ADL calls for Trump's removal

[Jayhawker Soule]

From the Forward: ADL call for Trump's ouster is a watershed for American Jewish establishment.

The Anti-Defamation League’s call for President Donald Trump to be removed from office is not likely to lead to that result. But it is nonetheless a significant event: the first major, mainstream American Jewish organization to take such a stand, and an unprecedented one for the 108-year-old organization.

Jonathan Greenblatt, the group’s chief executive officer, told me in a phone interview Sunday that he knows the president is not likely paying attention to the ADL’s news releases. But as one of the nation’s leaders on tracking and fighting white supremacy, he said, the ADL had to make the strongest possible statement after Wednesday’s assault on the Capitol.​

Good!

I think it would send the correct signal, particularly with a 50/50 congress.

The goal of the statement, he said, isn’t to oust a president who will soon be an ex-president anyway. It’s to stop the rise of the racist, antisemitic terrorist groups whom the president sicced on Congress.

Unfortunately, these will not end with Trumps presidency as it did not begin with Trump but he gave it legitimacy, this festering - (the formation of morbific matter in an abscess or a vesicle and the discharge of pus suppuration), of hatred. I'm afraid the best to hope for is to halt the infiltration into our legislatures and legislative appointments, and into our churches, especially the bible thumping gun totting variety.
Many foreign governments have voiced outrage, just wondering where the Israeli PM stands with his friend Trump?

I do have empathy for those who sincerely believed that Trump represented a better life, better economy, and someone who did not talk down to them. The deeper the belief the deeper the sense of betrayal. For some I really think there is the process of grieving;

• denial
• anger
• bargaining
• depression
• and maybe, acceptance.

Quite the reaction to supporting Israel, moving the embassy to Jerusalem, working out a peace deal with UAE, Oman, Morocco, and more to come (well, not anymore now, I assume), putting pressure on Iran, taking out the head of the Revolutionary Guard, and more.

In Israel, they name streets after Trump, and the "American Jewish establishment" wants him gone. Go figure.

Dang American Jewish Establishment! Where are they when you need someone to betray America!

Its strictly about this president without regard for that. Israel is after all a foreign country.

Do you have a point (other than equating the ADL with the "American Jewish establishment")?

Waitasecond. Supporting Israel, peace in the Middle East, and no new stupid wars for 4 years is "betraying America"? Can you elaborate?

And again, should an "American Jewish Establishment" not somehow be aligned with Israels interest? What am I missing?

Not to derail the thread, but there have been no new stupid wars for seventeen years.

There has been a peaceful transfer of power from one President to another for 223 years, or 160 years if you include the outbreak of the Civil War after Lincoln was inaugurated. Until now.

This is a bizarre, low bar by which to benchmark the Traitor in Chief.
