Donald Trump decided to take time during Rosh Hashanah — the start of the Jewish High Holy days and the celebration of the New Year — to blame “liberal Jews” for voting to destroy America and Israel.
“Just a quick reminder for liberal Jews who voted to destroy America & Israel because you believed in false narratives!,” he wrote on Truth Social on Sunday, presumably referring to the American Jewish support for Joe Biden in the 2020 election. “Let’s hope you learned from your mistake & make better choices moving forward!”
The leading Republican presidential candidate then shared what appeared to be a flyer boasting of Trump’s record on Israel and pro-Jewish causes. “Wake Up Sheep. What Nazi / Anti Semite ever did this for the Jewish people or Israel?” the flyer reads. The flyer goes on to crow about moving the American Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem (“no other president had the balls to do it”) and endorsing “Israel’s sovereignty over the Golan Heights” and “over settlements in Judea & Samaria” — also known as the West Bank. The flyer also mentions Trump’s signing the “Never Again” Education Bill into law, which funds Holocaust awareness — which was praised by organizations, such as the Anti-Defamation League. “Clearly, one of the Greatest Anti Semites of our time!” the flyer jokes.
Strangely, it neglects Trump’s notorious statement that neo-Nazi marchers in Charlottesville, Virginia were “very fine people.” Or his speech in front of prominent Republican Jews, telling them that they were manipulative money-grubbers. Or his dinner with Kanye West after the rapper tweeted that he was “going death con3 on JEWISH people.”
The time in between Rosh Hoshanah and Yom Kippur, the day of atonement, is when Jews are supposed to ask for forgiveness from those they may have hurt. Trump used this faithful, soul-searching time to make it about himself.
It’s unlikely to have much impact; American Jews have traditionally voted overwhelmingly for Democrats — and 2024 looks to be a continuation of the trend. According to a poll by the Jewish Electoral Institute, which found among 800 Jewish voters, Biden leads Trump by 72 percent.
Rasict dipshits have been doing EXACTLY that for many decades, and he never said “he loved them”
Pardon me, he said they were “good people.” The “good people on both sides” thing. Don’t tell me you don’t remember that.
Yes, I DO remember that, do YOU remember that actual context of that? Clearly not. That was about the people in the rest of the fighting that day on the pro vs anti crowd on all the monuments being removed, not about Nazis. I live in VA, not far from C’Ville, and it was amazing to see how twisted that was. We got to relive the whole thing for months after the fact, while seeing the clips from other “news” sources of it being copy and pasted wherever it helped an anti Trump narrative.
Good people don’t march in step with nazis on either side of them. Full stop.
If I went to a fucking carebear peace rally and saw a group of nazis with a bunch of carebear paraphernalia getting ready to march with me, I would be making some serious life assessment about the shit I was supporting at that point.
Or, as said before… “If you see 5 people happily eating dinner with a nazi, you’re actually looking at 6 nazis.”
Feel free to show the context. Because no, I do not remember that context in the speech he gave.
