Donald Trump Isn’t Hitler, Jewish Republican Supporters Say After Muslim Controversy

Different groups have different interests. That is the whole Torah. Everything else is commentary. Go and study.

If Donald Trump backs down from his proposed immigration ban on Muslims, he may gain a few Jewish votes but he’ll lose just as many Jewish votes and a massive amount of gentile votes.

Donald Trump Isn’t Hitler, Jewish Republican Supporters Say After Muslim Controversy

Joel Leyden, 56, is by all accounts an avid Donald Trump supporter. The international media consultant and journalist, who splits his time between New York and Israel, has even started a Facebook page called “Jews 4 Trump,” which has more than 7,000 likes, along with a Twitter handle that has more than 1,300 followers.

“He’s done a fantastic job. The man is a marketing genius,” Leyden said during a telephone interview this week.

But for Leyden and many other Jewish-Americans, the Republican presidential front-runner’s recent remarks about Muslims echoes the earliest days of Nazi propaganda in 20th century Germany. The controversy could jeopardize Trump’s following in the Jewish community, a small but promising voting bloc for the GOP.

“[Trump] does not have a racist bone in his body. I believe he really means well,” Leyden insisted. “But he is doing some things almost in a reckless manner.”

Trump has made a number of incendiary statements along the campaign trail about Hispanics and women. But Trump’s campaign press release Monday “calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country’s representatives can figure out what is going on” struck outrage among people of all races and religions around the world. And his refusal to call Jerusalem Israel’s undivided capital at the Republican Jewish Coalition’s presidential forum last week offended Jewish voters in the U.S. even further.

Frank Ross comments: I don’t undestand the Jewish people for condeming #DONALDTRUMP? He would be there for them if the Muslim Terrorist start HACKING THEIR HEADS OFF!
