    Go on pretending this wave of hate has nothing to do with what your orange messiah is doing to this country.

    You need look no farther than Palestine's glut of illegal, US Funded Settlements to see plenty of murderous hate:

    “Nearly half of Israeli Jews believe in ethnic cleansing, survey finds”
    http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/almost-half-of-israeli-jews-want-ethnic-cleansing-palestinians-wake-up-call-survey-finds-a6919271.html

    EXCERPT “Almost half of Jewish Israelis believe Arabs should be "expelled or transferred" from Israel, a survey has found.

    A study carried out by the Pew Research Centre found that around one in five adults questioned “strongly agreed” with the controversial statement, which amounts to ethnic cleansing under some definitions.

    The Encyclopaedia Britannica describes the act as “attempting to create ethnically homogeneous geographic areas through the deportation or forcible displacement of persons belonging to particular ethnic group”, while a United Nations report in 1993 additionally specified the use of “force or intimidation”.CONTINUED

    Why, because they are Jews? Not good enough. They are not the same folks.

    Dude, what response did you think I was trying to get from you that you turned me in for flamebaiting? Do you always get that way when someone bests you? Last resort, turn them in on false allegations?

    Rabbi Responds to Trump Blaming Synagogue Death Toll on Lack of Security: ‘His Job Was to Comfort Victims, Not to Blame Victims’

    by Tamar Auber | Oct 27th, 2018

    Speaking on CNN on Saturday, Rabbi Joshua Stanton responded to President Donald Trump blaming the death toll in the Pittsburgh synagogue massacre to a lack of security.

    “This is a case where if they had an armed guard inside, they might have been able to stop him immediately,” Trump opined when speaking to reporters hours after the attack. “If they had protection inside, the results would have been far better.”

    Stanton said this on CNN about Trump’s words:

    “The words that I heard from our president today were deeply disappointing. He had one job, to provide comfort for those that were mourning, and instead, his words sounded to me like an advertisement for gun companies… In our tradition that is seen as one of the highest acts of kindness is to be with those who are heartbroken and grieving, and instead, we just heard more empty rhetoric from a person who is already engaged in anti-semitic dog whistles. I was hurt. I was offended, and I was deeply saddened as a human being, a Jewish person, and an American, and a rabbi.”


    Then, referring to Trump’s security remarks, he said it felt like victim blaming. “It felt like victim blaming to me,” Stanton, a rabbi at East End Synagogue said. “I was appalled and I was saddened. His job was to comfort victims. Not to blame victims.”

    How stupid of Trump to blame the victims. The real way to solve the problem is for all the right wing hate to be ended. It is time for these professing Christians of the far right to stop their hate and to respect all people regardless of faith or ethnicity. After all, it is required in their Bible.

    Any MORON who calls Trump a Nazi or a friend of KKK types, obviously doesn't understand how that conflicts greatly with his own daughter being Jewish. Pretty hard to HATE Jews(since you love the KKK) yet hug your Jew daughter every day and your Jew grandchildren. Damn, some Democrats a stupid as ^$^&&@ =). And not to mention he strongly supports Isreal.

    By the way, I'm Jewish and anyone who knew who Trump was before 2016, knows the guy has been a BIG fan of Jewish people for his whole life.

    Israel just wants to be left alone.

    Muslims want Israel to be “driven into the sea”.

    Rethink that. The reality is obvious.

    You mean like when Barack Obama openly race agitated for eight straight years to try and create a race war in this nation and our leftists cheered?

    Actually, ALL hate needs to be ended, but I agree with you that if right wing hate is ended first, left wing hate will die from lack of opposition...

    Will not happen under this administration, but a goal for all future administrations...

    This is so overblown, this kind of insanity and derangement about Obama is not even worth engaging. The ones who want to start a race war are the ones going into houses of worship and gunning down innocent men, women, and children.

    I generally put trolls who can even be amusing on ignore -- as they therefore don't even possess that trait as a redeeming virtue. Bye!

    Yup. Obama was very comfortable with gross anti-Semites.

    Trump promises ‘destruction’ of those seeking the destruction of the Jews

    This may be the strongest statement ever delivered by an American president in support of the Jewish people.

    Yep and it's certainly nothing that Obama would ever have said because everyone knows how he really felt about Jews; and it wasn't pretty.

    Doubtful.

    If your grand utopia were to become reality, and the entire political right were to vanish, the political left would just transfer their hate to those who are less left.

    Well...

    Aside from being perfectly unclear, it totally ignores my point.

    No it doesn't... the fact is that a political right will never vanish, so it's a moot point...

    Are you actually saying that there is no difference in 2018 between a political right and right wing hate??

    Wow... that's certainly transparent.... thanks for that anyway...

    If Israel just wanted to be left alone, it would stop its ethnic cleansing, stop its provocative & illegal Settlement expansionism, stop tormenting Gazans with its criminal Blockade, stop executing Gaza's fishermen and stop targeting children(1).

    Palestine's native residents & Nakba survivors whose homes were stolen simply want a fraction of the $Billions in reparations extracted (and subsequently embezzled) by what Norman Finkelstein called "The Holocaust Industry".


    (1) "Israeli Brigadier General Confirms: Snipers Ordered to Shoot Children"
    http://www.palestinechronicle.com/israeli-brigadier-general-confirms-snipers-ordered-shoot-children/

    EXCERPT "The Israeli snipers who are deployed at the Gaza border deliberately shoot children, under clear and specific orders, top Israeli military official, Brigadier-General Zvika Fogel said in an interview on the Israeli public radio network Kan, last Saturday.

    Many children were shot dead during the Great March of Return, even if they weren’t posing danger to the Israeli soldiers. Thousands were injured and mutilated."CONTINUED
