周一,唐纳德·特朗普总统连任竞选的新闻发布会被一名美国犹太活动家打断,该活动家指责总统加剧了美国的反犹太情绪和暴力
活动在爱荷华州得梅因举行,当总统的长子小唐纳德·特朗普(Donald Trump Jr .)站在讲台上演讲时,活动被打断。
活动视频展示了一个激进分子——伊隆·格利克曼,一个进步的美国犹太人组织“我不是现在”的组织者——在舞台上对小唐纳德和他的兄弟埃里克大喊大叫时被保安从房间里赶了出来。
当小唐纳德嘲笑2020年民主党候选人迈克·布隆伯格时,格利克曼站起来开始大喊,“我是美国犹太人,自从你父亲当选总统以来,每年都有越来越多的犹太人被枪杀。”
观众开始质问这位活动家,小唐纳德回应道,“我认为没有人比唐纳德·特朗普为以色列和美国犹太人做得更多,”这是总统和他的亲密助手以及高级官员经常提出的说法。
当他被拖走的时候,格利克曼向所有与会者发表了讲话“你们所有人都在杀害犹太人,你们所有人。”
格利克曼后来发表了推特上的信息解释他的行为并谴责特朗普政府的反犹太主义记录。“他们可以把我拖出去,但我永远不会停止为犹太人而战,”他写道。
"@donaldjtrumpJr传播杀害美国犹太人的反犹太主义阴谋论。他&@GOP不能在支持以色列的背后隐藏他们的反犹太主义,”他补充道犹太人正在奋起反抗白人民族主义者。"
尽管格利克曼没有具体说明他指的是哪些阴谋,小唐纳德已经传播关于匈牙利出生的犹太亿万富翁乔治·索罗斯的反犹太主义理论全球右派的妖怪。
例如,在最近的众议院弹劾调查中,小唐纳德。驳回众议院情报委员会主席众议员亚当·希夫——他是犹太人——为“乔治·索罗斯精心挑选和支持”
奥巴马总统经常称自己是美国犹太人的坚定盟友,称自己毫无疑问地支持由总理本杰明·内塔尼亚胡(Benjamin Netanyahu)领导的右翼以色列政府。
特朗普还指责反犹太主义的民主党对手批评以色列对巴勒斯坦人的政策、内塔尼亚胡的民族主义政治以及美国亲以色列游说团体的影响
内塔尼亚胡政府和亲以色列团体赞扬了总统的密切支持,包括将美国大使馆迁至耶路撒冷。他的政府还承认以色列对戈兰高地的占领,并放弃了美国对巴勒斯坦西岸以色列定居点的反对——根据国际法,这两个定居点都是非法的。
上个月,特朗普政府发布了期待已久的巴以和平计划,该计划建议支持以色列吞并巴勒斯坦西岸的关键地区。
但是特朗普自己也被指控使用反犹言论。例如,在12月,总统对以色列美国委员会发表讲话,说“很多”与会者“从事房地产行业”,“是残忍的杀手,根本不是好人”
总统还批评了支持民主党的美国犹太人,认为他们是不忠诚的犹太人一个历史性的反犹太比喻——因为没有支持美国和以色列的极右翼政府。
JEWISH PROTESTER REMOVED FROM DONALD TRUMP JR IOWA SPEECH AFTER SHOUTING: 'MORE JEWS ARE BEING GUNNED DOWN EVERY YEAR'
Apress conference for President Donald Trump's re-election campaign was interrupted Monday by a Jewish American activist, who blamed the president for rising anti-Semitic sentiment and violence in the U.S.
The event, held in Des Moines Iowa, was interrupted as Donald Trump Jr.—the president's eldest son—was at the podium speaking.
Video of the event showed the activist—Elon Glickman, an organizer for the progressive Jewish American group IfNotNow—being bustled out of the room by security as he shouted at Donald Jr. and his brother Eric on stage.
As Donald Jr. was mocking 2020 Democratic hopeful Mike Bloomberg, Glickman stood and began shouting, "I'm an American Jew and ever since your father was elected president, more and more Jews are being gunned down every year."
Audience members began heckling the activist and Donald Jr. responded, "I don't think anyone's done more for Israel and American Jews than Donald Trump," a claim regularly made by the president and his close aides and senior officials.
As he was dragged away, Glickman addressed all attendees, shouting: "All of you in here are killing Jews, all of you."
Glickman later posted messages on Twitter explaining his actions and condemning the Trump administration's record on anti-Semitism. "They can drag me out but I'll never stop fighting for Jewish people," he wrote.
"@donaldjtrumpJr spreads antisemitic conspiracy theories that are killing American Jews. He & @GOPcan't hide their antisemitism behind support for Israel," he added. "Jews are rising up to fight white nationalists."
Though Glickman did not specify which conspiracies he was referring to, Donald Jr. has propagated anti-Semitic theories about Hungarian-born Jewish billionaire George Soros, who has become a bogeyman for the global right.
During the recent House impeachment probe, for example, Donald Jr. dismissed House Intelligence Committee Chairman Rep. Adam Schiff—who is Jewish—as "hand-picked and supported by George Soros."
The president has regularly cast himself as a staunch ally of the American Jewish population, citing his unquestioning support for the right-wing Israeli government led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Trump has also accused Democratic opponents of anti-Semitism for criticizing Israeli policy towards Palestinians, Netanyahu's nationalist politics and the influence of the pro-Israel lobby in the U.S.
Netanyahu's government and pro-Israel groups have praised the president for his close support, which has included moving the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem. His government also recognized Israel's occupation of the Golan Heights and dropped U.S. opposition to Israeli settlements in the Palestinian West Bank—both of which are considered illegal under international law.
Last month, the Trump administration released its long-awaited Israeli-Palestinian peace plan, which suggested support for Israeli annexation of key areas in the Palestinian West Bank.
But Trump has himself been accused of using anti-Semitic rhetoric. In December, for example, the president spoke to the Israeli American Council and said "a lot" of the attendees "are in the real estate business" and "are brutal killers, not nice people at all."
The president has also criticized Jewish Americans that support the Democrats, suggesting they are disloyal Jews—a historic anti-Semitic trope—for not backing the far-right administrations in the U.S. and Israel.
