Dark Irony In Trump's Anti-Semitism And Elie Wiesel's Death

There is something very dark about the fact that Donald Trump’s blatantly anti-Semitic tweet comes out on the very same day Elie Wiesel dies. It is frightening that a certain section of this country wants to return to the “good old days” of the 1950s with all its racism, anti-Semitism, gay-bashing, and misogyny. What’s even more frightening is the intentional fueling of these hatreds by one of our major political parties. But Mr. Wiesel knew better than most that the battle against these dark forces must continually be fought – he spent his lifetime doing so.
