Israel Ambassador Downplays Skyrocketing Anti-Semitism

quote [ Speaking at, of all places, the Auschwitz death camp in Poland on Thursday, Ambassador David Friedman told the Times of Israel he is skeptical about the Anti-Defamation League’s just-released annual audit of anti-Semitic incidents, which the group said showed “near-historic levels of anti-Semitism in 2018, including a doubling of anti-Semitic assaults and the single deadliest attack against the Jewish community in American history.”

Asked about the audit’s findings, Friedman said, “I doubt it. I haven’t studied it." ]

Way to read a fucking room, shit goblin.

I swear I saw "Speaking At Auschwitz" and "Well, no, I didn't actually READ the report per-SE" and really thought that this was an onion piece when I first saw it.

Nope.

I swear, Israel and its political leaders are giving Judaism a bad name.

Agreed but this was the US ambassador to Israel, not the other way around.

This was the guy that convinced dumpster to move the US embassy to jerusalem. And has said some other controversial statements about Israel.

It hasn't happened to me, so it doesn't exist.
It doesn't affect me, so I haven't studied it.
It doesn't benefit me, so I ignore it.

Conservatives only care about anti-Semitism when they think they can leverage it to attack their political foes (I'm sure no examples of which will appear in these comments.)

1) It's clear the current admin under Dump is looking to gain more control and the way to do that is by trashing groups such as Jews, blacks, and Latinos.

As a Jew, this is scary.

2) The last two comments were filtered under my threshold. Whatever does that mean and how does one remove such a threshold?
