Elite Jews, like gentile elites, hate Donald Trump because Trump is a nationalist and the elites are globalists with no particular loyalty to nation-states.
Normal Jews are busy with work, family and communal obligations. They don’t have much time to devote to thinking about policy.
Donald Trump seems to have dominated this year’s White House Hanukkah Party.
“Just as earlier in the day at the event commemorating the 150th anniversary of the 13th amendment ending slavery, Obama’s remarks seemed to offer a subtle rebuke to Republican frontrunner Donald Trump’s call to ban Muslims from entering the U.S.,” reports the White House print pool reporter:
The blessing over the menorah was led by Rabbi Sid Schwarz who was even more explicit in his criticism of Trump’s calls to ban Muslim immigrants. Schwarz said both of his parents fled Europe ahead of the Nazis. His father fled at 16 and then returned to Europe five years later to fight the Nazis, he said.
“At a time when we hear the most shameful expressions of bigotry in our public discourse from prominent personalities we must rededicate ourselves to the principles of tolerance and justice, something that you Mr. President have modeled throughout your presidency,” said Schwarz.
