Former US President Donald Trump claimed on Monday that Jewish Americans who vote for President Joe Biden in the upcoming elections "do not love Israel [and] should be spoken to."
Trump claimed this in an interview that aired on Real America's Voice, a right-wing television channel. He continued his rampage by saying that Jewish and African Americans vote for the Democratic party out of "habit."
"A lot of [voting patterns] is habit. Jewish people, by habit, just vote for the Democrats, and [African Americans] by habit vote for the Democrats."
Is Biden on the "side of Palestinians?"
Recently, the former US president has openly criticized President Joe Biden's policies regarding Israel and the ongoing war with Hamas. Trump continues to argue that Biden is "on the side of the Palestinians."
Biden continues to maintain a nuanced stance on Israel's role in the Gaza conflict, supporting Israel to an extent internationally while scrutinizing Prime Minister Netanyahu.
In the past, Trump has criticized the American Jewish community for what he claims a lack of support which is what he claims to be a hatred of Israel.
In September 2023, he posted on social media that liberal Jews who did not support him in his electoral run and chose to vote for the Democratic party had "voted to destroy America and Israel."
According to statistics, more secular Jewish Americans tend to vote for the Democratic Party, while more religious and conservative Jews, by and large, tend to vote for the Republican Party.
