    US Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff says Jews learned who their real friends
    were in the aftermath of Hamas’s October 7 terror onslaught.

    “As American Jews, I think the feeling is one of aloneness and being
    hated and being unmoored,” Emhoff says while speaking on a panel about antisemitism at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

    “We kind of saw who our friends were and who our friends weren’t, and
    there were too many in the ‘weren’t’ category, some who we thought were friends. It’s just shocking,” laments Emhoff, who is the first Jewish spouse of a US president or vice president.

    Emoff calls it "a crisis of antisemitism since Oct. 7" that has consumed
    most of what he's been doing as second gentleman.

    "There are far too many people in positions of power in the country, in
    the world, who shamefully stay silent when noise is required."

    I know that the 2nd Gentleman is irrelevant as his is wife -- but this
    is a "shocking" thing to say in public (although everyone knows its
    true). Obviously, they didnt say to him -- "name names." The reason is
    that most of the people (if not all of the people) who we "thought" were
    our friends but were not -- were and are on the left.

    Including Ella Emhoff, his non-Jewish daughter who supports Hamas.
