ANYONE CAN READ PROPHECY.

ANYONE CAN DO IT.

Anyone can read the Bible or the Prophets. Anyone can see analogies between scripture and modern times.  I am just anyone.

Nahum was one of the 12 Prophets. He lived and prophesied after Jonah, another of the 12. Nahum foresaw the tremendous fall of Nineveh and the torturous Assyrians.

In The Story of Jonah, which proceeds the prophecy of Nahum, Jonah was loath to rescue the Assyrian people of Nineveh by warning them of G-d's proclaimed judgment and their impending doom for their evil ways. Jonah feared that G-d would forgive the Assyrians; and later they would return to their true evil ways, and ravage Israel. They ultimately did.

I propose an analogy to their prophecies and modern Washington DC.  First, here are the connections to the verses below from the Book of Nahum.

Nineveh is what Trump calls the Washington DC swamp.  Trump is the "horseman" and Hillary Clinton is the "harlot." The "families" are the powerful Clinton political dynasty and the Obama and Deep State conspirators. They will all be "slain" and "stumbling over their bodies" as Nahum prophesied.

Here are the versus from Chapter III of the Prophecy of Nahum to which I am referring: 

"1 Woe to the city of blood; it is all lies, full of robbery; the prey departs not.

2 The sound of the scourge..and the sound of the noise of the wheels and the galloping horses and the bounding chariots.

3 The horseman raises himself and the blade of the sword and the burnished spear and the many slain-yea, the heaps of corpses. There is no end to the bodies, and they shall stumble over their bodies.

4 Because of the many harlotries of the harlot, charming and enchanting, who delivers nations with her harlotries, and families with her enchantments.

5 Behold! I am against you, says the Lord of Hosts, and I will uncover your skirts upon your face-and I will show the nations your nakedness, and the kingdoms your shame.

6 And I will cast detestable things upon you and make you vile, and I will make you like dung.

7 And it shall come to pass that whoever sees you shall wander away from you, and he shall say, "Nineveh has been plundered." Who will console her? Whence shall I seek comforters for you?"

The question is why? Even if one thought my analogy was plausible, let alone sane, it raises critical questions; Why would G-d raze the Clinton's and the Deep State? Is G-d trying to teach the Left a lesson?  Is G-d a deplorable? LOL, that's absurd.  Is G-d doing it for America's sake?

Perhaps G-d is doing it for America's sake because America is for Israel's sake.

Book of Nahum, Chapter II, V3.
"For the Lord has restored the pride of Jacob as the pride of Israel, for the emptiers have emptied them out and destroyed their branches."

There is a larger context to this.  That context is both scriptural and historical.  Here is that as succinctly as I can make it.

The conquerors of ancient Israel, including the Assyrians, drove the Twelve Tribes of the out of Israel. A long tempest scattered the Jews around the word.  Many found harbor in Europe, but the storm came ashore and reached deep inland: Sending Jews to new and old homes. Half of them went to their eternal home.

A good sum found safe harbor and made a home in America. For those Jews, it may have seemed as though our Exodus was over; we had finally found Liberty; and the land flowed with the milk & honey which prosperity brings.

Before the Messiah comes, the 12 Tribes will return and The Temple will re-appear.  Israel will be united.  Israel's and the Jewish people's greatest strength is found in Unity with one another and G-d's Torah.

The Land (Eretz) Israel, Northern and Southern Israel, Samaria, Judea, Jerusalem and all of Israel may be about to be unified for the first time since the Kingdom of David.  Even the Golan, which was once home to the biblical city of “Golan in Bashan,” (Deuteronomy 4:43, Joshua 21:27), an area that was assigned to the tribe of Manasseh (Joshua 13:29-31), has been united with the Land, returned after a dispute with Syria that is as old as the days of the Maccabees.

Israel's unification is coming just as anti-Semitism, as recently the Last Day of Passover this year, is driving the diaspora of Jews home - to Israel.

I know it seems preposterous that a man with such character flaws as Trump could be playing a role, however, even the Great King David sinned and possessed major flaws.  But G-d worked through David despite his imperfections.  Is America not a great Nation too?

America made a modern Israel possible. And America protected the Jews for nearly 300 years and Israel for 70 years.  But G-d isn't done. Israel is not unified. The Tribes are still coming home.

Evil forces conspired to strengthen Israel's enemy Iran. And when Trump stepped forward to challenge Israel's giant enemy, evil forces conspired to defeat Trump.

Like David, Trump stood up to fight the great and powerful Goliath, against seemingly insurmountable odds.

I believe G-d is blessing and protecting  Trump because Trump is blessing Israel. And G-d is cursing those who cursed Israel.

Iran, Obama and many in the United Nations cursed Israel. But those evil forces failed to calculate the Covenant G-d made with Israel. Those evil forces are no match for the strength of G-d's shield.  The Swamp is recieving judgment.

Nineveh was a great City; 3 days walk across. Such is the swamp of Washington D.C.  The Assyrians were powerful, ruthless and lustful. Such are the Clinton's.

Nineveh did fall.  And if my analogy holds, so will those evil forces who sought to overthrow the man who blessed Israel.

TRUMP IS FIXING OBAMA.

P.S. There is a connection between this post and the message in my post about an experience this Passover.

IDENTITY IS ONE THING. UNITY IS ANOTHER

IDENTITY IS ONE THING. UNITY IS ANOTHER.

There is a lot of talk about how people identify themselves. People identify in the context of gender, on the political spectrum, racially, by nationality, culturally, and religiously,

An interesting thing about Jews is that when we speak of our Jewish identity, we can be speaking of identity in religious terms, cultural terms, and even in terms of our nationality. In terms of nationality, while we may be referring to whether we are of Ashkenazi or Sephardic decent we recognize that Jews also have an historical connection to Eretz (the Land of) Israel before the Diaspora. Even the question of where we fall on the political spectrum has some correlation to whether we identify with Orthodox or more Liberal Reform Judaism.

The complex interpretation of what being Jewish means is perhaps why some say "if you ask 5 Jews you'll get 17 opinions."

But there is one major thing all Jews can and should agree on. It is that our strength comes from UNITY, and our "revolutionary" message of ONE G-d. One timeless, spaceless and supremely empathetic G-d.

At this time of year when we retell the Story of the Exodus as we count the Omer, the number of days from the Passover until we received the Ten Commandments, marked by the holiday of Shavuot, it was ENOUGH to be UNITED at the base of Mount Sinai. DAYENU.

Non-religious secular Jews and religious Jews alike, identify as Jews. And often times, those who identify as Jews find that "many of their best friends are Jews." But with this observation comes two important questions.

Is it enough to identify as Jewish and to have Jewish friends, to maintain the Jewish people? And if we fail to maintain the Jewish people what is there to identify with? Look, I like a good bagel smear as much as anyone . . . but can we survive on bagels alone?

In my opinion, to maintain the Jewish people we must also maintain the UNITY of the greater Jewish community - in our county, in our country, and around the world, in connection with Eretz Israel!

Identity is one thing. Unity is another. Unity sustains the Jewish people.

That is why I am active in and support the Jewish Federation of Dutchess County.

A PRIVATE PASSOVER CONFESSION

A PRIVATE CONFESSION

Somebody came up to me privately at a Seder this Passover and confessed to me she was genuinely scared about the way our country was treating President Trump and all the lies in the media.

This person who called me to the side at the Seder had been forwarded something I wrote by a mutual friend who they didn't reveal.  So they likely knew I would empathize with and validate their concerns.  But they seemed to be looking for more - and I thought they were looking for me to offer something to relieve their concerns.

I can appreciate her point of view. Many folks on the Right have similar concerns.  It is nearly impossible to avoid the Left's relentless harassment of Trump on CNN, MSN, CBS, ABC, NBC. TIME, NY TIMES, HUFFINGTON POST, POLITICO, and by Hollywood. They have spent 3 years convincing the public that Trump colluded with Russia, among other lies.

If you're Conservative you must be concerned with Conservative views being censored on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and on college campuses.

If you are a Republican or a conservative it is hard not to be distressed by the uber Left policy plans put forth by the Left.

Those on the Left don't tend to understand the Right's positions well. It is certainly not explained on mainstream media. And since many folks on the Left automatically dismiss Conservative organizations like the Daily Wire, Judicial Watch and the ACLJ, they mostly know the Right's position from the perspective of the Left's criticisms.

It's an odd thing about the Left.  It's like they feel victimized by Trump. Many seem to still carry the pain of losing the election.  Yet, they have no sense of what it is like to support the President.  There is NO empathy for Trump supporter - only resentment and ridicule.  You can't even where a "MAGA Hat" without legitimate fear of some form of reprisal.

Most Liberal Democrats have no appreciation for the truth bomb that is going to hit them - Which is that the Hillary Email Scandal and the Russian Collusion Hoax are combined to be the biggest crimes of treason against America since the first known conspiracy to overthrow the American cause for nationhood in 1776.

Thankfully that first conspiracy against a future President and the American cause was exposed in June 1776, just before the British troops waiting in the Harbor off Manhattan landed. The first conspiracy was exposed by John Jay, Philip Livingston and the others who conducted the first major counterintelligence effort known as the Culper Spy Ring.  They saved the Revolution and America right BEFORE the Declaration of Independence was signed.

I find fascinating that that original effort to thwart the future of a great President was also led by ranking NYS politicians.

What is also fascinating is George Washington's take on his Continental Army's situation just before the British troops landed in New York.  Washington wrote to his brother and John Adam's just before that fateful moment. He observed the enormous and overwhelmingly odds AGAINST his Continental army.  Washington's army was terribly "outgunned, outmanned and out planned," to quote a line from the play Hamilton.

AS DISCONCERTING AS THE SITUATION IS TODAY I HAVE FAITH IT WILL WORK OUT.

Here is what is most fascinating to me.  Washington said in his letters to his brother and John Adams that he had faith in the Divine and believed that Providence would turn the tables against British. He was right.  And there was Alexander Hamilton of course.

I have a similar view about the outgunned and outmanned Conservative cause today.  I too have faith in the sacred quality of America and I also believe the Divine will see us through this period.  Otherwise, like my friend who approached me at Passover I confess that I would be scared too.

FAST FORWARD 

EPILOGUE TO PRIOR POST

In Victor Hugo's 1830 classic book, a.k.a. The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Hugo regarded its architects as poets who had liberated man's spirit.

Much of that spirit, and those generations of religiosity, have passed.  The flames released into smoke the spirit that the architects and artisans captured in the wooden roof and spires of Notre Dame.

But there is still a frame and the magnificent Rose Window remaining. Just as encouraging is the outpouring of support to rebuild Notre Dame. 

Much will be asked, said and written about the symbolism and meaning of Notre Dame in the context of an essentially Godless France. 

In the age of multiculturalism, the burning collapse of Notre Dame is the catalyst for a great soul searching process in Europe. It seems almost as though G-d is testing Europe.  Fascinating to watch whether and what rises from the ashes of Notre Dame.

A building, even Notre Dame can be restored.  Resorting Christianity is a greater challenge. Can the former be restored without the later? I suppose it can.  France would have back the architectural tourist attraction and symbolism of an age that has passed.  But will it be living Cathedral or a museum?  Or will Christianity be reborn somehow to repair the damaged hearts caused by so much scandal in the Catholic Church? 

Perhaps in some ironic way, the burning of Notre Dame was needed to awaken Europe.  It all remains to be seen. And we may all be long dead before these questions are answered.

SEE THE GREAT QUESTION IN THE FLAMES OF NOTRE DAME

Is it too soon to ask?  Is it too soon to say?  I don't know.  I just hope is not TOO LATE to see.

TERRIBLY SAD. TREMENDOUSLY SYMBOLIC.

People are crying over the tragic loss of Notre Dame. For some, the tears turned to anger long ago as they watched Churches and Temples across Europe being desecrated and destroyed for years now.

As Notre Dame fell in flames, a GREAT QUESTION AROSE.  But first let me draw an analogy.

In America, when the World Trade Center Twin Towers burned to the ground, there was no question in the hearts' of Americans that NYC would rebuild them. The Islamic Terrorists who sought to destroy the greatest symbol of Western Capitalism would not be allowed to succeed. There was no doubt that those Towers of Capitalism would arise again, because the heart of Capitalism was still beating, and that attack was like a shot of Adrenalin.

Western Civilization and Modernity would not succumb or be defeated. NYC would fight back and rebuild. Mayor Julian, "America's Mayor" -- who today is possibly Donald J Trump's greatest supporter -- would have it no other way!

The WTC would be rebuilt "even better than before."  So it was, and on November 2014 #1 WT reopened.  Which by the way, is probably about the same time Donald J Trump must have made up his mind to run for President because he likely needed about the 8 months between that date and his formal announcement to run for President on June 16, 2015 in order to prepare.

Mayor Julian decided to rebuild America's greatest symbol of American Capitalism.  And Trump decided to run for President to literally rebuild American Capitalism itself in order to "make America great again."

TODAY, THE GREAT QUESTION IS WHETHER THE HEART OF CHRISTIANITY IS STILL BEATING IN EUROPE?

Regardless of the actual physical cause of the fire, it remains to be seen whether the sight of Notre Dame crumbling in flames has provided the adrenalin to revive Catholicism in Europe or whether RELIGION in Europe will be declared dead.  More specifically, Christianity and Judaism, because Muslims are most certainly on a dramatic rise in Europe.

As incredibly ambitious, difficult and expensive as it will be to rebuild Notre Dame, it is even more unfathomable that the Catholic Church can rebuild the religious influences in Europe let alone France that provided the basis for and the will to build Notre Dame. A fire has left Notre Dame in ruins, which is rather fitting since Christianity and it's cousin Judaism are also in ruins in Europe.

Lawyer, Devout Jew, Conservative Columnist and Author Dennis Prager, Founder of Prager University, said this of the tragedy, "I don't know if a worker accident or a radical Muslim set fire to Notre Dame Cathedral (as they have scores of other churches around Europe). In terms of what the fire represented, it doesn't much matter. What matters is the omen: Europe is burning, just as Notre Dame was."

"Two dominant forces in Europe -- secular leftism and Islamism -- sought the end of Christianity and the West."

To some, myself included, this is all part of something "bigger" still.  It is hard enough to stand back from history.  But [this] is something beyond our world of time and space. Such is faith -- that which we can not see.  How appropriate that such events are unfolding as we head into these particular coming Holy Days (Easter and Passover). Coincidence? I think not.

EPILOGUE

Inspired always by Dennis Prager.  Dr. Prager has set out to write a Commentary on the Five Books of Moses.  His first volume is on The Exodus.

I'VE SEEN ENOUGH

I have a question for JEWISH AMERICAN LIBERALS.

From one Jew to another. From one parent and grandparent to another. From one who utters "Never Again!" to another. From one witnessing the vile anti-Semitic floats in Belgian parades to another. From one in horror watching the U.K. descend into 100 monthly anti-Semitic incidents. And from one watching, in disbelief, the rise of anti-Semitism in the U.S. to another. We may not agree on much else, but this outrage we have in common.

A resounding 70%+ majority of American Jewry have backed the Democratic Party. I get that we are for minority rights because and will forever identify as a minority. We were for JFK, but his brand of liberalism is long gone and has actually morphed into modern conservatism. Many Jews still support FDR, because he beat Hitler, even though he had to be dragged into the war by Japan after Europe was lost. And we ignore that it was Republican Ronald Reagan who delivered Soviet Jews from bondage of Anti-Semitic leftist oppression.

The Democratic Party of the 1950s was the party of the underdog, and we're forever for the underdog because of our past and by virtue of our tiny demographic we can relate to the underdog spirit. Our grandparents have been married to the Democratic party since before we were born, and being Democratic was ingrained in us with mother's milk.

But all this was then. This is today. And we have seen more than enough to change allegiances to the Democratic party.

Today is 2019, not the 1950s. And after the devastating failure of the Democratic Party to stand with us as Jews unequivocally against the anti-Semitism of Democratic Congresswoman Omar, we stand in the final hour of a critical decision, depleted of all excuses for political loyalty.

Let's review the reality . . .

At the UN, President Barack Obama, famously called for Israel to return to 1967 Borders.

Obama and Kerry orchestrated resolution #2334, de facto proclaiming most of Israel illegitimately in Jewish hands.

We watched as Obama whispered to French President Sarkozy "...You are sick of him, but I have to work with him every day.", mocking PM Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel.

Obama spent $350,000,000 to interfere in Israel's national election to subvert the democratic process.

On his way out of office, the Democratic POTUS released a whopping $150 Billion to the mullahs of Iran who have a single clearly stated goal; wiping Israel off the map.

We waited in vain for 8 years for Obama to use the words "Jihad" and "Islamic terrorists" when describing Islamic terror attacks against Jews in France and elsewhere.

We watched the spiraling souring of America-Israel relations under Obama's leadership.

I could go on about the let downs. Many Liberal Jews put their hopes in Hillary. When Hillary lost Jews cried and literally sat shiva. Jews vowed Trump was not their President and declared Trump a Nazi, a Russian agent and that he would cause WWIII.

THEN A FUNNY HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO FORUM . . .

President Donald Trump came right out and moved the American Embassy to Jerusalem and acknowledged it as the eternal capital of Israel.

President Trump reaffirmed a record-setting annual budget of $4 Billion to Israel, including a $200M increase in 2019, for the next 10 years for a total of $40 Billion.

President Trump defunded Israel-denying UNRWA.

President Trump defunded murderous Mahmoud Abbas to the tune of $250 Million per year.

Trump's appointee Nikki Haley staunchly defended Israel at the UN, time and time again. Nikki spoke like no one has ever before, against UN's anti-Israel biases & infinite resolutions of condemnation. Trump's envoy to the UN stunned the world with her courage and became a hero to Jewery around the world, not just in the USA.

President Trump stands alone against feckless Europe in ending the disastrous Obama era of Nuclear Appeasement with Iran, undoing the damage done by your favorite ex-President. Trump showed leadership and courage with this unpopular move. Trump's actions may very well have prevent the annihilation of Israel by a nuclear Iran.

In every State of the Union and UN address, you hear President Trump exalt Israel, condemn the Holocaust, and explicitly exclaim the non-negotiated American support for Israel under his administration. Unlike his Democratic predecessor, Trump backed his words with his deeds!

Holocaust Survivors and Orthodox Jews unreservedly embrace the President with warm support and voter presence. Speaking at Trump's commemorations of Jewish events & important dates, celebrating Hanukkah with singing and candle lighting by Trump grandchildren and children, in full view to the world from the White House. First occurrences ever in history!

The Trump Family has a given long-standing personal financial support for Israel. Fred Trump's designation of NY buildings for subsidization of Post-Holocaust Jews is complete with a funded synagogue inside.

In August of 2015, Donald Trump's own private jet carried a critically ill 3-year-old Jewish boy from California to New York for medical treatment, when commercial airline refused to fly him.

We watched the First Daughter, The First observantly Jewish Daughter of the Oval Office (another first in history!) pray at Jerusalem's Wailing Wall, along with her father, the grandfather of this, de facto, First Jewish Family that every Friday night observes Shabbat.

All the while, Liberal Jews of America, continue to bash the man who has never once said anything remotely anti-Semitic. Liberal Jews go as far as partaking in discussions and events that compare Trump to Hitler and the KKK. Liberal Jews sign petitions and echo the cherry-picked sound-bytes of MSNBC's three-year smear campaign.

I voted for Obama. And I did not vote for Trump. I have seen enough to know those votes were a mistake. Mistakes to avoid today:

• It is a mistake to vote for the party of Louis Farrakhan, who only months ago called Jews "termites"?
• A mistake to support a party with popular politicians that announce that Jews have dual loyalty, the oldest most vilifying anti-Semitic charge of genocidal racism.

• A mistake to support the party that can't remove a repeatedly outspoken rabid anti-Semite from membership in the Foreign Affairs Committee, which sets policy with Israel and its friendly neighbors.

• A mistake to support the party that dilutes and shoves its unhinged pre-Holocaust brand of anti-Semitism under the table, unable to pass a simple resolution against their hate of Jews.

• A mistake to support marchers lead by anti-Israel activists Linda Sarsour and Tamika Mallory, women who rub shoulders with Farrakhan & Al Sharpton, men who proclaim Jewish children to be "Satanic.”

• A mistake to support the party of Bernie Sanders, the man who defends Omar's anti-Semitism and Palestinian militancy against Israel's citizens. The same Socialist Sanders who once falsely accused Israel of a 10,000 dead-Palestinians genocide.

• A mistake to support the party that the BDS movement makes it's home in.

• A mistake to support the party that calls it's future Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who praises Jeremy Corbyn, accuses Israel of occupation, and stands in official support of Congresswoman Omar.

• A mistake to support the party whose elected official says “the Jews have "hypnotized the world,” and have bought control of America and who fundraised for two Muslim Brotherhood charities and its affiliates.

• A mistake to support the party with officials who participate as keynote speakers at events for the Muslim Brotherhood affiliated groups IRUSA and CAIR.

• A mistake to support the party whose loyal College Campus Academia ubiquitously advances anti-Israel positions & Israel Apartheid weeks, and writes endless editorial pages against Israel's "aggression". The piously liberal Academia that prevents Israeli speakers from speaking on campuses. The Academia that poisonously convinced Jewish children that bashing Israel does not amount to anti-Semitism.

• A mistake to support the party that embraces Al Sharpton.
  

I support President Trump for standing up against:

• Those who morally equate Israel to terror groups and Islamic countries of horrendous human rights abuses.

• The media's exalt of the Palestinian cause vis-à-vis Hamas terror on Israeli borders and streets.

• Anti-Israel groups like Jewish Voices for Peace, J-Street and George Soros.

• Those who tried to shamelessly to tie the Pittsburgh murders to President Trump and even tried to prevent him from visiting the aftermath.
  

I don't look away or forget some of Trump's awful behaviors.  But I do see them in perspective. By the same token, I haven't forgotten the reasons I didn't vote for Hillary and why I oppose today's Democratic party.  Here are some of those reasons:

1. Hillary Clinton, by her own admission, was mentored by KKK member Senator Byrd. Hillary was photographed and videoed kissing the man while he was alive and proudly eulogizing him at his funeral.

2. When it comes to ending slavery, the KKK, the 1964 Act for Civil Rights aimed to benefit American blacks, the first ever African American Senators and other history, Jim Crow, the Democratic party was on the wrong side, and the Republican party is the party of Lincoln.

3. The Democratic Party is failing Jews. It is is also failing blacks and Asians. It is failing Israel. It speaks of hate not to end hate but to generate hate and division. The psrty labels Republicans and Conservatives as racists, Nazis and white supremacist, when that is the farthest thing from the truth, because they know how repulsive those types of people are to Jews. The Democratic Party divides us by class and gender and pits Americans against one another as they disingenuously position themselves as the champions for victims.

4. Rather than accepting any responsibility for today's problems, the Democratic Party today is the party that blames others for all the problems. The Party has an agenda which runs on three WINGS OF HATE -- "Blame it on the Evangelicals", "Blame it on the Russians" and "Blame it on Trump.” And as of the 2018, the Party is much to cosie with those who "Blame it on the Jews".
   
   The “Wings Of Hate” have been fostered by the daily brainwash of the liberal media. In 2016, the Democratic Party received a total donation of $1,020,816, given by 1,160 employees of the three major broadcast television networks (NBC, CBS, ABC), while the Republican Party received only $142,863 via 193 donations from employees of these same organizations. These media have been 93% biased negatively against Trump.

I've seen enough to know the mainstream media is not objective and has shamefully misled the American people..

I've seen enough to lose faith in government and to believe that there is such a thing as the “Deep State” and that they manipulate us through counterintelligence and propaganda.  

I've seen enough to know that there are evil forces against Jews and Israel and that their power is growing especially in Europe since the refugee crisis that was caused by ISIS. I've seen enough to what caused ISIS and who ended it.

I've seen enough to know that Trump is putting the USA economy, world trade, national security and other significant aspects on a better track. And I've seem how Democrats are thwarting every effort he makes for partisan purposes that are not in our nation's interests.

I've seen enough to reject the Democratic party. And, I've seen enough to support President Trump.

My question for Jewish American Liberals is this: Haven't you seen enough too??

#WALKAWAY
#JEXODUS

P.S. Trump's support of Israel makes him a target.

P.P.S. i have high hopes for peace. See why.

Note: Much of this copy came from an email that was forwarded to me. I do not know the original author. I have made changes and added copy.                                 

TRUMP'S SUPPORT OF ISRAEL MAKES HIM A TARGET

3/25/19 White House
 Trump recognizes the Golan Heights. 

TRUMP IS AN EASY TARGET FOR THOSE WHO ARE AGAINST ISRAEL AND HATE JEWS.

President Trump is without a doubt and by far the greatest supporter of Israel of any President in history.  Therefore, it stands to reason that Israel's enemies hate Trump.

Many of the anti-Israel voices are obvious and direct about their position against Israel.  Just look at what Israel puts up with at the U N. It is easy to appreciate where that puts them concerning Trump's actions -- moving the Embassy, pulling aid to the Palestinian authorities and most recently the Golan. But it doesn't end there.

Israel's enemies aren't only in the U.N.  And their hate isn't reserved for Israel, it extends to Israel's champions.

For nearly 70 years the media has trafficked in false moral equivalences between terrorists and those in Israel defending themselves from terrorism. We should not ignore that the media which has been the most guilty of such anti-Israel biases also are the most Leftist media. CNN is a perfect example, but it is hardly alone.

What distinguishes Trump is his actions.  There have been many leaders who stated support for Israel to gain votes in the USA, but failed Israel through their actions. Most notably Barack Hussein Obama - the President whose first foreign policy action was an "apology tour" in the Middle East. Don't forget that his Secretaries of State were Clinton and Kerry.

I posit that some measure, and it isn't small, of the hatred there is for Trump is strongly connected to the disdain those same individuals and factions have for Israel, and even Jews.  Obvious examples are Ilham Omar and Michigan Representative Rashida Tlaib.  I would also include Senator Bernie Sanders.

HERE IS WHERE IT GETS COMPLICATED . . .

It is politically unacceptable in the USA to be openly anti-Israel. Which presents an interesting dilemma. One can't openly hate Trump because he is a supporter of Israel.  Therefore, such haters must find a proxy issue to hate Trump about.  Trump, unfortunately, makes that all too easy. His position on many issues, his background and his personality, make him an easy target.

Trump revels in being politically incorrect.  He takes that so far as to alienate even moderate Democrats.  In addition, his policies are highly objectionable to Progressive Liberals,  So even if Trump's enemies hate is partially rooted in anti-Zionism or anti-Semitism, that is easily disguised by and clouded in all the other issues the Left has with Trump.

Furthermore,  it is is NOT to say that just because someone is opposed to Trump we can automatically assume they are anti-Semitic!  The connection does NOT run that way.

By the same token, it is fair to say that if one is an adversary of Israel, Trump has more than likely taken them to task at the least.  Trump is one who runs to the fight, and rarely fails to throw a mean counter punch or two.  He is loyal to a fault at times.  Trump never shy's away from standing up for Israel.  He is very willing to use his political capital to support his friend and ally Israel.

Nonetheless, when you look at who some of Trump's most ardent and outspoken critics are, consider there attitude toward Israel. You could not find one BDS activist in the USA who supports Trump.  You could not find one journalist who covers news about Israel in a grossly unfair way to Israel who doesn't treat Trump with similar negative bias. And practically every politician and activist who sees Israel's presence in the West Bank as an occupation and fails to accept Israel's historic right to all of Jerusalem, is a never Trumper as well.

There is a very strong argument that is made that the anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism are closely inter-related.  While the connection is less direct and not nearly as equivalent, I am certainly saying that their is a relationship between anti-Zionism and being a Trump hater.

THE HYPOCRISY IS GREATER THAN THE TRUTH.
