Politico: ‘In a Time of Trump, Millennial Jews Awaken to Anti-Semitism: A new generation is experiencing an age-old hatred for the first time. But why has the Jewish right looked away?’
This Trump-inspired anti-Semitism sounds horrible. How many Jews have been slaughtered in this wave of hate? Oh, none. Well, how many Jews have been beat up? This article can’t find any examples of that either. If America in 2016 is … Continue reading

Yair Rosenberg: ‘Jackie Walker Can’t Stop Saying Offensive Things About Jews’
I’ve never been offended by anything I have ever heard. What kind of wimp bases an essay on somebody’s ‘offensive’ words? Words are only offensive to those who choose to get offended. Whenever I see an argument based on ‘offense,’ … Continue reading

I believe the author is right that the Overton Window is shifting so that things once impermissable to say in public are now more acceptable. I don’t find euphemisms such as “anti-Semitism” useful. When did you ever hear of anti-Gentilism? … Continue reading

I Love This Jerusalem Post Article On Trump & The Jews
Trump seems to see Jews accurately. “Abe, it’s antisemitism. All my members will be Jewish.” “Donald – that’s antisemitism,” Foxman said. “You don’t know who your members will be.” If that is antisemitism, then antisemitism is hardly a fearful thing. … Continue reading

Trump & The Jewish Question
I thought “The Jewish Question” was whether Jews could be full citizens of gentile countries while retaining their membership in the worldwide nation of Jewry. Rabbi Avi Shafran writes: One needn’t be a supporter of Mr. Trump, though, to recognize … Continue reading
