Few days back the Times of Israel published an article criticizing Mr. Trump's latest little tirade against four junior members of Congress. I'm copying verbatim some extracts.
U.S. President D. Trump on Friday falsely claimed a group of four Democratic Congresswomen he has repeatedly attacked this week had referred to Jews as "Evil" Speaking to reporters outside the White-House, the President said of the four women, they can't call our country and our people garbage, they can't be anti-Semitic, they can't talk about evil Jews, which is what they say"Evil Jews"
Non of the women has ever been documented referring to "Evil Jews" continues the article, The President may have been referring to Rep Ilhan Omar tweeting in 2012 during a conflict in the Gaza strip; "Israel has hypnotized the world, may God awaken the people and help them see the evil doings of Israel." Trump was also misrepresenting the use of the word garbage, which Rep Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez did not use to denigrate her country or its people, rather she asked in March about her so called radical socialist agenda, she said ;"We've strayed so far away from what has really made us powerful and just, and good and equitable and productive, and so I think all of these things sound radical compared to where we are. But where we are is no good thing, this idea of 10% better from garbage shouldn't be what we settle for.
As noted by several media outlets, Trump has himself in the past referred to"garbage in our society" and accused his predecessor of turning things to garbage.Trump has in recent days repeatedly accused Omar, Ocasio-Cortez, R.Tlaib, and Ayanna Pressley of being anti-Semitic and hating Israel, and called on the women of color to go back to their home countries, though all are citizens and three were born in the U.S.
When I hear the way they talk about our country, when I hear the anti-Semitic language they use, when I hear the hatred they have for Israel, I tell you I don't believe this is good...... Omar was accused of anti-Semitism in February after she said that American support for Israel was driven by money from the powerful pro Israel lobbying group AIPAC. Later in May, Tlaib sparked a similar fire storm after she claimed her Palestinian ancestors had to suffer for the Jews to have a safe haven in the wake of the Holocaust, end of quote from the Times of Israel.
Now I have an honest question, while I fully endorse the article and fully approve the legitimate criticism, but I repeat why is it OK. and forgivable for an Israeli news paper to criticize openly the U.S. president, his words and tweets, and policies,accuse him of lying, while here in America, States like Texas criminalize and punish citizens for peacefully criticizing the heinous acts of the Israeli State and regime. Senators like Graham and others, even our President himself forbid anyone from any mention or word of criticism toward Israel or its leadership,brutality, inhumanity, theft, apartheid don't belong to Israel, no matter what.
Would anyone please, tell me why here in the U.S. it is a crime worthy of harsh punishment to mention Israel in any critical form, or Mr. Netanyahu, while their media can say whatever their conscience dictates, rightly or wrongly. Again the article in its entirety is fully justified and correct, although I don't think Mr. Trump approves of its content or wordings. He even tweeted later, " "Amazing how the fake news media became crazed over the chant"send her back" by a packed arena in North Carolina, but is totally calm and accepting of the most vile and disgusting statements made by our four radical left, anti-Semitic Congresswomen.
As always, my many thanks to all my readers across the world .
