Another thing, is I don't see how Trumps remarks about Jewish people not caring enough about Israel is anti-semetic of him. If Trump is pro-Israel, than that would make him Pro-semetic, wouldn't it? It sounds to me like he is Pro-semetic, and is harping on American Jewish people for not being as Pro-semetic as him for the Jewish population of Israel. Or at least that is what it seems to come across as to me.
It IS a bit of a seeming contradiction. He manages to be pro Israel and sound antisemitc, at the same time.
What he did was repeat old antisemitic tropes about how the "Jews control everything".
Trump says "Jews control the media, and because they control the media, they control Congress". But then he laments about how now Jews arent using their all encompassing power to support Israel anymore.
Kinda like when Jagger sings "you dont try very hard to please me. With what you know it should be easy."
