Here’s the thing. You can’t be a partial anti-semite. You begin with proposing “a shutdown on Muslims” and end up joyfully repeating Nazi-era rhetoric about evil Jews. A couple of years ago, this same road took Bibi right to “Hitler was not that much to blame for the Holocaust.”

Does anyone still believe all these ‘accidents’ keep happening to the Trump campaign are random in nature? Retweeting actual neo-nazis, nazi imagery, and so on. And they keep telling us with a straight face that it wasn’t on purpose.
Reminds me of The Onion’s greatest headline.

To me everything was clear when he first failed to repudiate the KKK guy. But some people still need proof.
I’m very pessimistic as to whether at the debate on Monday moderators will ask either about this or about the debacle with his charitable fund. “Charity begins at home” has found a whole new meaning.

Nope. They are deliberate–and yet the media still can’t bring themselves to call the campaign and Trump out.
Meanwhile I’m grappling with Stein supporters who insist on bleating out “Yeah, Trump’s bad, but Hillary is worse!!”
Jesus wept.

Every time I see an interview with Stein I wonder if she’s trolling. Things she says are outlandish.

He said something like Hitler really didn’t want to kill the jews; it was the Iranians that peer-pressured the poor guy into doing so.

SB, it’s not connected to Iranians.
Israel used to have relatively good relations with Iran before the Islamic revolution, some Israelis worked in Iran and immigrating Jews were even brought to Israel via Iran:
“From 1951 to 1952, Operation Ezra and Nehemiah airlifted between 120,000 and 130,000 Iraqi Jews to Israel via Iran and Cyprus. The massive emigration of Iraqi Jews was among the most climactic events of the Jewish exodus from Arab and Muslim countries.”
Even today one may read in Israeli press how people of Iran don’t hate us, that the hatred coming from there is totalitarian government’s propaganda. I have my doubts since being taught from kindergarten to hate Israel could not not affect people.
Nobody writes that Palestinians don’t hate us, that it’s all their government. Obviously.
Btw, if you missed, I recommended Tuvia’s “Alone Among Jews” in the last Link post. He is a Haredi Israeli Jew who left religion and Israel. Many years later he returned and conducted interviews with everybody: very Right wing and very left wing Jews, Palestinians, Druze, NGO and Red Cross workers, etc. Of course, he has his biases, but he acknowledges them and most of the book is reports of interviews, not any analysis of Tuvia.

During an address Tuesday to delegates at the World Zionist Congress in Jerusalem, Netanyahu posited that the Nazi fuehrer did not initially intend to annihilate the Jews, but rather sought to expel them from Europe. According to the prime minister’s version of the events, Hitler changed his mind after meeting with Husseini — who was grand mufti of Jerusalem from 1921 to 1948, and president of the Supreme Muslim Council from 1922 to 1937 — in Berlin near the end of 1941.
“Hitler didn’t want to exterminate the Jews at the time [of the meeting between the mufti and the Nazi leader]. He wanted to expel the Jews,” Netanyahu said. “And Haj Amin al-Husseini went to Hitler and said, ‘If you expel them, they’ll all come here [to mandatory Palestine],’” continued the prime minister.
“‘So what should I do with them?’ He [Hitler] asked,” according to Netanyahu. “He [Husseini] said, ‘Burn them.’”
Netanyahu was speaking in the context of enduring Palestinian accusations to the effect that Israel is seeking to take control of the Temple Mount in Jerusalem; the mufti was one of the first to peddle such allegations against Jews in Mandatory Palestine. The charges have been fueling a recent wave of attacks against Israelis in and around Jerusalem. Israel has repeatedly denied allegations that it wishes to change the status quo on the Mount, which houses the Al-Aqsa Mosque and is holy to both Jews and Muslims. As per the status quo, Jews may visit the Temple Mount but not pray there.
