Haaretz
Warns American Jews of Trump’s Downfall

Haaretz delivered
a warning today to American Jewry. “If
Trump falls, the testimonies of Cohen, Pecker and Weisselberg could
spark an anti-Semitic Backlash.”
Many
have passed through the Trump Administration’s revolving door and
faded away quietly but those who may bring the president down
are “the
lawyer-fixer (Michael Cohen), the smut-dealing publisher (David
Pecker) and the numbers whiz who knows it all (Alan
Weisselberg).” Prominent
Haaretz correspondent Chemi Shalev is honest enough to openly
acknowledge that “the
trio’s public profile is a Jewish stereotype.”
Shalev
dared to write the article every other political analyst has dreaded
putting into words let alone text. “The
name of the lawyer who implicated Donald
Trump in
the commission of federal crimes is Cohen. The name of the publisher
who has agreed to tell investigators how he turned his newspaper into
a clearinghouse for Cohen’s payments to women is Pecker. And the
name of the accountant who has been granted immunity in order to
testify about the role played by the Trump Organization in Cohen’s
endeavors is Weisselberg. The common denominators of Cohen, Pecker
and Weisselberg, beside their willingness to do whatever it takes for
Trump in the past and their apparent willingness to inform on him
now, is that all three are indisputably and recognizably Jewish.”
If
you wonder why no one in America was courageous enough to write
about Trump being betrayed by his closest Jewish aids, Shalev’s
answer is “anyone
who does so risks being accused of generalizing, if not actively
encouraging anti-Semitism.”
But this is just the first stage in this saga according to Haaretz’s
correspondent. “Somewhere
down the line. The racist, supremacist and neo-Nazi element of
Trump’s base is already drooling at the impending opportunity of
enlisting disgruntled rank and file Trump fans in a battle against
the Jewish conspiracy aimed at their idol.”
Shalev
realises that Trump’s days are numbered. And he believes the
actions of Cohen, Pecker and Wiesselberg make Trump’s political
survival unlikely. “Cohen’s
admissions in a New York courtroom last
week that his payments to porn’s Stormy Daniels and Playboy’s
Karen MacDougal were made in accordance with Trump’s instructions
have cast the President as a criminal who violated campaign finance
laws. Pecker’s testimony could reportedly make clear that the two
payments were
part of a nefarious system.
And Weisselberg’s
account,
though currently limited to Cohen’s payments, could pave the way to
exposure of the long line of alleged misdeeds carried out by Trump as
real estate mogul, franchising czar, reality star, presidential
candidate and commander in chief.”
When
Trump was elected some saw him as the “First
Jewish President,” At
the moment it looks as if it his Trump’s closest Jewish aides who
may provide the final nails in his presidential coffin.
Enacting astute Jewish pre traumatic instinct, Shalev notes
that “Trump
repeatedly and profusely praises Paul Manafort, who isn’t Jewish,
for remaining loyal despite the past and future convictions awaiting
him. Cohen, Pecker and Weisselberg, who sound like a stand-up’s
Jewish law firm, are, by implication, part of the vast conspiracy…
that seeks to bring the President down and to undermine the voters’
verdict.”
Shalev
uses the clearest possible language. “If
Trump emerges unscathed, a scenario that seems increasingly unlikely,
fears of anti-Semitic backlash could recede. If Trump is impeached,
or forced to resign, or impaired in any other way, shape or form, the
outrage against his incriminators and their common heritage could
turn into a clear and present danger for American Jews.” You ask,
‘what about Israel?’ Shalev doesn’t shy away from the
question. “The American right’s adoration of Israel won’t
be an obstacle: Many of Trump’s constituents, like Netanyahu’s,
can easily ignore the common bonds between Israel and its greatest
Diaspora. Israel is the country of proud and nationalistic Jew-heroes
that man the West’s forward outpost against radical Islam and who
play a critical role in advancing the End of Days.”
Maybe
the above explains the Trump
administration’s indication yesterday
that it is set to announce it rejects Palestinian ‘right of
return.’ If Shalev is correct then the message here could be
interpreted as follows -- we are still supporting Israel, Zionism, we
are totally anti Palestinians, Arabs and Muslims but we don’t trust
Jews either. This is, in fact, a common Zionist anti Semitic
position. i.e., ‘We like and support Jews as long as they are
somewhere else, preferably Zion.’
According
to Shalev, “from
the moment Cohen turned his back on Trump, and more so since Pecker
and Weisselberg apparently joined him, the neo-Nazi network is busy
preparing the flip side of the coin, the analogy that could impress
Trump’s followers, if he falters: The three are portrayed as
successors to Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Jesus to authorities.” I
guess that you have noticed that while Shalev seems to be comfortable
pointing at the ethnicity of Cohen, Pecker and Weisselberg he seems
to refer to Goyim who do the same as ‘neo-Nazis’ and
‘supremacists.’
Shalev
writes that before Trump’s elections, “American
Jewish organizations were quick to call out Trump for the suspected
anti-Semitic messages in his statements and campaign.” But their
voices receded “with the prodding of Netanyahu and the vouching of
Sheldon Adelson… Trump’s disturbing words were swept under the
carpet of his decidedly pro-Israeli polices.” Trump’s
allegedly Jew-hating supporters were somehow ignored by the American
media.
However,
this may change very soon. “The
Jewishness of the three former Trump aides who have now decided to
testify against him could mar the artificial tranquillity and, in a
worst-case scenario, spark a dangerous wave of anti-Semitism.
American Jewish leaders would do well to prepare for such a stormy
day, as would Netanyahu, who has placed all of his prestige on Trump
and the American right.”
Shalev
sarcastically suggests that “if
Netanyahu is forced to choose between the administration’s
pro-settler, anti-Palestinian policies and his duty to fight
anti-Semitism and stand up for beleaguered American Jews, they
(America Jews) would do well to start seeking their salvation
elsewhere.”
Havoc
ahead, sums it up.
