They Attacked Trump now Silence on Left Anti-Semitisim
Jews across the USA are targeted by anti semitic attacks and the left and the democrats refuse to call out members of their own party for fueling these attacks. There is an ad campaign in the jewish media calling out Chuck Schumer for his silence. (See below)
During the Trump presidency some frum Jewish leaders and journalists joined the left and attacked President Trump for his mean tweets and for embolding the KKK at a rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. They wanted him to take a stronger stand against the white supremacist and neo-Nazi groups. Trump condemned the groups but it was not enough for them and they joined the left media blaming trump for anti semitism. They said things would calm down under Biden, Instead you had the Squad in congress and other senators trying to stop the USA from sending money to protect jews in Israel.
The Anti Trumpers blamed the violence on anti Israel propaganda due to the gaza war but try to excuse that it is not really anti semitism. They tweeted “While it’s unfortunate and illogical, some Palestinian activists seem not only prone to violence but to conflating all identifiable Jews with Israel,”. Yet frum Jews are beaten in the streets of Brooklyn and elsewhere for the very fact that they are Jews. Commentator Talk radio host Aaron Klein put it this way "Ultimately it is the purveyors of anti-Israel propaganda that feed antisemitism,they are just as responsible for the violent consequences as the hapless miscreants on the streets of America and Europe attacking Jews for the simple fact that they exist.

History of כ' סיון the 20th of Sivan
By Rav Yirmiyohu Kaganoff
"The selichos for the 20th of Sivan consist of seven passages and seven recitations of the thirteen midos of Hashem, which is comparable to what we do at neilah on Yom Kippur. Thus, in some aspects, the 20th of Sivan was treated with more reverence than were the fast days that are mentioned in Tanach"
This date is associated with two major tragedies that befell European Jewry. The earlier catastrophe, which occurred in the 12th Century, was recorded in a contemporary chronicle entitled Emek Habacha, and also in a selicha entitled Emunei Shelumei Yisrael, from which I have drawn most of the information regarding this tragic event.
