Whatever else he may be, the President is certainly not antisemitic as evidenced by his family connections and his support of Israel amongst other things. Those who vilify others for their views alone should be ashamed of themselves. After all antisemitism and attacks on Jews have existed for over two thousand years. We should be far more focused on the current rise in antisemitism than scoring political points before the tragic victims have even been buried – May their memories be blessed.
