Hey Alan B,

Re: Russian Mafia.

"Despite his alignment with the racist right, Trump has professed ultra-right views on Israel. His connections with Israel also extend to his broad ties with the Russian mafia, many of whom hold dual citizenship in Israel. The Russian mafia is closely associated with Chabad-Lubavitch, a Hasidic movement that derived originally from Sabbateanism. The Zohar and the Kabbalah of Rabbi Isaac Luria, are frequently cited in Chabad works. Although the Chabad Lubavitcher movement is often listed as a part of Orthodox Judaism, it has often been condemned as heretical by traditional Jews. Rabbi David Berger, a highly popular figure in Modern Orthodox circles, wrote The Rebbe, the Messiah, and the Scandal of Orthodox Indifference, criticizing Lubavitcher messianism as “precisely what Jews through the generations have seen as classic, Christian-style false messianism.” His views are shared and supported by many prominent Orthodox authorities. In the 1980’s and early 1990's, Rabbi Eliezer Menachem Schach, a leader of the strictly Orthodox Jews in Israel who wielded powerful influence over the country’s politics for more than two decades, waged a campaign against the Lubavitcher movement. The messianic claim, Rabbi Schach said, was “total heresy,” adding that those making it “will burn in hell."

Ex-general likens Israel to Nazi Germany
http://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20191004-ex-general-likens-israel-to-nazi-germany/
In an interview with Radio Darom, the newly elected member of the Knesset, representing the Democratic Union alliance, said: “I’m reminding people that the Nazis came to power democratically, so we have to be careful, very careful, so that extremist figures with a messianic view won’t exploit Israeli democracy to replace the system of government.”

Keyword: Messianic.

Yes, Armchair, point taken/well made and it has a lookalike SS army as well and a right-wing PM who refuses to step down as his only defence against alleged corruption. Makes one want to click heels and say seig heil, doesn't it?

As for Unca Donald? There's an old saying, where there's smoke? There's fire! And he's really really upset with this inquiry into his use of public office!?

Unca Donald seems to think what he does with his family as nepotism, is an exclusive privilege for the Trump's and his Israeli son in law? And not Hunter?

Hey Alan B,
I'll also take your point re Trumps own nepotism.
I think the Trump Presidency has just as much to do with Jared Kushner as Senior Advisor to the President than it does about Trump himself being President.

But in regards to the current Ukraine scandal;
- It has more to do with those trying to stop Trump getting info on that pay-to-play server and those behind it, than it does about favours.

Jared Kushner's dad was convicted of illegal campaign contributions, tax evasion, and witness tampering.
