The ‘Jexodus’ of Jews switching parties isn’t what the GOP is hoping for
Los Angeles Tombs ^ | APR 02, 2019 | ROB ESHMAN

To the organizers of Jexodus, the movement to lure Jews away from the Democratic Party and over to the GOP, I have good news and bad news.

The good news: There is a Jexodus! Jews, including many prominent intellectuals, have been bolting their longtime party en masse.

The bad news: The party they are leaving is the GOP.

Ever since the GOP rolled over and became the Party of Trump, normally stalwart Republican Jews have made it clear they can no longer abide what their party has become. The list includes Max Boot, Jennifer Rubin, Bill Kristol, David Frum, David Brooks and Bret Stephens.

No need to read the whole article; the last paragraph excerpted should offer a good hint as to where it's going.

Um.. yes....

Leaving because of the best President for Israel and Jewish people in decades.

That certainly makes sense.

We may be losing RINO neocons, but I’m hoping we’ll see some jews seeing the light.

So are they saying these people are joining the Democrats? If they can stomach AOC, Beto and Kamala, they’re no loss whatsoever.

Here it is, the "explanation" you knew was in there somewhere...
The Trump GOP mistreats and demonizes immigrants, winks at white supremacists, kisses up to tyrants, and turns its back on climate change. When Trump demeans the memory of McCain, this GOP cowers. It’s a party a lot of Republicans don’t recognize, much less Republican Jews.

Nothing but a bunch of NYT and Democrat canards.

Why add the ‘J’? The Original, Accept No Imitations, Exodus, was already Jews. Shouldn’t we call a WASPy one a Wexodus instead?

Oh no the moderate to conservative Democrats have finally stopped wearing the “R” Jersey and are donning the true colors. What shall we do?!?!

As to the article’it comes down to this: Trump is anti/Semitic cause, well, isn’t everyone who doesn’t toe the leftist line racist, homophobic, sexist and anti-Semitic by defenituon?

As for Ohmar’s comments and the dems embracing them. Phaaa, we all know it is by definition impossible for the dems to be racist, sexist, etc.

JINOs worship the God of Marx and Ba’al. See George Soros.

It's common for the news media to generalize by groups: male/female, white/black/brown, young/old, American/foreign, etc.

Where they get into trouble is when they try to use as a basis for an article or opinion piece something personal like religion. It's not something most Americans don't wear on their sleeve, or hang around their neck for that matter.

And journalists (here I am right now committing the same fallacy I accuse them of!) would appear to be, in general, not a good cross-section of the religious spectrum in this great country.

Some of my best friends have been Jewish, and whenever the topic arises, I usually find they do not base their politics on what alleged "Republican Jewish leaders" say or write, or (especially) the reasons, if any, that Christians mostly are in full support of the state of Israel. They are college-educated and have learned to think for themselves.

Any candidate or party attempting to use a person's religious beliefs--or non-beliefs--as bait to snare votes in 2020 will likely find it's a non-starter.

There are too many issues of national importance, and will likely be even more by November of next year, that will steal the limelight.

Of course, the national media will continue its campaign to influence voters' opinions with news stories and polls showing this group or that subset of the population is swinging to the Democrats.

They will support their "findings" with well-filtered comments by members of that group who will claim to have once voted Republican in the past, but not longer.

American Judaism is really something else. They have a neo-Talmud they follow. A new Torah. Woven into their new religion is liberalism. You can’t possibly be an intellectual and have a special relationship with God unless you are liberal. That trumps everything.

The dems are screaming hatred of Jews, you say. Well that is fine with the American Jews because I the dems don’t mean THEM. They mean the fascists in Israel.

Jexodus. No freaking way. American Judaism is at its core liberal. To separate the two would be to ask one not to be Jewish.

Thank you.

I appreciate your finding one (of several) identifiers in that op-ed that show who the author is down deep.

My guess is that most of the LA Times' subscribers won't even know who those neocons are.
