Israel doesn’t control Trump or the US any more than Jews control banks or media

Trump let Bibi drag him into Iran.’

I realize this is a single sentence but I’m so tired of the deeply misleading simplicity with which it is routinely written over and over. And I’m not going to link to the specific article this time inasmuch as this nonsense has become standardized across media and social media while pushing – deliberately or not – dangerous antisemitic tropes.

That Netanyahu pushed Trump into Iran is not because the US is under the control of Israel, AIPAC or other connected entities. The primary reason is that Trump is not competent who’s misspent life has been to get a quick score off of others promising him success.

And it is more than a mistaken or misleading statement but is extending antisemitic tropes which go back across many centuries which are now particularly popular among modern antisemites and anti-Israel zealots. And, no, I’m not accusing all who continue to repeat this canard as either violent or, necessarily, being directly antisemitic…though too many, in fact, certainly are.

Those who aren’t, however, need to think before they write or speak.

But whether with direct intent or not, this repeated and false claim has helped surge violent antisemitism in the West from the US to the UK, Australia…and further. And such additional ‘help’ is neither needed nor appreciated.

From the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh, to Bondi Beach in Australia and in Michigan; where another indoctrinate – I think this one was connected to Lebanon – literally drove his car into a large synagogue during the day where 100 young children were present.

He had his car in the school hallway with guns and explosives and a clear intent to push a mass murder of preschoolers. Fortunately, his car didn’t operate as he’d expected in a school hallway and the synagogue had armed guards who confronted and stopped him.

So very thank full the synagogue employed highly competent armed guards. It is so very tragic the synagogue HAS to employ full time armed guards

Last year, a single antisemitic, anti-Israel sociopath broke into the Jewish Governor of Pennsylvania’s Governor Mansion with the governor, Josh Shapiro, and his family already in bed following the first Passover Seder.
