Actor and legendary comedian Jon Lovitz criticized the Democratic Party over its axis on Israel and its response to the rise in anti-Semitism in the United States since October 7th.
“You can vote for whoever you want,” Lovitz said in an interview with Fox. “But if you’re Jewish, we just passed an anti-Semitism condemnation bill that condemns hatred and violence against Jews. 70 people voted against it.” News Digital.
“And Chuck Schumer, who is Jewish, says we should have an election now in Israel. And the reason why President Trump and others were angry is because, ironically, Trump, we should hold an election in another country.” Don’t interfere in the middle of a war!” Lovitz shouted. “And Bernie Sanders was and is… I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. He’s a self-hating Jew. And there are a lot of people like that. ‘Why would you do that? ”I said, “They have to stop this war.” Why doesn’t he condemn what Hamas started? ”
“And no matter what you think about 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 Donald Trump, who was recently accused by liberals of being anti-Semitic for comments criticizing Jewish voters who voted Democratic despite tensions with Israel.
“I’ve actually met him over the years, and the weird thing about Trump is that he’s totally different than what you see on TV,” Lovitz told FOX News Digital. . “But if you want to say, ‘He’s an anti-Semite,’ I’d say: Well, I don’t know, but his daughter — he’s into Ivanka — converted to Judaism, is a Jewish He married a man and his grandchildren are Jewish.”

He continued, “There’s a beach club in Palm Beach, they don’t let Jews in there, it’s forbidden, and right next to that beach club there’s a beach club at Mar-a-Lago, and they don’t let Jews in there.” So who is more anti-Semitic, the club that bans Jews or the club that lets Jews in? They love Trump in Israel because he defended them. …People say Trump is anti-Semitic. It’s not because of his actions, it’s because the Democratic Party as a whole is not for Israel.”

This nutcase is a reference to “totally anti-Semitic” Rep. Ilhan Omar (D), who suggested that there are “pro-genocide” and “anti-genocide” Jews on both sides of the Israel-Hamas debate. (Minnesota) was opposed.
“First of all, if you’re a genocide supporter, that’s obviously terrible. I don’t care what you are,” Lovitz said. “But it is wrong to call what is happening in Palestine ‘genocide’. The German Nazis are just capitalizing on what happened to the Jews. That was genocide. Hamas There is no plan to wipe out all Palestinians.”If Israel really wanted to do that, they could have done it in less than a day. If you are going to commit genocide, if Israel is going to commit genocide of Palestinians, why are they now dropping pamphlets and texts in Arabic? And you say get out of Rafah because we’re going to bomb there, they don’t want you there because they’re trying not to kill them. I mean, they’re not stupid, you know what I mean? ridiculous. “
“But if you have pro-Hamas Jewish students on your college campus, it’s sad to acknowledge that Jews have a reputation for being smart. But clearly there are a lot of idiots. They’re ignorant. And they believe what they are told, and they ignore history.”

Lovitz, a lifelong Democrat and outspoken supporter of Israel, said he no longer sympathizes with either political party following the events of October 7.
“Jews, myself included, have been mostly liberals and Democrats for years, so what do you do when the party you’ve belonged to all your life turns against you?” Lovitz asked. “So they say, ‘No, it’s not.’ Really? Well, they didn’t condemn the hate against you. And 70 of them voted against it. Democrats. is not what it used to be.”
