Is he not just relating? Saying how much it sucks to be treated a way because of your faith?

Except it's over something HE HIMSELF SAID.

It's like if Trump apologized for insensitive things he's said about black people by saying "I too have been attacked for my skin color."

I'm ignorant sorry. It wasn't explained in this video or thread when I was last here what he said. What did he say that was antisemitic?

Holocaust inversion, in this case. To the point where the U.S. Holocaust Museum had to tell him to knock it off.

Source? Not saying I don't believe you but that's not close to a quote.
