My Letter to jpost.com on Trump's Travel Ban

They printed my pro-Trump letter today:
Dear Editor,
I read with dismay that many prominent Jews and Jewish organizations find it offensive that President Donald Trump issued his ban during Holocaust Remembrance Day. In my opinion, one could not pick a more appropriate occasion.

President Trump recognizes in a stark and morally centered way the threat posed by Islamic terrorism.

He has referred to suicide bombers with obvious emotion as "rats." Indeed they are, and hooray for President Trump! Seeing as Jews are Enemy Number One of the people Trump disdains and wants to exclude, his action is one that protects Jews from possible harm. The appropriate reaction should be one of gratitude and relief that we finally have a president who takes Jewish, and American, security concerns seriously.
