Donald Trump decided to take time during Rosh Hashanah — the start of the Jewish High Holy days and the celebration of the New Year — to blame “liberal Jews” for voting to destroy America and Israel.
“Just a quick reminder for liberal Jews who voted to destroy America & Israel because you believed in false narratives!,” he wrote on Truth Social on Sunday, presumably referring to the American Jewish support for Joe Biden in the 2020 election. “Let’s hope you learned from your mistake & make better choices moving forward!”
The leading Republican presidential candidate then shared what appeared to be a flyer boasting of Trump’s record on Israel and pro-Jewish causes. “Wake Up Sheep. What Nazi / Anti Semite ever did this for the Jewish people or Israel?” the flyer reads. The flyer goes on to crow about moving the American Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem (“no other president had the balls to do it”) and endorsing “Israel’s sovereignty over the Golan Heights” and “over settlements in Judea & Samaria” — also known as the West Bank. The flyer also mentions Trump’s signing the “Never Again” Education Bill into law, which funds Holocaust awareness — which was praised by organizations, such as the Anti-Defamation League. “Clearly, one of the Greatest Anti Semites of our time!” the flyer jokes.
Strangely, it neglects Trump’s notorious statement that neo-Nazi marchers in Charlottesville, Virginia were “very fine people.” Or his speech in front of prominent Republican Jews, telling them that they were manipulative money-grubbers. Or his dinner with Kanye West after the rapper tweeted that he was “going death con3 on JEWISH people.”
The time in between Rosh Hoshanah and Yom Kippur, the day of atonement, is when Jews are supposed to ask for forgiveness from those they may have hurt. Trump used this faithful, soul-searching time to make it about himself.
It’s unlikely to have much impact; American Jews have traditionally voted overwhelmingly for Democrats — and 2024 looks to be a continuation of the trend. According to a poll by the Jewish Electoral Institute, which found among 800 Jewish voters, Biden leads Trump by 72 percent.
Signing the Never Again Bill into law
Oh GOOD. You did so much to help us by reminding people the only fucking thing they know about us is the fucking Holocaust. Not any of our culture achievements, food influences, language influencea or anything else. Just the time we were fucking genocided. Eat a dick you fat fuck
I like your golum magic, personally!
Not sure why you got downvoted, this gave me a smile. It’s nice to know someone knows our mythology. Thanks friend.

Christian here, but I’ve gotta hand it to you guys: You have fantastic food and music (and seriously know how to party, from what I’ve heard). I wouldn’t want to live anywhere that didn’t have the yumminess you brought to the literal table. Beyond that, your traditions surrounding mourning are really beautiful. I love that you prioritize taking the time to sit with the loss of your loved one and really give it the weight it deserves. The continual building of resting places is another one - what a great way to honor those who have passed before us!
L’shana tova, friend! I hope you have a great 5784. :)
Speaking from the the Collective of queer identities, Republican Nazis ain’t great at recognizing how boring their culture would be with the creative and cultural contributions of the people they hate.
Making something of significant cultural value? Try that in a small town.
Yeahhhhh this is a nazi dog whistle in a nutshell. I mean Trump is pretty much one big nazi dog whistle. My heart goes out to all the Jewish communities who have to deal with this nazi bullshit yet again.
I’m a completely secular Jew. Never go to services, don’t participate in Jewish holidays and am an atheist. And I’ve been terrified since Charlottesville because these people don’t care about anything but my “Jewish blood.”
It’s not even a dog whistle. This is a full-on bullhorn.
Racist piece of shit says racist things to a bunch of racist pieces of shit on a piece of shit racist social network.
Big fucking surprise there.
It’s rich that Trump thinks stances favorable towards Israel should buy him good will with the American Jewish population. If anything those stances are for people already in his base like Evangelicals and fascists. And his assumptions are just further telling on his racism if it wasn’t made abundantly clear by the rest of the post or his previous actions.
A non-Jew saying that if you don’t support Israel, you’re a bad Jew does not go down well with a lot of us.
What if Ben shapiro, pope of the jews, called you a bad jew?
I’d say fuck Ben Shapiro, but I wouldn’t want to make some dry vagina sore.
I didn’t know we had a pope. I thought we were an autonomous collective
You’re fooling yourself!

Why do americans support israel so much, especially blindly/ignoring any problems? they don’t have any historical relation to it right?
In short, a toxic stew of Christian millenarianism and realpolitik containment of the Soviet Union.
Could an argument be made that it’s nice to have a militaristic presence where a lot of oil is?
Israel has very little oil and hardly any US official presence (apparently a radar installation at Dimona). Turkey directly borders countries with oil resources and the United States maintains a larger military presence there. The United States also had very close ties to Iran pre-‘79, and maintained large bases in Saudi Arabia and Iraq at various points in history.
Additionally, the United States only swung towards Israel post-‘67 with the money ramping up after the Camp David Accords, so, for me, that doesn’t square with an idea of “we need Israel for oil”.
I’ve always thought it’s because they’re not Iran / Muslim. Israel is an important geopolitical ally in a region that is quite hostile to the US generally.

yes, it’d explain why the govt supports it but it seems many americans support it and they are not even jewish
American evangelicals believe that Israel needs to be in Jewish hands in order for the rapture to come about.
It’s important to remember that these people don’t care about the Jewish people having a homeland or anything like that, they just want to bring about the end of the world.
Perhaps because of the persistent and aggressive narrative that if you don’t support Israel you’re an antisemite?
Oddly (or maybe not really), a couple of the most critical people I know re: Israel are Jews. It’s always fun when some random Christian tries to tell them they’re antisemitic and then gets owned because they don’t really even know anything about Israel except that conservative politicians say we should support them unquestionably.
A couple of other posters have touched on it, but it largely comes down to religious bullshit. American evangelicals strongly believe in the end times prophecy, and Jerusalem being in the hands of the Jewish people is a major factor. Beyond that, the bible states that god gave Jerusalem to the Jewish people in perpetuity, and so anything that preserves “god’s will” in that respect must therefore be Good.
Here’s a WaPo article from about 5 years ago that digs into it, with a related poll, for more information. There are others, this was just the first I easily found: https://archive.ph/ilg51

Just ask his supporters how they feel about Jews, and judge him on it.
As a Jew, I already know his supporters’ views on Jews. It varies from “they need to convert to Christianity so that Jesus can return” to “they’re secretly running the world and need to be killed.” (The latter are quite overt when they fly the Nazi flag around, but will sometimes talk in dog whistle terms and say they just want to go after “(((globalists)))”.)
Next up ask them if they can point out the differences between Christianity and Judaism even, or the similarities lmao not to mention scripture
Oh yeah, that’s how you win hearts and minds, Trump. Criticize the decision making ability of AN ENTIRE RELIGION. ON THEIR HIGH HOLIDAY.
It’s called a dogwhistle
And also he’s testing the antisemitism waters becuase he wants nothing more in life that to be “treated like hitler”. He isn’t smart enough to figure out a NEW way to rally morons together, so he’s doing someone else’s way.
Trump consulted his buddy Nick Fuentes before he posted, I see.
Nah he only blamed non zionists. Pretty sure fuentes wouldn’t even care to make the distinction.
Oh, wow…
“Hey jews, you owe me! Try not to destroy America okay?”
Trump is a follower of the teachings of Adolf Hitler.
Which is saying something because he doesn’t seem to care about much else or know how to learn anything
So, the people who kept defending his “very fine people” comment: You knew better then, and you had to know he was gonna do this sooner or later.
“except the white supremacists, who I disavow completely” finished that for you
His daughter is married to a Jew. and he had 30 in his cabinet. Try harder next time. I guarantee you’re an anti-Semite who doesn’t support Israel.
You don’t have ro support a country to not be racist against a group of people. There is no country in the world I’d say did nothing wrong, and many have terrible governments. I don’t hate any race or people as a group, as many of the terrible governments (well, probably all rather than simply many) abuse their own people, and many of the people have no choice in living there.
Also, nice “I have a black friend” defense. He could have said just liberals, and not specifically jews on a Jewish event (or at all really). That’s where his antisemitism lies. Many white supremacists and racists are OK with someone they generally hate the most of if that person is on their side and playing the same games they do.
It’s all about liberal Jews and their damn jewish space lasers destroying the US of A.
Seems that Neaterdal MTG was right and Trump takes notes. /sMore projection from the orange anus.
What a fucking piece of shit…
When your dogwhistle is a rabid, barking dog.
