Donald Trump Launches Blatantly Anti-Semitic Attack Against Hillary Clinton
The Huffington Post ^ | July 2, 2016 | Sam Levine and Sam Stern

Posted on 07/02/2016 4:04:14 PM PDT by Bratch

Donald Trump tweeted a blatantly anti-Semitic image Saturday morning, causing an immediate backlash online and further confirming the Republican nominee is willing to sink to depths well beyond usual, acceptable bounds of politics.

The tweet, posted at roughly 8:30 a.m., featured a picture of Hillary Clinton pasted over a backdrop of $100 bills with a six-pointed star — the Jewish Star of David — next to her face.

“Most Corrupt Candidate Ever!” the star read.

THE HUFFINGTON POST

This is not a dog whistle. It’s not subtle. It is anti-Semitic imagery aimed at a candidate who isn’t even Jewish.

>That doesn’t isn’t a Jewish star. It looks like one of those “attention grabbers” in Microsoft Publisher.<

Bingo! Some snowflake got triggered by a common shape. Oh, the huge manatee!

If Trump had used a Swastika instead of a 6 pointed star, I would be flattered as a Hindu person, because Swastika is a 4000 year old sacred symbol used in Hindu temples. Swastika is a word from Sanskrit language, the classical language of ancient Hindu culture. Hitler stole the ancient sacred Hindu symbol of Swastika and corrupted it’s use by murdering millions of innocent civilians.

So I am confounded why using a 6 pointed star should be an insult to Jews.

Some people just like to complain (whine),it’s as simple as that.

An intelligent Jew would see that red star as just a design choice.

How is that antisemitic?

The star would need to be yellow for me to accept that proposition.

Well, the Nazis forced Jews in Europe to wear yellow six-pointed stars on their clothing to humiliate them. But the real Star of David traditionally is usually light blue, at least in in outline, as it is on the Israeli flag.

So, from this Jewish perspective, I don't see a six-pointed red star as a symbol of Judaism nor the Jewish people.

It's insane for these leftist Huffington Post writers of the posted article to insinuate that this Trump post with a RED six-pointed star has any meaning pertaining to Judaism or antisemitism. They are just doing what lefties do: trying to tar political opponents with the brush of antisemitism (and all other types of (purported) bigotry like racism, sexism; homophobia, Islamophobia, etc.) when the leftists themselves are far and away the most guilty when it comes to hate.

Speaking of that, we all know of several specifically antisemitic incidents in Hillary Clinton's background.

Actually, to me a red Star of David implies to me that Hil is doing all she can to remove the State of Israel from the international scene, and leave behind only a bloody wound where it once stood.

http://spectator.org/64643_when-trump-fought-racists/

“All of this is already old news. But there is a much older “old news” story about Trump that has now resurfaced — a story that paints a highly accurate portrait of the real Donald Trump — the guy who has no time for racism and anti-Semitism and stood up in public to fight both.

The story, linked by a group calling itself Zionists for Trump, was published in the Wall Street Journal — in 1997. It revolves around Trump’s purchase and operation of the famous Mar-a-Largo estate, built in the 1920s by Post Cereal heiress Marjorie Merriweather Post. Trump had recently purchased the sprawling, seaside estate and turned it into a club. This being located in upscale Palm Beach, Florida, there were other prestigious clubs in the area, clubs that catered to the old order of upper crust Palm Beach society. The problem? Quietly, these other clubs had long barred Jews and African Americans — which is to say they practiced a quiet but steely racism.

The Zionists for Trump headline:

How Trump Fought Antisemitism and Racism in Palm Beach Two Decades Ago

The WSJ story that is linked focuses on the battles Trump faced as a new arrival to Palm Beach, including his new competition with the social clubs of the old order. The story, which quotes Abe Foxman, the longtime head of the Anti-Defamation League, says, in part, the following:

Mr. Trump also has resorted to the courts to secure his foothold here, and many residents wince at the attention his legal battles with the town have drawn — to the town in general, and to the admission practices at some of Palm Beach’s older clubs in particular.

…The culture clash began to approach a climax last fall, when Mr. Trump’s lawyer sent members of the town council a copy of the film “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner,” a film that deals with upper-class racism. Mr. Trump then approached the town council about lifting the restrictions that had been placed on the club. He also asked some council members not to vote on the request because their membership in other clubs created a conflict of interest.”

As I noted on the other thread, not antisemitic imagery. Politically, stupid, but who needs voters.

In the camps triangles were used, red were political subversives, for Jews underlaid by a yellow triangle creating a "star" of sorts.

Mogen David Adom, symbol is a red Star of David.

The Demon-c-RAT-ic party has moved so far to the Left that it has also become the mouthpiece of the Radical antisemites as well.

Hard to believe the head of the DNC is a Jewish woman named Wasserman-Schultz and that she supports those that would bar her and eventually kill her...once again, a self-hating Jew.

A way you could fix the graphic is to put a nob (small circle) at the end of each point. This would more properly depict the typical old time Sheriff badge.

Otherwise, choose the standard badge as used by NYC or LA.
