Jon Lovitz says Democrats are anti-Semitic ‘because of their actions’, Trump has ‘done more for Israel than any president’

Legendary actor and comedian Jon Lovitz took aim at Democrats for their turn against Israel and their handling of rising anti-Semitism in the United States since October 7.

“You should vote for whoever you want, okay? But if you’re Jewish, they passed a bill to condemn anti-Semitism, which condemns hatred and violence towards Jewish people. 70 Democrats voted against it,” Lovitz said in an interview with Fox. Digital news.

“And we have Chuck Schumer, who is Jewish, saying that we should have elections in Israel now. And the reason President Trump and other people got angry is that you are not supposed to interfere – ironically, Trump – in the elections from another country and in the middle of a war!” -Lovitz exclaimed-. “And Bernie Sanders, he always has been, you know… I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, he’s a self-hating Jew. And there are a lot of them. ‘Why do you say that?’ I say, well, it’s very clear that he is not for Israel. “They have to stop this war.”

“And whatever you think of Trump, the fact is that he has done more for Israel than any president in the history of this country,” Lovitz added.

The “SNL” alum defended former President Trump, who was recently accused by liberals of being anti-Semitic for comments he made criticizing Jewish voters who vote Democratic despite the party’s tense relationship with Israel.

“I’ve actually met him over the years. And the strange thing about Trump is that he’s very different in person than he is on television,” Lovitz told Fox News Digital. “But if you want to say, ‘Well, he’s anti-Semitic,’ I say, well, I don’t know, his daughter, he’s crazy about Ivanka, she converted to Judaism, she married a Jew, his grandchildren are Jewish.” .

He continued: “There’s a beach club in Palm Beach. And they don’t let Jews in that club. They’re banned. And right next to that beach club is the Mar-a-Lago beach club and they let Jews in. the Jews. So, which of those clubs is anti-Semitic, the one that bans Jews or the one that lets them in? Well, in Israel they love Trump, I say that because he defended them… People say that Trump is anti-Semitic. .not by their actions and the Democrats, by their actions, in general, are certainly not pro-Israel.”

The comedian responded to “completely anti-Semitic” Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., who suggested there are “pro-genocide” and “anti-genocide” Jews on both sides of the Israel-Hamas debate.

“First of all, if you’re pro-genocide, that’s obviously horrendous. I don’t care what you are,” Lovitz said. “But calling what is happening in Palestine ‘genocide’ is false. It is simply using what happened to the Jews by the Nazis in Germany. That was genocide. Hamas wants to commit genocide against the Jews. There is no program to eliminate to all Palestinians. If Israel really wanted to do that, they could have done it in less than a day. If they are trying to commit genocide, if Israel is trying to commit genocide against the Palestinians, why are they publishing pamphlets and texts in Arabic now? And tell them to leave Rafah because we are going to bomb there? Because they don’t want them there because they are trying not to kill them. So why would they tell them to leave? I mean, they’re not stupid, you know what I mean? It’s ridiculous.”

“But if there are Jewish students on the university campus who are pro-Hamas, then it is sad to admit that the Jewish people have a reputation for being intelligent. But clearly, there are many fools. They are ignorant. And they.” “They’re believing what they’re told and they’re ignoring history.”

Lovitz, a lifelong Democratic voter and outspoken supporter of Israel, now says he does not identify with either party after the events of October 7.

“For years, Jews, including me, have been, you know, mostly liberals and Democrats. So what do you do when the party you’ve been a part of your whole life is against you?” -Lovitz asked. “So they say, ‘No, they’re not.’ Really? Well, they just voted on it. They didn’t condemn hate towards you and 70 of them voted against it… The Democratic Party, it’s not what it used to be. “.
