i'd love to see some examples of 6 pointed stars in advertising/merchandise that were not meant to represent judaism.

so far we've seen just one sticker book.

i actually did find one:

https://www.brandcrap.com/2016/02/19...ft-beer-brand/

turns out the "brewer's star" is exactly the same as the star of david. but, this company combined it ( very well and wisely IMO ) with a "sailor's star" and rotated it so as to differentiate itself from the star of david.

i'm surprised trump hasn't claimed the original intent of the star was to promote micro-brew.

I would like to know how in the world anyone knows that the ONLY place that this image was EVER posted was on some hate site? Or how they know it was created solely for that site and that purpose. It is IMPOSSIBLE to know who originally made it and where it originally came from. Some ass could have found it on social media and posted to some hate site OR some ass could have gotten it from that site and passed it around social media where Trump's people saw it. The entire premise of people thinking they know where it originated, why the creator made it and that Trump's people deliberately took it off that site is completely preposterous.

i have no idea if trump is/isn't an anti-semite. but..... i do believe that he is either trying to thinly "dog whistle" support from bigots and/or intentionally stir up controversy for publicity.

one thing i noticed about kurshner's defense, and also ken kurson's, is that they don't address the action of trump retweeting from an anti-semite source. kurshner just claims that trump is not an anti-semite and kurson states that trump is not responsible for the acts of his followers. neither hold trump and/or his campaign accountable for their actions.

to date there has yet to be a site shown that displayed the image before july 2 that didn't have some degree of anti-semitism. if you can find a site, free of anti-semitism, that posted the image before july 2 i'm sure the trump campaign would be very pleased ( probably give you a nice reward ).

good luck with the hunt.

trump's camp claimed they got the image from an "anti-hillary" site but when asked for specifics couldn't give an answer.

That means absolutely nothing at all. I have websites where MY images don't show up in ANY searches. Search engines aren't complete know-it-alls, to claim they are is another completely preposterous thought.

until trump's camp can provide the name of the site they received the image from this is all the evidence at hand.

Yes you did, by your statement that nothing but hate sites show up for that image in search engines. Talk about a straw man.
