Or the possibility exists that this is more to rally Trump’s base to his defense. He has to support the Jews (which he does — moving the Embassy, putting his Jewish son-in-law who just happens to invest in illegal settlements in Israel in charge of negotiating peace, increasing the aid to Israel while cutting the aid to the Palestinians) but he has to APPEAR to be against them. Because his supporters want him to put the United States first.
When his supporters start to waver and suspect that Trump may not be a US First-er, after all, well, they have to have a way to make it seem like Trump is a “bad” guy who doesn’t have Israel’s back. So, since it is getting harder to mourn all those dead Holocaust victims because we’ve been there and done that many, many times over the last 70 years, now we have a new, fresh crop of Jews to cry over.
The bonus? All of this political pressure will “force” Trump to make some grand gesture to prove he isn’t anti-semitic. Something he’s planned to do all along — like crack down on those pesky Soros conspiracy theories and other stuff, but couldn’t because his base would balk. Now, his supporters will simply claim that Trump is giving in because he is playing the long game — a real 4D chess strategy. Q will pop up to say that Trump is doing this so the “deep state” doesn’t know he’s on to them. And Trump will regain his street cred as a “man of the people” who only wants to MAGA.
It would make a great comedy plot for Hollywood. In real life, though, it is just downright tragic. Even when people can identify the enemy, they still refuse to see the plan when it involves their “hero”. Dems were the same with Obama. Now it is just the Repubs turn to turn a blind eye while their guy does Israel’s dirty work. Same old, same old. As they say, the more things change, the more they stay the same. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
“This accusation took on a whole new relevance in the wake of the attack on the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh on Saturday, in which a white nationalist killed 11 congregants during a baby naming ceremony.”
A “baby naming ceremony”? Sure, it was:

“In the campaign ad that Trump released back on November 5th, 2016, four villains are blamed for the problems the everyday American is facing – which Trump promised to fix as apart of his “make America great again” pitch for the presidency. Those villains were Hillary Clinton, George Soros (financier and philanthropist), Janet Yellen (then Fed Chair) and Lloyd Blankfein (Goldman Sachs CEO). Three out of the four are Jewish.”
WHOSE FAULT IS THAT, that 3 out of the 4 are Yewish? I think Hilary Rosenberg is likely Yewish too, but what’s an extra Yew here or there?
“The book put Bob Woodward in the Trump family’s crosshairs and resulted in an additional anti-Semitism scandal for the Trump clan when Eric Trump, the president’s youngest son, said of some of the claims in the book, that “It’ll mean you sell three extra books, you make three extra shekels.” Using the word “shekel” is a long-standing anti-Semitic trope going back to Judas’ betrayal of Jesus in the New Testament.”
Well, Judas WAS the “keeper of the purse” after all …..that’s why Judas was ticked off when he saw Mary anointing the feet of Jesus with an expensive ointment rather than Judas having the opportunity to sell the ointment and skim some of the profit off the top for himself:
Douay-Rheims Bible: Gospel of St. John – Chapter 12:1-25
Jesus therefore, six days before the pasch, came to Bethania, where Lazarus had been dead, whom Jesus raised to life. And they made him a supper there: and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of them that were at table with him. Mary therefore took a pound of ointment of right spikenard, of great price, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair; and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment. Then one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, he that was about to betray him, said: Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor?
Now he said this, not because he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and having the purse, carried the things that were put therein. Jesus therefore said: Let her alone, that she may keep it against the day of my burial. For the poor you have always with you; but me you have not always. A great multitude therefore of the Jews knew that he was there; and they came, not for Jesus’ sake only, but that they might see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead. But the chief priests thought to kill Lazarus also: Because many of the Jews, by reason of him, went away, and BELIEVED IN JESUS. And on the next day, a great multitude that was to come to the festival day, when they had heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried: Hosanna, blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord, the king of Israel. And Jesus found a young ass, and sat upon it, as it is written: Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold, thy king cometh, sitting on an ass’s colt.
These things his disciples did not know at the first; but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written of him, and that they had done these things to him. The multitude therefore gave testimony, which was with him, when he called Lazarus out of the grave, and raised him from the dead. For which reason also the people came to meet him, because they heard that he had done this miracle. The PHARISEES THEREFORE SAID AMONG THEMSELVES: Do you see that we prevail nothing? behold, the whole world is gone after him. Now there were certain Gentiles among them, who came up to adore on the festival day.
These therefore came to Philip, who was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying: Sir, we would see Jesus. Philip cometh, and telleth Andrew. Again Andrew and Philip told Jesus. But Jesus answered them, saying: The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified. Amen, amen I say to you, unless the grain of wheat falling into the ground die, Itself remaineth alone. But if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world, keepeth it unto life eternal.
