Although many Jewish organizations and groups are leaning towards the Republican candidate in the US presidential elections, Donald Trump, at the expense of his Democratic competitor, Kamala Harris, the religious American Jewish writer Neil Orwitz believes that Jews have every reason to fear Trump's election and his presidency of America.

In an analysis published by the "National Interest" magazine, Orwitz, the executive director of foreign relations in Washington, said: "From a purely political point of view, we can see why Trump believes that he deserves every Jewish vote. During his previous presidency of the United States, he moved the US embassy to Jerusalem in Israel and cut taxes on wealthy Americans and Jews from the wealthiest religious sects in the United States. However, opinion polls show that Trump lost a large percentage of the Jewish vote. In fact, he preempted the election by saying that if he lost it, the Jews would be the reason."
“But this kind of behavior on Trump’s part is normal. He says that every Jew who knows history is appalled. It also ties in with people who think that every proud Jew (including me) is disgusting. In addition, Trump and his supporters have promoted countless anti-Semitic conspiracy theories.”
“That’s why Trump can’t be a good choice for Jews. On the contrary, for all Jews who care about American Jewry, or Jewish friends, don’t vote for him in the next election,” he said, noting that he doesn’t know whether Trump is anti-Semitic or whether he will continue his extremely dangerous comments. History forces Jews to live with the simple principle of “when someone tells you the truth, believe them, but we don’t want to believe what Trump says is the truth.”
“Perhaps the most horrific thing about Trump is his threat to use the National Guard and the military against domestic enemies,” he said. This was not a slip of the tongue by the former president and current candidate. He has said it four times on separate occasions, but most recently in an interview with Joe Logan, he meant it. He also said he would be a dictator "whatever that means, even in 1 day." The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff during Trump's previous term also said that Trump fits the definition of fascism perfectly and that he "prefers a dictatorial style of government."
"The terrible reality that Jews face is that dictators who incite fear among their internal enemies, use the military against their own people and accept no checks on their power, and Hitler and the Holocaust are also the most vivid examples of the practices of this type of ruler. There is also the Inquisition of King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella and the final expulsion of the Jews from Spain; Joseph Stalin's campaign of repression against the Jews in the Soviet Union; and many other examples of mass expulsions of Jews that there is not enough space to mention."
"The second problem is that Trump is surrounded by a lot of people who do not believe that these events actually happened to the Jews, and at worst, that the Jews deserved what happened to them. The Trump team is full of anti-Semites. There’s Kanye West, who is known for literally and publicly praising Hitler. And Nick Fuentes, who denies that the Nazis killed 600 million Jews during the Holocaust. And there’s the openly anti-Semitic “Proud Boy” who told Trump — get ready to go. He also noted that “Trump himself is parroting some of the most horrific anti-Semitic conspiracy theories.” He constantly talks about the “dual loyalty” lie and says that American Jews have a stronger loyalty to Israel than to America. He also reiterates that “global” Jews, such as billionaire George Soros, U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, and banker and investor Lloyd Blankfein, are secretly controlling the world.
“Historically, when dictators look for internal enemies, dual-loyalty groups have been the easiest targets to target,” he added.
“The majority of Republicans are not anti-Semites, and while Republicans from George W. Bush to Sam Brownback have been among the most eloquent defenders of Jews, Trump has unfortunately succeeded in alienating the traditional generation of party leaders. There is only a group of hardliners who crave authoritarian power, share anti-Semitic conspiracy theories, and do not see anti-Semitism as corrupt, and for good reason, Jews see this as a terrible combination.”
Finally, Ulewitz says, “Jews cannot and should not bet on leaders like Trump. Non-Jewish Americans should also consider not electing Trump as a true expression of friendship to Jews who really need it now.”
