>>>perhaps the title should have been something like "Undeserved blame attributed to Trump for cemetery desecration!" But it wasn't. If it were, then the article should have included links (like it does for other references) to such attribution of undeserved blame in the media. Since it doesn't reference the sources, I consider it just another suggestion based on undocumented opinion expressing outrage at the media and the Democrats. I do not want to acknowledge that suggestion.

This is the rationalization that you required insisting that I comment on the spin attributing blame for cemetery desecration to Trump... and I see that you keep harping at it even though I clearly stated before that my comments were about the lack of uproar invoked during Obama's term.

>(last 2 paragraphs quite useful IMHO)

Are these the paragraphs?
Obama, early in his first term, indicated that Israel was created because of the Holocaust, Oren recalled. “This was a problematic narrative, because it basically denies Jewish history. But we didn’t make a big deal about it. It was a new administration and we had important things to discuss.”
It took Obama several years before publicly setting the record straight, when in a speech to the UN he talked about the millennia-old Jewish roots in the Land of Israel, Oren said. “Let’s give Trump that same opportunity [to correct mistakes] and not jump at every little thing he says.”


Sure, why not. However, when Trump is given that opportunity, he's doubling down on the initial statement. Take that as correcting mistakes.

Up above in the article:
“Too much emphasis is put on what people say, not on what people do. The question is not what’s being said, but what’s being done,” Oren told The Times of Israel. “Yes, there is an uptick in anti-Semitism, but the conversation about it is not going in the right direction.”
In his meetings with bipartisan congressional delegations from the US, Oren said, he is often told that it is less important that hate crimes are condemned and more important that they are stopped. “The question is what is done operatively to combat and prevent them.”
In recent weeks, amid an uptick in anti-Semitic attacks, including dozens of hoax bomb threats to Jewish institutions, various US-Jewish leaders took the new administration to task for ostensibly failing to forcefully denounce rising anti-Semitism there. Trump shouted down an Orthodox Jewish reporter who tried to ask him about the uptick last week, declaring that “I am the least anti-Semitic person.”


I happened to watch that exchange live between Trump and the Jewish reporter. My conclusion: Trump is not anti-Semitic. He was just inadequate in dealing with the issue.
All other references that you posted talk about exactly that: Trump's perceived incompetence in dealing with the issue of antisemitism. They claim that Trump should speak forcefully and convincingly against such sordid activity.
Did you read the WH statement on Holocaust Remembrance Day? No mention of Jews there. Are those noticing it hypersensitive?
http://www.cnn.com/2017/01/28/politics/white-house-holocaust-memorial-day/

From the same article:
While he himself does not agree with the White House explanation for what it called an “inclusive” statement — that other people suffered as well during the Holocaust — Oren said he would not “go out and criticize” the new administration.
Here, Oren gave Trump the opportunity to correct his mistake.

In your other CNN video, with Rick Santorum: Host asking Santorum why hasn't Trump tweeted about the "increase in violence and threats..."
Isn't that a reasonable question? Then, Santorum goes on ranting about Obama... I'm not commenting on that.

Here is my opinion:
Since Trump has spoken so forcefully using xenophobic and divisive rhetoric, should he be expected to speak as emphatically against antisemitic acts? Why does he have to take it personally every time? That's what makes him incompetent when it comes to things like this. This is the guy who claimed that Obama was the founder of ISIS. And yet you want me to comment on a tangential claim about his link to antisemitism. Please! He should be able to handle the criticism...

I'm sure that one could find a lot of crazy stuff on the web and especially on social media, but if you want to be taken seriously you'd have to ignore all that.
Here is an interesting opinion about what one hears when Trump speaks: http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2017/02/22/what-the-jewish-cemetery-attack-and-trump-s-movement-have-in-common.html
