What is the secular basis of Judaism? Practical need; self-interest. What is the worldly religion of the Jew? Huckstering. What is his worldly god? Money. Very well, then! Emancipation from huckstering and money—consequently from practical, real Judaism—would be the self-emancipation of our time. […]

… Money is the jealous god of Israel, in face of which no other god may exist. Money degrades all the gods of man and turns them into commodities. Money is the universal self-established value of all things. It has, therefore, robbed the whole world—both the world of men and nature—of its specific value. Money is the estranged essence of man’s work and man’s existence, and this alien essence dominates him, and he worships it.

The god of the Jews has become secularized and has become the god of the world. The bill of exchange is the real god of the Jew. His god is only an illusory bill of exchange. …

The antisemitism of the left is not new. Just for the record.

This is where the author is wrong.

Some Jews in the Diaspora, and many in Israel, see the rise of far right governments, in particular the Trump administration, as a source of rescue. This is a serious mistake. While these regimes might be hostile to the immigrant groups within which Islamist agitation has become entrenched, they draw their core support from nativist bases for which antisemitism is as integral to their belief systems as hostility to immigrants.

The *far right* is NOT hostile to immigrants. We are opposed to ILLEGAL invasion.

Nor is *antisemitism* "integral" to our belief system. Christianity does not allow for it.

There's also the factor he ignores completely and that is genuine Christian influence and attitude towards Jews. True believers in Christ are the best friends Israel has. And yet, the author barely even gives a passing mention of Christianity and Christian influence.

This conflict between Jews and particularly islam goes all the way back to Jacob and Esau and has spiritual roots imbedded in it that fuel and drive it, which explains the demonic grade evil perpetrated on the Jews.

Quick summary:

For the left, Jews have become the new White males—to be hated and discriminated against at every opportunity.

Most Jews are still in denial—just as normal non-political white males were shocked and in denial throughout most of the sixty years of anti white hate called “Affirmative Action” and later DEI.

The leftists have not turned into nazis. They are what they have always been: communists. (Now if you know your communist history— you can fairly say that the leftists have changed from being boshevik (man’s man killer) Russian communists to being German (panty waiste frankfurt school) communists.

The nazis are just communist light—or as we call them socialists.

This article is just about adjusting jewish predjudices—which is ok but its not calling it correctly.
