Never heard of him or his website. There sure are a lot of little rats on that ship.

an anti-semitic, fascist party. . . . However, just like the Log Cabin Republicans, there ARE Jewish folks who think DJT IS the Messiah.
I don't get it. . . .

And for the record, I always hear the Log Cabin fools talking about how they want to "change the party from the inside." Yeah right. I wonder how that is working out for them?

I have a Jewish in-law who is adamantly pro Trump in an extended family of mostly Democratic Jews. We all have an unspoken rule not to talk politics around this guy. His overriding issue is Israel; he only supports politicians who are wholeheartedly pro Israel and rabidly anti Muslim (he actually refers to Obama as “Hussein”). Nothing else matters to him. I will never understand how he is willing to embrace fascism here in return for support of a country he’s never even lived in. BTW, his brother is even worse; he was a proud member of the Trump administration.

republicans in my family. My grandfather, a rabid socialist and union organizer during the 1920s & 1930s, would roll over in his grave should ANY of his descendants even consider voting for that "party."

We DO have a few big 'pro-Israel' family members, but fortunately they recognize that Israel is not always perfect. Nonetheless, they always refrain from making any kind of negative remarks about Israel. I know for a fact how disturbed they (WE) are about so many in this country who claim it is a "Christian nation." I find the nutcases who latch onto that notion much more dangerous to democracy than some stray terrorists in the West Bank.

of their movement (not that we're trying to get in), and soon there won't be anyone else to exclude and they'll be the minuscule little movement they are.

And that'll be fine.

They’re going for theocracy, and will not comply with their fantasies.

Who’s going to tell AIPAC that this is what antisemitism looks like and not condemning the human rights shortcomings of the Israeli government?

Is Oz sacred because Trump supports him?
