    This is sickening. And each person and group listed really has encouraged Maduro staying in power. No one can claim they didn't know he was liable to do this, either.

    Note the distortion and evasion. Shapiro was specific and correct: they share the same hateful notions about Jews. Jews controlling society and doing evil things. But anything to cover for 's Antisemitism will do.

    Yep, black Muslim refugee Ilhan Omar definitely shares the white supremacist shooter’s opposition to *checks notes* black Muslim refugees being brought into America to replace white people. Idiot.

    Don't worry, Ilhan, we know precisely where stands on the defense of Jewish lives against terrorists. We know precisely where you stand, too.

    A white nationalist literally terrorized a synagogue during Passover yesterday and you have yet to say anything. Shame on you.

    Preaching bigotry and sowing hatred is done most effectively by projecting one's own hate and bigotry onto others, e.g. demonizing people of faith because of their sincere beliefs.

    I welcome any opportunity to talk about how faith guides me, but I cannot—in good conscience—attend an event put on by an organization that preaches bigotry and sows hate against the LGBTQ community. That's why I am declining an invitation to the Family Leader's July 12 summit.

    This is an obviously heartfelt statement. Anyone who understands the history of Antisemitism and the "banality of evil" will know that there is no reason to doubt its sincerity and accuracy. We owe the family the benefit of that doubt. They likely lost a loved one, too.

    Statement from the family of John T. Earnest. The Earnest Family does not anticipate giving any more public statements on this matter until after the criminal case is resolved. Please direct all inquiries to their attorney, Earll M. Pott at (619) 239-8131.

    And no, it's not a faulty process, an accident, an error. It's a pattern of falsification that only goes in only one direction. Accidents don't go in one direction. At that point, it is deliberate, and worthy of Julius Streicher without a trace of exaggeration.

    Someone please explain how this headline differs from how Der Sturmer would have covered the same story. Is the difference that the Times eventually got around to letting those who read the full story, rather than skimming the page, know the truth?

    Suffice it to say that others see it differently.

    Replying to @davidrlurie
    Two thoughts, David. Two of the 'other issues' Bret raises are simply untrue. No one is mainstreaming anti-Zionism or anti-Semitic argument. It's hardly as if our pages resemble those of Der Sturmer ...

    EXCELLENT: "Identity politics isolate and demonize whole swaths of this country, whose fringes are driven further into extremism and even violence. The fascists of the left [are] ironically and inadvertently partnering with the hateful alt-right nationalists." Must read!

    If Israel's "occupation" is about government policies and not about Jews, then why do supporters of "Palestine" claim it justifies the murder of women and children, rather than military targets?

    I spoke at length yesterday to Rabbi Yisroel Goldstein, Chabad of Poway, where I extended my warmest condolences to him and all affected by the shooting in California. What a great guy. He had a least one finger blown off, and all he wanted to do is help others. Very special!

    Those accusing the President of Antisemitism really need to stop harming the Jewish people.

    A response of "anti Zionism is not antisemitism" when the discussion is about antisemitism and it's results is, in fact, antisemitic. Or, at the very least, it's a complete lack of caring about human lives just to make your very woke point. Zionism has nothing to do with this.

    Even if unintentional, the left has normalized anti-semitism under the guise of criticizing US-Israel foreign policy. It is radicalizing people. NYT was latest example along with their weak-at-best apology.

    Important tweet from Rabbi Menken. Note the ratio mob attacks from Muslims & progressives proving his exact point.

    If you express sympathy for victims when Jews are shot in America, but claim they are "occupiers" in Israel -- and that it is those who protect them from murder who are doing "evil" -- thanks, but no thanks.

    I asked why lies from Ilhan Omar should be regarded differently than lies from David Duke. The answer? Asking the question means I "hate Muslims." Proves something.

    Replying to @ymenken @RoseAJacob @maxtrail1
    My my for a man holding such high religious authority you do hate Muslims very very sad .

    Pretty much every time I report a story about anti-Semitism, from America to Europe, I get responses from anti-Semites who immediately deflect to Israel--which was never mentioned and has nothing to do with the story--to justify the attacks on Jews outside Israel. Every time.

    A fun thing to do is tweeting about anti-Semitism and then walking away for a few hours and coming back to questions about whether you think it’s ok to criticize the Israeli government. What a broken society.

    Confused by those using the synagogue shooting into a reason to say “this is why you should focus on anti-Semitism on the right instead of the left.” Failing to challenge it among the left (as well as the right) only leads to further normalization of Jew hate in society at large.
