Former President Donald Trump addressed the Republican Jewish Coalition on Thursday and claimed that if Vice President Kamala Harris wins in November, Israel will no longer exist.
“If Kamala Harris wins, terrorist armies will wage an unceasing war to drive Jews out of the Holy Land,” Trump said.
He told the conference attendees that they should tell other Jewish Americans who support Harris not to vote for her. “They have no idea what they’re getting into if she becomes president. Israel will no longer exist,” Trump said.
Harris has been part of an administration that has provided a constant flow of weapons to support Israel’s genocidal war in Gaza. She also pledged the arms shipments will continue if she’s president, but Trump and other Republicans have accused her and President Biden of “abandoning” Israel.
In his speech, Trump signaled that he would provide strong support for Israel’s onslaught in Gaza. “I will support Israel’s right to win its war on terror. We have to win, and we will win fast,” he said.
Trump also bragged about the steps he took to support Israel during his time in office, including moving the US embassy to Jerusalem and recognizing the Israeli annexation of the Golan Heights from Syria, making the US the only country to do so. “I got it done in 15 minutes, they were negotiating it for 52 years. Nothing was going to get done without me,” he said.
The former president said Jewish Americans who don’t vote for him should get their “head examined,” something he’s said repeatedly while on the campaign trail. “I don’t understand how anybody can support them, and I say it constantly. If you have them to support and you were Jewish, you have to have your head examined,” he said.
