Sorry, President Trump. Here’s why American Jews aren’t abandoning the Democratic Party.
The Washington Post ^ | March 22, 2019 | Michael Tesler

President Trump has recently encouraged Jewish Americans to eschew their long-standing affiliation with the Democratic Party — a movement he and others refer to as “Jexodus.” He tweeted out claims that Jews are now leaving the Democrats over the party’s position on Israel.

“Jewish people are leaving the Democratic Party. We saw a lot of anti Israel policies start under the Obama Administration, and it got worsts & worse. There is anti-Semitism in the Democratic Party. They don’t care about Israel or the Jewish people.” Elizabeth Pipko, Jexodus. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 12, 2019 The president then cited his administration’s pro-Israeli policies of withdrawing from the Iran nuclear accords and moving the U.S. Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem as reasons Jewish Americans should switch to the Republican Party.

The ‘Jexodus’ movement encourages Jewish people to leave the Democrat Party. Total disrespect! Republicans are waiting with open arms. Remember Jerusalem (U.S. Embassy) and the horrible Iran Nuclear Deal! @OANN @foxandfriends — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 15, 2019 Yet as several commentators noted, there is no evidence whatsoever that there’s a Jexodus underway. Three factors, in particular, make it highly unlikely that such a mass shift will occur any time soon.

Here’s the background

American Jews have consistently identified with the Democratic Party over the Republican Party by a 2-to-1 margin in Pew Research Center Surveys conducted from 1994 to 2018.

I would be curious to hear from a Jewish Democrat on this.

I can’t read it without enabling ads for them.

What is their argument for Jews not leaving the plantation?

It’s been a mystery to me why Jews have remained mostly Democrat. Leftist anti-semitism was rearing its head during the Clinton era, and they did not seem to mind. The situation has only gotten worse since then. I wonder at what point the anti-semitism will become too much for them to tolerate?

Jews never thought Hitler was a threat either, matter of fact many Jews embraced him and the Nazi party. Most were truly surprised just before they were murdered and tossed into the pits...

with the likes of Harris Sanders Warren etc not showing up at AIPAC, on the heels of that disastrous Ilhan Omar reaction, i do believe some Dems will have serious doubts. in general my experience is that in many cases their loyalty to Dem party ranks above their devotion to Judaism - because many are secular bagel Jews, not religious civilizational Jews.

Most modern Jews worship the State. A society built on individual freedom without a massive nanny-state to manage people's lives is completely alien to them.

It's really that simple, folks.

To see if the Compost is right, I’d encourage a read of both the articles and, more importantly, the “Coffee Room “ (aka Forum) of theyeshivaworld.com.

It’s a Hasidic/Orthdox website; most items of little interest to gentiles. But just go read the comments in the political threads.

When will white Christian males as a voting bloc be addressed? My issues are illegal immigration, ending foreign intervention and crushing international socialism.

Michael Tesler doesn’t know there’s no such thing as a DemocratIC Party.

Jews will not leave the Dems. After centuries of persecution it is more important for them to “just fit in”.
