Not a surprise from a white nationalist but hell why would you be in that audience?

(4,066 posts)Trump is not a friend of any minority. He is only a friend of super-rich WASPs.
To ignore this reality is to put one's self at risk.

(10,185 posts)Interesting story. A group of young Jewish adults frolic at Finzi Continis' rich estate almost oblivious to the antisemitism of creeping facism in pre WWII Italy. In the end, the Nazis capture most of them and prepare to ship them off to the concentration camps.
Good analogy. I thought it might be the enemy of my enemy...Muslims...is my friend. But then you got to wonder why they ignore the obvious Pro-Nazi stance of Trump and his supporters. It's like the chicken chasing after the fox saying kill me too.
My sister-in-law is a one of those uber rich pro Trump Jews. When I point out to her how Trump supports Nazis at every turn, she denies it and claims I'm being overly critical.
Yup Garden of Finzi Continis syndrome. They really believe their money will protect them.

They are quite well off and spend most of their time taking care of friends, family and various folks in need.
Sadly, they are avid Trump supporters and Foxnews Republicans. It's a combination of money and bigotry. Brown folks, most Black folks and even their Chinese neighbors just not pulling their own weight.
After Charlottesville I thought they would wake up...but nothing. Then the slaughter in the Temple...nothing. Their own Temple was burned and painted with swastikas...nothing. No correlation between any of these things and an organized group that has been protected by the Republican party and endorsed by Trump.
Incredible. Chickens meet Fox.

(9,426 posts)is "their leader" why don't they go to Israel and support him? Are they really happy with the response tRump delivered when their synagogue was attacked? Do they approve of the white nationalists who support tRump, and despise Jews and anyone not lily white? The "very fine people on both sides"
include those who despise anyone not purely white, Christian. Adelson should be sent back to Israel, since he obviously does not care for the US.

(17,986 posts)Keep in mind Trump is not a friend to anyone. Trump is for Trump alone. Anyone else can be dumped on, insulted and hated in the blink of an eye.
What is amazing that any Jewish person who spend their lives fighting perceived bigotry actually support the most hateful bigot ever to occupy the WhiteHouse.

(11,885 posts)Promoting their hate for all groups not like themselves, and now we see and hear trump , putin's puppet, doing the same thing. Why is Congress not stopping this by trump and is minions, and held accountable for what they're doing by inciting others by promoting hate, lies, and again propaganda? I sure hope the 2020 election the former gop ( now they are fascists) are all voted out of office for allowing this to happen in this country, and allowing trump to radicalize others to do violence for him.

Why else would one wear Trump's name on his head? Oh, right! The worship of money.
