Jewish leaders tell Trump he's not welcome in Pittsburgh until he denounces white nationalism
By Morgan Gstalter - 10/28/18 07:01 PM EDT

A group of Jewish leaders told President Trump that he is no longer welcome in Pittsburgh until he denounces white nationalism following the shooting at a synagogue there over the weekend.

Eleven members of the Pittsburgh affiliate of Bend the Arc: A Jewish Partnership for Justice penned a letter to Trump following the Saturday shooting at the Tree of Life Synagogue.

“Our Jewish community is not the only group you have targeted,” the group wrote. “You have also deliberately undermined the safety of people of color, Muslims, LGBTQ people, and people with disabilities. Yesterday’s massacre is not the first act of terror you incited against a minority group in our country.”

Trump was fiercely criticized after he failed to condemn white supremacy and asserted that there is “blame on both sides” after last year’s white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Va.

"Jewish leaders"?  Baloney.  I went to their website.  A bunch of typical leftist "progressive" wackos i.e. commies. The only thing they're working for is the establishment of a communist government.
Real fake news.

Exactly. "Jewish Leaders" whatever that undefined term means, would have said the exact same thing to any Republican President, no matter who it is. And yes, it is true that most American Jews are fanatical, rabid, even violent, Democrats. They do take politics personally. They will 'HATE' you if you dare disagree with their political view. It is not a political disagreement with them, it is deeply personal and heated.

BTW, having traveled the world, this is mostly an American phenomenon. Other Jews all over the world cannot understand the American Jew's fascination with totalitarian Communism and authoritarian Socialism both of which have been deadly to Jews worldwide all through history.

[dfwgator]

Trump has already done that, many times.   They just don't want to listen.

The term "Jewish Leaders" makes me think of some butch Lesbian tefillin laying activist who probably calls herself a 'rabbi' (without being ordained even by KMart). Does not recognize any difference between male and female, except she knows that she 'hates' males, which are not different from females.....or something ... like that ...I guess. These are confused and conflicted people.

I've seen this all over American. Radical Leftist Atheist usurp the Jewish brand to further some political goal. It is very common. They don't even know what they want. They are essentially just mentally 'disturbed' people who are grasping for something, anything, and even they do not really know what it is they are fighting for.

It's a shame, this is being a political football, "Jewish Leaders" here, imho, is the same as something like "Black Leaders", basically those on the plantation and I don't want to say anything offensive.

Trump said the right thing, let's see where this goes.

[Applewood]

This tragedy was already politicized even before the bodies were cold.  Every Democrat from the mayor to the governor to Senator Casey was on hand to stomp around the crime scene and show off their frowny faces for the cameras.  Their appearance had little to do with the tragedy or the victims or their loved ones and everything to do with the elections next month.  Didn't see any Republicans, although that could be because the party has little presence in the city.  So maybe that's why Trump feels compelled to come to Pittsburgh.  He has to show Republicans care too. 

But I wish he would stay away.  There are other reasons too.  Pittsburgh is an [expletive] to get around in on a normal day.  Should Trump come here, the traffic gridlock will be horrendous.  Then there is Antifa, Black Lives Matter,  Occupy something and the other malcontents.  You can be sure they won't have the decency to can their terroristic activities while Trump is in town.  The bill to the taxpayers for police and other  first responders to deal with these slobs will be huge.  And Pittsburgh is always in financial trouble to begin with. 

Really, I think Trump has said all he needs to say and done what needs to be done.   The feds got this and the perp will be toast.  Any further assistance can be directed from Washington, DC.  All in all, I think it's a bad idea for Trump to show up here.

You're exactly right. This bunch represents but a tiny sliver of Pittsburgh Jews. Considering the congregations shot up were of the conservative branch of Judaism, these Marxists' attempts to interfere are even more laughable.

But I agree with Applewood about the traffic problem. Driving in the burgh is hard enough.

Regardless of whether these folks count as "Jewish leaders",  this would be an opportune time for the President to denounce bigoted white nationalism in no uncertain terms.    There are no "good people" who espouse ideas like this Bower creep.

He could renounce it 5 times a day every day until Christmas and it won't make one bit of difference to the race baiters that paint him as some kind of White Nationalist/racist.

Trump has hit exactly the right note, denouncing hate and calling for unity.

Those calling for him to denounce this or that in addition are playing politics with tragedy.

Media Tout 'Jewish Leaders' In Pittsburgh Telling Trump He's Not Welcome. They're Lying. Those 'Jewish Leaders' Are Professional Progressive Activists.

Over the weekend, the press began a narrative drumbeat suggesting that President Trump was somehow responsible for the Tree of Life Synagogue shooting in Pittsburgh on Saturday – the deadliest anti-Semitic shooting in American history. On Monday, key members of the press amplified that message by quoting supposed Pittsburgh Jewish leaders saying the same thing. ...

So, is Bend The Arc really a group of “Jewish leaders”? Only in name. The group is merely a Leftist political action group with a Jewish label. Their stated mission is “rising up in solidarity with everyone threatened by the Trump agenda to fight for the soul of our nation.” Their missions include the election of “progressive champions” and the implementation of “progressive legislation and policies, like criminal justice reform and economic equity.”

Who runs Bend The Arc? Alexander Soros, George Soros’ son.   ...

Here’s the real headline: Rabbi Jeffrey Myers of the Tree of Life Synagogue told CNN this morning, “The President of the United States is always welcome. I’m a citizen. He’s my president. He is certainly welcome.”  ...  More at Daily Wire

He has denounced it. Nothing more needs to be said on the stupid topic.

Isn't that the son of a Nazi collaborator?

Absolutely not. President Trump should not and will not ever lend credence to the lie that proud, patriotic America is somehow teeming with white racists. Fact is fringe kooks can be found in every walk of life – every race, sex, religion, country or planet of origin and every political affiliation.

“You have also deliberately undermined the safety of people of color, Muslims, LGBTQ people, and people with disabilities. Yesterday’s massacre is not the first act of terror you incited against a minority group in our country.”

If guess they no longer follow G*d's law.

This bullsh*t boils down to 'stop saying things we disagree with'.

[240B]

It cannot be said enough that Bower is a registered Democrat. Why he chose to shoot Jews is not understandable. Most American Jews are anti-Trump Democrats like him.

Anti semitism is one of those political issues of convenience for the left. Otherwise they are as anti semitic as it gets. Just go listen to the ravings of activists on college campuses.

He's denounced the murders.  He's denounced anti-Semitism.    The issue is whether he should denounce bigoted white nationalism, and whether he should do so before the election.   For so many of us,  an underlying concern of ours is Trump's seeming reluctance to explicitly renounce the alt-right.   

Is the alt-right a part of the GOP coalition or isn't it?

He's everyone's president. Why denounce only one particular variety of hate? Whats wrong with denouncing all hate?

Leftists have always been antisemitic all throughout history and still today. Try wearing a yarmulke on any college campus and see what happens. Park your car on campus with a Jewish Star bumper sticker and see what happens to it when you come back.

There is no question that college campuses these days are fanatically antisemitic and anti-Christian both. The only religion that gets a pass is the worst, most murderous religion on Earth and that is Islam. They love Islam (mostly because of the millions granted to them by the Saudis) and Buddhism, but violently HATE everything else.

[aligncare]

I never heard of the alt right. What is that? Is it maybe the Left’s latest attempt to define normal, patriotic Americans with whom they disagree, as Nazis by a different name? I think maybe yes.
