Trump sent a warning to American Jews: 'If I don’t win this election, the Jewish people would have a lot to do with a loss'

Frida Ghitis: Donald Trump warned that Jews would have a lot to do with a loss if he didn't win election.

She says many American Jews resent Trump ’s derogatory language about other groups as much as, or more, the comments he has made about them.

Trump has often stereotyped Jews in unpleasant ways, she says.

Ghitis says next generation of MAGA politicians and influencers is looking a lot more anti-Jewish and anti-Israel than Trump himself.

David Gergen : VP candidate is a strong supporter of Israel .

Gergen says it cuts as much in favor of abandoning Israel as supporting Israel .

He says anti-Semitism, like all forms of conspiracism, is founded on paranoia; it's hard to resist the idea of Jews as arch-manipulators.

Many American Jews feel undefended and excluded, with supposed allies strangely inhibited and frightened to act with them, says Frida Ghitis .

Ghitis: In liberal and progressive institutions where American Jews most expected to find solidarity and comfort, they have felt abandoned, even accused.

She says a powerful mood of anti-Semitism is growing on the American right, as Trump 's message last week to his Jewish audience is that this mood will have his implicit sanction if he loses in 2024 .
