Trump attacks 'liberal Jews' amid Rosh Hashanah holiday
The post drew condemnation as antisemitic by Jewish leaders.
As Jews all over the world this weekend celebrated Rosh Hashanah – the start of the new year and one of the holiest days on the Jewish calendar – former President Donald Trump accused those who did not support him in 2020 of voting “to destroy America and Israel" in a post on his social media platform.
The attack drew condemnation as antisemitic by Jewish leaders and politicians.
- In a social media post on Sunday, former President Donald Trump accused those who did not support him in 2020 of voting “to destroy America and Israel”
- The post, which came on the final day of Rosh Hashanah, drew condemnation as antisemitic by Jewish leaders and politicians
- Jonathan Greenblatt, the Anti-Defamation League’s CEO, said in a statement the post was “dangerous and wrong” and that “even as an organization that supported many of these policy decisions, ADL doesn’t believe that our community needs to be lectured about how to vote”
- For years, Trump has aired his frustrations that American Jews are not sufficiently supportive for his liking, often citing his administration pro-Israel policies
- Seven-in-ten American Jews identify or lean towards the Democratic Party, according to the Pew Research Center; polls taken immediately after the 2020 presidential election show Jewish support for Joe Biden ranged from 60 to 77%
=================================================Trump's racist & anti-semitic rhetoric will hopefully cost him the coming election.
