I don't get this. Trump is essentially pandering to Jews, telling them he'll take care of them better than his opponent, and somehow that makes him the anti-Semite? The guy whose daughter converted to Judaism, whose grandkids are Jewish? What am I missing here, other than some frog pussies yelling "Orange Man Bad!" for the umpteenth time?

You are missing what your preferred candidate actually said.

Do explain.

Defendant Donald criticized Jewish voters for mostly voting 'for the enemy.' "On September 19, speaking at the annual conference of the conservative Israeli-American Council, the former president raised the possibility of his defeat by Kamala Harris in the November 5 election. According to him, "The Jewish people would really have a lot to do with that if that happens, because at 40% [of support for him], that means 60% of the people are voting for the enemy." According to him, his defeat would mean the end of Israel's existence "within two years.""

The guy whose daughter converted to Judaism, whose grandkids are Jewish?

The defence of 'some of my best friends are Jewish' is an old one. At the very least Defendant Donald has a complicated history with Jews. On the one hand, his daughter Ivanka converted to Orthodox Judaism before marrying Jared Kushner, and he’s spoken fondly about having Jewish grandchildren just as you say. On the other, some of Trump’s supporters have links to the anti-Semitic far right movement known as alt-right, and he’s a favorite of prominent white supremacist David Duke. And [from the link] Halie Soifer, president of the progressive Jewish Democratic Council of America, says in this current instance that "He's trafficking antisemitism. He is antisemitic according to the international definition of the word, by scapegoating all Jews for his eventual defeat, regardless of their political affiliation. It's incredibly dangerous because many right-wing extremists in this country listen to him and are inspired by him."

Nothing anti-Semitic about it, robot.

Some J3ws support Trump while other J3ws oppose him.

Most of those that oppose him are in control of the same deep state that’s oppressing the civilian J3ws in Israel which are opposing the Zionist regime.

His win would give him the power and leverage to prevent that from happening since it’s the same cabal/deep state controlling our political swamp.

You're just regurgitating msm propaganda. Don't forget that you are a robot ...

You should ask your master to double check your programming.

Please check back where I quoted "He's trafficking antisemitism. He is antisemitic according to the international definition of the word, by scapegoating all Jews for his eventual defeat... "

Some J3ws support Trump while other J3ws oppose him.

then read the bit "...regardless of their political affiliation."

And spell JEws correctly, otherwise you look deliberately disrespectful.

You implied it, robot. Deflection noted.

And robots don't have the authority to make corrective demands. Hurry and tell your masters to double check your programming, it's malfunctioning.

reply

You implied it,

No; I made it explicit, please check back where the reasoning from a prominent Jew was made clear in defining matters.

What makes this person a "prominent" Jew? Because he's the president of some Jewish club? So what? It's still one man's opinion.

I'd love to see Jewish influence in my country severely curtailed. They've been a pox on the U.S.A. for over a century now. But Trump's words and actions regarding Jews and Israel are nothing but ingratiating and supportive. You have to be horribly disingenuous to claim otherwise.

And this gets back to most every one of the lunatic claims about Trump's supposedly fascist, evil intentions. Why didn't he follow through on them when he was President? What's the answer for that? Real fascists, real authoritarians would have seized power when first given the opportunity. If Trump's the next Moustache Man, where were the boxcars 5 years ago? Hell, he doesn't even keep the Jews out of his country clubs!

Observable realty is completely at odds with the assertions of anyone, including you apparently, who believes Trump, while a bombastic public figure, is anything other than a firm believer in the multicultural experiment.

As president of the Jewish Democratic Council of America One suspects that he is both more prominent and, dare I say it, more Jewish than tvfan - who can't even spell 'jew' respectfully.

At best Defendant Donald is a hypocrite. At worst an anti-semite, for the reasons already given.

It is certainly true that Defendant Donald's opponents have their own project fear rhetoric, but then so does Trump. However one reason could be that in his first term he was largely unprepared to win and needed a second term to build on things not finished; he is better prepared now, what with the inspiration of Project 25, to which Vance wrote a glowing foreward and no fear of standing again.

You have no answer, then. Tye reason Trump didn't go dictator 8 years ago is that he's not an authoritarian. All claims to the contrary are nothing more than the spasms of a stunted intellect. "Because he wasn't prepared to be a dictator?" That's so retarded.

Persons like you and the self-appointed guardians of Jewish honor every day prove the axiom that an anti-Semite isn't one who dispises Jews, but is one whom the Jew despises.

reply

Please see my, er, answer just above. You mean nothing that you will accept.
he's not an authoritarian

Something many, after reading his intentions if elected, and remembering his past actions, may not agree with.

Persons like you...

... People who read the views of Jews on the way Trump will blame them all for any defeat you mean? When, according to the international definition of the word, by so scapegoating all Jews for his eventual defeat, regardless of their political affiliation Defendant Donald is an anti-Semite? As you are, at least judging by your words here? As a fellow-traveller. one can see your urge to defend him.
and the self-appointed guardians of Jewish honor every day prove the axiom that an anti-Semite isn't one who dispises (sic) Jews, but is one whom the Jew despises.

Which nonsense just goes to show the quality of your 'axioms'.

Ivanka's children are not Jewish.
