Do US President Donald Trump's latest remarks on Jewish people reek of anti-Semitism?
US President Donald Trump courted yet another controversy on Tuesday after criticising Jewish Americans who support the Democratic Party, saying their voting choice against the Republican Party shows their "disloyalty" towards the country. at the White House, Trump lashed out at two Muslim Democrats, Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib, who were recently barred by Israel from visiting Palestine.
“Where have they [the Democratic Party] gone, where they’re defending these two people over the state of Israel? And I think any Jewish people that vote for a Democrat, I think it shows either a total lack of knowledge or great disloyalty,” Trump said. In addition to Schumer, there are eight other Jewish Democrats in the Senate while there is no Jewish Republican in the upper chamber of the US Congress. The number of Jewish Democrats is nearly equal 10 percent of the whole Senate seats. According toOne of the longest-serving liberal senators, Bernie Sanders, who is proud of his Jewish origins, also came close to being nominated as a Democratic presidential candidate against Trump in 2016.
In the House of Representatives, the Jewish representation from Democratic Party is larger than that of the Republicans. Of 27 Jewish Representatives, 25 are from Democratic Party and the remaining two are Republicans. The House’s powerful intelligence committee is led by Adam Schiff, a Jewish American who has served as a member of the Congress since 2001.
