    Default Jewish Allies Call Trump’s Dinner With Antisemites a Breaking Point

    Supporters who looked past the former president’s admirers in bigoted corners of the far right, and his own use of antisemitic tropes, now are drawing a line. “He legitimizes Jew hatred and Jew haters,” says one. “And this scares me.”

    Not all Republican leaders have spoken out, but Jewish Republicans are slowly peeling away from a former president who, for years, insisted he had no ties to the bigoted far right, but refused to repudiate it. Jewish figures and organizations that have stood by Mr. Trump, from Mr. Klein’s group to the pro-Trump commentator Ben Shapiro to Mr. Trump’s own former ambassador to Israel and onetime bankruptcy lawyer, David M. Friedman, have all spoken out since the dinner.

    For Jews, the concern extends far beyond a single meal at Mar-a-Lago, though that dinner has become a touchstone, especially for Jewish Republicans.

    Side Show Don is rapidly losing his entertainment value.
    This illegal illegitimate regime that runs America is at fault...not me.... they do not represent me and I have long objected to their crimes against humanity.

    For American Jewry, the debate since the dinner has brought into focus what may be the most discomfiting moment in U.S. history in a half-century or more.

    “The normalization of antisemitism is here,” said Jonathan Greenblatt, chief executive of the Anti-Defamation League.


    And House Republican leaders say they will reinstate Representatives Marjorie Taylor Greene, Republican of Georgia, and Paul Gosar, Republican of Arizona, to committees from which they were jettisoned by Democrats in part for their antisemitic comments or associating with white supremacists like Mr. Fuentes.

    “The level of antisemitism being expressed, antisemitic acts at a very elevated level, and the acceptability of antisemitism — it is all creating an environment which is, thank God, unusual for the United States, and it has to be nipped in the bud.
    “If we have to have a choice between being dead and pitied, and being alive with a bad image, we’d rather be alive and have the bad image.”

    — Golda Meir

    The Democratic party is full of anti-Semites, the Squad being the most obvious examples.

    Anti-Semitism has a history in the Democratic Party

    Wonder if they wish they could explain away their past as a problem with words.

    First, two wrongs don't make a right.

    Second, I don't equate junior House Representatives with POTUS. They only speak for their district. POTUS speaks for the entire United States. Equating them is as stupid as those who equate Greta Thunberg with POTUS and other world leaders.

    Lastly, bigotry is wrong. It's also inefficient since, to make a better USA, the nation needs everyone operating at their best.
    God bless America and those who defend our Constitution.

    The so called Progressive Left is full of anti-Semites, very similar to the Corbyn's Labour Party before he was shown the door.
