Trump claimed in the past that Jews in America no longer love Israel and evangelical Christians are more fond of it.
Trump said that Israel used to have absolute power over Congress, but today it seems the opposite. This was in an interview provided by the Unholy podcast and released on Friday.
The former president said, “I think Obama did that and Biden did it,” “Yet they still get lots of votes from Jewish people. This shows that the Jewish Americans in America either hate Israel or care little about Israel.
After that, he went to New York Times.
I mean, you can see the New York Times and it hates Israel. Hashtas them. They’re Jewish and run the New York Times.
Trump stated, “It used be that Israel held absolute power over Congress. Today I believe it’s exactly the opposite.”
In an explosive conversation Trump held with Ravid, Trump also attacked his longtime friend, former President Benjamin Netanyahu.
Trump also criticized his ex-ally Benjamin Netanyahu in an explosive conversation he had with Ravid.
Of his efforts to enact a peace plan between the Israelis and the Palestinians, Trump said in quotes leaked Monday: ‘I don’t think Bibi ever wanted to make peace.’
Ravid stated, in Axios’ piece that Trump highly regarded Mahmoud Abubas as a Palestinian leader.
Trump declared, “I thought that he was fantastic.” He was almost like his father. He was so nice. He seemed to want to do a better deal than Netanyahu.
Trump claimed that Abbas told Trump that he was keen to sign a deal. Netanyahu said that Abbas would wait.
The US has been unable to reach peace with Israel and Palestine for many decades. Trump offered a deal at 2020’s beginning that would have been the best since the Madrid peace talks in 1991.
“My entire existence is about deals. I’m like one big deal. It’s what I do all the time, and that is how I know it. And after meeting with Bibi for three minutes … I stopped Bibi in the middle of a sentence. I told Bibi, “Bibi, don’t you want to make any deal.” Do you?’ And he said, ‘Well, uh, uh uh’ — and the fact is, I don’t think Bibi ever wanted to make a deal.’
Trump stated that Netanyahu’s deputy prime minister Benny Gantz would have made it much simpler to make a deal.
Trump described Gantz as “great”. This is an incredible man. It would have been easier, in my opinion to reach a settlement with the Palestinians [with Gantz]Unlike Netanyahu. Netanyahu is hated by the Palestinians. … They loved Gantz. They don’t hate Gantz.
Trump stated earlier this year that the US Jews don’t “love Israel enough” because they only received 25% of the Jewish vote for 2020.
“You know what surprised you?” Trump spoke with Ami in an interview. ‘I did the Heights, I did Jerusalem and I did Iran — the Iran deal was a disaster, right?’ He was referring to his decision to recognize Israeli sovereignty on the Golan Heights and Jerusalem, to move the US Embassy there, and to pull out from the Iran nuclear agreement.
“And I also did many more things. Americans aren’t Jewish enough to love Israel. Is that logical? He asked.
“I don’t mean the Orthodox Jews. It doesn’t make any sense. I think we received 25% of the Jewish vote. “It just seems odd to me,” he stated.
Trump’s comments have been criticized before. Associating US Jews and dual loyalty to Israel could be seen as anti-Semitic.
While speaking to an American Jewish group, the President referred to Israel in 2018 as “your country.” He also stated that Jews who vote in favor of Democrats are ‘disloyal’.
