Picking up his long-held criticism of Jewish Americans not taking enough concern for Israel, former President Donald Trump warned American Jews must “get their act together” on appreciating Israel “before it is too late.”
“No president has done more for Israel than I have,” Trump wrote Saturday on Truth Social. “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. 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!”
The post echoes his past remarks made almost a year ago, where he rebuked The New York Times for being anti-Israel.
“There’s people in this country that are Jewish no longer love Israel. I’ll tell you the evangelical Christians love Israel more than the Jews in this country,” Trump said last December. “It used to be that Israel had absolute power over Congress, and today I think it’s the exact opposite.”
Trump blamed former President Barack Obama and current President Joe Biden for the anti-Israel sentiment, as they seek to work with the anti-Israel regime in Iran on nuclear deals past and potentially future.
“And I think Obama and Biden did that,” Trump lamented. “And yet in the election, they still get a lot of votes from Jewish people, which tells you that the Jewish people, and I’ve said this for a long time, the Jewish people in the United States, either don’t like Israel or don’t care about Israel.
“I mean you look at The New York Times, The New York Times hates Israel. Hates them. And they’re Jewish people that run The New York Times. I mean the Sulzberger family.”
Trump’s remarks come just weeks before the Nov. 8 midterms final vote. Jewish media is hailing Democrats, suggesting the Jewish vote can carry the party to stave off a Republican wave.
“Jewish voters have the power to carry Democrats in the midterms,” according to Forward.com. “Abortion and the ongoing threats to democracy are the most important issues for Jewish voters.”
The Jewish Electorate Institute polled Jewish voters and found 74% follow the Democrats’ Jan. 6 narrative-pushing committee and 57% were more motivated to vote because of the messaging.
Trump, who’s daughter and son-in-law are Jewish, might be on to something with the lack of respect for what he has done for Israel and the Jewish world community. Just 19% of American Jews have a favorable view of Trump, while 70% of Jewish voters approve of the job President Joe Biden is doing, according to the poll.
Notably, Jewish voters’ opinion of Biden does not comport with the whole America community which has a majority disapproving of the job Biden is doing and Biden’s approval ratings in the 30s at times during his presidency.
Also, 68% of Jewish voters support the U.S. reentering the Iran nuclear deal.
Ted Why ?????????? I wish I knew.
Ilhan Omar accuses Trump of antisemitism. 😀

The white house is screaming Antisemitism at Trump! This is so laughable. This reminds me of a story I heard of where a grandfather tried to instruct his grandson and his grandson got all upset and defensive and accused his grandfather of Fat-shaming him. The grandfather responded, Son, I love you. But you weigh over 400 lbs. and smoke and the only thing I ever see you drink is soda pop! you’re killing yourself!
It’s very hard maybe impossible to communicate with these people. They come across as crazy.
@Ted In fact, incredibly, they believe Trump enabled Iran to get the bomb by getting out of the JCPOA and that he did it out of antisemitism. This is what I read in the comments to the Washington Post Trump attacks Jews article on their website. In addition to all the hallucinagenic antisemitic and anti-Trump hate speech.
@Ted Yes, they believe it stops Iran from getting the bomb because Obama said so and they believe Obama over Bibi. They research nothing for themselves mostly and the ones who do only consult the Dem think tanks.
Astounding. Why would any American support the deal aside from being loyal to the Democratic Party. Surely they don’t support it in the hope of Iran destroying Israel. Do they really believe it will prevent Iran from getting the bomb. What’s in it for them or America.
Could it be that the Biden Administration, like the Obama Administration, wants to make Iran their proxy to control the Middle East and beyond. Does anyone in the administration believe that Iran can be made into a puppet?
Can anyone tell me what US policy is all about regarding Iran?
All true.
Part of what Trump says is true. The liberal reform or less than, assimilated US Jews either are ignorant about what Israel faces or totally disinterested. They simply don’t care. Some believe the negative propaganda of far Left anti-semites.It is a crying shame. They don’t know much about Torah, Judaism nor Israel. I made Aliyah recently because of the shame I have for US assimilated Jews.Yes a Holocaust could happen as before with not enough done by my our co-religionists to prevent Israel being existentially threatened .
The liberal Jews of today are not different from the liberal Jews of WWII and six millions went into smoke!
There are more antisemitic Jews in this country than anywhere else on the planet.
‘Antisemitic and insulting’: White House denounces Trump’s attack on US Jews
This should be a headline on Babylon Bee. Such real claims do make for the best satire of all.
For those Jews who still are voting for a Democratic Party which consistently refuses to rebuke the Squad and still believes in negotiations with Iran… the ovens are straight ahead, you fools.
So many Jews seem to be afraid of promoting their own self-interest. They rather support BLM than Israel.
Sadly, it is all true, except the part about the Jews carrying the Dems across the finish line, as this will be upto the Ballot-muleteers and the Dominion algorithms. Otherwise, it is all true.
