Israel/Zionism See other Israel/Zionism Articles Title: Trump's Jewish Ties May Be Key to Moscow's Outreach RI... Despite accusations of xenophobia, Trump maintains good relations with the Jewish community and intends to involve his son-in-law Jared Kushner in his administration A high-ranking and well-informed source has told online Russian news publication Gazeta.ru that in their search for channels of communication with U.S. President-elect Donald Trump, Kremlin representatives have used members of Russia’s Jewish business circles who have contacts with the family of his daughter Ivanka’s husband Jared Kushner, an Orthodox Jew. In an interview with Gazeta.ru, the president of the Russian Jewish Congress, Yury Kanner, said he could neither confirm nor deny reports that the Kremlin had tried to establish communication with Trump via members of the Jewish business community. Emigrate While You Still Can! Learn More... “Generally speaking, attempts to use representatives of global business, including Jewish business, are absolutely normal in this situation. I am convinced: Not only members of the Russian leadership are seeking contacts with Donald Trump,” he said. According to Kanner, following Trump’s victory in the U.S. presidential election, traditional political and diplomatic channels lost their relevance for a while: The elected American leader is a businessman and prior to the election campaign was not involved in politics. The Kremlin’s Jewish channels Kanner confirmed that Trump has links with the Jewish community through his daughter Ivanka: “She converted to Judaism, and Orthodox Judaism at that,” Kanner told Gazeta.ru. “This is strict Judaism, with a large number of rules and prohibitions. And Ivanka observes them all. She shows a strict, serious approach. She observes Shabbat without fail.” Kanner pointed out that the daughter of Trump’s rival Hillary Clinton has also converted to Judaism, but she is far more relaxed about observing religious traditions. It would appear that Hillary Clinton did not have too close links with the Jewish community either. “About seven years ago, when I just started working as president of the Russian Jewish Congress, we came up against a very serious problem. Singer Iosif Kobzon, a very important figure in the Russian Jewish community, had difficulty obtaining a U.S. visa,” said Kanner. “I got in touch with the president of the World Jewish Congress, Ron Lauder, a Republican and a member of a very respected American Jewish family. I asked for his help. Ron promised to discuss it with Hillary Clinton, who was U.S. Secretary of State at the time,” Kanner continued. Lauder had to wait for a month to hear back from Clinton, he went on. “It was an absolutely insulting formal reply advising Kobzon to apply to his local U.S. consulate,” Kanner recalled. “I later decided to get to the bottom of that matter and spent a lot of effort on it. In the end, it turned out that the issue was indeed complicated. But Clinton’s representative, of course, could have shown a bit more respect.” Riven diaspora Trump enjoys far more support inside the Russian-language community in the U.S. than in the country’s Jewish community. Israeli pundit and former executive director of the Russian Jewish Congress Benny Briskin attributes this to the fact that the majority of former Soviet nationals are vehemently opposed to Democrats’ “liberal ideas.” Some of them also hope for an improvement in U.S.-Russian relations. “They believe that good relations between Israel, Russia and the U.S. are good for the global climate. Furthermore, many Russian-speaking Jews think that the main divide today lies not in relations between Russia and Ukraine but in the conflict between the Judeo-Christian and Islamic civilizations,” Briskin explained. That said, according to opinion polls, the majority of members of Jewish organizations voted for Hillary Clinton. A poll conducted by the GBA Strategies agency among American Jews showed that 68 percent of them intended to vote for the Democratic candidate and only 28 percent for Trump. During the 2012 presidential campaign, the allocation of votes was approximately the same: 68 percent for Obama and 31 percent for his Republican opponent Mitt Romney. Except that back then the election victory went to Obama, whereas this time, contrary to all opinion polls, it was Trump who won the White House. During the campaign, some Republicans who opposed Trump tried to persuade Jewish groups not to support the billionaire. On the sidelines of the Republican Party congress last September, a Gazeta.ru correspondent happened to overhear a snatch of a conversation in which a Congressman was trying to persuade his interlocutor “to get guys from AIPAC to oppose Trump.” AIPAC, which stands for the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, is a major Jewish lobby group. Representatives of this organization were indeed strongly opposed to Trump during the election campaign. In March, they even had to apologize for a speech Trump delivered at AIPAC, in which he yet again harshly criticized U.S. President Barack Obama’s policies. “The Jewish community is very diverse. For instance, one of its striking representatives is Bernie Sanders, a senator from Vermont, who too sought presidential nomination in this election and received considerable support,” a Gazeta.ru source said. “He represents a completely different, largely leftist, ideology and is unlikely to become an ally to the elected president.” In the meantime, Jewish Republicans are pinning a lot of hope on Trump. Furthermore, many Middle Eastern commentators expect that Trump intends to 'Israelize' U.S. policy in the region.

During WW II the Einsatzgruppen were shooting Russian Jews in back of head and dumping them in ditches.
You have proof of that apart from the lies from the Soviets?
Look up Babi Yar on your fav search engine. You will see some truth when results come up.
I looked it up and found an article on CODOH which I posted. The Jewish Communists had been killing Gentiles there for years before Hitler arrived.
It has come full circle. First, the Jews were killing Christians and then the Nazis (Christians) were killing Jews.
Young man you are describing the full circle, first the Holodomor occurred, which no one ever heard of, then the Holocaust occurred, something we hear of every day of our lives. It begs the question, how and why is it that EVERYONE is well versed on one but never heard of the other??? Perhaps by intent????
By intent, you say? You bet it is. And I have heard of the Holodomor. I am fairly well versed in history.
Thats why I posed the question. Surprising how many history "teachers" are so shallow in recent history.
The recent Russian seizure of Crimea is no surprise to me. That place has been flashpoint and area of conflict since the height of the British Empire in the 1850s with the charge of the Light Brigade.
Russia did not seize Crimea. The people o Crimea voted to leave the Ukraine after the Jewish coup. Then the people of Crimea voted to join Russia. The people were never asked if they wanted to be part of the Ukraine. You have to stop watching Jewish News on TV.
Have NOT owned a TV or watched TV in over 20 years.
That was in response to the man who told you that he believed the Russians stole Crimea and that the Nazis killed millions of Jews.
