Almost 70% of American Jews, just slightly less than the percentage who always vote Democratic, believe Republicans are anti-Semitic, according to a recent American Jewish Committee poll.
That’s odd. Isn’t the Republican Party the one totally unified in support of Israel? Hasn’t the Trump administration moved aggressively against campus anti-Semitism?
But the AJC poll was nothing compared to a recent email from one of my closest and most brilliant law school friends, who wrote with unfeigned horror of President Trump as “the opening chapter in my American Jewish nightmare saga.” In the “hard core of his support, the rock-solid, rock-brained inhabitants of the ‘Red States,’ ” my friend sees Trump voters as “the SS,” who will be “a mass of armed, violent, encouraged, entitled, enthused pogromists roaming the land.”
With the passing of the second anniversary of the massacre of 11 Sabbath worshippers at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh, it is impossible to argue that there are not violent right-wing anti-Semites in America.
