F'd Up! 10 reasons Persian Jews support Trump (jewishjournal.com)

[vkkv]

(These are excerpts from a front-page piece at a legitimate news source - I kid you not)


1. "The accusations against Trump are overblown by a biased and hostile media that easily forgive Clinton’s criminal investigation but exaggerate Trump’s speech." In all of his years in business and during his television show, “The Apprentice,” not once was Trump accused of bigotry or misogyny.

2. "I prefer an ugly truth to a beautiful lie. As a lifetime politician, Clinton sugarcoats her lies, whereas Trump speaks with honesty." Nixon’s Watergate pales in comparison to Clinton’s email leaks. Former CIA Director David Petraeus was prosecuted for sharing intelligence, while the media and President Barack Obama protect Clinton.

3. "We ran away from radical Islam and don’t want it to follow us here." Unlike Europe, Trump will deal with Jihadists head on.

4. "Clinton has been fully supported by Arabs." Palestinian flags flew over the DNC convention and Israeli flags were burned outside by protesters.


5. "All who compare Trump to Hitler are disingenuous and hurtful to the memory of survivors." We witnessed Democrats give rise to President Jimmy Carter, who despite the dubious Nobel Prize, has blood on his hands.

1. There are a lot of Persian Jews in my community and every last one I have talked to this election

season is horrified by Trump. They know that after the Muslims, he's eventually coming for the Jews, and the educated, and everyone he doesn't like.

8. It is nothing but dog-whistle clickbait.

Here are the first three paragraphs (emphasis added):

For many American Jews, #NeverTrump is the only slogan that matters. His shameful, unfiltered words have them running to Hillary Clinton.

For those of us with political honesty, the choice is the lesser of two evils. We are not choosing between Mother Teresa and the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. Our choice is between a liar who can be bought and a brash, uninformed egomaniac. The question becomes: Whose faults can we forgive?

Although I am not among them, my strong impression is that most Persian Jews in Los Angeles support Donald Trump. My impression is not based on any scientific poll. But while Clinton supporters allege that Trump supporters are all uneducated, I regularly meet doctors, attorneys, engineers, entrepreneurs and highly successful businesspeople whose reasons for supporting Trump I summarize below. You may agree or disagree with their reasoning, but based on my interactions with Trump supporters, this is how they feel:

Furthermore, there is this: Response to ‘10 reasons Persian Jews support Trump’ with the addition at the bottom of (emphasis added):

ADDENDUM: After this post was published, I had a Twitter conversation with Afshine Emrani MD, who says he was asked to write about what Jewish Persians thought, not his own opinion. I humbly apologize to Dr. Emrani for anything I wrote in this post that appears to be an attack on him, and for mistaking the views in the article to be his views.. I wish him peace.

2. I'm middle-eastern Christian

and #3 is a HUGE reason why almost every member of my community is voting Trump. I should state that the majority are conservative republicans to begin with, but the rise of ISIS, and seeing many in our community targeted over there by them, forcing them to flee for their lives to any western country that will take them, is a BIG reason why they are voting for him. Arguing with them is futile.

6. I aked some USA Christians why they supported Israel so much...

... and the answer always involved the covenant that God made to the Jews in the Old Testament.

I'm NOT anti-Israel, and I'm well aware of their anti-Jewish problems over there, but the replies from Christians here surprised me given the "new covenant" that Jesus allegedly made for all of humanity. There's text in the New Testament that indicates the older covenant is basically null and void.

I'm agnostic, but I've read the Bible... and most of the Koran.

7. Thank you!

4. This is utter dreck--I suspect the author had to dig very deep to find these

"anonymous" quotes. It's a slur on Persian Americans, and a slur on Persian American Jews.

5. Probably as reliable as their report that JoeMentum was going to endorse Trump.

They're a right wing rag. They're scraping the bottom to try to influence the election. By all 3 votes they might command from loyal readers.
