On Nov 13/16 HAARETZ reported, “Hate Crimes Skyrocket After Trump’s Win. In the few days since Trump’s been elected, there have been more reports of hate crimes than in the past six months combined.” That may well be so but what caught my attention was the language used to attack Trump in order to blame him.
“Trump “has emboldened people who have very demeaning ideas about a lot of segments of our population. By being xenophobic, and racist, he has vindicated people who hold those beliefs. A lot of these incidents are pro-Trump people telling people of color,’ you don’t belong here, get out.’”
“By his own racist, sexist and anti-Semitic remarks, tropes, tweets and allusions, Trump ripped the cover off racism that had apparently swirled underneath the surface of American culture, in the process fomenting it, and making it suddenly “acceptable” to express. Reports of such behavior began to pour forth almost as soon as his victory was announced. For example, vandals spray-painted swastikas and “Sieg Heil 2016” on the window of a shuttered store in Philadelphia within hours of the polls closing last Tuesday.”
Haaretz has become unhinged perhaps because they see Trump as their enemy in Israel. He will strengthen the right and Haaretz will become weaker.
That aside, So far there is no proof that these incidents were cause by Trump supporters rather than Soros’ provocateurs. Nor is there evidence that such incidents were due to Trumps’ utterances rather than the left’s attempt to smear Trump as a racist and xenophobe.
I have watched about more than half of Trump’s speeches and I have heard nother resembling either of these traits.
A number of years ago I started reading Ha’aretz, and it took no time for me to realize that it was a rag that was almost as dangerous to the existence of our homeland as Hamas. If it had not been an internet medium, and had been a newspaper, I would have burned the damned thing, but I didn’t want to have to replace my computer, so I just wrote to them and told them what I thought of them, and that they could shove their piece of crap newspaper up their a**.
@ oldjerry:
I can’t find it now, but somebody, maybe Caroline Glick, once quipped that Haaretz is the Palestinian Newspaper in Hebrew.
Haaretz is the Israel version of the N.Y. Times and vice-versa.
haaretz is simply following george soros script just like the rioters in the USA… they are all criminals engaged in incitement and lies in order to destabilize the order… its a form of terrorism and sabotage Its all liintentional libel and smear.
There are no GOP or Trump mobs roaming the streets, the mobs attacking people, causing damages, attacking jews, knocking folks out in the knockout game are the muslim, leftist and black supporters of the dem party, paid for by soros and his globalist donors of the Democratic Alliance. Haaretz is in the same network of frauds who manipulate the media and the news to facilitatate political agenda.
