I got one better. People who support Trump hate themselves.
And they don’t know it because they aren’t the type that would be able to do all the self-reflection required to realize it
Oh no, they love themselves. They hate minorities. Even as minorities. It’s commendable, being able to spread psychosis through propaganda like that.
Reminder that Gorka not only was Trumps Senior Security Advisor but is also a Hungarian American with long ties to Neo Nazi groups. So basically we have two Islamophobes with Neo Nazi ties complaining about Jews and their disloyalty.
A few things:
-
Jews have every right to hate Israel, just like anyone else. I personally don’t hate Israel per se, but I think it’s currently a murderous, racist, and fascist regime that doesn’t reflect any of my values. And I hate those things.
-
Israel, frankly, has nothing to do with my religion. Yes I’m Jewish, yes Israel is currently a Jewish state, but that has nothing to do with me, so my disgust for what Israel currently stands for has nothing to do with my religion or the religion of Israel. Basic stuff.
-
Judaism has a rich tradition of questioning everything. It is not considered heresy to question beliefs or authority, in fact it’s usually encouraged. You’ll find many many many Jews who openly identify as atheists (myself included), and yet most still absolutely consider themselves Jewish. This usually doesn’t bother anyone, Rabbis included. Atheists even hold a place of honor in some Jewish communities, because atheists get their morality from within themselves or other people, not from a fear of god.
All of that is to say that Trump doesn’t get to say what Jews love or hate. He clearly doesn’t understand the intricacies of an often contradictory and complex belief-system, and that’s fine, many of the Democrats he’s talking about have the same problems on the issue that he does.
I have an idea, let’s all just stop using religion for political purposes.
The question everything belief is very neat to see in a religion, from someone who comes from a predominantly Christian culture.
Yeah! It’s one of my favorite things about Judaism. You’ll notice a ton of qualifiers in front of my statements though, because we for sure have our fair share of crazy extremists. But comparatively I think our ratio of normal to crazy is maybe a little more reasonable.

_cnt0 says everything that comes after ‘Trump says’ can be discarded as a lie.
_cnt0’s Razor.
Catchy, I like it.
Trump says Jews who vote for Democrats ‘hate’ Israel and ‘their religion’
Jews who vote for democrats hate zionists and THEIR religion
Insanely ignorant of him.
Knowing the truth and saying the opposite isn’t “ignorance,” it’s “blatantly fucking lying.”
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Former President Donald Trump invoked a dual loyalty trope Monday by claiming Jews who vote for Democrats hate Israel.
Trump made the comments during a discussion about the Israel-Hamas war when Gorka asked about Democratic criticisms of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the country’s conservative-led government.
Greenblatt responded to Trump’s comments Monday, saying on X that “accusing Jews of hating their religion because they might vote for a particular party is defamatory & patently false.”
“President Trump is right — the Democrat Party has turned into a full-blown anti-Israel, anti-Semitic, pro-terrorist cabal,” Leavitt said in a statement, pointing to issues including the Biden administration’s aid to Gaza and the speech in which Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., who is Jewish, called for new elections in Israel.
“Trump is going to lose again this November because Americans are sick of his hateful resentment, personal attacks, and extreme agenda,” Singer added.
Trump also invoked the dual loyalty trope in September when he shared a post accusing “liberal Jews” of voting to “destroy” America and Israel.
The original article contains 497 words, the summary contains 175 words. Saved 65%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
I hate Israel and all religions.
Democrats gave green light for the Palestinian genocide… Of course they are voting Democrat.
Dumb take, both parties have been ardent supporters of Israel since its founding. Republicans are trying to shout down any criticism of Israel atm, they want more of the same
