At a recent event, former President Donald Trump expressed frustration with Jewish voters who have not supported him in US elections, suggesting that the Democratic party has a “curse” on them. He spoke to Jewish donors at the Israeli-American Council national summit, claiming that his support among Jewish voters had increased but was still below 40%. Trump warned that a victory for his opponent Kamala Harris would result in Israel being wiped off the map, using hyperbolic language to make his point.
Throughout his speech, Trump emphasized his support for Israel during his time in office, highlighting policy changes such as moving the US embassy to Jerusalem and recognizing Israel’s sovereignty over the Golan Heights. He criticized Harris for not taking action to protect Jewish Americans and denouncing what he called anti-Semitic protests on college campuses.
Trump also claimed that Israel would cease to exist within a few years if he did not win the election, citing a poll in Israel that was 99% favorable towards him. He expressed confidence in his popularity in Israel, despite the challenges he faces in gaining Jewish support in the US.
The former president was introduced by Miriam Adelson, a prominent Jewish megadonor who praised Trump for his support of Israel and urged Jewish Americans to vote for him. Despite criticism from some groups, Trump remains focused on winning over Jewish voters and maintaining support for his policies on Israel.
