Donald Trump has established a pattern of offending — or at the very least ignoring — Jews. The most recent example was just last week, when he declined to pay his respects at a Holocaust memorial in Warsaw that other American presidents routinely visited.

He’d been in office just a week when International Holocaust Remembrance Day rolled round and his administration issued a statement that bizarrely omitted any specific mention of Jews. Administration officials made no apology, saying that millions of people who weren’t Jewish died in the Holocaust and that by not singling out any one group of victims, the White House had taken a more “inclusive” approach.

Then there was an initial, strange silence from Trump and his aides about a rash of anti-Semitic vandalism and bomb threats around the country in January and February.

In May, in Israel, Trump insisted on a much shorter stop at Yad Vashem, an important Holocaust memorial and museum, than either Barack Obama or George W. Bush had made, and he stuck to that plan even as many Israelis and American Jews cried foul. The tone-deaf breeziness of his approach was accentuated by the message he left in the visitors’ book: “It is a great honor to be here with all of my friends — so amazing & will never forget!” As Yair Rosenberg of the Jewish magazine Tablet tweeted, it was “basically just what teenagers write in each other’s high school yearbooks.”

Ivanka converted to Judaism to marry Jared Kushner, and the couple’s key roles in the White House mean that Trump has observant Jews at the very core of his presidency — and of his life.

But that didn’t stop him from making remarks to Jewish Republican donors in December 2015 that seemed to play into an anti-Semitic stereotype. “I’m a negotiator — like you folks,” he said, later adding: “Is there anybody that doesn’t renegotiate deals in this room? Perhaps more than any room I’ve ever spoken to.”

During his presidential campaign, he embraced the favor of groups and people who trafficked in white supremacy. He re-tweeted material from proudly anti-Semitic Twitter feeds, and prompted a furor by promoting an image that placed Hillary Clinton’s face atop a pile of cash and beside a six-pointed star on which “most corrupt candidate ever” was written.

Go back to his mini-tantrum during a White House news conference in February, when a reporter for a Jewish magazine tried to ask him whether he was paying proper heed to the anti-Semitic bomb threats. Trump interpreted the question as an indictment not of his behavior but of his being — “I am the least anti-Semitic person that you’ve ever seen in your entire life!” he trumpeted — and turned the discussion toward the big, bad media. Forget about any persecution of Jews. Let’s talk about the persecution of Trump.

What's going on here with Trump and the Jews? Despite Ivanka's conversion to Judaism and marriage into a very wealthy Jewish family has Donald's pattern of cursory treatment of the Jews revealed a deeply buried emotional dislike for them, or has his behavior simply been the result of his own narcissistic belief that he is rightfully a president who owes nothing of his success to any of his constituents? Are these series of slights against the Jews a revelation of his true negative feelings for them or are his behaviors the result of a non-politician who doesn't understand the symbolism that attends the rituals and circumstances of the President's "bully pulpit?"

Putrid vile offensive racist crap.

It's pointless saying that you should be ashamed of yourself - there is doubt about whether you have any sense of shame to begin with.

But what possesses you to think that anyone with more than a single digit IQ would be interested in hearing such garbage?

You want North Korea to get over it.
You want Iran to get over it.
You want several south American countries to get over it.
You want several African countries to get over it.

Why not the Jews ? We practically gave them a country. What more do they want ?

I am sick of the US government kissing their ass. That is mainly because of the bribes from AIPAC and other sources. Elect me dictator and we will save at least six million a year by letting them fend for themselves.
