Saturday’s stabbing during a Hanukkah celebration at a rabbi’s home in Monsey, N.Y., the latest in a spate of anti-Jewish violence in the region, drew bipartisan condemnation. But the attack also became a political football in a matter of hours, with several on the left jumping to point fingers at President Trump — in turn, inviting accusations that Democrats are distracting from anti-Semitism in their own ranks.
Anti-Semitism long has been prevalent on the fringes of both ends of the political spectrum. But Trump foes quickly seized on the New York area attacks to suggest the president specifically fanned the flames of hatred.
Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., pointedly blamed Trump for the rise in anti-Semitism in the U.S. “Anti-Semitism is on the rise in America. And it’s being stoked by @realDonaldTrump who won’t condemn it and Trump’s lawyer, @RudyGiuliani, who just this week said he’s ‘more Jewish than Soros,’” Swalwell tweeted, including a reference to recent controversial remarks by Rudy Giuliani.
Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., who has tweeted messages about Israel in the past that were criticized as including anti-Semitic tropes, retweeted Swalwell’s post.
However, Trump has condemned anti-Semitism. While his statement in response to the Monsey attack came later in the afternoon, he spoke out against bigotry against Jews in no uncertain terms. …

The Communist Democrats knew it was one of their own and this is just deflection.
Every anti-Semitic word and deed in the last 3 years has been committed by a member of the Communist Democratic Party.
Despicable demagoguery here from the Demofascists but you have to admire the fact they never stop battling. Contrast this with Graham undermining Rudy yesterday with a “Russia, Russia” smear in a Fake News Daily Beast interview. Clearly, one party wants to win in 2020 and one does not.
if you want to see who’s provoking all this dangerous Jew-hatred,its supposed-Jews like Schiff, Nadler, Schumer, and Pelosi rushing the new IslamoNazi rep straight onto the defense-senstive foreign relations committee
Blame it on OBotulism where it clearly stands!!
Pelosi’s a Jew? She keeps telling us she’s a Catholic, definitely of Italian extraction.
Without self-awareness, Dems usually blame the Jews, the Christians and Trump.
Rabbis calling Jewish politicians’ behavior a ‘churban’ - disaster:
Well we know these people are shameless so nothing should surprise us. I for one am glad they do this stuff because the more they do it the more people realize what the rats have become.
Dems rush to blame Trump (for anything and everything)
Meadow muffins.
If what this asshole said was true, then that would mean President Trump hates 20% of his own family.
One more inconvenient fact: the U.S. Embassy is in Jerusalem now.
Swallow well and his ilk are pond scum.

What is the secular basis of Judaism? Practical need; self-interest. What is the worldly religion of the Jew? Huckstering. What is his worldly god? Money.I have often wondered who leftists, ignorant of history, would attribute those words to if you just uttered them out of nowhere and then asked them “Who wrote this?”
Very well, then! Emancipation from huckstering and money—consequently, from practical, real Judaism—would be the self-emancipation of our time. […]
The god of practical need and self-interest is money. Money is the jealous god of Israel, in face of which no other god may exist. Money degrades all the gods of man and turns them into commodities. Money is the universal self-established value of all things. It has, therefore, robbed the whole world—both the world of men and nature—of its specific value. Money is the estranged essence of man’s work and man’s existence, and this alien essence dominates him, and he worships it. The god of the Jews has become secularized and has become the god of the world. The bill of exchange is the real god of the Jew. His god is only an illusory bill of exchange. …
I don’t understand these people. What has he ever said that was anti-Semitic?
From the party that coddles anti-Semites.
Lies, lies, and damn lies. Pres. Trump has been the biggest supporter of Jews and Israel in my political memory. He even recognized Jerusalem as the capitol of Israel, and moved our embassy there. This is something no other president had the balls to do.
That’s like trying to find a single thing he said that could be judged as “racist”. And yet the press and Democratic politicians spent an entire month spewing “Trump is a racist” in various forms after the Mueller report failed to provide them with the “evidence” of “collusion” they were so keen on “proving”.
Yes, the communists hated the Jews as much as the NAZIs hated them.
The difference was the NAZIs used the Jews as the focus of all their problems after World War 1.
The communists had multiple groups they hated. The Jews were just one of them because it helped feed the class warfare side of their arguments.
Pres. Trump’s father actually financed at least part of a synagogue, and the Jews involved regarded Christian Fred as an extremely God-fearing man.
Typical liberal projection- like clockwork- they coem out and falsely accuse republicans of the very thing they are guilty of
