Birthright – constitution

Debating birthright citizenship is like debating whether women can vote. It's not one of the Constitution's majestic generalities like "equal protection of the laws." There's no ambiguity. It's an on/off switch. The Constitution flatly commands it. Any "debate" is just noise.

He knows the effect

Yes. It doesn't matter what's in his heart, if he has one. The point is that he's deliberately conveying his sympathy with anti-Semitic tropes, which generally go hand in hand with racism. That makes Trump and his allies guilty in what's happening to America. https://t.co/mhdv1a7Dfh

Lying about Pelosi

from Newsmax report on Pelosi’s words: " ‘Collateral damage’ refers to civilians who suffer serious injuries, even death as result of military conflict”

Pelosi used those words at end of riff on climate change

inspired shooter with caravan

This monster was an anti-Semite for a long time. But it appears that he decided to kill Jews now because of the unhinged conspiracy theory pushed by prominent Republicans on Fox News *right after Trump amplified an anti-Semitic conspiracy theory on Twitter.* This is dangerous. https://t.co/HGuOqmaSgx

— Brian Klaas (@brianklaas) October 28, 2018

antisemitism

was a trend

“As the threats increased, as the online abuse grew increasingly vicious, as the defacing of synagogues and community centers with swastikas became more commonplace, the possibility of a violent attack loomed over America’s Jewish communities.” https://t.co/TZssdzy2qo

— Rachel Maddow MSNBC (@maddow) October 28, 2018

why

Search not for logic and reason in murder of Jews. Whatever the proclaimed reason, it is but an excuse. Jews were persecuted and massacred throughout history for being too rich AND too poor, for being capitalist AND socialist, for being too similar AND too different. #Pittsburg

— Dr. Einat Wilf (@EinatWilf) October 27, 2018

The explanation is NOT to be found in what Jews are accused of doing but in the the surrounding society. Rising antisemitism is mark of society in deep crisis, crisis of insecurity, crisis of identity. In an uncertain world, there is no greater certainty than “the Jews did it”.

— Dr. Einat Wilf (@EinatWilf) October 27, 2018
