American Friends, Trust an Israeli: Trump's Second Amendment Remarks Could Get Someone Killed
You didn’t have to be Israeli for Donald Trump’s latest remarks targeting Hillary Clinton to evoke the kind of incitement that led to the assassination of late Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin in 1995.
In a scathing column published late Tuesday, after Republican presidential nominee Trump made his comments, suggesting that Second Amendment supporters could somehow stop his rival, The New York Times' Thomas Friedman wrote that the violent rhetoric used against the late Israeli leader and Trump’s words were impossible to ignore.
Friedman’s column opened: “And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin got assassinated. His right-wing opponents just kept delegitimizing him as a 'traitor' and 'a Nazi' for wanting to make peace with the Palestinians and give back part of the Land of Israel.
Of course, all is fair in politics, right? And they had God on their side, right? They weren’t actually telling anyone to assassinate Rabin. That would be horrible.
