Donald Trump Vows to Confront Anti-Semitism During Holocaust Remembrance Remarks

President Donald Trump vowed during delivery of remarks on Holocaust Remembrance Day that he would obliterate anti-Semitism whenever he could, wherever he found it.

Donald Trump’s daughter Ivanka converted to Judaism when she married Jared Kushner, who is now the president’s senior adviser at the White House.

“This is my pledge to you,” he said, in widely reported remarks. “We will confront anti-Semitism, we will stamp out prejudice, we will condemn hatred, we will bear witness and we will act.”

He also scorned those who denied the Holocaust.

And he — once again — issued a promise to stand by Israel.

“As president of the United States, I will always stand with the Jewish people and I will always stand with our great friend and partner, the state of Israel,” Trump said.

From the Hill:

“The president’s annual address is a staple of the museum’s programming around Yom Hashoah — Holocaust Remembrance Day in Israel.

“But the event took on added meaning this year with Trump’s presentation.

“Trump has faced criticism in his presidency for not doing enough to stamp out anti-Semitic attacks in America, which appeared to rise earlier this year amid headline-grabbing attacks on Jewish cemeteries.

“The administration has also been criticized for a lack of sensitivity on the Holocaust and anti-semitism. Most recently, White House spokesman Sean Spicer apologized after comparing Adolf Hitler to Syrian President Bashar Assad, and referring to concentration camps as Holocaust Centers.

“Trump and those close to him have bristled at the criticism, and the president has spoken out forcefully against anti-Semitism.

“The president’s daughter Ivanka converted to Judaism when she married Jared Kushner, who is now Trump’s senior adviser at the White House.

“Trump took a forceful tone at times on Monday, and focused some of his remarks on Israel.

“Speaking to the packed audience, Trump celebrated Israel as ‘an eternal monument to the undying strength of the Jewish people,’ recognized World War II veterans in the audience who liberated survivors and gave a long tribute to Elie Weisel, a prominent Holocaust survivor and author who became the face of the memorial effort.

“‘You tell of these living nightmares,’ Trump said to survivors in the audience, ‘because despite your great pain, you believe in Elie’s famous plea that for the dead and the living, we must bear witness.

“‘That is why we are here today — to remember and to bear witness, to make sure that humanity never ever forgets the Nazi’s massacre.’

“Trump promised to stand behind the Jewish people and keep the memory of the Holocaust alive despite opposition from those who try to stamp it out of history books.

“‘Even today, there are those who want to forget the past. Worse still, there are even those filled with such hate, total hate, that they want to erase the Holocaust from history. Those who deny the Holocaust are an accomplice to this horrible evil, and we’ll never be silent, we just won’t, in the face of evil again,’ he said.

“And he warned that anti-Semitism is still present in the world, noting incidents on college campuses and recent “threats against Jewish citizens” as well as terror attacks and those who ‘threaten Israel with total and complete destruction,’ a reference to Iran.”

Too much “voving,” too little deeds. Islam in its core is antisemitic as hell. So “whenever (Trump) could (fight it)” it is right there before his presidential nose. I doubt that he will notice, however, as long as McMaster serves as his “advisor.”

That’s for him to figure this out. For start, dumping McMaster and appointing Pamela Geller or Robert Spencer as experts on antisemitism and Islam would do.

Good, President Trump deserves a paragraph in the Bible, he actually is doing something good and measurable.
Then there is the satanic o’bimbo who was given awards for doing nothing and being a no body.

Yes, but was it sexually fulfilling for both you and your clients? There is more to life than money.

It is worth noting that Trump made his fortune navigating the treacherous NYC commercial real estate market. There, of all places, if he had had any problems interacting with Jewish folks, it would have become prominent news long before now. In addition to his son-in-law being Jewish and his daughter converting to the faith, it is a sad testament that, at this late date, 72 years after the end of WWII and the Holocaust, there are still pockets of fervent hatred for Jews. Has the world learned nothing?
