First observation: this is unironically the most wildly antisemitic anecdote of the last few presidents AFAIK
Second observation: it's pretty funny to see it clearly spelled out that the US is the one holding the leash.
I'm a Jew (at least I was raised jewish, had a bneimitzvah, yadyada, who the fuck knows about my spirituality/lackthereof now) and it's not immediately clear to me why it's antisemitic to force a head of state break sabbath. It's been more than a decade since I read a translation, but does the Torah not explicitly permit breaking the sabbath in times of emergency or is that a talmudic or more modern opinion?
Am I missing a blind spot (in my own perspective) here?
Ah well I just found the part where they basically said they dgaf about the Shabbat that's very disrespectful.
"Witkoff" is 100% a Jewish surname
