US President Donald Trump published consecutive tweets last week on Twitter, his favorite way of conveying his ideas and opinions to his followers in particular and to the American public in general, claiming that American Jews began to abandon the Democratic Party and join the ranks To the Republican Party because "Democrats hate the Jewish people." He also began to work actively to push the so-called Jexodus (exodus or departure of Jews from Egypt in the 17th century BC) as an example for American Jews.
It has been noted in recent weeks that activists in AIPAC have begun to promote this argument since the beginning of this month, taking advantage of the controversial sparked by Democratic MP Elhan Omar saying that the Israeli lobby is strong and that Congress is subject to his wishes because of money and extortion. Of the Israeli lobby organizations, especially AIPAC, and members of the Republican Party in the House of Representatives and the Senate who took the opportunity to attack Elhan Omar and her other Muslim college (Palestinian origin) Rachida Taleb for dyeing the two women with "anti -Semitism "and mobilizing the right-wing forces behind Trump The Democratic Party "hates the Jews" and "hates Israel." All indications are that a large majority of Jewish voters support the Democratic Party, which was the case for more than 100 years.
Trump supporters of the American Jewish right-wing groups, such as billionaire Sheldon Adelson, who advanced the Trump campaign in the previous 2016 election, and billionaire Adam Milstein, who described MP Elhan Omar as "the top of filth" and chirped on Twitter on Monday (18/3) Are members of the Muslim Brotherhood and support the terrorism of Hamas, and do not conform to American democracy and do not give their allegiance to the US Constitution. " They say that the Democratic Party since former President Barack Obama" has become anti-Israel and anti-Semitic "knowing that former President Barack Obama possessed the greatest support in the history of the United States.
"The Jewish public is leaving the Democratic Party, we have seen a lot of anti-Israel policies starting under the Obama administration, and it has fallen to the worst, the worse, there is anti-Semitism in the Democratic Party, they do not care about Israel or the Jewish people, "Trump said in his tweets last week.
"The Jexodus movement encourages the Jewish people to give up the Democratic Party because they do not respect the Jews, the Republicans are waiting with open arms, remember Jerusalem (moving the US embassy) and get out of the terrible Iranian nuclear deal!" He said in another tweet.
Last November´s midterm elections showed that 79 percent of American Jews voted for Democrats (up 13 percent since the midterm elections of 2014). A Gallup poll last week showed that only one in six American Jews officially identified themselves as Republicans, while 52 percent said they were Democrats.
The same poll indicated that of all religious groups, American Jews were least inclined to agree to Trump´s policies, with 71 per cent opposed, while only 26 per cent supported them. The supporters agreed on parts of Trump´s policy towards Israel.
It is noteworthy that there are 25 members of the American Jewish Democratic Party in the House of Representatives, and only two in the House of the Republican Party, while all nine Jewish members of the Senate to the Democratic Party.
However, the division threatens the Democratic Party, especially with regard to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. The wave of support for the rights of the Palestinians has begun to grow stronger among the young democratic parties, especially the Progressives, who have suppressed absolute support for Israel as in the past. To attract American Jews in the next presidential election in 2020.
