Former President Donald Trump marked the anniversary of the October 7 attacks on Israel with a series of speeches and visits to significant Jewish sites. At a remembrance event in Florida, he vowed to 'remove the Jew haters' if reelected and discussed the implications of the US-Israeli relationship on his potential return to office. Trump criticized Jewish Democrats, claiming their party is responsible for antisemitism, while also expressing frustration that Israel does not support him. He proposed that Israel 'needs to get smart' about backing him, stating that the October 7 attack 'would never have happened' if he were president. His comments during this memorial have drawn criticism, being labeled as 'vile' and 'shameless' by some observers. Throughout the commemorative events, including a surprise visit to the Lubavitcher Rebbe's grave in New York City, Trump emphasized the importance of remembering the tragedy and called for continued solidarity against threats like Hamas.
