Trump will blame Jews if he loses in November!
JVL Introduction
Trump saying he will blame Jews if he loses should beggar belief but it is all too real; he claims Jews who support Kamala Harris are voting against Israel and when speaking at a rally against antisemitism he said “we’re here to talk about Israel” so two of the many ways in which he conflates Jews and Israel. Even to claim Harris is anti Israel or pro Palestinian is ludicrous given how, despite Biden and Harris saying they want a ceasefire in Gaza, they continue to send the weapons that enable Israel to continue its assault on the people and places of Gaza. This piece outlines what he said at two rallies and below that is a follow up article from later the same day summarising the reaction of some Jewish organisations where even those who broadly would support him are certainly condemning what he has said.
.One of his claims is that Christians love Israel more than Jews – and perhaps that is actually true given the influence of Christian Zionists in US politics. Trump is criticised for his use of antisemitic tropes and some are remembering his atrocious response to those who chanted “Jews will not replace us” in Charlottesville in 2017. The prospect of a Trump Presidency is certainly scary, for example what he plans for Universities that allow pro Palestinian actions. But in 2020, huge numbers of activists, not least from the Black and Arabic communities worked hard to get the vote out for Biden, given Biden – and Harris’s – ramping up its arms aid to Israel, this cannot be relied on and we already see that Jill Stein leads Harris among Muslim voters in several swing states,
Nothing is certain, other than ongoing horrors for the people of Palestine.

'Israel Needs Me More Than Anyone': Trump Warns U.S. Jews They're Responsible if He Loses to Kamala Harris
Speaking at pro-Israel events linked to Republican megadonor Miriam Adelson, the former president also threatened to cut federal funding to colleges that don’t clamp down on ‘antisemitic propaganda’ and claimed that ‘in many ways, Christians love Israel more than Jews’

Trump is a stupid psychopath, cowardly, criminal, a fascist enemy of American representational government, and the enemy of Americans. The American Republican Theocratic Fascist Party upholds Trump. Not all American Republicans are fascists, but all American fascists are Republicans. Fascism is the privatization of government by private concerns be those private concerns secular, theocratic, or both. The purpose of the fascist executive (Oval Office) demolishing the separation of powers is to enable criminality with impunity. A primary fascist objectives is the robbery of all public assets by private concerns, opening all public lands to extraction companies, sabotaging the EPA (Trump), sabotaging the department of energy (Trump), “stuffing” the judiciary, sabotaging of all government agencies with impunity, defunding or privatizing all government services with impunity. The fascist destruction of a representational government from within is evil. Fascism is organized crime. Genocide is the hallmark of fascism. There is more to it than that, but that is enough for the moment.
Does Trump actually know what he’s talking about, he’s waffling on like a demented spoilt child. He’s so desperate to become President again, he’s clutching at anything that he believes will improve his chances.
Someone should ask him if he supports the Genocide/Ethnic cleansing of Palestine, that would be a good starting point, only Biden has supported it from the start of Israel’s mass destruction of Gaza, he could have stopped it at any time but he was actually encouraging it by sending Arms nonstop to Israel and encouraging the UK and Germany to do the same. Where has Trump been, not to have witnessed what has been happening.
To me this is all hot air, he wallowed in being President and now he’s showing signs of desperation to be voted in again. The political nonsense in the US is staggering.
A lot of hot air which unfortunately a lot of Americans believe.
Religion and politics should be kept absolutely separate from each other, especially when the speakers on all sides haven’t got a clue what they’re talking about, as in this godforsaken article. Why share it at all? To make everyone look bad? We need to share far more of the politics we can all support, such as the views of Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who deserve far far more visibility nationally and internationally, and backing and high level positions of responsibility.
