Trump Sees Antisemitism in Only One Direction: On the Left

During a ceremony that was held on Monday to commemorate the terrorist attack on Israel that was carried out by Hamas on October 7, former President Donald J. Trump pointed the finger of blame at Democrats for antisemitism. In spite of the fact that his own preferred candidate for governor in North Carolina is at the center of a scandal involving antisemitic slurs, he then asserted that there was no antisemitism inside the ranks of the Republican Party. In addition, he said, there is no opposition in the Republican Party.

Mr. Trump’s speech to more than 100 invited guests at his personal estate in Doral, Fla. is pale in comparison to other previous discourses focusing on the Middle East. More than one hundred visitors had been invited to attend.

Instead of initiating direct attacks on his political opponents or making harsh remarks about Jews who support them, he refrained from any of these actions. Instead, he delivered a speech that was a combination of a mournful recollection and a political rally. In this speech, he expressed how much he hated the Vice President Joe Biden administration.

A rabbi presided over a service that took place after statements made by Mr. Trump were played. During the service, many of Israel’s top Jewish leaders and politicians lit memorial candles and spoke to pay homage to more than 1,200 killed as an aftermath of the Hamas aggression against Israel last year.

In order to convey their message on the protracted detention of the hostages, the organizers of the event left a section of chairs unfilled on either side of the platform. There are still hostages being held in Gaza, and these chairs were decorated with images of those captives.

This changed the atmosphere though when Mr. Trump arrived. He heard his usual entrance music- – “God Bless the United States of America”-while he shuffled on a bit with his little dance. He did this while listening to the music.

Enjoying the applause, he stood there. He opened the speech when mentioning the hurricane that would be nearing Florida, then he proceeded to attack the reply that the Biden administration had given to Hurricane Helene in a roundabout way. This is after he had finished his discussion on the hurricane.

Then Mr. Trump made a declaration condemning the event that took place on October 7. He promised to support the right of Israel to defend itself, and he repeated once more that Israel has to end as soon as possible the struggle it is engaged in. Besides, he asked the United States to do more about ending the current war that is raging in the Middle East region. For this, he quoted, “You have no idea the role that the United States of America has to play in order to get that ball over the goal line.”

There was no indication that Mr. Trump would raise the finger of blame at the administration of Vice President Joe Biden for the turbulence that has occurred in the Middle East. At the same time that he was pointing the finger of blame at “the leadership of this country” for an increase in antisemitism, he chose to disregard the reality that there had been an increase in the number of antisemitic actions that were documented under his presidency. It was said by someone, “What leadership?”

When asked about it, Mr. Trump responded by saying, “That is true.”

After that, Mr. Trump issued a general comment about anti-Jewish prejudice in the United States, claiming that it was present within the Democratic Party but not within the Republican Party. He also said that the GOP had no anti-Semitic bias. The candidacy of Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson, the Republican gubernatorial candidate in North Carolina has been severely undermined because of a news article carried by CNN.

The story stated that he referred to himself as a “black NAZI” on a pornographic website. Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, who is a supporter of President Trump, has made a number of statements that are considered to be antisemitic. In her most recent statement, she made the anti-Jewish cliche of claiming that Jews were to blame for the killing of Jesus. His vote against a bill aimed at combating anti-Semitism was relevant in order to justify his vote.

“I will tell you that even here in America, on our streets, in our media, on our college campuses, and especially in the Democratic Party, anti-Semitism has resurfaced, but not in the Republican Party.” , ” Trump said in his speech.

After that, he continued by adding, “The Republican Party has not been infected by this horrible disease,” which was then accompanied by some shouts from his supporters. On top of that, I sincerely hope that it won’t be. As long as I am in charge of the situation, I can guarantee that it will not be for as long as I am in charge.
