Historians pointed to the landmark event as proof of how far we have come as a society that even at dangerous, extremist, right-wing Nazi rallies, people of all ethnicities, religions, and backgrounds were welcome — a far cry from the Nazi rallies of days gone by.
"This is the most inclusive Nazi rally of all time," said Professor Leonard Turnbull of the University of Toledo. "Gone are the Nazi rallies of yesteryear, where you'd see shockingly few non-white attendees. And for some reason, we've had quite a hard time finding any accounts of Jews happily attending any Nazi rallies in previous eras. Yet here we are, witnessing the Israeli flag being proudly waved at Trump's rally. A historic milestone for Nazi rallies."
