Machete Attack at NYC Hannukah Event; Anti-Semitic Activity Increasing

Disgusting , glad they caught him. What does Israel and Ilhan Omar have to do with this? Or is that you inserting your own agenda to a tragedy again

 

Hate crimes have risen nation-wide. Since trump became president. Any connection?

Speaking of trump... he is focusing on his own troubles. As usual.

 

Trump's fault.... seriously? LOL.

Tension was rising when Obama was president too. Blame him too?

 

I think you can't blame those Congress people anymore than Trump. It's not right to pass blame for these attacks without an actual call for violence being made and a direct tie.

And I will say that Israel the country is now all Jewish people and they should be critiqued. It is an apartheid state and should be questioned on many of its practices. Also anyone should be able to divest or boycott anything. That's freedom and I think it is more than American to support freedom of speech and allowing for calls for such things. Also AOC, is well, AOC. I don't she even knows what Jewish people are as she didn't know how to use a garbage disposal.

 

FBI data... note that hate crimes went down from 2008 to 2009 and then rose sharply from 2016 to 2017.

Trump really hurt us with his 2008 presidency.

 

I mean look at that graph they lowered during Obama's presidency

You do know he was sworn into office in 2009 right?

 

No, but It seems bigots like it when a Republican is President. They feel EMBOLDEN.

 

So if we say that Iran is bad and we should boycott them or god forbid sanction them, does that make us Islamaphobic?

Just curious and trying to understand the logical consistency here.

 

Trump's support of White Nationalism is resulting in violence. Plain and simple

 

I hate crime. Crime doesn't pay. Don't do the crime if you can't do the time.

Hey wait a minute...didn't Trump pass an executive order regarding anti-Semitism? Can't be his fault. Let's blame knives.

 

He actually did and the majority of the Jewish community have large concerns over the order labeling American Jewish people as a different nationality.

It also labeled criticism of the nation-state of Israel as anti-Semitic which many Jewish Americans did not like because many of them are also critical of Israel.

 

I can see the concern. I don't understand the need for an exec order addressing anti-semitism.

 

The need here was for Trump to pander red meat. The order was meant for college campuses who protest Israel. His base hates colleges and their activism. That is what it was. Pure red meat.

 

So you’re saying it’s Trumps fault now and not white men? I guess whatever fits your narrative.

 

You’re an idiot. Plain and simple

 

Apparently trump tweeted his concern in between holes...

 

I'm assuming @Space Ghost just has higher expectations for left leaning posters in terms of being the ad hominem police.
