The former president claimed that his Democratic rival “hates” the Jewish state and warned that it could soon cease to exist
US Republican nominee Donald Trump has pledged to be a “defender” of Jewish Americans and warned that Israel could cease to exist if Democratic candidate Kamala Harris is allowed to win the upcoming election in November.
Speaking at the Israeli-American Council National Summit in Washington on Thursday, the Republican presidential nominee expressed concern that recent polling numbers suggest Harris, the current vice president, has a large lead among Jewish-American voters.
Without specifying which poll he was referring to, Trump expressed dismay that he was being supported by just 40% of Jewish voters in the US.
“That means you got 60% voting for somebody that hates Israel,” Trump said, referring to Harris who he described as a “bad Democrat.” He also claimed that the Democratic party as a whole is “very bad” to Israel.
The Republican went on to state that “any Jewish person that votes for [Harris] or the Democratic Party should have their head examined.”
“It’s only because of the Democrat hold or curse on you. You can’t let this happen,” Trump stressed, warning that if he doesn’t win and Harris becomes president then “Israel, in my opinion, within a period of two to three years, will cease to exist. It’s going to be wiped out.”
Trump also claimed that he hasn’t been “treated properly” by Jewish-American voters and recalled his past achievements in US-Israeli relations. “I gave them Golan Heights. I gave them the Abraham Accords. I recognized the capital of Israel and opened the embassy in Jerusalem. And, most importantly of all, I terminated the Iran nuclear deal.”
“I was the best friend Israel ever had,” the former president said, adding that if he is reelected in November, he will be the “defender” and “protector” of Jewish-Americans and will be “the best friend [they] have ever had in the White House.”
