Former President Donald Trump recently addressed the issue of rising antisemitism in the United States, linking it to his campaign focus on immigration. In a speech in Washington, D.C, Trump expressed his concerns about foreign sympathizers and supporters of Hamas entering the country and posing a threat to Jewish citizens.
He emphasized his commitment to deporting individuals with ties to jihad and Hamas, as well as banning refugee resettlement from areas like the Gaza Strip. Trump criticized Vice President Kamala Harris for not taking action against the surge of antisemitism and vowed to combat this issue once re-elected in 2025.
During his speech, Trump highlighted the challenges faced by Jewish Americans and called for stronger protection and support. He outlined his plan to combat antisemitism, including holding educational institutions accountable for promoting anti-Jewish propaganda and violence on campuses.
Despite his controversial comments about Jewish Democrats, Trump assured the audience of being their best defender and friend in the White House. His speech, part of a two-part address to the Jewish community, aimed to address the growing concerns and threats faced by Jewish Americans in the country.
