"As a person of Jewish heritage who has personally encountered actual antisemitism, I find it deeply distasteful that this administration would claim to speak for me. And I’m not the only one. Grayzone editor Max Blumenthal was similarly horrified: “Shalom, the Hebrew greeting for peace,” he said, “is being used as a declaration of war and repression of dissent at home… Trump is weaponizing Jews to wage war crimes and repression.” Jamie Beran, a columnist for the Israeli paper Haaretz, has used the apt term “smokescreen antisemitism” to describe what Trump is doing: Using a faux concern for Jewish safety as a shield for his administration’s goals of crushing dissenters of all backgrounds.
A lot of American Jewish groups, thankfully, have recognized the danger of this action and were quick to condemn it. Not only groups like Jewish Voice for Peace and If Not Now, which are openly supportive of the Palestinian cause, but also liberal Zionist groups like J Street and the Jewish Council for Public Affairs have denounced Khalil’s arrest and detention. The same cannot be said, however, for one of America’s largest and most influential Jewish organizations: The Anti-Defamation League. In a post unequivocally praising Khalil’s arrest, the ADL called for “swift and severe consequences for those who provide material support to foreign terrorist organizations, incite violence in support of terrorist activities, or conceal their identities in order to harass and intimidate Jewish individuals and institutions with impunity.” It should be noted that Khalil has not actually been charged with providing “material support” for terrorism, “inciting violence,” or “concealing” his identity to harass people. (What was that about being against defamation?) This would be par for the course for a group like the ADL, which has long sought to conflate any criticism of Israeli policy with antisemitism."

Exactly, if people can't even use the most basic tools. They should reconsider running a country. Wasn't Orange Man bubbling something about IQ, etc.? Those people are unqualified to run an elementary class. 
Let alone a country
