Reply To: Anti-semitism: Republicans vs Democrats

Coffee: I did understand and acknowledge biases. And it was I who combined approve + unsure. I figured most of those “unsure” on both sides KNEW about the incident but didn’t have the nerve to come out and approve. But maybe in the process I am being biased myself, though I figured at least I am being equal to both Rs and Ds.

ubiquitin- I’ve thought this as well about Trumpism. If a voter is willing to go along with his leader and doesn’t condemn antisemitism because he loves his leader so much, can we say his silence is a form of antisemitism because such an outrageous act is given a pass? We have historically cast blame on the German people in a similar vein. I’d say AT LEAST that we couldn’t call such a person an ‘oheiv Yisroel.’ Kal v’chomer on a leader who might hypothetically like the Jewish people but cares about courting antisemetic voters more than sticking up for us publicly.
