Antifa against neo-Nazis. Trump held three press conferences where he condemned the neo-Nazis. In the third, he tried to differentiate between the rioters from Antifa and the neo-Nazis from demonstrators on both the left and the right who had come to Charlottesville to sup- port and protest a decision by the Charlottesville city council to remove a statue of Confederate General Robert E. Lee from a pub- lic park. While condemning the neo-Nazis and their anarchist counterparts, Trump noted that there were “also very fine people on both sides.” And for that remark, which was nothing more than a statement of fact, Jewish progressives, Democrats, the media and Joe Biden continue to libel him as an anti-Semite and a racist. The Left’s denunciations of Trump as an anti-Semite have come at the same time that the Democrat Party’s hostility towards Israel and its supporters in America has become more pronounced with each passing day. Leftist anti- Semites have captured the party’s base and control the progressive grassroots. They have intimidated pro-Israel Democrats into near silence on Israel and have made hat- ing Israel an electoral advantage in primary races. The Left’s rejection of Israel is now so overwhelming that last month, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez cancelled her participation in a Peace Now memorial marking the 25th anniversary of former prime minister Yitzhak Rabin’s assassination. Her move demon- strated that even Jewish progres- sives and an Israeli Nobel Peace Prize laureate who was killed for his efforts to appease the PLO are beyond the Pale for progressives today. Only Jews who reject Israel’s right to exist are acceptable among the smart set in the party. The Left’s embrace of anti- Semitism demonstrates that its hys- terical claims that Trump loves Nazis is nothing more than projec- tion. And this isn’t surprising. Since 2016, the Democrats have repeatedly projected all of their prejudices, malicious actions and plans onto Trump and the Republicans. Consider the issue of collusion with Russia. During the debate, Biden accused Trump of being “Putin’s poodle.” But just hours before, Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe sent a letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee revealing that in July 2016, American intelligence agen- cies “obtained insight” into an analysis by Russian intelligence officers that claimed then Democrat presidential nominee Hillary Clinton “had approved a plan to stir up a scandal” against Trump which involved “tying [Trump] to Putin.” Clinton’s campaign paid for the infamous Steele dossier alleging corrupt ties between Trump and the Kremlin. The dirt file was compiled by former British spy Christopher Steele. It recently came to light that Steele’s primary source for his file was investigated by the FBI as a Russian spy. In other words, the collusion that Clinton and later the FBI, CIA, the Democrat Party, the media and a special prosecutor accused Trump of carrying out with the Kremlin was actually conducted by Clinton and her campaign with active assis- tance from the CIA, FBI, the media and the Democrat Party against Trump. In accusing Trump, they were describing their own actions. T he projection of Democratic plans onto the Republicans continues still today. Indeed, their campaign is organized around a new one. In early August, senior Democrat operatives held a series of election simula- tions. In all of the scenar- ios tested, the only elec- toral outcome that the Democrats were willing to accept was a clear victory for Biden. All other out- comes, including a repeat of the 2016 election results where the Democrat candi- date received more overall votes but Trump won in the electoral college were rejected by Democrat activists and political lead- ers alike. The “Biden” in the simulation refused to concede the race. Democrat gover- nors pledged to reject their voters’ verdict and to send pro-Biden elec- tors to the electoral college. Three Democrat-run states announced they were seceding from the United States. Democrat activists began rioting countrywide. In one sce- nario, the Pentagon sent troops to the White House to forcibly remove Trump from the premises. The notable aspect of the scenar- ios was their familiarity. Aside from the fact that Clinton did concede the election four years ago and no one seceded from the union, all the other things happened. Democrats rioted and protested. Democrat law- makers impeached Trump over nothing. For the past four years, Democrats at all levels have referred to themselves as “the resistance” rather than the opposi- tion because they reject the legiti- macy of Trump’s presidency. Shortly after the simulation was held, Clinton advised Biden not to concede the race. A group of Democrat former generals sent a warning letter to the Joint Chiefs of Staff noting that they are duty bound to uphold the Constitution which means ensuring that the elec- tion results are fulfilled. All of these actions point to a basic fact. As was the case in 2016 and ever since, if Trump wins the election, the Democrats will refuse to accept the results. Their activists will riot and their leadership will Smear continued from page 19 Trump had condemned white supremacists twice in the same exchange, but Biden not leftist rioters. 22 JEWISH WORLD • OCTOBER 16-22, 2020 The two Presidential candidates confront each other, but only Trump seems attacked by media. continued on page 13
