Title: Trump blamed for USA increase in anti-semitism
Post by Unforgiven on Feb 28th, 2017 at 2:12pm
Trump's divisionist policies are coming home to roost.

The deplorables are flooding out of the basket. Bigots, racists, Islamophobes, and anti-semites are joining forces under the Trump banner.

Anne Frank Center: Anti-Semitism has 'infected' Trump administration

The President has been presented with opportunities to denounce the threats before
(CNN)President Donald Trump spoke out Tuesday against a series of recent threats against Jewish Community Centers and other Jewish institutions, but advocacy groups and political opponents said his remarks did not go far enough and are now urging a more robust federal response.

The Anne Frank Center for Mutual Respect delivered a searing statement late Tuesday morning, accusing the White House of tacitly embracing anti-Semitism with its earlier silence and for failing to specifically cite the Jewish people in its International Holocaust Remembrance Day statement last month.

"The President's sudden acknowledgment is a Band-Aid on the cancer of anti-Semitism that has infected his own administration," the group's executive director, Steven Goldstein, said in a social media post. "(Trump's) statement today is a pathetic asterisk of condescension after weeks in which he and his staff have committed grotesque acts and omissions reflecting anti-Semitism, yet day after day have refused to apologize and correct the record."

The statement continued: "Make no mistake: The anti-Semitism coming out of this administration is the worst we have ever seen from any administration. The White House repeatedly refused to mention Jews in its Holocaust remembrance, and had the audacity to take offense when the world pointed out the ramifications of Holocaust denial."

Trump's comment on Tuesday, delivered after a tour of the National Museum of African American Museum and Culture in Washington, followed bomb threats made against 11 Jewish Community Centers on Monday.

"The anti-Semitic threats targeting our Jewish community and community centers are horrible and are painful and a very sad reminder of the work that still must be done to root out hate and prejudice and evil," Trump said.

The JCC Association of North America said there have now been 69 threats made against 54 locations in 27 states and one Canadian province since early January. In St. Louis, officials at a Jewish cemetery reported on Monday that more than 100 grave sites had been vandalized in the previous week.

The White House denounced the threats Monday evening in a statement.
"Hatred and hate-motivated violence of any kind have no place in a country founded on the promise of individual freedom. The President has made it abundantly clear that these actions are unacceptable," said deputy press secretary Lindsay Walters.

And Ivanka Trump, a convert to Judaism, responded as well Monday night, tweeting that "America is a nation built on the principle of religious tolerance. We must protect our houses of worship & religious centers. #JCC"

Questioned about the Anne Frank Center's criticism, White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer told reporters that he had seen the statement.

"I wish that they had praised the President for his leadership in this area, and I think that hopefully, as time continues to go by, they recognize his commitment to civil rights, to voting rights, to equality for all Americans," he said.
Trump, he added, has been "very forceful in his denunciation" of bigotry.

Pushing for further action
But leading Jewish groups want the administration to do more.
"The president is not just an elected official who administers the country," said Anti-Defamation League CEO Jonathan Greenblatt. "He sets the tone for the nation. And we look to our presidents to do more than just sign bills — we look to them for moral leadership."

Greenblatt suggested that the tone of the presidential campaign had emboldened extremists, noting that the proportion of Americans who hold anti-Semitic attitudes -- about 14%, according to ADL polling -- has remained mostly constant over the past two decades.

"The failure of our elected officials, the failure of political leadership, the failure of our leadership, the failure of our public leaders to step up and say 'enough,' has created a vacuum that extremists have exploited," he said. "And when abuse is allowed, because it's not forthrightly condemned, you see that it spreads like a virus."

On Tuesday, the Simon Wiesenthal Center, a Jewish human rights group, sent a letter to Attorney General Jeff Sessions asking that the Justice Department launch a task force "with the assignment of identifying and capturing the culprit or culprits who seek to terrorize American Jewry through their threats."

The FBI addressed the issue last week, saying in a statement that it was "investigating possible civil rights violations in connection with threats to Jewish Community Centers across the country" and described the matter as an "ongoing" concern...

Exactly. They paint their faces orange and dye their hair. A most convincing disguise, no?

That's not Mr Trump's fault. You people look like Muslims.

Can't you do something about that skin?

antisemitism has been the left's bag for decades. there's some on the right doing it but not comparable with the left's numbers.

I don't think this is correct.

I know lefties claim to hate Israel, but they still eagerly do the bidding of their jewsih masters in their home countries.  They're not acting in their own interests, they're acting in Talmudic interests, implanted into them by conditioning and propaganda.

Many on the right haven't failed to notice that the unholy trinity that undermines their societies (media, academia and finance) is heavily jewish.  The cuck right still cucks for Israel, but like the left, they too are on the wrong side of history. 

Trumps election was a blow to these powers, and they overplayed their hand fighting it, and in doing so, revealed themselves more than they would have liked. 

IF there is an increase in "anti-Semitism" it's limited to more people being aware of, and shining a light on the shadows talmudic jews have been lurking in, while committing crimes against humanity.  Those poor talmuds - can't get away with exploiting the goyim without anyone noticing anymore.  It's anudder shoah!
