After the Pittsburgh Temple Shooting, Will Liberals Stop Their Anti-Israeli/Anti-Semitic Attacks?

It's a serious question. An growing minority of liberals have not only been repeating Hamas and Hezbollah talking points about the Palestinians and the Jewish settlements on the West Bank, but they have been using grossly overheated rhetoric to attack the state of Israel, going so far as to call it "apartheid," "racist," "oppressive," and even "fascist." Around the country, some Jewish student groups have faced opposition from Palestinian/Arab student groups to their requests for charters to be recognized as groups allowed to meet on campus. On some campuses, meetings of Jewish student groups have faced far-left, pro-Palestinian protesters.

In the aftermath of the shooting at a Jewish temple in Pittsburgh, will the American Left now decide to abandon, or at least drastically tone down, their anti-Israeli/anti-Semitic attacks?
Don't be stupider than you have to be.

Liberals are neither anti-Israel nor anti-Semitic.

No.



It's who and what they are.

They won't be happy until there is a second Holocaust in Israel

In the interim, the Holocaust of the unborn will have to appease them for now.

Anti-Semitism Soars on U.S. College Campuses
 
Most Jewish Americans are like Black Americans in that they are willing to stay on the Democratic plantation even tho the plantation masters have embraced the far left.
It's called indoctrination followed up by heavy doses of operant conditioning over the long-term.
So you claim that Jewish Americans and Black Americans are too stupid to see what's going on in America and make intelligent political choices for themselves?
I think more are waking up to the fact that the party they've supported is screwing them in order to keep their political power. BLEXIT seems to be growing.
 
YEA for Pittsburgh
More than 16,000 people have signed an open letter to President Trump from the leaders of a Pittsburgh-based Jewish group who say the president will not be welcome in the city unless he denounces white nationalism and stops “targeting” minorities after a mass shooting Saturday at a local synagogue left 11 dead.

The letter, which was published and shared on Sunday, was written by 11 members of the Pittsburgh affiliate of Bend the Arc, a national organization for progressive Jews focused on social justice, following what is being called the deadliest attack on Jews in U.S. history. The shooting at Tree of Life synagogue also left several people injured, including law enforcement. As of early Monday morning, the letter had 16,533 signatures.

“For the past three years your words and your policies have emboldened a growing white nationalist movement,” the Jewish leaders wrote. “You yourself called the murderer evil, but yesterday’s violence is the direct culmination of your influence."

The letter continued: “Our Jewish community is not the only group you have targeted. You have also deliberately undermined the safety of people of color, Muslims, LGBTQ people, and people with disabilities. Yesterday’s massacre is not the first act of terror you incited against a minority group in our country.”

The White House did not respond to multiple requests for comment late Sunday night.

On Saturday, Trump strongly condemned the shooting as “pure evil,” adding that the “vile, hate-filled poison of anti-Semitism” and all other forms of prejudice must be rejected, The Washington Post reported. The president also announced that he would be making a visit to Pittsburgh.

Four boldfaced lines stand out from the rest of the letter’s 338 words.

“President Trump, you are not welcome in Pittsburgh until you fully denounce white nationalism.”

“President Trump, you are not welcome in Pittsburgh until you stop targeting and endangering all minorities.”

“President Trump, you are not welcome in Pittsburgh until you cease your assault on immigrants and refugees.”

“President Trump, you are not welcome in Pittsburgh until you commit yourself to compassionate, democratic policies that recognize the dignity of all of us.”



“We feel like there have been multiple communities under attack in the United States from the vitriol that the president has been spreading,” Friedman said. “It was the Jewish community’s turn. Blowback from his words came and cost people’s lives, and we said enough is enough.”

If the president decides to visit Pittsburgh without meeting the letter’s demands, Friedman said, he expects Trump will “only be met with derision.”

“We will let him know how unhappy we are with his presence, with his lack of leadership,” he said. “He will see all of Pittsburgh in the streets. It’s not just going to be the people that signed on to the letter. It’s going to be everybody."

Friedman added, “If he’s going to come to our city, he’s going to come on our terms.”

This AH must be stopped {impeached}
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump escalated his attacks on the news media Monday following a week of election-season violence, arguing that "fraudulent" reporting was contributing to anger in the country and declaring that the press was the "true Enemy of the People."

Trump tweeted: "There is great anger in our Country caused in part by inaccurate, and even fraudulent, reporting of the news." He added that the media "must stop the open & obvious hostility & report the news accurately & fairly."
 
The extremes sides will continue to ramp up the hostility, that is what they know, that is all they know.

BUT do we need the presidents help to make it even worse?

No, however you already knew that. Love how you don't want to place any blame other than Trump. Like I stated extremists are all hurting this country, however they really don't give a damn.

There are others I suppose on both sides but don't you think it starts at the top ?

I'm still trying to get the OP logic. An anti-Semite just assassinated eleven people simply because of their religion, and he says this act supports opposing anti-Semitism.

That's why you supported the move of the US Embassy to Jerusalem, right?

One of the things I really disliked about Obama's second term was how he responded to BLM. The racial disparity in sentencing, esp for drug crimes, is a national disgrace .... I'm all for stopping that, and Obama and Holder did the nation a service in moving forward on that.

But cops of all races are involved in stopping people and investigating. Yes blacks are disproportionately stopped in some instances. But not all. If I'm an old white guy driving at night in a place where old white guys aren't usually, they should stop me. And, both whites and blacks get stopped in areas where they are the majority. I think Obama painted with too broad a brush.

And some of his comments may have encouraged violence against cops.

But I suspect some folks who faulted Obama, give Trump a tiny thump up.

What does supporting the move of the embassy have to so with anti-Semitism, or anti-Israel attitudes? Is there some litmus test? If you don't support moving the embassy that means you want to see Israel cease to exist?
