Ex-president claims Jewish people who vote for Democrats ‘hate Israel’ and ‘hate their religion’
The White House has criticized Donald Trump for “vile and unhinged antisemitic rhetoric” after the former president claimed that Jewish people who vote for Democrats “hate Israel” and “hate their religion”.
In an interview on Monday Trump was asked about increased criticism by Democrats of Israel’s military action in Gaza, which has left more than 30,000 Palestinians dead.He added: “Any Jewish person that votes for Democrats hates their religion. They hate everything about Israel and they should be ashamed of themselves because Israel will be destroyed.”“President Biden has put his foot down when it comes to vile and unhinged antisemitic rhetoric. As antisemitic crimes and acts of hate have increased across the world – among them the deadliest attack committed against the Jewish people since the Holocaust – leaders have an obligation to call hate what it is and bring Americans together against it.”“Like President Biden said, he was moved to run for President when he saw neo-Nazis chanting ‘the same antisemitic bile that was heard in Germany in the 1930s’ in Charlottesville,” Bates said.that Trump’s claims were “particularly disgraceful and dangerous at a time when Jews are facing dangerous levels of antisemitism nationwide”. Jamie Raskin, a congressman from Maryland, said Trump had committed an “outrageous slander against the vast majority of American Jews”. “Luckily I don’t know any Jews who look to Donald Trump for advice on how to be Jewish,” Raskin said, according toOur US morning briefing breaks down the key stories of the day, telling you what’s happening and why it matters: “To make Israel a partisan issue only hurts Israel and the US-Israeli relationship.
