On Saturday night, President Donald Trump served up a buffet of anti-Semitic tropes during his speech before the Israeli American Council advocacy group in Florida. He played on the dangerous anti-Semitic theme of Jews having dual loyalty to the United States and another country, when he said,"They don't love Israel enough."
Dean ObeidallahHe then invoked the slur that Jews are hyper-focused on money, telling the crowd that to protect their money they will vote for him -- falsely claiming that 2020 Democratic Presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren's proposed"wealth tax" will take"100% of your wealth away." He added,"You're not going to vote for the wealth tax... you're going to be my biggest supporters because you'll be out of business in about 15 minutes.
Opinion It must stop!
Opinion Dean twists everything. He has no credibility. Trump did not say anything anti-semitic. We have all read what he said and it was taken out of context again. Warren is getting desperate, she is falling in the polls.
Opinion Only partial quotes and all out of context. His comments about the wealth tax is spot on, it has zero to do with being Jewish and everything to do with anyone who has a business and earned their wealth. Your organization is failing because you can't tell the full truth.
Opinion Waiting on that same energy that they had when they thought Dems were doing it
Opinion It’s hilarious that you are so scared of Trump that you would be worried that he is trying to woo Jewish voters. He was telling them the truth and you can’t stand it.
Opinion Looks like & ComedyCentral have officially merged.
Opinion La nación que reconozca a Israel como estado, es acojida y protegida por el Dios poderoso es promesa de Dios.
Opinion Rabbi Shmuley Boteach, who said he attended the speech, praised it as “one of the most pro-Israel speeches ever delivered by an American president.”
Opinion Your track record does not speak very well of you. I find this very hard to believe. I'm going to listen to his speech and read the transcript myself determine if what you say is true. But I doubt it...

SethAbramson Opinion I would not say any of these are anti-semitic, but are def. extremely insensitive. Bordering on anti-semitism and thoroughly stupid.
Opinion American people should understand and see what goes around them . And see what Trump is doing and dealing with Israel.
