The leading Republican presidential candidate took to Truth Social to joke that he is “the greatest Anti Semites of our time”
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.
Yeahhhhh this is a nazi dog whistle in a nutshell. I mean Trump is pretty much one big nazi dog whistle. My heart goes out to all the Jewish communities who have to deal with this nazi bullshit yet again.
I'm a completely secular Jew. Never go to services, don't participate in Jewish holidays and am an atheist. And I've been terrified since Charlottesville because these people don't care about anything but my "Jewish blood."
Racist dipshits didn't get together en masse and chant "Jews will not replace us" over and over again before Charlottesville and there wasn't a president who said he loved them.
Rasict dipshits have been doing EXACTLY that for many decades, and he never said "he loved them"
TRUMP: I think the driver of the car is a disgrace to himself, his family and this country. And that is – you can call it terrorism, you can call it murder. You can call it whatever you want. I would just call it as the fastest one to come up with a good verdict. That’s what I’d call it. And there is a question. Is it murder? Is it terrorism? Then you get into legal semantics. The driver of the car is a murderer, and what he did was a horrible, horrible, inexcusable thing.
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."
They did but I don't think America has ever had a president so outwardly supportive of nazis in the way that Trump is. The holocaust started with events similar to what went down at this particular rally. It was very much a sign of shit escalating. Now you have people waving nazi flags to protest Disney, so it's fair to say shit has indeed escalated.
