Donald Trump: Terror Attack on Israel an ‘Act of Savagery,’ Must Be ‘Crushed and Avenged’

Former President Donald Trump declared the latest terror attack against Israel an “act of savagery that must and will be crushed and avenged” during a campaign stop in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, on Saturday.

“I stood proudly with our friend and ally, the state of Israel—and I will do it again,” Trump told the crowd as he began to discuss the recent violent terror attacks against Israel by Hamas.

The Palestinian terror attack happened on the Jewish holiday of Shemini Atzeret, the final day of the annual High Holy Day cycle.

“The terror invasion of Israeli territory and the murder of Israeli soldiers and citizens is an act of savagery that must and will be crushed and avenged. It has to be crushed,” Trump declared. “Israel is at war, and the United States has to support Israel. There has been no better president for Israel than me.”

Trump said the attack on Israel happened because President Joe Biden gave Iran $6 billion, and “our country’s perceived weakness.”

“I predicted War on Israel immediately after it was announced that Joe Biden gave $6 billion to Iran. They got so much money,” Trump said. “At this time, Israel and the United States need very strong partnership and leadership. You gotta have strong leaders. If you don’t have strong leaders, it doesn’t matter how many army tanks you have.”
