"Three #Sydney #MPs, representing electorates where most of the city’s #Jewishcommunity lives, met with #Jewishvoters this week in an online forum hosted by the #NSW #Jewish #BoardofDeputies, confronting tough questions about #antisemitism, #MiddleEast policy, and national unity.

The Board’s October Plenum, moderated by Executive Council of #Australian #Jewry co-CEO Peter Wertheim, brought together Assistant Foreign Minister and Labor MP Matt Thistlethwaite, along with independents Allegra Spender and Nicolette Boele. Held six months after the federal election, the event followed a year of unprecedented tension for Australian #Jews.

Board CEO Michele Goldman opened the evening by acknowledging the mood in the community. “We’ve had a bruising two years,” she said. “This is a chance to hear directly from our elected representatives on what they’ve done, and what still needs to be done.”

"“Not only is it bad form, but it’s also an ignorant waste of oxygen. Asked to respond to criticism from Jewish leaders, Trump campaign press secretary Karoline Leavitt sent statements from herself and several of Trump’s Jewish supporters. The statements didn’t directly address the potential blaming of Jews for a Trump defeat..."

#Trump again spouts #racist and hateful statements to #jewishvoters and #JewishAmericans blaming them for his potention election loss.

"Per a Siena poll, New York Jews prefer Trump 54 to 44."

WaPo headline:
"Trump says if he loses election, Jewish voters would have ‘a lot’ to do with it"

If indeed this is the case my joy and my pride would have no bounds! #Jewishvoters #Jewsvote

Any voter group that helps defeat Republicans won’t be blamed, they will be praised.

NEVER vote for a Republican.

A couple of takeaways here:

* He thinks Jews owe him loyalty of some sort for some reason. (WTF?)
* He's worried that he's going to lose. (And as always, he's looking to pin the blame on someone else when things go badly for him.)

Anyway, he's antisemitic AF, and flailing.

Trump's "logic":

Josh Shapiro, who is Jewish, and that large majority of Jewish Americans who vote Democratic — did I say they're Jewish? — must be "antisemitic."

Because they don't vote for him.

Emily Tamkin points to a Pew research poll published 3 days ago which shows that 7 in 10 Jewish voters align with the Democrats. Then she points to what Trump said again just this week:

"Any Jewish person who votes for a Democrat or votes for Biden should have their head examined.”
