Former President Donald Trump delivered a controversial speech in Washington D.C., where he criticized Jewish Americans who do not vote for him and claimed that if he is not re-elected, Israel would be “eradicated.” Trump, who was addressing the issue of antisemitism, stated that if Jewish Americans do not support him, they are essentially voting for the enemy.
During his speech, Trump emphasized his support for Israel and expressed disappointment that he only received 24% of the Jewish vote in the previous election. He warned that if Vice President Kamala Harris is elected, Israel would face “total annihilation” and rockets would rain down until the Iron Dome defense system is exhausted.
Trump also mentioned the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, promising to “get them out” if he wins the presidency in November. He appealed to Jewish American voters who may have become disaffected with the Democratic Party over their handling of the Israel-Hamas war.
Despite the backlash and controversy surrounding his comments, Trump expressed confidence that he should have received more support from Jewish voters based on his love and support for Israel. This speech comes as Trump tries to court Jewish American voters and increase his support among this demographic.
