"Many of us have been fiercely supportive of Democratic candidates and principles," a letter signed by Orley and hundreds of others stated.

Well then, many of you have been blind. Because El-Sayed did not pop out of nowhere. He is the culmination of years of the Democratic Party moving toward hardcore anti-Israel and ultimately, anti-Jewish rhetoric and positions. Liberal Jews buried their heads in the sand and held onto the baseless notion that "Republican = Nazi" for way too long. Now the party doesn't want them. Its not just this one candidate.

Exactly right. It reminds me of that Solzhenitsyn quote. Not as horrifying, obviously, but it's the same general idea. What would things be like if Jews had not overwhelmingly supported leftist democrats for the past... forever?

"And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward."
~ Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

After the October 7th Massacre and subsequent protests by the modern left, it was stated that Jews would have to reassess their relationship to that movement. In Israel many of those murdered by the palestinians were leftist sympathizers. My impression is that the left is pretty much finished in Israel.

If the modern left cannot reconstitute itself without their vicious bigoted racism, then Jews will move elsewhere.
