Donald Trump made antisemitic comments at a pair of Jewish -hosted events on Thursday .

Historians say his comments could be a sobering threat to some of the Jewish community.

The Anti-Defamation League slammed Trump 's words as having "undermined" any efforts to combat bigotry by employing anti-Jewish stereotypes.

In earlier periods of American history, it is unlikely that pro-Israel Jews would have supported the Republican Party .

Some were known supporters of Hitler ; others were known to have been in the pay of the Nazis .

Trump 's recent diatribes against Jews may help him do so.
