Here is something that I haven't heard after the shooting at the Synagogue this past weekend.

Where is Jared & Ivanka? Why are they not speaking out? Will they eventually speak out against this violence that is being flamed by Donald's rhetoric?

I'm figuring that we won't here from them & they will allow Donald to continue to spew his hate to their base so they can become a family in a dictatorship.

Read that a few months ago.

Jared and Ivanka are disentangling themselves from the Trump-administration because they know this will end badly.
Once daddy's term is over, they will have to go back to NY.
Problem is, they are now pariahs to the NY high-society, so they are looking for a way to break up with Trump.

If Jared and Ivanka speak out against violence by antisemites, antisemites might get upset and stay home on election day.

"America is stronger than the acts of a depraved bigot and anti-semite," Ivanka tweeted Saturday. "All good Americans stand with the Jewish people to oppose acts of terror & share the horror, disgust & outrage over the massacre in Pittsburgh. We must unite against hatred & evil. God bless those affected."

yesterday-? but it wasn't much. I think they observe the orthodox week-end of not using machinery etc. I apologize for not knowing what it's called. Perhaps today there will be more from them.

Not defending them as I despise them and they can't be all that devout if they are attached to that shitstain, it's too late to pretend anything different now.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Saturday evening that he was ‘heartbroken and appalled by the murderous attack on a Pittsburgh synagogue today,” in which 11 people have been confirmed dead.

“The entire people of Israel grieve with the families of the dead,” Netanyahu said in a video message. “We stand together with the Jewish community of Pittsburgh. We stand together with the American people in the face of this horrendous antisemitic brutality and we all pray for the speedy recovery of the wounded.”



This was within hours of the shooting. Meanwhile, a British lawmaker laid the blame for the shootings on Israel.

Jenny Tonge, a British House of Lords lawmaker with a history of making anti-Semitic statements, suggested that the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting was the fault of Israel’s policy toward Palestinians.

“Absolutely appalling and a criminal act, but does it ever occur to Bibi and the present Israeli government that it’s [sic] actions against Palestinians may be reigniting anti-Semitism?” wrote Tonge on Facebook Saturday. Bibi is the nickname of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
