At a “Fighting Anti-Semitism in America” event in Washington on Thursday night, former President Donald Trump accused Vice President Kamala Harris of failing to address the surge in antisemitism and challenged her to distance herself from Hamas sympathizers supporting her campaign.
“Despite presiding over this explosion of antisemitism, Kamala Harris has done absolutely nothing,” Trump said. “She has not lifted a single finger to protect you or to protect your children or to even protect you with words.”
Trump also blasted Harris for sympathizing with anti-Israel demonstrators on college campuses, referencing a July interview where she described the protests as an expression of “human emotion.” He condemned her remark, calling it “dangerous” and “unbefitting of a candidate for president.”
“Kamala Harris said that the radical demonstrators on college campuses were, ‘human emotion should be this way.’ This is her message,” Trump said, accusing Harris of not rejecting antisemitic behavior strongly enough. He called on her to “officially disavow the support of all Hamas sympathizers, anti-Semites, Israel haters on college campuses and everywhere else,” adding, “She won’t do it. You know that.”
The event, hosted by Miriam Adelson, co-owner of the NBA’s Dallas Mavericks and widow of GOP megadonor Sheldon Adelson, saw Trump receive high praise. Adelson highlighted Trump’s past policies on Israel, including moving the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem, recognizing Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights, and brokering the Abraham Accords.
Throughout his remarks, Trump expressed frustration that many Jewish Americans continue to vote for Democrats. “Any Jewish person that votes for her or the Democratic Party should have their head examined,” Trump argued, attributing it to “habit” and not policy alignment. Despite his strong support for Israel, Trump lamented receiving only 24% of the Jewish vote in 2016, with that figure growing to 29% in 2020, and currently around 40%.
Trump pledged that if reelected, his administration would take aggressive action to combat antisemitism. He promised to cut federal support to universities promoting “anti-Semitic propaganda,” enforce civil rights protections for Jewish students, and ban refugee resettlement from areas like the Gaza Strip. “It will be a bright new day for the Jewish community in America,” Trump concluded.

I make pro-Harris posts on here but Trump has a point. Harris has not been even close to strong enough on the antisemitic protesters. I hope we see some real action when she’s in office.
Nu? True.
Unfortunately probably 90% of Jews are not frum and of those most are liberal so yeah he has a point
Trump is a big talker. He hasn’t said a word about the rabid antisemite Mark Robinson. His campaign has not distanced itself from Holocaust denier Tucker Carlson. Instead Vance continues to promote him. Trump has said nothing about MAGA racist candidates such as Royce White in Minnesota and Eric Hovde in Wisconsin. Trump only yells about antisemitism when it comes from his opponents but says nothing when it is espoused by his buddies
If Trump truly cared about antisemitism he would start with calling it out among his supporters. Instead he uses as a political tool to be used against his opponents. Sadly so many frum yidden fall for his games and are played by the man who doesn’t know who David Duke is and thinks that many people marching with neo nazis are very fine.
Trump spreads hatred of Jews among his base when he says that Jews will be to bland when he loses. His comments are disgusting and wrong. Trump is going to lose because him and his VP are unhinged and off message. Lying about Haitian immigrants and stolen elections is not a winning strategy.
“He hasn’t said a word about the rabid antisemite Mark Robinson.”
Not true. Trump enthusiastically endorsed Robinson in a primary against a non-Nazi non-Holocaust denier who is in other respects every bit as far to the right.
It is also Trump who invited Nick Fuentes, who wants to ban Judaism in the US, to Mar A Lago.
It is Trump who called Nazi marchers in Charlottesville “very fine people”. The Trump Cult continues to deny this even though it is true.
Trump’s extended family also has close ties to Hezbollah and his buddy Putin is the main enabler of Iran.
Trump’s supporters are carrying out an under the radar campaign in Michigan among Arab Americans there claiming that Kamala Harris is too supportive of Israel. Evidence for this is that Rashida Tlaib HaRasha is refusing to support Harris. Richard Grenell, a likely Secretary of State in a second Trump Administration, is part of this effort.
It is Trump who is the biggest danger to Jews and it is good that the majority of Jews in America see this.
“the man who doesn’t know who David Duke is”
After Trump denied knowing who David Duke is, it was discovered that years earlier Trump had been interviewed about David Duke and knew exactly what David Duke was about. But Trump didn’t want to alienate a supporter. (Yes, Duke supported Trump in 2016.)
Trump is a monster. Jews are not to blame for a spoiled billionaires loss. His chabad daughter must draw a line. No gentle even trump will say we caused his loss anti semite. Hosting fo adulterer idol worshipping monster. Ivana isn’t a Jew perhaps either I question conversion.
America. I loathe you as a Jew and not American start behaving and give Israel back to real kosher souls. Rot you evil monsters. Not giving my old city home to no one. He’ll works for you hatful scum
