New York Times Columnist: ‘Why Does Donald Trump Keep Dissing Jews?' |
2017-07-10 |
![]() Senator Chuck Schumer writing for Frank Bruni ? His examples include Trump’s "initial, strange silence" about antisemitic attacks and bomb threats earlier this year (most of which turned out to be hoaxes by a Jewish Israeli-American, a fact Bruni omits). He also cites the omission of a specific reference to Jews in a statement on Holocaust Remembrance Day (where the connection to Jews is quite obvious), and visit to Yad Vashem, Israel’s Holocaust memorial, that Bruni deems too short. Oddly, Bruni made no mention of Trump’s visit to the Western Wall in Jerusalem -- the first by any U.S. president in office. There could be no more powerful statement of solidarity with the Jewish people. It was not enough for Frank Bruni. Bruni also slams Trump for declining to visit the Warsaw Ghetto memorial last week on a brief trip to Poland -- though he has to admit, grudgingly, that Ivanka Trump visited the site, and that Trump spoke about the Jewish victims of the Holocaust in his speech in Krasinski Square. |
