"SNIP.....
President Trump told a conference of American Jews Saturday night that he did not have to worry about getting their votes, because they would cast ballots with business interests in mind, the Times of Israel reports.
The comments, made during a speech to the Israeli American council, were quickly derided as anti-Semitic.
Said Trump: You have to vote for me, you have no choice. Youre not going to vote for Pocahontas, I can tell you that.
He added: Youre not going to vote for the wealth tax. Lets take 100 percent of your wealth away. No, no. Even if you dont like me and some of you dont, some of you I dont like at all actually and youre going to be my biggest supporters because youll be out of business in about 15 minutes.
......SNIP"

(53,956 posts)Shhhh...it's a trigger for some; not the actual anti-Semitism, the mention of it.
What this asshole doesn't know (or understand), along with many people, is Israel, while important to many an American Jew, is not our top issue, in many cases, it doesn't even rank in the top ten of our concerns. Poll after poll has shown this, yet it doesn't' sink in for anti-Semites and the perpetually stupid.
I hope people understand this man is an anti-Semite. In understanding this SIMPLE fucking fact, maybe they will also realize making comments about "members of my family", "I support Israel", and "I support/vote for Jewish candidates" doesn't mean they aren't or can't be anti-Semites!
