Tree of Life Synagogue killer of 11 Jews on October 27, 2018, in Pittsburg, was recently sentenced to death. Jew-hatred is not going away. It is, in fact, ramping up right here in the US and in ways we may not recognize so easily.

She rejected the idea that President Donald Trump bore any blame for the attack, adding that she believed the country’s divisions began in earnest during the Obama presidency.
She added that her own family’s experience in the Holocaust had taught her the importance of firearms ownership as a protection against tyranny.
