And voting against Trump means being 'disloyal' to the Hebrew faith ?
Its not what he said.
I do appreciate the left finds Trump an easy mark because he shoots off at the mouth. However he has clarified what he said and most of us Jews knew what he was referring to. He was referring to specific individuals in the Democratic party who do NOT recognize the right of Israeli to exist as a Jewish state and have openly said so and refer to Israel pre 1967 as part of Palestine and so to vote or support such politicians would be disloyal to Israel and that is what Trump meant and he is not a racist for saying that.
As a Jew I would be disloyal to Israel if I did not think Israel has a right to exist as a Jewish state. It's a fact. That is all he meant.
The rest is all after the fact added analysis by those bias against Trump injecting further context and meaning into what he said.
The comment is loose lipped and easily picked up by people defending specific anti Israeli American Democrats.
The Democratic Party has 4 members who have made absolutely outrageous, one sided comments against Israel. Its a fact. If Republicans had said what these 4 said about any other country, they would be accused of being racist.
Some of you who focus on what Trump said, but are not going to focus on what the 4 Democrats have said.
Trump may say a lot of loose lipped poorly stated comments but he is calling out a particular strain of anti Israeli dialogue. I am not so insecure as a Jew that I could not understand what he meant and take offence to it so please non Jews spare me lectures on how I should react to what he said. I also do not expect any of you to blindly support Israel but you blindly support terrorism and extremism when you accuse anyone of supporting Israel's right to exist as an apartheid racists as BDS and Granny or these 4 idiot Democrats have done. Using Trump as your dead horse to beat on doesn't change your one sided biases anymore than they do Trump's.
