New York Times Reporter Jonathan Weisman Retweets Harsh Attacks On Jews

I wonder if Jonathan Weisman has ever studied Talmud? There’s nothing in his twitter feed more shocking than what you will find in the Talmud.

I’m not hurt and upset and discombobulated when Jewish texts contain anti-gentile sentiments. Ever said Aleinu? Why should Jews be upset when gentiles have anti-Jewish sentiments. We’re all competing for survival and for the prosperity of our respectives peoples. Nothing is personal. Life is all about survival and propagating your genes and bringing up kids and helping your people.

SPLC tweets: “NYTimes reporter @jonathanweisman is retweeting antisemitic tweets from Trump supporters and trolls. It’s ugly. We’ve seen it for a while.”

Jonathan Weisman tweets:

* Better to have it in the open. People need to choose sides.

* Don’t worry about me, friend. Just airing the filth.

* Flabbergasted that antisemitism in the Trump voter ranks isn’t getting more attention, at least from the @RJC.

Haaretz:

Jonathan Weisman, deputy editor at the Times’ Washington bureau unleashed hell when he retweeted a Trump supporter (the tweet has since been deleted): 

Weisman spent the next eight hours retweeting missives that he has received throughout the day: 

Finally, Weisman bade farewell to his followers and legions of anti-Semites: 

This was not the first time criticism of Trump by Jewish reporters has resulted in anti-Semitic backlash. On Tuesday, Melania Trump, the wife of the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, suggested that journalist Julia Ioffe “provoked” the anti-Semitic abuse she faced from Trump fans after publishing negative profile about her.
“I don’t control my fans,” Melania said in an interview with DuJour. “But I don’t agree with what they’re doing. I understand what you mean, but there are people out there who maybe went too far. She provoked them.”
Ioffe, who is Jewish, received calls from people playing Hitler speeches, told that she “should be burned in an oven,” “be shot in the head,” and was sent photoshopped images of her in a concentration camp uniform.
