I am a Jew. all of this rhetoric endangers ME and MY FAMILY. Serving my country only to be "othered" by #whitereligiousextremism #stopwhitereligiousnationalism #stopwhitesupremacy
"“I’m not going to call this as a prediction, but in my opinion, the Jewish people would have a lot to do with a loss if I’m at 40 percent” Jewish support in the polls,” Trump said Thursday, likely overstating his backing among Jewish voters."
"Later that day, attending the annual summit of the conservative Israeli American Council, Trump raised the subject again. “If I don’t win this election … the Jewish people would really have a lot to do with that if that happens, because at 40 percent that means 60 percent of the people are voting for the enemy,” he warned."
"There was Trump speaking to Jewish Americans at a White House Hanukkah party in 2018: Vice President Mike Pence and his wife Karen “love your country. And they love this country,” he said. He called Benjamin Netanyahu “your prime minister” at a 2019 Republican Jewish Coalition event. In a 2020 Rosh Hashanah call with American Jewish leaders, Trump said, “We really appreciate you; we love your country also.”
Your, your, your. Wrong, wrong, wrong. We are Jewish Americans, not Israelis, and it is beyond insulting to imply otherwise. I love Israel, but my country is the United States."

Sadly this won't hurt him. His base doesn't care what he says or does. He could probably shoot one of their family members in front of them and they'd shrug "they probably deserved it."
He's using the same old tired white supremacy tactics that have been used before. Blame Jewish people, blame immigrants.
