WASHINGTON (JTA) — An Iowa state legislator who quit the Republican Party because of Donald Trump wondered if the candidate’s next target would be Jews.
David Johnson, a state senator, told The Guardian on Tuesday that his breaking point was Trump’s racially tinged attacks on a judge of Mexican parentage presiding over a lawsuit alleging that a defunct Trump enterprise, Trump University, defrauded clients.
“I haven’t supported Mr. Trump at any point along the way, but what I am calling his racist remarks and judicial jihad is the last straw,” said Johnson, who said he would now register as not having a party.
Johnson, who said his father was among the first soldiers to liberate Nazi prison camps at the end of World War II, said he also was offended by Trump’s call to keep Muslims out of the United States and wondered whether Jews were next.

The world’s most intriguing gathering, the Bilderberg Group, is being held in Dresden this week, with the West’s rich and powerful among other things set to meditate on the migrant crisis, the next US president and UK’s referendum on leaving the EU.
Some 126 high-powered figures from 20 countries have made it to the guest list, which the Group made public, along with the agenda of this year’s event. Combined, the two documents give a rather detailed scope on what exactly the attendees of the 64th Bilderberg conference will be mulling over during the upcoming four days.
One of the conference habitués, British Chancellor George Osborne, will pass on this year’s event. Instead, the meeting will have to make do with Irishman Michael O’Leary, the billionaire “bully” boss of the Ryanair airline, as well as 9 high-ups from the UK.
The gathering will be chaired by a French count, Henri de Castries, who is also the CEO of the global insurance and investment giant AXA.
Routinely, this year’s agenda can hardly be called detailed, yet the main points of focus are outlined as European unity, migration, US political landscape, China, the Middle East, Russia and the “precariat and middle class.”
The European migrant crisis, which has been gradually worsening during the past year, is up for discussion, and might become a number one priority for attendees, as with hundreds of thousands of newcomers Europe has gained yet another problem – the voters’ defection to nationalist parties.

A new report has raised concerns about Google’s influence in European politics, revealing a “revolving door” between the tech giant and politicians. It follows research which proved a similar relationship between Google and Washington.
The study, conducted by the Google Transparency Project (GPT), found at least 80 “revolving door” moves over the past decade, finding instances in which Google hired government employees and European governments hired Google staff.

Kurdish troops close in on Manbij, with US air support; Russian-backed Syrian fighters approach from the southwest
BEIRUT (AFP) — Thousands of civilians have fled a stronghold of the Islamic State group in northern Syria almost surrounded by US-backed fighters seeking to cut a key supply lifeline for the jihadists.
The Arab-Kurdish offensive on the town of Manbij is one of two major assaults on the route IS uses to send in more fighters, weapons and money from the Turkish border to its main Syrian bastion of Raqqa.
“We have surrounded Manbij from three sides and operations are progressing well,” Sherfan Darwish, who is leading the offensive of the Syrian Democratic Forces launched just over a week ago, said on Tuesday.
“Every day, we are liberating villages and the only route open to IS now is towards Aleppo city” to the west, Darwish told AFP by phone.
The SDF is now within five kilometers (three miles) of Manbij from the north, two kilometers from the south and about seven kilometers from the east, said the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
