"'President Trump is not responsible for the anti-Semitism that has existed really in the United States in an increased fashion over the last couple of decades,' says Israeli Ambassador to the U.S. Ron Dermer" https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/ar...anger-wake-Pittsburgh-synagogue-shooting.html

Dermer further stated:
"Dermer blamed the rise of anti-Jewish fervor on social media platforms that allow fringe groups to organize.
He said Trump's remarks on Saturday, just hours after the shooting, show the president has a take-no-prisoners attitude to attacks lauched against Americans because of their faiths.
'I've been following anti-Semitism and leaders, statments against anti-Semitism for 20, 25 years. I have never heard a statement the likes of which I heard yesterday from President Trump,' Dermer said, 'where he said [to] those who are trying to destroy the Jewish people, we will destroy them.'
'I heard it applauded by all of Trump's supporters at that rally,' he added.
The president said Saturday before speaking in Indiana that 'this wicked act of mass murder is pure evil, hard to believe, and frankly something that is unimaginable.'"
