Time will tell if the Dems have lost significant Jewish support. Meanwhile, let’s not count our Latkes before they’re fried.

Hitler was a socialist. Nazi is short for Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (The National Socialist German Workers’ Party) and the red in the flag was adopted to make it easier for communists and socialists to switch to the Nazi Party.

And the democrats will be the ones who support such action.

It’s like the inmates of Auschwitz voting for their SS guards.

The left wing, including its Jews, hate Israel. I think the leftwing Jews would be OK with Israel if only they didn’t have Netanyahu. Yeah, they’re that nuts.

IIRC, Hitler was a social democrat. Think I used Socialist incorrectly. I believe the word I was looking for was Marxist.

No, unless Netanyahu was replaced with Abbas or Haniyeh.

The American Jews need to grow up and start voting like they want USA to survive ( and as a land of liberty, not an islamoNazi police state). They can vote for either major party in most years - that’s just fine. — but they definitely should not support the D party now that, while the nazis have seized control of it.

American Jews typify the notion, ‘voting against your own self interest’. Most of the Jews that I know and like are Israelis.

American Jews are liberal first, Jewish later.

The demonicrat party has been marxist to its rotten core since at least the 1950s. No sane person should support it; it is flat out evil.

I think the vast majority of Americans, regardless of religious or ethnic background, don’t want to admit that.

THE HOLOCAUST AND FDR’S ANTI-SEMITISM AND ANTI-CATHOLICISM

Robert Michael

The records of the Casablanca Conference contain the clearest and most significant evidence concerning the President attitudes toward the Jews and the basic reason why he did nothing to end the anti-refugee policy of the United States.

The conference took place in January 1, 1943 in the middle of the period when the mass murder of Jews was taking place in Europe. By this time, Roosevelt knew nearly everything about these atrocities. Roosevelt had been informed over the years by American diplomats and American press reports about the Jewish condition in Europe.1 Moreover, in December 1942 the Polish government in exile had accurately informed the U.S. government of many of the facts of the Holocaust.

Yet at Casablanca, Roosevelt amazingly seemed to sympathize with Nazi discrimination against Jews. He proposed to Generals Noguès and Giraud that the French government in North Africa discriminate against the Jews of French North Africa just as Hitler had done in Germany before the war .2) Roosevelt stated that the number of Jews engaged in the practice of the professions . . . should be definitely limited to the percentage that the Jewish population in North Africa bears to the whole North African population. He endorsed the same plan for Germany.

Limiting the number of Jews in the professions, he stated, would further eliminate the specific and understandable complaints which the Germans bore toward the Jews in Germany, namely, that while they represented a single part of the population, over 50 per cent of the lawyers, doctors, school teachers, college professors, etc., in Germany were Jews. 3)

Roosevelt’s misinformation and solutions were shared by American Ambassador to Germany, William Dodd, who had written to Charles Crane that he, Dodd, had told the Germans unofficially that they had a serious [Jewish] problem but that they did not know how to solve it. The Jews had held a great many more of the key positions in Germany than their numbers or their talents entitled them to. 4)

The errors in Roosevelt statements were telling, because they mirrored modern antisemitic stereotypes. In the interwar period, the facts are that Jews comprised about 16 percent of German lawyers, 11 percent of physicians, 4 percent of the university teachers, and 1 percent of teachers in lower grades. 5 )

At Casablanca, F.D.R.’s comments echoed Nazi and American anti-Jewish propaganda of the 1930s. Father Coughlin praised the National-Socialists¸ understandable effort to block the Jewish-Communist plan for subjugating Germany.6 Congressman Louis McFadden had encouraged Hitler¸s attempts to destroy the alleged Jewish control of the German economy, media, education, and professions.7)

For President Roosevelt, America was a “Protestant” nation,8) and Jews were here on suffrance. F.D.R.s feelings about Jews are clear’. One day in January 1942, Roosevelt proclaimed to a shocked Crowley: Leo, you know this is a Protestant country, and the Catholics and the Jews are here on sufferance. It is up to both of you [Crowley and Henry Morganthau, a Jew and Secretary of the Treasury] to go along with anything that I want at this time. 9)

The rest of the history

" . . . and philo-Semitic political strategists everywhere."

What is a philo-Semite? I don't think I've ever seen that in print before and I've got over 70 orbits around the sun under my belt.

Why does the party of the KKK, Know-Nothings, Woodrow Wilson, Knights of the Golden Circle, Bull Connor, anti-Isreali anti-Semitism, George Wallace, Jim Crow and Jewish lynchings "have" the Jews in the first place?

Please, regardless of whatever else you may say about him, George Wallace was NOT anti-Jewish at all. From what I've heard from a Jewish guy who lived in Montgomery at the time Wallace was governor, Wallace had friendly relations with the Jewish community there, and reputedly even had some Jewish relatives via intermarriage. To the best of my knowledge (in contrast to other prominent Democrats like FDR and Truman whom the posted article conveniently ignores), no anti-Semitic statements, writings, or actions were ever attributed to him.

The Jews love their liberal ideology more than they do this country. Hell, they don’t even care about their kinsmen in Israel!
