It was ironic to see many of the same liberals, who recently fought to prop up the world’s most powerful Jew-hating terror state, lecturing us on the importance of combating anti-Semitism. But there they were yesterday.

For those who confuse progressivism with Judaism — which is to say many — it might be difficult to understand that undermining the Democratic Party isn’t an act of anti-Semitism. The Trump administration, in fact, has been the most pro-Jewish in memory.
Every Jew who’s ever prayed understands the importance of Jerusalem in our faith, culture, and history. It was President Trump, not any of the other presidents who promised the same, who recognized Jerusalem as the undisputed Jewish capital, putting an end to the fiction that it’s a shared city.
It was Trump who withdrew from the Iran deal and once again isolated the single most dangerous threat to Jewish lives in the world, the Holocaust-denying theocrats of the Islamic Republic.
It was Trump who cut more than $200 million in aid to a Palestinian government that was not only inciting terrorists (including the murder of a Jewish-American citizen named Ari Fuld; but since he never wrote for The Washington Post, you might not have heard of him) but also rewarded the killers’ families.
It was his administration that kicked the Palestine Liberation Organization, the most successful Jewish-civilian murdering organization of the past 60 years, out of DC. It was the Trump administration that cut funding to the anti-Semitic U.N. Relief and Works Agency. It was also the Trump administration that turned around the unique Obama-era legacy of standing against Israel at the United Nations. And it is his administration that cracked down on anti-Semitism on college campuses and that deported one of the last real-life Nazis.

I agree. Excellent precis of the influence of Judaism in our culture. I am grateful for the science, history and all they have given us. We would have no Christianity if we hadn’t had Judaism. And the two go together quite well if left alone to develop their history.
As long as there is a Second Amendment, there will never be an ‘American Holocaust”
There’s still enough tough Jews who remember their history correctly to fall for this ‘disarmament’ crap.
He makes many valid points, and some I disagree with. Overall a worth while read though.
“Excellent article”

Democrats would be right at home in Nazi Germany, the little Eichmanns.
But clarifying this distinction is a sisyphean task, since the vast majority of American Jews believe this to be true, as shown by their voting record ...
Conundrum: For years socialistic parties have been known for their antisemetic views. Yet, as in the US, the Jewish voters continue to support the left. Given the Republican record of support for Isreal you would think that the majority of Jews would support the Republican party, but it does not. They are also stuck on the Democrat plantation. Self-loathing or death wish?
I still think via Saul Alinsky that the Left is the party of the devil. I can’t help but believe they are a bunch of dirty tricksters.
Everything the Left does is done out of bad faith.
The shooter was a Never Trumper because he hated jews. That is not Trumps fault in any way shape or form. Would be interesting to find out who he voted for. Said he did not vote for Trump.
With neither faith developing dependencies on human government policy (although accepting divinely arranged assists in a godly way) the both can get along fine.
The best witness of Christianity is what Christians actually do.
It’s philosophizing that “liberal” policies will best protect Jewish people. But that’s a very dangerously unreliable assumption when it comes to modern secular liberalism. Modern secular liberalism will just as soon exalt Jews’ very worst enemies, which aren’t even the craziest warp possible on Christianity, but things like Islam.
I don’t see the media getting a response from CAIR on the shooting. It’s probably celebrating like it’s 9-11 again.
