Some of my Jewish Facebook friends have unfairly attacked me in recent weeks.
Unfairly – considering that I have close Jewish friends in real life, not just on Facebook.
Unfairly – considering that I have read at least 30 fundamental studies on the Holocaust, with a bleeding heart.
Unfairly – considering that I have always admired this unique and remarkable people.
Unfairly – considering that in the mid-1970s, when we, as students, were sending off our Soviet Jewish friends from Kharkiv who were emigrating, I was the only one among my fellow students who went to see them off—without a care (ah, the naïve and innocent youth!) for the lurking KGB agents.

But!
But a month before the U.S. elections, I wrote with concern that one of the four powerful pro-Trump lobbies was the Jewish one.
And yes, it was. Along with the lobby of producers and traders of strategic resources, the lobby of ultra-right politicians, and the lobby of American mega-billionaires.
I predicted that this would decisively tip the scales in Trump’s favor.

Israel firmly supported Trump and rejoiced when the U.S. elected him.
The split in the democratic community occurred precisely because we, the pro-Ukrainian, pro-democracy supporters, were against Trump, while Israel was for him.
Israel supported Trump not just because of its prime minister. They try to explain everything—the good and the bad—through their prime minister…

Israel did not care what was happening to Ukraine when it was thinking about itself. Perhaps that is its right.
But what is my fault in the eyes of my Jewish Facebook friends for stating things as I see them? And saying them with pain for Ukraine…

Trumpism is a serious disease, a tumor in the brain.
And if, in your Trumpism, you say A, you will inevitably reach Z.

Yesterday’s disgraceful vote by Israel at the UN is not the pinnacle of shame—it is merely a continuation of the Trumpism disease shaking Israel in the eyes of the international community.
No one will benefit from Trump—there are only harms from Trump.
Trump is inflicting and will continue to inflict harm on Israel.
Israel will gain nothing by undermining Ukraine—whether voluntarily or involuntarily—through its pathological Trumpism.

A strong wave of anti-Americanism will rise in the world.
This wave of anti-Americanism will quickly count to three and notice who Trump’s closest international partner is—and that will be Israel.
And then, an even stronger wave of anti-Semitism will rise.

This is what Israel will "gain" from Trump.
I have no doubt about it.

Trump has betrayed every friend of the U.S. and democracy—except those he hasn’t had the chance to betray yet. But he will.
He betrayed Ukraine.
He will betray Taiwan.
And he will betray Israel.

Trump is a plague, and this disease does not choose people or nations based on ideological considerations. It strikes indiscriminately.

Until now, we thought that Putin was the greatest Evil.
Yes, Putin is the greatest Evil.
Trump is just the *greater, greatest, absolute greatest* Evil.

It’s a pity that Israel does not understand this.
And there is no reason for some of my Jewish Facebook friends to attack me.
Who am I that they should attack me?

If that could help Israel—fine, let them attack me.
But only Israel can help itself—by returning to its true friends—Europe, the Democratic world.

Otherwise, it is putting its own survival at risk.

**Trump is not a friend of Israel but its mortal enemy—with everything he does. And everything he doesn’t do.**
