I don't read it as Bend The Arc calling Trump anti-semitic.
I interpet it more as them denouncing Trump's words which they feel empower white nationalists and contribute to a climate of hate/dissent that emboldens white nationalists to perpetrate violence.
Eleven Jewish parishioners were killed by someone who hated them for helping immigrants settle in this country, according to the killer's own words.
Anyway, I understand and respect the words and feelings expressed in the letter. But, I expect Trump won't denounce white nationalism and won't let it go.
He'll instead most likely present himself as a victim of liberal Jews, trot out Jewish people who support him, and blame the media. That would be true to form. I hope he surprises me, but doubt it.
