‘The echoes are getting much too close’

An American-born Israeli journalist is warning Jewish voters not to cast ballots for GOP front runner Donald Trump, who he compares in chilling terms to the rise of Adolf Hitler before the Second World War.

Writing for the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, award-winning journalist Bradley Burston described watching American Jews talk about voting for Trump on television with a growing sense of doom. Normally, he pointed out, the concern goes in the other direction....

“My discomfort has only grown over the years, as the epithet Nazi has been thrown around so often and so loosely, by so many sides to so many conflicts,” he writes. “But this time is different. Because this time, the echoes are getting much too close.”

Burston, who has close relatives who survived the Holocaust, found haunting the words of Trump while speaking on Fox. “‘Everybody that’s attacked me is gone. Do you ever notice that? Wouldn’t that be nice for our country?'”

whining about accusing the goddess of something.

4. One difference. He hasn't organized any militias yet, but I think the whole gun culture, aryan

supremacy movement would do it if they were led into it. For this reason I'm glad that the bird sanctuary occupation in Oregon with the Bundy bunch resulted in arrests. It sort of serves as a warning to any would be American ISIS types that might rally behind Trump and try militia crap at his rallies.

A group of Donald Trump supporters over the weekend called for volunteers to join a would-be militia aiming to protect voters against so-called “violent far-left agitators.”

“Do you want to provide security protection to innocent people who are subject to harassment and assault by Far-left agitators?” Lion’s Guard asked in a call to action. “If so, you are welcome to join. That’s the mission — to protect innocents who can’t hire their own security guards.”

Thanks for playing, though, and I'm sure you'll enjoy this copy of our home game!

9. That's how it started in Germany. Thugs formed armed groups that attended Hitler's beer hall

speeches to intimidate any who would dissent, sort of how our DU jury system was operating until today. They often also rioted in the streets with other groups who had different agendas. I haven't quite seen that with this campaign season yet, but it could happen.
