Washington D.C., DC – On the final day of the Jewish New Year celebration, former president Donald Trump shared a flier on social media accusing “liberal Jews” who didn’t support him of having voted “to destroy America & Israel.”
In a post Sunday on Truth Social, his social media platform, the 2024 Republican presidential front-runner added a flier created by the organization JEXIT, a group that seeks to draw Jewish voters away from the Democratic Party. Text featured in the flier appears on the group’s Facebook and Instagram pages.
“Let’s hope you learned from your mistake & make better choices moving forward!” the flier reads. “Happy New Year!”
Trump’s post amid the celebration of Rosh Hashanah drew strong rebuke, with Amy Spitalnick, chief executive of the Jewish Council for Public Affairs, calling it “antisemitic.”
Jonathan Greenblatt, CEO of the Anti-Defamation League, said it is “dangerous and wrong to suggest an entire segment of the Jewish population voted to destroy America and Israel.”
“Whether or not it’s intentional, President Trump is playing into conspiracy theories about dual loyalty here,” Greenblatt said in a statement to The Washington Post. “Even worse, this is happening on one of the holiest days of the Jewish calendar, Rosh Hashanah.”
