I had many friends that were Jewish and I wished them all a happy Hanukkah as they wished me a Merry Christmas, yes we all need to get along in this world. Brookline Massachusetts? I lived there for 10 years. Maybe you were in another town however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's whether or not he exploits anti-Semitism to advance his own political interests. Right. He's ready to do or say anything, as long as he thinks he can benefit from him. Trump is fully in tune with a part of the electorate. If he's using antisemitism, it means this is a popular topic among his target audience. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably more true about UK/Europe than the USA. In Europe, It's because most of them are unable to distinguish between being against Israel's policies re. Palestinians and anti-semistism. Anyway, it's not the type of anti-Semitism which is prevailing in the U.S. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was shocked, everything I'd ever seen on TV/media was wrong. Edited December 23, 2022 by BritManToo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

placeholder Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 Brookline really isn't anything like Mayberry, though. To call it a small town is misleading It's a suburb of Boston with ample commuter connections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
