US anti-Semitism worst since 1930s, ADL leader says
If Trump enforces Muslim registry, says Jonathan Greenblatt, that will be the ‘day this proud Jew will register as a Muslim’
At the opening to the Anti-Defamation League’s conference on anti-Semitism, the organization’s national director said anti-Jewish hatred in America is worse than at any point since the 1930s.
Jonathan Greenblatt, speaking Thursday at the opening of the ADL’s “Never Is Now” summit in New York, said currents on both the far-right and far-left have led to anti-Semitism’s resurgence. He mentioned the platform of the Movement for Black Lives published this year that accused Israel of genocide.
Greenblatt also detailed the anti-Semitic attacks that rose during the 2016 presidential campaign, mentioning the appointment of Stephen Bannon as the chief strategist to President-elect Donald Trump. Bannon was the chairman of Breitbart News, a website Bannon called the “platform for the alt-right,” a loose movement of the far-right whose followers traffic variously in white nationalism, anti-immigration sentiment, anti-Semitism and a disdain for “political correctness.”
“The American Jewish community, our community, has not seen this level of anti-Semitism in mainstream political and public discourse since the 1930s,” Greenblatt said. “Sadly, it is only being matched with escalating levels of hate toward other minorities today.”
Addressing reports that Trump’s transition team is considering creating a registry of Muslims in the United States, Greenblatt pledged that he would sign up as a Muslim. He referred to the apocryphal story about the king of Denmark promising to wear a yellow star if it would be required of the Scandinavian country’s Jews.
“As Jews, we know what it means to be registered, or targeted, held out as different from our fellow citizens,” Greenblatt said. “We as Jews know the right and just response. I pledge to you right here and now, because I’m committed to the fight against anti-Semitism, if one day American Muslims will be forced to register their identity, that is the day this proud Jew will register as a Muslim.”
What kind of a world do we live in where simply telling the truth makes them call you anti-Semitic?
It's not our fault that kikes are terrible people that corrupt and corrode entire nations, and use usury of crony politics to thieve away what is not rightfully theirs.
Is it OUR fault that their women are hairy, misshapen apes? That their people are hook-nosed, effeminate perverts? We had nothing to do with that.
Very unfair.

They're accurate about it though, 20 years ago it was forbidden to speak badly of Jews or Judaism, and most people in the US didn't even understand why there would be a reason to dislike Jews to begin with. Many of them (myself included) basically just thought Judaism was Christianity without Jesus, which couldn't be further from the truth. Now I see so many people who know about the Jew and their crimes against America and the White race. It's a thing of beauty.

I love how they didn't even have a shitty drawing for the 3rd cover and just had to rush out a photo to plaster on the cover. I wish I could see the retarded shit they had ready to roll out in case of a Cunton win

One outcome is a giant oven, the other is also a giant oven. Just depends on who is kvetching.
The Christ part is the most important part tho and the major difference.

glad to hear someone finally invented time travel and ended the debate once and for all. Can you tell us who built the great pyramid since you're clearly able to see into the past accurately?
