Hello Bill,

Trump Accuses Jewish Americans Who Vote Democrat Of ‘Disloyalty’



The president told reporters that Democratic Jewish Americans show “great disloyalty,” despite 79% of them voting Democrat in the 2018 midterms.


By Sanjana Karanth







President Donald Trump said Tuesday that Jewish people in the U.S. who vote for members of the Democratic Party are not loyal.

“I think any Jewish people that vote for a Democrat, I think it shows either a total lack of knowledge or great disloyalty,” he told reporters when speaking about Israel barring Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) and Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.), two lawmakers who have been critical of the Israeli government, from entering.

Trump did not specifically say to whom Jewish Americans who vote Democrat are disloyal, though he has a history of both calling the Muslim congresswomen “anti-Israel” and “[vieo=twitter;1163838736213393408]https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1163838736213393408"]anti-Semites[/URL[/video].

“If this is about Israel, then Trump is repeating a dual loyalty claim, which is a form of anti-Semitism,” said Halie Soifer, executive director of the Jewish Democratic Council of America, in a statement to HuffPost. “If this is about Jews being ‘loyal’ to him, then Trump needs a reality check. We live in a democracy, and Jewish support for the Republican Party has been halved in the past four years.”

If this is about Israel, then Trump is repeating a dual loyalty claim, which is a form of anti-Semitism. If this is about Jews being "loyal" to him, then Trump needs a reality check - we live in a democracy and Jewish support for the @GOP has been halved in the past four years.

Israel recently barred both Omar and Tlaib from entering the country, citing their support for the pro-Palestinian Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement as the reason behind the decision.

The country later decided to allow Tlaib, who is of Palestinian ancestry, to visit her grandmother as long as the congresswoman agreed to Israeli restrictions on the visit. But Tlaib declined the visit, saying at a Monday press conference that she refuses to “go back caged.”

At the same press conference, Omar stressed the need for better oversight of the billions in aid that the U.S. gives to Israel every year. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) later said that Israel should decline U.S. aid if they’re going to bar congresswomen from entering the country.

Trump on Tuesday quickly struck down the idea of cutting off aid to Israel “because of two people who hate Israel and hate Jewish people.”

“Where has the Democratic Party gone?” he asked on Tuesday. “Where have they gone, where they’re defending these two people over the state of Israel?”

According to the Pew Research Center, about 79% of Jewish voters in America voted Democrat in the 2018 midterm elections.

Emily Mayer, a spokesperson with progressive Jewish organization IfNotNow, said that Trump’s remarks are “an explicit dual loyalty charge” that is “a bullhorn to his white nationalist base.”

Aaron Keyak, former head of the National Jewish Democratic Council, said Tuesday that Trump’s comments are “dangerous, reckless, and wrong.”

“Jews have had a long history of being in countries where we are accused of being disloyal,” he said in a statement. “Just because President Trump is deeply unpopular in our community is no reason to slander us with echos of some of the most insidious attacks against our people. We’ve seen where this road has led before.”

A great Zionist leader once made the case why Jewish Americans — and Palestinian Americans — should be able to support their homelands.

Trump himself has a history of making anti-Semitic comments or hesitating to denounce such rhetoric. The president used a Jewish Star of David to call Hillary Clinton corrupt; he invoked the stereotype of Jews being greedy businesspeople while speaking to the Republican Jewish Coalition; and he refuses to denounce blatantly anti-Semitic people like Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa), former KKK Grand Wizard David Duke and the neo-Nazis at the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia.


Trump has also previously invoked Israel when talking about all Jewish people. In April, the president told the Republican Jewish Coalition that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was “your prime minister.” When Trump visited the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh ― the site of a mass shooting in 2018 ― he showed up with Israel’s ambassador to the U.S.

Such behavior came as the president and conservatives accused Omar of perpetuating the trope of Jewish Americans having “dual loyalty” to Israel — something the congresswoman has never actually said. Omar was accused after criticizing the Israeli lobby in the U.S., saying, “I want to talk about the political influence in this country that says it is OK to push for allegiance to a foreign country.”

“Every single American Jewish leader and Democratic politician who accused Rep. Ilhan Omar of using a dual loyalty charge should forcefully call out Trump’s blatant antisemitism and recognize that the rise of antisemitism comes directly from the right,” Mayer said in a statement.

The Anti-Defamation League wrote last year that accusations of disloyalty or “dual loyalty” allege that “non-Jews should not trust the motives or actions of their Jewish neighbors.”

“To single out American Jews, with their complex and varied sets of relationships with Israel, its culture and society, and to then suggest that they should not be trusted citizens, patriots, or progressives, is a perpetuation of the anti-Semitic disloyalty charge that Jews have suffered from across the centuries,” the organization wrote. “It is incumbent on people of good will to intervene when the charge of disloyalty is leveled today no matter who is making the claim.”

Omar responded to Trump’s comments with a short message on Twitter: “Oh my.”

Just how many nails can Trump's political coffin TAKE?

Must be a BIG coffin.

Democrats, all the way up to Hillary, accuse white women who voted for Trump of disloyalty. How many of these same fcktards complaining about Trump's statement complained about Hillary's statements? Not many, I'm sure. Most people are pathetic hypocrites, R or D.

So if they, the "alleged" victims don't agree w/ trump's depictions you are ok w/ that.......

While he is successful in causing more chaos as per his norm, in this case he seems to be totally failing in causing division........

Hillary didn't use the word "disloyalty" but she implied it a number of times, such as accusing white women of caving to pressure from males in their lives, which hints at an accusation of disloyalty. And, of course, many other Democrats did accuse white women of disloyalty in a number of different words.

"We don't do well with married, white women. And part of that is an identification with the Republican Party, and a sort of ongoing pressure to vote the way that your husband, your boss, your son, whoever, believes you should." - Hillary

But as usual, amongst *the media generated* chaos, Trump raises a good question: why DO Jews continue to support a party that accommodates anti-Semites?

Granted, she did to seem to imply that in some of the quotes I read...

That is wrong for hillary to do, is it wrong for trump to do as well??

Pls Omar, that is bogus, he is the cause, not the ppl reporting it, just as the Ambassador from the UK said & many others- you know if you lie to yourself about this, it is very likely you are lying to yourself about other things as well.......

No, it is a horrible question.........

Why don't you go do a count on the religions of members of the Senate & Congress, by party & report back....hats-off-salute-smiley-emoticon.gif

Huh lol?

Was it a year ago the House almost nearly kinda-sorta reprimanded congresswoman Omar for her antisemitic rhetoric? The woman is an antisemite. Do some research on the antisemitic group that sponsored Omar’s and Tlaib’s trip to Israel that *they decided* not to go on.

Even many Democrats concede that The Squad is the face of the Democrat Party—and that face is antisemitism. Why Jews would continue to vote democrat is an interesting question.

Maybe many are beginning to question it, themselves.

Sounds a lot like wishful thinking Omar

Not if they recognize antisemitism when they see it.

Even the media couldn’t bury the House condemnation of Omar’s antisemitic rhetoric—even if House Democrats couldn’t bring themselves to actually name her.

Are you suggesting it’s possible to habitually use antisemitic rhetoric, yet not be an antisemite?

I think you should calm down, & if ppl that are Jewish are not stressing it, that is a pretty good indication you probably shouldn't be either..

As far as I know I’m calm lol.

I’m just asking questions. Jews shouldn’t stress over the fact democrats are soft on anti-Semitism?

At what point should they start paying attention?
