Trump Claims Jewish People ‘No Longer Love Israel’ in New Interview

Former President Donald J. Trump has never minced words about the Jewish community, but in a new interview last week, the 74-year-old appeared to be taking his chagrin to a whole other level.
“There’s people in this country, they’re Jewish, they no longer love Israel,” former Trump said the interview. “I’ll tell you, the Evangelical Christians love Israel more than the Jews in this country,” Trump claimed, citing “the Jewish people who run The New York Times,” a newspaper that “hates Israel,” as an example.
Trump’s previously mocked his Jewish son-in-law, Jared Kushner for supposedly being “more loyal to Israel than the United States.” He once told American Jews that former Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu is “your prime minister” and said he felt that Jewish Americans who voted for Democrats are showing “great disloyalty” to Israel. In the next breath, Trump claimed that he was the best friend Israel ever had.

“Jews around the world should see Trump’s loyalty to Israel and his alliances with Israeli politicians as similarly situational and act accordingly,” MSNBC reported. “Just ask Benjamin Netanyahu, the former Israeli prime minister. He enjoyed a good relationship with Trump — until he congratulated President Joe Biden on his election victory.
“I haven’t spoken to him since,” Trump told Axios. “F— him.”
