Exactly as it is doing with another phony-baloney Israel-only shibboleth: that one can be born in one country, and yet be a refugee from another country

"I want all those people who think Trump is Hitler to explain how this could possibly happen with Hitler in charge."
No Democrat would do this, certainly not Obama. Yet why do so many Jews vote Democrat?
