Ep 48 | The Divine & The Diabolical: Jews Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow & Trump Hatred: C’mon, admit it. You have noticed that the majority of the names leading the congressional crusade against President Trump are Jewish. Is this an anti-Semitic observation? No, it’s true.

Do you know how that relates to America’s Jewish population? The secret of why only two of the Jewish representatives are Republicans. What makes a Jew a Jew? (Hint: It’s not having a Jewish mother!) Why so many 20th century communist leaders in Russia, Germany, Hungary, and elsewhere were Jewish. Yes, Leon Trotsky’s real name was Davidovich Bronstein. Why there is no such thing as ‘the American Jewish community’. What British prime minister, Benjamin Disraeli, said about Jews. In relationships, shared values matter far mor by Rabbi Daniel Lapin
