scroll down please.Mr. trump,1.
Of all the bat guano
crazy stuff you’ve come out with for all these decades, the thing about Jews
who vote Democratic being uninformed or disloyal to Israel and by implication
the US is close to the top of the list.
In the first place, what
in the world do you know about loyalty?
And you’ve against used
the old “Dual Loyalty” ruse. Let me assure you that while most Jews the
world over support the country that calls itself Israel and its status as a
Jewish state, those same Jews are loyal to their own country first.
The monstrous claims
about Israel were followed by your tweets and your little talk to reporters
that carried this nonsense even further. You claimed to be “the Chosen One.”
That was about the China trade war, not the Jews. But you looked skyward
when you said it.
And there was the
ludicrous tweet about how the Israelis love you. Other than the immediate
circle of Netanyahu crazies, that just isn’t true. Oh, and the tweet
about “King of Israel?”
We gave up the royalty
routine after guys like Kings David and Saul and that was the end of it.
Want a biblical reference? Well, let’s
look at the book of Deuteronomy. It’s where “God” tells the Jews if you want a
king, I can do that for you, but restrictions apply. Among them:
He must be one of your
kinsmen, this king you appoint over you — you are forbidden to appoint a
foreigner over you who is not your kinsman. 16 However, he is not to acquire many horses for himself or have the
people return to Egypt to obtain more horses, inasmuch as (god) told you never to go back that way
again. 17 Likewise, he is not to acquire many wives for
himself, so that his heart will not turn away, and he is not to acquire
excessive quantities of silver and gold. (Jewish Publication Society translation, Deut 17:14-20)
Well, don, that kind of
lets you out on several counts.
Jews kind of drifted
into the Democratic Party because in some form it is the closest American
secular organization that comes close to embracing Jewish values.
At latest count there
were about 125 million registered Democrats in this country. There are
4.2 million Jews in America, and that includes men, women, children, those
without government IDs, those gerrymandered into districts that make their
votes meaningless and those too lazy or discouraged to vote even if
qualified. And by no means is every registered Jewish voter a Democrat.
Some don’t think much of
Israel while others embrace the idea and still others who seek refuge from
people like you there.
We have suffered
indignities at the hands of various people for millennia and managed to remain
in place. Well, in placeS. And
you’re not the worst of them. Your concentration camps for Latin Americans
don’t have gas chambers. At least not yet. That we know of. The pogroms against immigrants haven’t
included mass murders. At least not yet.
That we know of.
Bill Clinton -- this
space considers him a crypto Republican -- reminded himself “it’s the economy,
stupid!” With you, also a crypto Republican, but of another sort, we’d
suggest that your sticky note says “it’s morality, stupid.” But there’s a
difference. Clinton know what the word economy means.
1. this space never capitalize the "t" in "trump."
