1. Another big danger to us are Self-hating Jews,not Trump
Alan ,   SA   (12.09.18)
2. 'It's all because of Trump'.
tiki ,   belgium   (12.09.18)
No, it isn't!

It's because the Jews of America have forgotten their faith and have become "Americans".

It's because "Tikun Olam" means supporting Israel's enemies by many of their children.

Jew hate has been part of America forever but raises it's ugly head when Jews are weak!

When the Jews of America will find their way back to Judaism and support Israel instead of their enemies....****and follow Trump's lead, open Jew hate will decline.
3. Fact not fiction.
Michael ,   Raanana   (12.09.18)
Objective fact, President Trump is the best friend Israel and the Jewish people have ever had in the White House.
Who moved the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem.
Who promised and did not move, Clinton, Bush and Obama.
Who supports Israel in the United Nations, President Trump.
Obama used the U.N. to attack Israel.
President Trump is sanctioning and pressuring Iran to give up its nuclear program and support of terrorism.
obama gave Iran 150 billion dollars to support Iran's nuclear program and terrorism.
These old holocaust survivors loved FDR who during World War 2 did absolutely nothing to help any Jew survive.
I guess many Jews are just stupid ingrates.
4. Holocaust Survivors Fear Rise of anti-Semitism
Miranda Rose Smith ,   Petach Tikva   (12.09.18)
AntiSemitic incidents, in the U.S., long before Trump was elected, included things much uglier than "a swastika duabed on a wall." Freddy's Fashion Mart, anyone? The Seattle Jewish Federation?
Robert Bowers, may he rot in hell, did not "listen to Trump." He accused Trump of being controlled BY JEWS.
5. My support for Trump is over
(12.09.18)
Agree with survivor in article.

I was at first supportive because he seemed more favorable toward Israel than Obama.

That is over.

I voted a straight democratic ticket last election and will do the same until he is out of office.

His rhetoric inflames, his neo Nazi white nationalist base is deeply troubling.



6. God's got us all
this human ,   Notmdwhumanhands   (12.09.18)
Whether we live or die from old age or by the hand of the treacherously ignorant, none of us mere humans stand worthy beside Him.
7. EXCUSE ME ?
TEL EM STRAIGHT ,   SAFED HONESTY   (12.09.18)
Why blame President Trump for the upsurge of antisemitism in the United States ? antisemitism was rife in the US long before Trump came on to the scene. Take the hine : the Diaspora is over ,finished.
8. There was no antisemitism before Trump
CAPTAIN SARCASTIC ,   SAFED CYNIC HOUSE   (12.09.18)
9. AMERICAN JEWRY
TEL EM STRAIGHT ,   SAFED HONESTY   (12.09.18)
The mistake american jews made,and a big mistake ,was to wrongly assume that antisemitism and antisemitic attacks could not happen there ( in America ).Well it can and it already has, as Pittsburgh demonstrated.
10. Sorry: now we have a country to go to. Let the world rot in!
(12.09.18)
11. what a ridiculously blatant attempt at fearmongering
Cameron   (12.09.18)
12. anti-Semitic attacks will drop when Jews toughen up...
Rafi ,   US   (12.09.18)
and ensure that their tormentors pay a heavy price.

Jewish communities need to organize their own security patrols, teach their kids krav maga....
13. TEACH YOUR KIDS JEW-JITSU
MR CYNIC ,   SAFED HONESTY   (12.10.18)
14. Jews vote Dems, so obviously it's all Trump's fault!
(12.11.18)
