She came to America with her parents 26-years ago to escape from anti-semitism in Russia. Since then Julia Ioffe has established herself as a journalist writing for the New York Times Magazine, Foreign Policy, The New Republic and other news outlets.
However a recent profile of the next former Mrs. Donald J. Trump, Melania, Ioffe wrote for GQ, has earned her a barrage of anti-semitic hate mail from Trump supporters.
Here are a couple of photos she's received:
The sender of this one advised her to swallow her diamonds.

ReplyDeleteAnyong said......when people are treated as if they don't matter only the wealthy matter and the poor and middle class...yes middle class, have their labour stolen from them, they begin showing their anger. This is set up time for someone like Trump to come along and walla, it is ripe for WWIII. That is what happened during WWII.
