Both claim that successful people have "too much" because they "oppress" or "exploit" those with too little. Both blame others for every problem in their lives and every evil in the world rather than working to make their own lives better. https://youtu.be/_n5dtHlJ2XY?si=BrhVkBZyQXhzuY0B Two good people were killed in Mays Landing last Saturday because we have allowed our democracy to become totally useless and dysfunctional. President Trump created $10 trillion of our $40 trillion federal government debt. He didn't have to do that. He had choices. Why did the pro-Israel "AIPAC" lobby help defeat Tom Massie? Massie is a fiscal conservative and longtime member of the Freedom Caucus who tried to cut spending and balance the budget. Short answer: President Trump hated Massie and wanted to get him out of Congress.  It is now normal for almost every organized lobbying group to help elect bad politicians and defeat good ones so they can get what they want from the government.

Morton Klein, the President of the ZOA, the Zionist Organization of America will be speaking at 7pm  this Sunday night at the Rodef Sholom Synagogue at Plaza Place and Atlantic Avenue, in Atlantic City.

JOHN DEMASI:  What is the reason? Why is there so much antisemitism? - I know you could talk for an hour - about this, but what do you know about it?

It also teaches people to blame and hate a small group of other people for every problem or evil in the world, instead of taking responsibility and working to make thins better.
