President Trump Comments on New Jersey Shooting, Vows to Combat Anti-Semitism

U.S. President Donald Trump commented on the New Jersey shooting, Wednesday, December 11, during a hannukah reception at the White House, one day after an attack at a kosher market left six people, including two suspects, dead.
An executive order issued by President Trump interpreting members of the Jewish religion as part of a distinct nationality is intended to help battle growing anti-Semitism on U.S. college campuses.
Some major Jewish organizations hailed Wednesday’s action because it means universities could lose federal funding if they do not stop discrimination against Jews on their campuses. Others said they were uncomfortable with government action to create an ethnic categorization, and they also worried about its potential to suppress free speech at schools.
"This is a very critically important move made by the president of the United States that will set an environment wherein Jewish students who were targeted with anti-Semitism on university campuses in America will actually have some semblance of protection and recourse," said Rabbi Abraham Cooper of the Simon Wiesenthal Center, a major Jewish human rights organization.

[europaeuropa]

171 thumbed it down are racist haters.

[husbandmanmediator]

Why are they smiling it isn't funny.

[ericginpa]

Why do ppl automatically assume it was racially motivated because it was a Jewish market? If they were fleeing from the police and holed up in a Haitian market or a Korean market nobody would jump to that conclusion

The crew of USS Liberty thanks you, President Trump! Our brothers are all in celebration tonight! Check out our live-feed by searching "dancing Israelites"!

[Oogabooga-]

Has he actually done anything to combat mass shootings or does he just keep saying "we're working very hard on it" and forget about it the next day?

[lowemichael]

This was a terrible thing that happened in New Jersey, however is one thing I don't understand why do they call people anti-Semitic when it deals with Jews. Semitic deals with afro-asiatic, so for someone to be anti-semitic that would mean that they are against black people Asian people. SMH these people are ashkenazi Jews, they are people who adopted the ways of the real Jews the original Jews and converted their self to Judaism. So the correct term should be anti-ashkenazi not anti-Semitic no black people were killed in that shooting.

[babaduke]

A lot of smiles beaming from that stage.
