Former President Donald Trump addressed the Republican Jewish Coalition’s annual conference in Las Vegas on Thursday. 

“I will work with you to make sure Israel is with us for thousands of years,” he said. “You’re not going to have an Israel if [Kamala Harris] becomes president… Israel will no longer exist.”

Trump strongly criticized the Biden-Harris administration’s response to the brutal murders of six Israeli hostages by Hamas.

“Unbelievably, the Harris-Biden Administration has sought to cast blame for these deaths on Israel. They have not been your friends. I don’t understand how anyone can support them,” he said. “Let me state this very clearly. The blame for these wicked murders lies with Hamas and Hamas alone. Only an evil and inhuman ideology kidnaps, murders, and tortures innocent men, women, and children. And likewise, only a deeply sick political party here in America would make common cause with those who sympathize with such evil.”

“Only a morally rotten president and vice president would seek to blame Israel for heinous acts of terror committed against its own citizens,” he added. “If Kamala Harris wins, terrorist armies will wage an unceasing war to drive Jews out of the Holy Land.”

The Times of Israel has more from Trump’s address, including comments about American colleges losing their accreditation if they promote “antisemetic propaganda”:

If US Vice President Kamala Harris wins the White House, Israel will cease to exist, former president Donald Trump told a gathering of Republican Jews on Thursday.

“I will work with you to make sure Israel is with us for thousands of years,” the Republican nominee said in a satellite address to the Republican Jewish Coalition’s annual conference in Las Vegas. “You’re not going to have an Israel if she becomes president… Israel will no longer exist.”

The warning marked an intensification of Trump’s campaign to lure Jewish voters, as he continued to express frustration that they aren’t flocking to him in larger numbers due to his Mideast policy.

“I don’t understand how anybody can support them — and I say it constantly — if you had them to support and you were Jewish, you have to have your head examined,” Trump told the RJC crowd, referring to his Democratic rivals. “They’ve been very bad to you.”

“I can say honestly that we got 25 percent of the vote, 26 percent after four years after I’ve done more for Israel than anyone. This year we will probably be around a 50% mark,” Trump said. The most recent polling of American Jews was done in June, before US President Joe Biden dropped out of the race, but it still put support for Trump at 24%.
