Hundreds join VP Mike Pence and Missouri Gov to clean up

Posted: Feb 23, 2017

Missouri Republican Governor Eric Greitens and Vice President Mike Pence met with hundreds of supporters today to clean up and repair headstones at the desecrated Jewish cemetery in University City. Vandals damaged dozens of headstones this week at the historic Jewish Cemetery north of St. Louis...;

Thank you, VP Mike Pence, Gov. Greiten, and all the - volunteers. These criminals knocked

What? No mention of the $91,000 donated by Muslims? - errors of ommission

Within a few hours of this becoming public, Muslims had collected over $91,000 to help repair the damage.

Several days later Pence showed up in his suit and tie and a rake. I wonder how much he really cleaned up. Did he make a personal donation?

"It's been inspiring to people all across this country to see the way - all people of Missouri have rallied around the

[ In Reply To ..]
Jewish community with compassion and support,” the vice president said. “You have inspired this nation with your kindness and your care.”

He also credited the Muslim community who organized a campaign which raised $40,000 to pay for the repair of 100 headstones damaged in the cemetery. Apparently 1500 donors doubled the funding goal in three hours.

That was a classy thing for Pence to say. - Kudos.

story.

I'm sure a politician would be called out if they donated to one cause - but not another.

It's great that they cleaned up the cemetery and that Muslims contributed to the clean-up but you can't have a president who spews hate and not have consequences. He's not the only reason for these hateful actions but he certainly contributes to them.

Are you trying to blame the cemetary desecration on - President Trump? Why no uproar

[ In Reply To ..]
over the same thing when Obama was in office? It happened in PA, Indiana, Connecticut, etc.

Prior to Trump there were many incidents of Jewish cemeteries being vandalized.

The attempt to blame it on Trump is Democratic Party spin.

Good grief.

It would be very politically incorrect to actually solve - these anti-Semitic crimes adn

I said it's not only Trump's fault but his hateful rhetoric contributes to these actions. Yes, it happened when Obama was in office but Obama did not engage in the hateful speech that is so common with Trump. The Southern Poverty Law Center has said that hate groups have tripled in the last year. Trump is giving legitimacy to these actions and emboldening the members of these groups.

At one point, the SPLC had Dr. Ben Carson on their - "hater" list. He apparently made the

[ In Reply To ..]
list apparently for his views on traditional marriage.

They use their public reputation in fighting the Klan to extend the franchise to launch a politically motivated attack against groups on the right. Their judgment is repeated in the MSM as if they were an impartial judgmental body on bigotry.

There is a squadron of editors at Wikipedia that strike down almost any criticism of the SPLC. But there are people trying to get the truth inserted.

This happened during Obama's term too, yet there was - no uproar, no mass media attention, no

[ In Reply To ..]
social media frenzy.

Given this long history, why is it only now that the problem is all over the media? We know the answer to that question.

Trump didn’t cause the problem, but Trump is the cause of the media attention. It’s exploitation of anti-Semitism by people who never cared about anti-Semitism but now see political opportunity.

Last night's NPR segment on this quoted from people at the cemetary - blaming Trump for the vandalism,

despite no evidence and all the other possibilities of varying probability that spring to mind.

There's something fishy about this.

I find nothing - fishy about this

[ In Reply To ..]
Maybe they were blaming Trump. The right blames Obama and Hillary for a lot of things. People are people and find blame in whoever they are going to find blame in for whatever their reason.

This started as a story about Pence doing a nice thing. Someone added that the Muslim group helped too along with other volunteers. Maybe we could just leave it at a nice story of people helping people.

While I personally appreciate - sm

your very sensible and levelhead post, the trump fans don't care. All they care about is finding articles that suit them, bashing Obama and Clinton as if they were still in office and crying "FAKE NEWS" every chance they get. They say nothing of substance. Just "winning", "sore losers" "MAGA" (which hasn't even happened) and "educate yourself" as if anything they say even makes sense. What I've learned is if it looks like a positive post and not just typical hate that they spew, I'll read it. If not, why even bother. Listening to their rhetoric isn't worth the time of day.

Thank you for your - post

I know the right only believes what that bag of hot air throws at them but I have to speak my mind anyway.

You have a wonderful day

Linda Sarsour, organizer of women's march against Trump and - Democrat Party activist,

[ In Reply To ..]
has jumped on board with the media currently playing up the JCC bomb threats and the vandalism of a Jewish cemetery.

There's just one problem. Linda Sarsour has defended actual synagogue bombers.

Do you have facts...sm - Anon

[ In Reply To ..]
to back up your accusation? How did she defend synagogue bombers?

Here's one...Linda Sarsour and the media supported - Synagogue Bombers

[ In Reply To ..]
The media is currently playing up the JCC bomb threats and the vandalism of a Jewish cemetery for partisan political purposes. Linda Sarsour, an anti-Semitic bigot, has cynically jumped on board with a fundraising publicity stunt.

There's just one problem.

Linda Sarsour has defended actual synagogue bombers. She has claimed that the Islamic terror plots of Ahmed Ferhani and James Cromitie were due to law enforcement entrapment. She referred to Ferhani sympathetically as a "boy" or a "kid".

At his trial, Ahmed Ferhani had boasted, "I intended to create chaos and send a message of intimidation and coercion to the Jewish population of New York City."

“Look at the Jewish guy. You’re not smiling no more, you f___r. I hate those bastards. I hate those m______s. Those f____g Jewish bastards. I’d like to get one of those. I’d like to get a synagogue. Me. Yeah. Personally,” James Cromitie had ranted.

Linda Sarsour is blatantly bigoted. She has praised the racist Islamic practice of throwing stones at Jews and declared that she could only be friends with Jews who oppose Israel.

But the media was just as eager to whitewash Ahmed Ferhani and James Cromitie. There is a long history of media "tolerance" for attacks on synagogues and Jewish sites when they are carried out by Muslims.

In New York City, a year before September 11, Muslims threw firebombs at a synagogue in the Bronx. “A bias-motivated attempt to firebomb a synagogue?” the New York Times asked. “Or a misguided message critical of Israeli policies against Palestinians?”

The sudden outpouring of concern over anti-Semitism and attacks on Jewish facilities is phony. The media currently opposes burning and bombing synagogues. It hasn't always.

.
This is how CNN's Matthew Chance reported the Muslim torching of a synagogue in Israel.

"This structure behind me --very controversial because it is the Jewish synagogue in the middle of Netzarim. The Israeli cabinet, of course, voting to leave those synagogues standing, very much angering the Palestinian Authority, because they know that these buildings are seen very much by the vast majority of Palestinians as potent symbols of the Israeli occupation and could not be protected or even left standing. And so we're seeing very sensitive scenes here over the past few hours as the Palestinian security forces move the civilians out of that synagogue and move their bulldozers in to take away these structures, again, seen as hated symbols of the Israeli occupation. So these are scenes that are very sensitive to the Palestinian Authority. And also an aspect that's really kind of tainted the sense of victory, the sense of relief amongst the Palestinians that the Israelis are finally gone..."

This is how Reuters reported it...

Attacking symbols of the hated Israeli occupation, youths set ablaze several of the synagogues

The Philadelphia Inquirer referred to Palestinian torching of the settlements as "protest fires": The Los Angeles Times referred to Palestinian destruction of the Jewish synagogues as "fury against the occupation":

If these attacks turn out to be the work of Muslims, the New York Times will ask, “A bias-motivated vandalism of a cemetery? Or a misguided message critical of Israeli policies against Palestinians?”

It's happened all throughout history - Resist

in all countries and in many forms. The difference between Obama and Trump is that Obama's speeches did not contribute to or legitimize the hatred the way Trump does. Trump validates the hatred every time he tells his audience to ban Muslims, throw out Mexicans, etc. I hope his followers don't start attacking judges and members of the press.

Maybe an effort to distance himself from the "bad" cops. Maybe helps Ferguson in their civil rights law suit. And, IMO, (and only my opinion) they might just indict Darren Wilson after all. Frankly, if there is any culpability at all, it makes sense to save the city and hang Wilson out, guilty or not.
