Caroline Glick: The Jewish vote is up for grabs, and it may decide the US election
Arutz Sheva ^ | 4/5/24 | Caroline Glick

Posted on 05/04/2024 4:32:13 PM PDT by Eleutheria5

(JNS) A few weeks ago, a sermon by Reform Rabbi Ammiel Hirsch, the senior rabbi at the Steven Wise Free Synagogue in New York, shocked millions from that city to Tel Aviv. Standing at his pulpit, Hirsch delivered a stern warning to the Democrats.

Noting that he is someone “who is finely attuned to American Jewish sentiment,” Hirsch told Democratic elected officials: “Do not take American Jews for granted.”

Hirsch explained, “I have spoken to many American Jews in the past few months who have surprised me with their anxiety about developments in the Democratic Party, and their perception that it is becoming increasingly hostile to Israel, and tolerant of anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism in its own ranks.”

“Be careful,” Hirsch warned. “The results of the upcoming election do not only depend on Michigan.”

Many dismissed his remarks with a shrug of their shoulders. For decades, Republicans have asked conservative Jews to explain how it is that American Jews vote for Democrat Party candidates even though Republicans are so much more supportive of Israel. The question comes so frequently that most conservative Jews can give the answers in their sleep.

First, most American Jews see themselves first and foremost as Democrats or liberals, not as Jews. They love Israel, but it’s not really a voting issue for them. And second, the Jewish vote doesn’t matter because most American Jews live in deep blue states that will never tilt Republican.

I would say that New York might be up for grabs, but not solely because of Jewish walkaways. New York is now such a sh!t show that union members, minority communities and upstate could combine with a number of upper class NY Jews for one simple reason. The upper-east-siders were fine with anti-Israel demonstrations, with which they sympathize, so long as it didn't affect their bubble world, which included sending their kids to Columbia U and not getting assaulted or harassed. Now that that bubble has burst, they might stay home, and take it all out on Brandon, even though they would never vote Trump. Many of them are lawyers, and they know a malicious prosecution when they see it, but their hatred of conservatives will prevent them from actively voting for Trump.

The NY Democrat coalition is crumbling, and Upper East Side Jews staying home would be the last straw. The Orthodox vote Republican anyway.

To the extent the ‘Rats determine this Jew or that one won’t vote... they’ll just go ahead and vote for them.

No demographic wins or loses the next election. It will not be like any other election. So-called “swing states” are merely deep state operations that divide We the People.

Listen deeply to Trump’s speeches. He often laces them with nuggets.

Biggest deportation program in American history.

“The diamonds MUST be returned!”

Not going to steal 2024. No way - there is MUCH to happen before November. Buckle up!

“Up for grabs?” If they haven’t gotten the message yet they never will.

I’m so tired of “this group” or “that group” will decide the election. No.

American Jews are Democrats first.

Trump will get a greater share of Arab Muslim votes than Jewish votes.

Why? Because most Arab Muslims in America are small business owners. Trump is offering them a better deal.

And they don't give two s**ts about Palestine.

This is all wishful thinking. The special election in NY 26, the Democrat did better than in 2022.

Jewish Americans may finally be waking up to the fact that the KKK kill the jew Democrats are not their friends!

The left just used you to advance their leftist agenda and will quickly discard you once you are no longer useful to their cause.

Like the rest of the American people....one LAST chance at the ballot box.

Approximately 7.3 million Jewish people in the US. 2020.
Earlier estimate of 1.3 million children in 2013.

Estimated 3.7 million “Arabs.”

3.4 millions Americans are “Muslims.” Largest non-Christian religion in 20 US states.

First, most American Jews see themselves first and foremost as Democrats or liberals, not as Jews.

I'm not a huge Ben Shapiro fan, but he has posted nice descriptions of this, basically summarizing the idea that "Most Jews aren't Jews". Meaning that ethnic Jews often care very much about leftwing politics and that the goals of communism are their modern religion. Most of those Jews do not actively practice the religion of Judaism. Hence the paradox that "Most Jews aren't Jews".

It would be a huge win if Jews abandoned the ideology of the Left and perhaps came back to Judaism. Jews should be Jews.

Caroline Glick is a brilliant commentator on Jewish and Israeli political issues.

On this issue, she is completely wrong.

80% of Jewish Americans vote Democrat - election, after election, after election.

I will be shocked if 10% of Jewish Americans even THINK about voting Republican.

What’s it going to take for the Jews to turn on the Democratic Party?

It shouldn’t be up for grabs. Every Jewish person should not vote for a Democrat for the rest of their lives. They can’t be trusted at all.

Trump needs to put it to them straight. Win or lose they vote for the rats and they’re on their own.
