(Jewish Group) Right-wing Jewish group defends Trump's latest tirade against American Jews

THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP! RESPECT!!!

Morton Klein, the longtime president of the Zionist Organization of America, strongly defended former President Donald Trump’s recent warning to American Jews to “get their act together” or else face repercussions.

Klein supported Trump’s assertion, made in a social media post earlier this week, as he responded to a backlash over his group’s plans to honor the former president.

“I agree with him,” Klein said in an interview on Thursday. “We, Jews, are not supporting the people who are best for Jews in Israel. That’s a fact,” Klein said about Trump’s post, which accused American Jews of failing to support Israel and warned them to “get their act together … before it is too late!”

Jonathan Greenblatt, CEO of the Anti-Defamation League, described the statement as “an unveiled threat” and the White House deemed it “antisemitic.”

Klein said that Trump was “not threatening” Jews but rather issuing “a proper warning” that “if they keep supporting people who are not good to us and not appreciating people who are good to us, bad things are going to happen and they’re happening.”

MORONS! These are prime examples of "Court Jews", that is to say, they go out of their way to ignore, minimize, trivialize, excuse, and/or outright dismiss anti-Semitism when it suits their needs, especially if it is coming from their side! Furthermore, assholes like this are useful idiots for the right, and weapons for the left. When Jews start making excuses for anti-Semitism or dismissing it, more problems, more hate, more bigotry is bound to emerge.

No surprise to me.

I was more surprised that lots of people think ALL of us American Jews would be offended by it.

Lots of right wing Jews who believe this crap.
