Former President Donald Trump said in an interview aired Monday that any Jewish person who votes for Democrats “hates their religion” and hates “everything about Israel,” again playing into an antisemitic trope that Jewish Americans have dual loyalties to the US and to Israel.
Trump was asked on a podcast hosted by his former White House aide Sebastian Gorka about criticism from the Biden administration and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. “I actually think they hate Israel,” Trump said. “I don’t think they hate him, I think they hate Israel. And the Democrat Party hates Israel.” “Any Jewish person that votes for Democrats hates their religion,” Trump said.
Donald Trump openly demeans Jewish Americans and reportedly thinks Adolf Hitler ‘did some good things’” — referring to comments the former president has reportedly made in private. And Jonathan Greenblatt, the CEO of the Anti-Defamation League, said in an X post, “Accusing Jews of hating their religion because they might vote for a particular party is defamatory & patently false.
