(Jewish Group) Following offensive comments, Trump accused of anti-Semitism (again)

As president, Donald Trump took a series of steps he considered to be pro-Israel, though by the Republican's own admission, he didn't necessarily understand his own policies. Trump nevertheless seemed to assume that he was currying favor with Jewish voters, who'd help with his re-election campaign.

He thought wrong: President Joe Biden received more than 75 percent of the Jewish vote in 2020, improving on Hillary Clinton's totals from four years earlier.

Former President Donald Trump, in a newly aired interview, told an Israeli journalist that "the Jewish people in the United States either don't like Israel or don't care about Israel."

"It used to be that Israel had absolute power over Congress, and today I think it's the exact opposite.... And I think [former President Barack] Obama and Biden did that," he added. "And yet in the election, they still get a lot of votes from the Jewish people. Which tells you that the Jewish people, and I've said this for a long time, the Jewish people in the United States either don't like Israel or don't care about Israel.

Thing is, does anyone, other than some Jews and few allies, real ones, care? Frankly, this is nothing more than for some to "defend" and others "to bank for later use" in an ever-growing, whiny battle of "but the other side is worse, so ignore our anti-Semitism". There are the Jews who make excuses for this shit, on both sides sadly, and then become the point of "see?! It isn't really anti-Semitism" or "see? Jews say the same thing."
