LOL at the current CNN headline

Arabs are Semitic people too?

Daughter, grandkids, and son-in-law are Jewish

WTF

I wonder if the libs at CNN actually believe the horse shite they spew.

It's actually worse that they don't believe it. They know this their dribble isn't true and yet they roll with it anyway hoping to shape public opinion.

frick CNN and all but let's not pretend fox wasn't similar with "why won't Obama say Islamic terror".

I always thought it was silly but then also thought he missed a dropped mic opportunity to just say "Islamic terrorism. Moving along".

Comical, since his Daughter converted.

Cuomo looks like he's pinching one off.

I think he has already denounced racism and threw in a catch-all 'and all those bad things' (paraphrased). Yes, it would be best if he just came out and specifically denounced antisemitism.

So the question is, why doesn't he be more specific?
1. As someone in this thread already stated, even if he did (or, perhaps, already has) it will be a continuing game of 'gotcha' as the questioners insist he go on to denounce whatever else they consider important to their agenda.
2. I think he wants it to be accepted that he is leading by example: His son-in-law, his daughter, and his grandchildren, are all practicing Jews -even to the extent of following orthodoxies such as Jewish dietary law, I think.
3. The questions and requests for denouncement of antisemitism are very much like the proverbial 'when did you stop beating your wife' line of questioning. Declaring your innocence only invites the questioner to follow on with another question, 'so you deny beating your wife?'. I think Trump senses this trap and avoids it in hopes that there is focus on the reality of point #2.
4. (Conspiracy theory alert) It may not be clear that the referenced antisemitic instances -bomb threats, defacing of graves- are actually being carried out by traditional antisemitic actors. One of Trumps undeniable successes is the renewed and reinvigorated ties with Israel. The Far Left would dearly love to undermine this accomplishment so as to halt the real possibility of greater achievements such as middle east peace, the defeat of radical Islamic terrorism, an accord between Israel and the PLO, and -ultimately, a middle east alliance against Iran.

Again, an official statement in clear language from Trump would be best, IMO (and I note that Ivanka has posted such a comment), but it surely would not end these types of attacks.

So my question is, what anti semitism?

There is a string of bomb threats and vandalism targeting Jewish centers and cemeteries.

Yep, that's pretty dumb for CNN
