PO2 Robert Aitchison desecrating the burial of anyone of any faith is unconscionable. It should not be tolerated. With so many good reasons to dislike people, being Jewish, Muslim, Christian, or any other faith is not among them. It is part of the problem globally. Too many people think that if a person is different they should be ostracized at best, eliminated at worst. The world would be a much better place if people would live and let live. That is just fantasy. I guess one of the benefits of growing up in an isolated community is that you learn early that hate based on the superficial is detrimental to life.

Most of the violence we see in society today is from the hands of leftist ideologues be they Antifa, BLM, Occupy or a host of others.

Neo-Nazis are not far-right. They are far-left. There is nothing about the original NAZI party or modern wantabes that is anywhere close to conservative or libertarian political philosophy. Socialism is the essential pillar of the NAZI party. Same can be said for AntiFa thugs who are modern Stalinist.
Article implies that Pres. Trump has something to do with their claims of anti-Semitism. The President has Jewish family members and is the strongest supporter of Israel since it became a modern state. White Christians are the largest group who support the Jewish state.
"The root word Semite gives the false impression that anti-semitism is directed against all Semitic people, e.g., including Arabs and Assyrians. The compound word ant-isemite was popularized in Germany in 1879 as a scientific-sounding term for Judenhass ("Jew-hatred"), and that has been its common use since then." Source: Bein, Alex (1990).

PO2 Robert Aitchison
The President called the marchers in Charlottesville "Very fine people", these same "very fine people were marching under Nazi flags and chanting "Jews will not replace us".
The President may not be intentionally emboldening these people but he's absolutely been pandering to racists from the dawn of his Presidential campaign through the present. Getting these racists worked up in a froth about "illegals" helped get him elected and they remain some of his staunchest supporters but they are also very frequently anti-Semitic as well.
