The ad cited Trump's tweets, comments after the 2017 Charlottesville rally and 'disloyalty' claim as reasons for the rise in anti-Semitism.
In a new ad, Jewish Democrats criticize President Donald Trump for fueling anti-Semitism and emboldening the far right, which they say presents a danger to Jewish people.
Trump has received mixed reactions from members of the Jewish community. Some praised him for his decision to move the U.S. Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem and for being a friend to Israel. Others argue his rhetoric, including his comments about Jewish people being disloyal if they vote Democratic, is anti-Semitic and encourages people to harm Jewish people.
In August, during a conversation with reporters about Democratic Representatives Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib, Trump said Jewish people who vote for Democrats either have a"total lack of knowledge or great disloyalty." "[Trump] made it clear he thinks Jews have a dual loyalty to Israel. This [anti-Semitic] trope has been used to persecute Jews for centuries & it's unacceptable to promote it. He should apologize immediately," Greenblatt wrote in the tweet.
