(Jewish Group) Jewish groups denounced Trump's insinuations about Jewish wealth.

Jewish groups denounced Trump’s insinuations about Jewish wealth. So why do some say they went easy on him?

(THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP! RESPECT!!)

Several Jewish groups weren’t happy about President Donald Trump’s remarks over the weekend at the Israeli-American Council’s annual conference.

At the event in Florida, the president slammed Jews who “don’t love Israel enough” and implied that Jews would not vote for Democratic candidate Elizabeth Warren because of their wealth.

“You have people that are Jewish people that are great people, they don’t love Israel enough,” Trump said Saturday.

After telling members of the audience that “a lot of you are in the real estate business,” Trump went on say that they “have to” support his re-election because there’s no alternative.

“You have no choice, you’re not gonna vote for Pocahontas, I can tell you that,” he said, using a pejorative nickname for Warren, who claims to have Native American ancestry. “You’re not gonna vote for the wealth tax.”

Two Jews, three opinions. However, it is worse, IMO, when the non-Jews start kvetching and demanding we "do this or do that" or "this was too harsh/not harsh enough". Given many don't give a shit about anti-Semitism, except when it comes from the other side, perhaps, they should follow the lead of those on their side and let them lead, and keep their opinions to themselves. Besides, there is always a Jew to match the opinion du jour.
