Former US President Donald Trump claims his successor Joe Biden is “100 percent” on the side of the Palestinians.
“Any Jewish person that votes for Biden does not love Israel and frankly, should be spoken to — How a Jewish person can vote for Biden or a Democrat because they are on the side 100% of the Palestinians, and he doesn’t know how to get out of it,” Trump tells the conservative Real America’s Voice network.
“Frankly, it’s incredible that historically Jewish people vote for Democrats. I don’t understand that,” he says, reiterating a point he has begrudgingly made over the past several years.
“I’ve been more pro-Israel than any other president by far with Golan Heights — throw that one in there by the way… nobody even asked for it, and I got that for them,” Trump continues, highlighting his decisions to withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal, recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and move the US embassy there.
“Maybe it’s just a bad habit when you vote for a Democrat, but I don’t know how anybody that is Jewish votes for a Democrat,” he says.
