Discussion: No Mention Of Jews In Trump Holocaust Statement Breaks With Tradition

It’s a very polite way of saying, we don’t like you, get lost now.

In general I see no problem with acknowledging the other victims who were systematically targeted by the Nazis. None whatsoever. But this gang has repeatedly come out with anti-Semitic messages and they don’t get the benefit of the by-now nonexistent doubt. Smell test and all that.

“It is impossible to fully fathom the depravity and
 horror inflicted on innocent people by Nazi terror,”

" And since it is impossible … We are not going to waist any time doing it "

Maybe that’s why they released it on Friday afternoon, so Kushner couldn’t take a good look at it.*

Bibi will have no problem.

Trumpp doesn’t care about the Jews, because they don’t vote for him. His constituency is the pro-Israel vote (which does, of course, include many Jewish Americans). Bibi is fine with that.

I respect the question, and it probably would not be a significant issue if not for Trump having tied himself to Bannon and the other anti-semites and white nationalists, many of whom deny the Holocaust ever happened.

I know! What did Jews have to do with the Holocaust? It’s a head scratcher. Also too, if they (meaning those people) would have had guns, it never would have happened!

Not to worry. Guys like Bibi and shlumps like Dennis Prager will start the rehabilitation process out of the view of the alt-right anti-semites.

“If there was a Holocaust, and if people died from it, then I’m sorry. Really. Nobody has sympathy for dead people like I do, whoever they were.”

“Now, let’s talk about me for a change. Can you believe the size of the crowd at my inauguration?”

Cold, but your point is very well made…

Forget about Reagan’s prohibition against criticizing fellow Republicans. Under Trump the eleventh commandment is this: Thou shall have no other victims but Trump. It’s terrible the way I’m being treated by the media!

I think you are right on about this. Would not be at all surprised to see this during his, um, reign.

I’m trying to imagine a speech condemning slavery in America that somehow leaves out African Americans.
