“The United Nations’ attempt to disconnect the State of Israel from Jerusalem is a one-sided attempt to ignore Israel’s 3,000-year bond to its capital city, and is further evidence of the enormous anti-Israel bias of the UN. Jerusalem is the enduring capital of the Jewish People and the overwhelming majority of Congress has voted to recognize Jerusalem as just that,” the GOP nominee’s statement continued.

Trump added, “Further, the decision by the Obama Administration to strike the word ‘Israel’ after the word ‘Jerusalem’ in the President’s prepared text was a capitulation to Israel’s enemies, and a posthumous embarrassment to Shimon Peres, whose memory the President was attempting to honor. In a Trump Administration, Israel will have a true, loyal and lasting friend in the United States of America.”

The Republican candidate’s statement Thursday evening also comes just hours after he drew criticism from the president of the Anti-Defamation League for claiming at a campaign rally that the banks and media are conspiring against his candidacy.

“For those who control the levers of power in Washington and for the global special interests,” Trump said Thursday at a rally in Florida. “Our campaign represents a true existential threat like they haven’t seen before.”

“There is nothing the political establishment will not do, no lie that they won’t tell to hold their prestige and power at your expense,” he added. “And that’s what has been happening. The Washington establishment, and the financial and media corporations that fund it, exist for only one reason, to protect and enrich itself.

He then explained the intricate connection between bankers, the media and lawmakers in the nation’s capital.

“The Clinton machine is at the center of this power structure,” Trump continued. “We have seen this in the WikiLeaks documents in which Hillary Clinton meets in secret with international banks to plot the destruction of U.S. sovereignty in order to enrich these global financial powers, her special interest friends, and her donors.”

ADL president Jonathan Greenblatt was not thrilled with Trump’s remarks.

“Team Trump … should avoid rhetoric and tropes that historically have been used against Jews and still spur [anti-Semitism],” he said on social media. “Let’s keep hate out of [campaign].”
