Donald Trump is the most openly anti-Semitic president in American history. While many presidents expressed anti-Semitic beliefs in private, only Trump has done so repeatedly, and usually in public. In his most recent comments, Trump casually tells Barak Ravid, “It used to be that Israel had absolute power over Congress,” that Jews run the New York Times, and that “the Jewish people in the United States either don’t like Israel or don’t care about Israel.”New quotes from Trump to @BarakRavid: Most US Jews don't love Israel. Conservatives, including right-wing Jews, have long argued that support for Israel (in particular the Israeli right) matters far more than any other traditional measure of support for Jewish rights. He combines militant support for Israeli expansionism with irrepressible contempt for the Jews and all they stand for.
