I for one wish he wouldn’t. Not for any political reason or false claims he fanned the flames. But because the synagogue members and the whole area is still in a state of deep mourning. Having Trump there will unfortunately create a disturbance no matter how well his intentions are. They should be allowed to grieve privately without worry about media intrusion because of Trump’s visit. If anything the President should arrange to meet privately with a group from the synagogue at their convenience and behest.

Soros is not held in good stead in the Israeli Jewish community. Being born Jewish doesn’t mean he likes Jews, clearly he doesn’t.

The RJC Rep. Jewish Coalition is the GOP arm trying to organize Jews to push for Republicans and the Party policies.

First, define “white nationalism”.

This could easily be perceived as politicizing a horrific event. Still, it’s “damned if you” do and “damned if you don’t” given today’s political milieu.

NBC is reporting that anti-Semitism is on the rise, but no mention of Farrakhan or Obama or Hillary.

I am sure that President Trump would not be going had he not been invited.

Whatever President Trump does will be criticized. I don’t think he will try to make it a media event or a photo op.

I think President Trump will console whoever wishes to be visited. If some prefer not to meet with the President, I am sure they will not be forced to.

Trump is president. He represents the American people. He needs to show America’s support even if he is criticized for it.
