[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have learned to not wade into inter-Jewish debates. This is clear mind your own business territory. [/quote]

I disagree. Accusing any American Jew of being "a bad Jew" or "not really Jewish" because of their enthusiasm (or lack thereof) for the Government of Israel's actions is itself antisemitic. It plays into old stereotypes of Jews as having dual loyalties.

Since we are supposed to call out antisemitism when we see it, it's good to look at this square in the face and say "That's antisemitic and wrong."[/quote]

You think you are being clever by suggesting Trump is peddling in antisemitic  tropes. How about non-Jews just stay in their lanes?[/quote]

"[b]Trump, who has frequently described American Jews in relation to Israel[/b] and argued that he deserves more political support for having moved the U.S. Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, wrote Sunday: "No President has done more for Israel than I have. Somewhat surprisingly, however, our wonderful Evangelicals are far more appreciative of this than the people of the Jewish faith, especially those living in the U.S."

Jewish organizations swiftly criticized Trump’s comments, which leaned on a trope that American Jews are more loyal to Israel than to the U.S.

"These are dangerous comments at a dangerous time," Anti-Defamation League CEO Jonathan Greenblatt said in an interview Monday with MSNBC. "[b]He has been invoking antisemitic tropes for years about Jewish power, about Jewish greed, about dual loyalty[/b]."
