Much to do about nothing, but the opportunists on the left spin it with all that they’ve got.
Even the ADL which should know better (laying baseless charges which diminishes the severity of actual Jew hatred) wades in with mouth flapping. Leftism 1st, the actual reason why they’ve formed as an organization…..a distant 2nd or even 3rd.
I agree with an Israeli colleague/friend of mine, this is pure opportunism. If the star was blue, maybe they might have a case, and that’s a maybe, but the charge was about corruption, and sheriffs badge is a six pointed star…..That is the point behind using the symbol.
At worst, one might say a better symbol could have been used, but then again, law enforcement doesn’t use five or 7 pointed stars very often, the six pointed star is the most common.
From the Israeli leftist rag Haaretz:
Trump Quickly Replaces Tweet That Prompted Cries of anti-Semitism Online
‘Trump’s new anti-Hilary ad is a pile of money overlaid with her face & a star of david,’ wrote Max Fisher of the original image. ‘Wonder what the message is?’

But nothing is said about this in the media, not much at least:
Hillary’s Email Trail of Troubling Anti-Israel Conversations
Clinton praised professional Israel hater Max Blumenthal as ‘powerful and touching’

Sidney Blumenthal has been an intimate family friend to Hillary Clinton for two decades, and the emails between them show late night calls, social visits to one another’s home, and all the informality expected of two close and trusted friends. We know Mr. Blumenthal was a senior adviser to Ms. Clinton during her 2008 campaign for the presidency and would have continued during her time as secretary of state had his appointment not been stopped by President Obama’s staff due to Mr. Blumenthal’s penchant for nasty campaign tactics.
Nonetheless, Ms. Clinton valued Mr. Blumenthal’s advice to such a degree that she secretly hired him as a private advisor, paying him $120,000 a year for his services.
A number of columns have been written exposing how Mr. Blumenthal sent articles to Ms. Clinton from his son Max, one of America’s most notorious Israel haters. Ms. Clinton responded very favorably to them. Some of these writings would later be the basis for Max’s anti-Semitic Goliath, whose book launch was thrown by Sid at his own home. The disgraceful writings compare Israel to the Nazis, call for the expulsion of the Jews from Israel and whitewash Palestinian terrorism. For good measure Max also compares the Israel Defense Forces to the SS.
Trump’s never been a donor to a group that celebrated the killing of Jews. And yet you have. What grotesque chutzpah https://t.co/7r4Qw4kPPJ

The red six-pointed star is NOT a Magen David (Star of David).
There! That was simple.
