The obscene effort to shame ‘Trump’s Jews’

Allow me a moment of pride: The hot new criticism of my fellow Jews is that we don’t complain enough.

Really. A host of pundits, concerned about President Trump’s baffling unwillingness to single out neo-Nazis for criticism, are turning to the American Jewish community and pleading: Would it kill you to maybe kvetch a bit?

The idea we haven’t protested is bonkers, but more important, the left’s campaign to get all Jews to publicly denounce Trump has taken a profoundly dangerous and ugly turn. And it needs to stop.

On Tuesday, the Washington Examiner reported that a coalition of left-leaning Jewish organizations have decided to lead by example. The groups had organized a conference call with President Barack Obama each year just before the High Holy Days, but this year, ostensibly because of Trump’s atrocious response to the violence in Charlottesville, their leaders chose to boycott the call.

To be clear, the call was generally a heavily politicized event at which the liberal groups and the liberal president pushed liberal policies under the guise of faith. Indeed, one of the groups is the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism, which (the inside joke goes) has long been split between its political wing and its political wing.

Mr. Trump and Kushner are aligned with the Chabad Jews of New York, and my guess is, the other Jewish groups want NOTING to do with fighting Chabad. Good for our POTUS!

This is one group which the LEFT cannot get to go against Mr. Trump - as Chabad is the baddest of all of the Jewish crime syndicates and nobody in their right mind will challenge them. I predict the "Jewish Question" where it pertains to our President will be finished. Move on to Antifa, so on. Mr Soros knows better than to go down this road.

You are probably more RIGHT than you realize.
I know a thing or two about this topic and Chabad is nothing to mess with.
