“Trump recently warned that if he loses in November, ‘the Jewish people would have a lot to do with a loss.’ Apologists will say he has a legitimate grievance because despite all he’s done for Israel, he still garners only 34 percent support among American Jews. … In fact, the threat Trump poses to Jews is greater than the threat from the Students for Justice in Palestine or Rashida Tlaib and all their fellow travelers. … Jews represent about 1 percent of the population. In a close contest, as this promises to be, any group could be said to ‘have a lot to do’ with a win or loss. But Trump didn’t say that Catholics or Hindus or atheists (who support Harris by 85 to 13) would be responsible for his loss, nor Asians nor Hispanics. He said it about the group that has more than two thousand years of scapegoating behind it.” (09/25/24)
