away tens of thousands of Jewish children. #Skittlespic.twitter.com/6IHkSjehhN

      We must discuss the complexities of managing large refugee outflows. But how can anyone compare children to poison?https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/631817420781391872 …

      People telling me that the Jews in WWII were different: everything you hear about today's refugees (and worse) was said about them, too.

      Like this. "They won't assimilate" or "they'll kill you/radicalize your children" WAS said a lot about Jews in WWII.https://twitter.com/JanJohnsonFL/status/778208821286232064 …

      Do Jews go around beheading people? #Muslim refugees are not legal citizens. They don't want to assimilate, they want to take over.

          And the same thing was said about Catholics before it was said about Jews. Most Americans forget about the Know Nothings.

          Please stop defending a group that will not assimilate and want everyone else to do or die. You have #SelectiveOutrage.

          Please stop calling few radicals a "group." Ahmad Khan Rahami was basically Bundy with dark skin and a foreign name.

          Ok. If you're going to cite Breitbart as credible source, irredeemable sounds about right.

          Re Jewish stereotypes: "they want to take over" is one of the classics, and still going strong (from Ford to today's neo-nazis).
