Seth Frantzman, The Algemeiner: Why Were the 7,000 Antisemitic Incidents Under Obama Largely Ignored?
In the last two months, almost 100 Jewish community centers and day schools have been targeted with antisemitic threats. The map of the threats is shocking. It stretches from Maine to Florida, Texas, Colorado, all the way to California and Washington. Despite more than 190 antisemitic incidents, no arrests have been made. These are terrifying times for many, and there is a feeling that antisemitism is reaching a crescendo in the US. The perception is that America has historically been safe and tolerant, but today a rising “wave” of antisemitism may be breaking on its golden door.

WNU Editor: I suspect the trend of antisemitic attacks continued after President Trump elected, and instead of addressing it the federal government was focused elsewhere. Will Pittsburgh now change this focus .... I do not know. Antisemitism is a huge problem in the U.S., and even more so in Europe. And blaming President Trump for this as many in the media have been pushing .... Trump’s Ideology Is Anti-Semitism Without Jews (Jonathan Chait, New Yorker) .... even though President Trump's daughter and grandchildren are Jewish .... is not helping.
Update: I expect more push-back this week .... Trump Allies Reject Link of Rhetoric to Increased Violence (Bloomberg). As to the question .... will the horrific crimes of the past week impact the U.S. midterm elections? My gut says that they will, but not in the manner that the mainstream media is expecting/hoping for. If anything .... they are pushing people towards President Trump in reaction to these events and how they are covered.
I don't remember Obama caring much or coming out as strongly against this violence, as Trump has. But.. Obama was black, and Trump is white. And being white, especially male white, and more so "old, male white" and you are a target to the left wing nuts. My theory: The people who attack Trump the loudest are often guilt driven and project onto him. How else can you explain this anymore? Completely delusional people on the left, blaming everything on him, calling him a Nazi, an idiot, a bigot, the list is verrrry long.. on top they cheer each other on when they make assassination jokes. And to make things worse, they ignore the weaponization of the DOJ/FBI under Hillary CLinton/Obama to oust a duly elected president. Using a fake and discredited dosier to visciously attack him. Brennan for example should just stfu by now, but he keeps on blabbing and accusing him of the wildest things. Why? Because he was part of it and he can only survive this backlash that will happen for sure, if Democrats will take the Senate. But they won't. And the blue wave will not come. I think the red wave instead will come, because patriots from all sides of the country will come together and vote these people out who manipulated the election and then had the indecency to call for an end to civil discourse until they are back in power. They are the ones calling republicans evil. It's unbelievable this hypocrisy. If you vote Democrat in the midterms you really have to look in the mirror and ask yourself who you are. Someone who nods along, and accept all this outrageous behaviour, or someone who thinks for him/herself. Just watch one, just one, of Trump's rallies. Unity. Jobs. America. How can you not be for that? How can you keep falling for this false narrative of a dictator, a tyrant? How can you accept this behaviour by CNN anchors? Vote Red, stay classy! :)
ReplyDeleteMany, many "false flag" incidents included.
ReplyDeleteNot sure what you mean by that...care to explain? (also, please add proof)
ReplyDeleteI'm just watching the white house press briefing.. you can only be for this despicable behaviour of the media - viciously attacking Trump and putting blame on him - if you are deep, deep in the left and completely heartless. It's so sad to watch what has become of this nation thanks to the likes of CNN and MSNBC. But that's what you get when 90% of the media is left and they keep sing-sanging themselves into this state of constant outrage. They do not think anymore.

ReplyDeleteI agree. With that said, while based upon we are observing it may appear that a so called red wave is coming, we cannot "know" until after the election. I will add as I have before these people undercut a very important and very meticulous diplomatic process with Russia that may have led to a reasonable pathway to ending Cold War 2 or, at the very least, ramping down tensions. They did all of this for no good reason except for what appears to be strictly petty partisan political reasons.

ReplyDeletestop being so stupid
Obama as a black man knows full well what hate and violence are about...you simply want to show what bias can go on when O. has not been the president for two years
"Obama calls on Americans 'to fight the rise of anti-Semitism' after synagogue shooting"--an earlier shooting
"
please do not make statements out of sheer ignorance or hate
Great. ..calling me stupid and ignorant. And I was the one telling you two years ago about the importance about due process and evidence. You were the one with the pitch fork. You were the one calling Putin a traitor. You will never wake up. I give up on you. I'm sorry, Fred. I did try.
