Jews slam Trump for 'anti-Semitic' comments Saturday

U.S. President Donald Trump is being accused of anti-Semitism for his comments at a pro-Israel Jewish gathering Saturday

Trump called members of the Israeli American Council (IAC), 'brutal killers' and 'not nice people at all,' recalling his experiences in the real estate business.

Audience members said the President used anti-Semitic stereotypes to characterize Jews as driven by money.

Trump said: "Even if you don't like me – some of you don't [and] some of you I don't like at all actually – you're going to be my biggest supporters, because you'll be out of business in about 15 minutes if they [the opposition party Democrats] get in."

In response, Rabbi Danya Ruttenberg tweeted:

"It's not even coded anti-Semitism. It's not a dog whistle. He's saying this. Out loud. To a room full of Jews. (Who laugh, wtaf white supremacy is a hell of a drug)".

This isn't the first time Trump has been rebuked for his statements about Jews. While speaking to the Republican Jewish Coalition in December 2015, he came under fire for saying, "You're not going to support me because I don't want your money."

Jewish leaders say support for Trump's (Republican ) party has fallen sharply, because his policies and rhetoric are incompatible with Jewish values.

On the other hand, the international community has widely condemned Trump for moving the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem from Tel Aviv. And, despite international consensus, the Trump Administration announced it will no longer consider Israel settlements in the Palestinian Territories as "illegal."
