After Poway rabbi thanks Trump, can we now dispense with the canard that Trump is anti-Semitic?
American Thinker ^ | 04/29/2019 | Monica Showalter

For years, President Trump's opponents on the Left have attempted to pin the label of anti-Semitism on him.  In the wake of the vile attack on the Poway synagogue, the response from Rabbi Yishoel Goldstein, who was wounded in the attack, tells a different story:

Rabbi Goldstein on Trump calling him following the shooting: "He spoke about his love of peace and Judaism and Israel and he was just so comforting that I’m really grateful to our president for taking the time and making that effort to share with us his comfort and consolation" pic.twitter.com/Bu31UvZomI— Ryan Saavedra (@RealSaavedra) April 29, 2019

As I was in my house, I received a personal phone call from our president, Donald Trump. I was amazed to answer the phone, and, say, the secretary of the White House is calling, and he spent close to ten, 15 minutes with me on the phone. And, it's the first time I've ever spoken to a president of the United States of America. He shared with the condolences on behalf of the United States of America. And we spoke about the moment of silence. And he spoke about his love of peace and Judaism and Israel and he was just so comforting that I'm really grateful to our president for taking the time and making that effort to share with us his comfort and consolation.

Does that sound like the kind of phone call that comes from an anti-Semite?  The sort of person who would run a sick 'Der Sturmer'–style Jews-are-dogs cartoon in a newspaper?  The sort of phone call that Rep. Ilhan Omar would be capable of making?

One would think his actions in Israel would have already dispensed of that canard. Journalism is dead and buried at this point.

No, the press has gone full Goebbels.

They will continue to spread the same like, just like they did after the Mueller report.

RE: One would think his actions in Israel would have already dispensed of that canard

Why would an anti-semite :

1) Allow his daughter to marry a Jew.

2) Allow his daughter to CONVERT to Judaism.

3) Allow his grandchildren to be brought up in the Jewish faith.

4) Support Israel’s desire to have Jerusalem recognized as its real capital by MOVING the US embassy to this city?

5) Provide military technology to Israel to defend herself?

The Left is much more anti-Semitic than the Right.
The Left is also the side accusing others of being Nazis.

It’s true that President Trump is not anti Semitic, but one shouldn’t need the testimony of a wise rabbi to figure that out.

Clue: Every vile adjective used on President Trump since day one has been nothing but a politically motivated smear.

With this one simple trick, the fake news becomes a lot easier to decipher.

And why would a man who hates immigrants marry two of them?

The accusation that President Trump is an ANTISEMITE is utterly FOOLISH & just as FALSE as all the other LOONY accusations, that the idiot left has made against the POTUS & many members of his administration for more than 2 years.

What makes this particular accusation LUDICROUS is that President’s own daughter, his son-in-law and his grandchildren ARE Jewish.

Comment: Imo, what needs doing is to rewrite the libel & slander statutes, such that all that is necessary to punish false accusers is that their accusations be proven to be groundless or FALSE & to remove the protections afforded false accusers, when the accused is “a public figure”.
Also, publishing/broadcasting slander/libel by the press should also be actionable at civil law.
(Members of the public media are no more deserving of special protection than any other member of the general public is. = Uttering false information should be actionable for damages, if the utterer knew or should have known that the “reporting” was FALSE & without merit)

Yours, TMN78247

The Left will never stop saying Trump is sexist, homophobic, racist, etc.

I heard on Fox the rabbi praising Trump and wondered how the networks and other cable stations will splice and dice that up so no one knows that Trump was kind and comforting to the Jewish community.

Donald Trump is AntiSemitic because he is Donald Trump and not a SocialDemocrat and for no other reason.

You forgot: 7) Move his Jewish son in law into his close circle of advisors.

People are kind of dumb and susceptible to propaganda. I had to convince a Jewish friend that Breitbart news WAS NOT founded by NAZIs as one of her liberal Jewish friends told her.

My local Chabad is about 95% conservative Trump supporters. Most Orthodox Jews have the same voting pattern. I would be shocked if any anti-Trump statements come from any members of the shul.
