Former US President Donald Trump on Monday lashed out at the Democratic Party and at Jewish Americans who vote for Democrats.
In an interview with Sebastian Gorka on his radio show, Trump said, “The Democrat Party hates Israel…they also see a lot of votes. Don’t forget, when you see those Palestinian marches, even I am amazed at how many people are in those marches. And guys like Schumer see that and to him it’s votes. I think it’s votes more than anything else because he was always pro-Israel. He’s very anti-Israel now.”
Trump then said, “Any Jewish person that votes for Democrats hates their religion. They hate everything about Israel and they should be ashamed of themselves.”
The former President has in the past criticized some members of the US Jewish community for voting for candidates from the Democratic Party.
Last September, Trump criticized liberal Jews in a post on his Truth Social platform on Rosh Hashanah.
The unusual “greeting” from Trump included a graphic stating, “Just a quick reminder for liberal Jews who voted to destroy America & Israel because you believed in false narratives!”
It added, “Let’s hope you learned from your mistake & make better choices moving forward! Happy New Year!”
A year prior, the former US President argued that American Jews do not appreciate what he has done for Israel.
“No President has done more for Israel than I have. Somewhat surprisingly, however, our wonderful Evangelicals are far more appreciative of this than the people of the Jewish faith, especially those living in the U.S.,” he wrote.
“Those living in Israel, though, are a different story – Highest approval rating in the World, could easily be P.M.! U.S. Jews have to get their act together and appreciate what they have in Israel – Before it is too late!” added Trump.
Before that, in an interview with Israeli journalist Barak Ravid, the former President said that “Jewish people in the United States either don’t like Israel or don’t care about Israel.”
In an interview with Ami Magazine in June of 2021, Trump expressed his disappointment with the response of American Jewry to policies he spearheaded as President, policies widely regarded as extremely beneficial to Israel.
“I did the Heights, I did Jerusalem, and I did Iran … I believe we got 25% of the Jewish vote, and it doesn’t make sense,” Trump said. “It just seems strange to me.”
He also noted that “I’m not talking about Orthodox Jews” – and indeed, the increasing support for the Republican Party among the US Orthodox population has long been noted. Among non-Orthodox and non-affiliated Jews, however, support for the Democratic Party remains strong.
I have seen the Reform Jewish community in the US become increasingly anti-Zionist starting with 2008. In the years since that time it has only gotten worse. Some Jews in Reform congregations give lip service to respecting Israel, but they criticize Israel repeatedly. They cannot put themselves in the place of Jewish Israelis, and instead seem to expect Israeli Jews to understand Judaism from THEIR perspective! The narcissism is almost ridiculous if it were not so tragic. They are upset that the Orthodox have so much power in Israel. They are upset there are so few (if any) Reform congregations in Israel. They don’t stop to ask themselves why that might be the case.
In Israel, secular Jews are very identified with being Jewish and feel strongly about the need for family and the Jewish Community. In the US, Reform Jews are largely secular, and they are more identified as American than as Jews. They rarely keep the dietary laws, and rarely observe the holidays whereas the secular Jews of Israel are often highly observant of the holidays.
Progressive Jews have great difficulty seeing anything positive in Trump. They simply believe what they hear and read. The MSM tells lies continuously about Trump which progressive Jews believe are true. If any of them question the truth of the media criticism of Trump, they fear they would lose all their friends if they suddenly decided to vote for Trump. It would be like suddenly being an outsider, unwelcome at family gatherings, at which criticism of Trump is taken for granted if not enjoyed. They fear they would become the butt of the criticism leveled at Trump by their families and friends. No, it’s impossible for many of them to even consider looking into the truth about President Trump.
But what does that say about Progressives?
They use totalitarian means of controlling people. These same means were used during Nazi Germany: Hitler began making it clear that anyone who might possibly think about helping a Jew would be treated like a Jew: with their lives ruined. This is how the progressive left rules the US, this is how they have weaponized the government. Their goal is total power and that means any who publicly oppose them are identified for destruction or death. Under these conditions it becomes actually frightening for people to consider opposing the progressives. The US is becoming a terror state. Everything they say about Trump is true for the Progressives and is a lie about Trump.
