OPINION:
There is a certain hypocrisy in Rep. Jerry Nadler and other Democrats calling upon President Trump to condemn anti-Semitism. Many of these same people failed to condemn the Rev. Jesse Jackson for his infamous remarks about Jews in 1984, as well as comments that have been made by other Democrats. These of course include Hillary Clinton, who was seen and heard screaming an anti-Semitic epithet at her husband’s campaign manager following Bill Clinton’s 1974 lost congressional-seat bid in Arkansas.
These are the same politicians who speak of diversity yet condone suppression of free speech by political figures on university campuses. They are the group that, with the exception of the late Sen. John Glenn, was strangely silent when the Clinton White House made disparaging remarks about World War II hero Sen. Robert Dole, whose right shoulder was shattered when he attacked a Nazi machine-gun nest.
It should be noted that Mr. Trump has been the best ally Israel has had in years, especially given the policies and behavior of the previous administration.
