Poll: 75 percent of Jewish voters believe Trump is responsible for rise in antisemitism
A new poll conducted by a Middle East advocacy group, J Street, showed that most Jewish voters in the United States blame Donald Trump and the spread of MAGA politics for the recent rise in antisemitism in the country.
The poll asked 800 Jewish voters in the US their opinions on several political matters, including the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the overall direction of the country, and the political affiliation
The results showed an overwhelming majority of respondents believe Trump and the MAGA movement are directly responsible for the rise in antisemetic violence and sentiment in the USA today.
The poll was conducted between November 1 and November 8, and published on the night of the midterm elections.
Asked, “How responsible do you think Donald Trump and his allies in the Republican Party are for a rise in antisemitism,” 67 percent of respondents answered “very responsible” and another 9 percent answered “somewhat responsible.”
The Anti-Defamation League published a report earlier this year that showed a dramatic rise in antisemitic behavior across the US, reaching an all-time high in 2021.
A majority of the respondents, 74 percent, agreed that “Donald Trump and the MAGA movement are a threat to Jews in America.”
J Street released a statement from organization president Jeremy Ben-Ami, saying, “The vast majority of our community is deeply alarmed by the rise in antisemitism, white supremacy and far-right extremism driven by Donald Trump and his allies in the GOP. As in 2020, they voted for Democratic candidates in huge numbers, repudiating those who think Jewish Americans can somehow be won over by a Republican Party that seems dead set on targeting democratic values and fundamental rights.”

Maybe those same seventy-five percent of Jews still resident in America, are the ones who vote Democratic.
Also, consider the source. J Street has always “burned incense on the high place” of leftist ideology.
