I was recently in a waiting room and they had CNN on the TV. Christine Amanpour. She interviewed 3 people about the current situation regarding Israel. It went something like this:
— Palestinian living in Gaza: “Israel is committing atrocities and the world must make them stop.”
— Arab working for al-Jazeera: “Israel is committing atrocities and the world must make them stop.”
— Jewish Israeli woman who lives in Tel-Aviv: “Israel is committing atrocities and the world must make them stop.”
SMH at that last one.
I have a theory that a long time ago, some famous rabbi or group of rabbis got together and prayed for Jews to be brilliant in the areas of science, medicine, law, finance, etc. God granted that, but said that it would come at a cost, that cost being that they would be mentally retarded when it came to politics. I know, it’s not really a serious theory, and I have nothing to back it up with, but it would explain a lot. I simply cannot understand how so many of my fellow Jews can remain leftists after seeing how the left has thrown Israel and Jews under the bus - not just in the last year, but for a long time before that. These people are absolutely asleep at the switch, and they are unable to objectively look at their own point of view and recognize errors, or recognize that perhaps the political parties have changed a lot over the last several decades. They disgust me, but I will make fun of and aggravate these leftist morons as much as possible, just because it is enjoyable to watch them squirm.
“I have spent the last year angry at Jews.”
I’ve been the same my entire adult life, since they practically underwrite the entire Democrat Party (regarding Jews in the US, not Israel).
The blindness of the Jews not only is political, it is spiritual too. One would say the spiritual blindness causes political blindness.
Romans 11 verse 25
For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles be come in.
Jews in the U.S. are an urban population, they congregate in big cities. They vote as all urban dwellers in the U.S. vote, for democrats.
The divide in the U.S. politically is primarilary an urban vs. rural one. Urbanites wake up every day and are immediately bombarded with government in some form or fashion, as soon as they walk out of their apartment everything that surrounds them is a product of government. If something isn’t right the first thing through their mind is “the government needs to fix this”. Rural dwellers only interact with government in a negative sense, it’s someone from the government sending them a letter demanding more money or telling them they have to do XYZ with their land which invariably costs them money and hassles. Government is mostly a parasite to rural dwellers, it interferes with their lives far more than any benefits it offers.
Jews in the U.S. vote their urban lifestyle, Israel is a long way away and doesn’t factor into their lives. While many will proclaim they’re jewish, they’re just ethnically jewish and aren’t very religious at all. Their urban existence overrides any teneous loyalties they have to Israel.
Netanyahu said blaming him for Oct 7 would be like blaming Bush for 911... so yeah...
Half the posters on this thread must be feds.
Haven’t seen this much pathetically stupid antisemitic crap since a bunch of fbi agents walked down the street wearing khakis and polos pretending to be civilians.
“” Karol Markowicz does a great podcast too.””
A part in the Bible says God has blinded Jews to some truths until His appointed time. Granted that may mean more about belief about Messiah, but their stubborness all through the Bible largely explains Jews of today voting democrat and otherwise making their own life harder with all those who hate Jews but use them for their own gain.
Nothing is ever really about the person, but what spiritual influence the person chooses to allow inhabit them and act thru them.
The headline is missing an adjective. It should read “liberal” or “delusional” or “self-hating” Jews. Or as we said in the old days “kapos” or “collaborators”
And yes, they make me more angry than the islamo-fascists and their ivy league apologists.
