Trump loves American Jews and Israel — until he doesn't…
American Jews who continue to support Trump and the GOP might take a cue from the experiences of Italian Jews under fascism. Of course, everyone is a tool for Trump, and his pro-Israel politics were always less about getting the Jewish vote than securing the Christian one: his real prize. That’s why he worked in a compliment to evangelicals, one of his most important constituencies, alongside his remarks last week that could be considered anti-Jewish. "Another day, another Trump rant about Jews," wrote The Atlantic’s Yair Rosenberg, who warned that philosemitism (seeming support for Jews) can easily flip into antisemitism when convenient. (MSNBC)

** (THIS ARTICLE WAS WRITTEN OCTOBER 5, 2020 but the relevance for me is that ANY involvement with Trump by Jewish Donors, makes me wonder what might have happened had they truly inspected TRUMP’S views on JEWS, and considered TRUMPS true DISCRIMINATION regarding anyone BUT himself!)
I am an American, who among the many wonders of my life happen to be a Gay Man, a Jewish Man, a Father, a Retired Professional within a myriad of Jewish Communities. I fight FOR equality, fairness, justice, and fight AGAINST Anti-Semitism, Homophobia, Racism, Misogyny, Islamophobia, Hate. Many wealthy Jews of Berlin and of Rome, thought their money was a safe haven from the Fascists, and they were safe until Hitler and Mussolini had other plans. Many Americans foolishly thought that Jared being Jewish, and Ivanka converting to Judaism, having Jewish Grandchildren, would have softened TRUMPS anti-Semitism, it hasn’t! TRUMP remains dangerous, in my opinion, because he THRILLS, EXCITES, MOTIVATES, some of the vilest citizens of this nation to ACT UPON THEIR HATE!
