Stop calling Zionists "Fascists" and "Nazis
Reader comment on item: There's a Name for Trump's Brand of Politics: Neo-fascism
in response to reader comment: Scholars beginning to worry about Trump
Submitted by Michael S (United States), Jun 6, 2016 at 17:12
There's something really distasteful, about presumed pro-Israel people calling the most pro-Israel candidate in the field a "fascist". I thank God that Trump isn't Jewish, or these Jews would be painting swastikas on his picture.
It's time for the "Never Trump" camp to stop being sore losers, lick their wounds and start acting like politically serious people. If they can't grow up, Hillary will choose our next Supreme Court justices, and we can kiss goodby to democracy.
Let me make this clear: Zionists are not Nazis nor Fascists; Netanyahu is not Hitler; Trump is not Mussolini. You all ought to know where that stuff comes from.
