But we are certainly accustomed to the "no Jews allowed" demand that is implicit in your reply.

And please don't pretend that posting an eye-roll and violin playing emoji set in response to my observations about violence against Jews isn't trivializing violence against Jews.

You seem to want our party to be an exclusionary echo chamber and reject opportunities to learn from the people you hate... Which is probably why you keep losing primaries.
