From the Jerusalem Post:
Trump told reporters at the Oval Office on Tuesday that Jews who vote for
Democrats “shows either total lack of knowledge or great disloyalty.”
Clarifying his remarks on Wednesday, Trump denied his comments were racist and told
reporters: “If you vote for a Democrat, you’re being disloyal to Jewish people
and you’re being very disloyal to Israel.”
This is an accurate statement.
Jonathan Rosenblum put it best with this comment in Mishpacha in 2013: “The
failure of American Jewry during the Holocaust pales besides that of American
Jewry today. By virtue of its unshakable adulation of Obama, American Jewry has
watched calmly as he placed 6 million Jews in Israel under threat of extinction
from an Iranian nuclear bomb.”
Trump has every right to make a statement of
fact, like 2+2 = 4, that the majority of American Jews support a party which
bent over backwards to back two Muslim congresswomen who had given numerous
anti-Semitic statements, who support BDS which economically wants to destroy
Israel, and whose anti-Semitism is the direct consequence of the anti-Semitism
of Islamic ideology, another fact everyone is too
politically correct to mention. While we may dislike that it is Trump who is
stating the obvious, everyone else is apparently too pc to do so.

“Western democracies
are suffering from a toxic mix of arrogance and naiveté that makes them
complacent,” said Mohammed, who highlighted this challenge only days after an
eruption between Israel and the American Left over a proposed visit to the
Jewish state by pro-BDS representatives Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib. “They
underestimate the power of Islam, they look at what Islamists have done in
other countries and they arrogantly think: ‘That won’t happen to us’ – even
though it is happening right under their noses.”

“Islamists
have understood well how to couple Muslim anti-Semitism with the American
left’s vague notion of “social justice.” They have succeeded in couching their
agenda in the progressive framework of the oppressed versus the oppressor.
Identity politics and victimhood culture also provide Islamists with the
vocabulary to deflect their critics with accusations of “Islamophobia,” “white
privilege” and “insensitivity.” A perfect illustration was the way Ms. Omar and
her allies were able to turn a House resolution condemning her anti-Semitism
into a garbled “intersectional” rant in which Muslims emerged as the most
vulnerable minority in the league table of victimhood.”
