Trump speaks out against anti-semitism

All of this has led many to speak out about the threats, and some have been less-than-pleased with the response Trump and the White House have offered.

During the museum visit, Trump was asked by reporters if he would visit the Holocaust Museum in Washington D.C.as well.

President Trump spoke out Tuesday against the wave of anti-Semitic threats against Jewish community centers, calling them “horrible” reminders of the bigotry that still exists in the country.

“I think it’s awful or frightful, whether it’s anti-Semitism or racism or anything you can think about having to do with the divide”, he said. “We look forward the government continuing to take this as a major priority and solving the case and apprehending the perpetrator or perpetrators”.

Now Goldstein, via the Center’s Facebook page, has responded vehemently to Trump’s acknowledgment, this morning, of the menace of anti-Semitism.

Goldstein’s statement is not the only recent instance in which the Center has criticized Trump for refusing to meaningfully address anti-Semitism.

In addition to Trump’s unwillingness to speak out against anti-Semitism, the administration also came under fire last month for releasing a statement commemorating International Holocaust Remembrance Day that conspicuously failed to mention Jews.

On Feb. 15, during Trump’s meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, a reporter mentioned rising anti-Semitism in the country.

At his first press conference since his Inauguration last week he told a Jewish reporter to sit down and accused him of lying after asking him a question about the anti-Semitic bomb threats.

Well, it looks like pressure from Trump’s daughter and nemesis paid off.

On Monday, Trump’s daughter Ivanka Trump wrote on Twitter, “We must protect our houses of worship & religious centers”, and used the hashtag #JCC.

“The President’s sudden acknowledgment of Anti-Semitism is a Band-Aid on the cancer of Anti-Semitism that has infected his own administration”, the statement says.

“We fit in perfectly to what’s happening nationally”, she said. “I think a lot of good things are happening”.

No bombs were found during an investigation of the threats, and as of Monday, police had yet to declare the destruction at Chesed Shel Emeth Cemetary a hate crime, according to USA Today.

You wouldn’t know it from all of this but the White House did condemn the bomb threats yesterday. The US president has faced growing criticism for failing to explicitly renounce anti-Jewish sentiment. “I understand the rest of your question”. “He believed that his fellow African-Americans always looked to the United States as the promised land of universal freedom”, the president said.
