There is almost nothing Democrats can do to damage America, or Israel, that would change most American Jews' political leanings.
The latest example took place just last week. A college student speaking to the vice president of the United States, a Democrat, condemned America for supporting Israel, and charged Israel with committing "ethnic genocide" against Palestinians.
Harris's response?
"Your voice, your perspective, your experience, your truth cannot be suppressed, and it must be heard."
It was indeed the student's truth -- which means it was a lie. "Your truth" always means "a lie." When a person says something that is true, people don't say, "that is your truth." They say, "that's true."
And indeed, what the girl said to the vice president was a complete lie. Not a partial lie, a complete lie. As a rule -- except on the Left with regard to Israel -- groups that are victims of genocide decrease in number. Yet the Palestinians have had one of the highest population growth rates in the world. According to the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics, in 1991, there were 2,783,084 Palestinians living in the West Bank and Gaza. In 2021, there were 5,227,193. This number does not include another 2 million Palestinians who are citizens of Israel. How many other national or ethnic groups have doubled in size in the last 30 years?
Yet, despite this revealing incident, it is hard to imagine that one American Jew will in any way rethink his or her commitment to Biden-Harris.
One reason is that few Jewish Democrats even know it occurred. I Googled "new york times kamala harris george mason university" and the following results came up (in this order): New York Post, Politico, Times of Israel, JTA (Jewish Telegraphic Agency). Next came the New York Times -- an article from 2020: "Kamala Harris Makes History as First Woman and Woman of Color as Vice President."
I could find nothing about the incident in the news sections of the Washington Post or Los Angeles Times either.
Some of the most powerful forces in the Democratic Party (the reason for the $3.5 trillion spending bill) are indistinguishable in their hatred for Israel from Hamas, Hezbollah and the Iranian regime. Does this disturb American Jewish Democrats?
Not nearly as much as Donald Trump disturbed them. Most American Jews loathed Trump despite the facts that he was the most pro-Israel president since Harry Truman; that his daughter and grandchildren are religious Jews; and that he engineered the Abraham Accords, a peace agreement between the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain and Israel, which was followed by normalization of relations between Sudan and Israel and between Morocco and Israel.
Most American Jews believe the Democratic Party is a good and moral party and that the Republican Party is immoral and perhaps even evil.
This view is entirely emotional, which is why it is difficult to imagine it changing.
Most American Jews identify Republicans with the right and they assume "the right" means "fascist" or even "Nazi."
Most American Jews identify Republicans with the rich and powerful and the Democratic Party with the poor and downtrodden, even though the rich and powerful are overwhelmingly Democrats.
Most American Jews identify the Democratic Party with secularism and the Republican Party with religion (religious Christians and Orthodox Jews). And they are as committed to secularism as Christians are to Christ.
Most American Jews have signed on to just about every secular substitute for Judeo-Christian religions: feminism, environmentalism, "anti-racism," humanism, socialism. Jews, I have often noted, may well be the most religious people in the world -- but for the great majority of them, Judaism is not their religion. And the Democratic Party is the party of all these secular religions.
This is all a great tragedy -- not just for America but especially for American Jews.
America has always been the best country Jews have ever lived in outside of Israel. That is why a Jew wrote "God Bless America" (and did so at a time when antisemitism was much more prevalent and accepted in American society than it is today). That is why the most influential religious Jew of the 20th century, the Chabad leader, Rabbi Menachem Schneerson, described America as a (SET ITAL) medina shel chesed (END ITAL), a "country of kindness." Coming from Europe, he did not compare America to Utopia but to all the other countries Jews lived in.
Yet, something happened to American Jews after World War II. They veered more and more left -- becoming able to support America-hating movements (like the Black Panthers, for whom Leonard Bernstein and other prominent Jews in music and Broadway threw an infamous fundraiser).
And why did that happen? Because Jews became less and less committed to Judaism, substituted the New York Times for the Torah and went to college in greater proportions than any other ethnic or religious group in America. Colleges corrupt most students' values. Jews are no exception.
That helps explain why a Democratic vice president could praise a student who just told her that Israel commits ethnic genocide -- and have it mean nothing to most American Jews.
And the Aamerican sheeple still commit their offspring to the government education indoctrination asylums...
What's the difference? They all have enabled the communist's ludricously easy takeover of the country...
The biggest lie, one that Palestinians and Democrats choose to believe, is that Israel’s land belongs to the Palestinians, when it never once in history did. The word “Palestinian” itself has been highjacked by them, because they are really Jordanians, Egyptians, Syrians, etc. It is Democrats who wish to commit ethnic genocide against Jews by denying them their own land, which they have lived on since antiquity.
What does "Judeo-Christian" mean?
There is no “my truth” or “your truth” there is only THE truth.
Perhaps somebody here knows the answer to this. Something I have wondered about for years. Is there some kind of connection between the type of government the ancient Jewish nation once had, and socialism? Do they believe the kingdom was socialist under King David?
I suspect there must be something deeply ingrained for the Jewish people to consistently vote for anything socialist. Something deeper than the reasons we normally hear.
I have a lot of relatives in the New York area and in Massachusetts who are Catholic.
Happy to say, the majority of them are Republicans and love Donald Trump.
My late uncle was a Republican party official on Long Island years ago.
Yep right up to the shower stalls…regular rats too…
Give my regards to your buddies at Storefront.
Stormfront.
The Talmud is not the Bible.
And the US Constitution is more Bible-based than you give it credit for. Why do you think the left hates it so much?
My JEWISH MOTHER IN LAW told me she would NEVER be a Republican because we are TOO CHRISTIAN!!
CATHOLICS are only 50 % Democrat....Jews are like 90%.
Awww poor baby, did WLusvardi stating historical facts hurt your wittle feelings?
There is an interview with Leonard Susskind on the internet I watched not too long ago. One of the most shocking things he said when the interviewer said something along the lines of “so your parents were atheists?” and he said something like “no, they were Leftists” or something of that nature. I will have to find it.
There are people who will stop to vote for Democrats before they get on the train to the camp because the Democrats told them the Republicans will send them to the camps.
What “historical facts”? Lenin was a Russian, not. a Jew. Stalin was a Georgian, not a Jew. And both were former East Orthodox Christians, with Stalin even studying a priest at one point.
With regard to the Russian Revolution, you do know that both Lenin and Stalin were not Jews, right? They were both former East Orthodox Christians, with Stalin even studying to be a priest at one point (too bad he didn’t finish). Lenin was ethnically Russian (at least more or less, as much as can be determiined) and Stalin was a Georgian.
It’s not about individual freedom as much as Christianity is. Not even close.
Do you object to this?
So, do you not believe in G-d, or just reject the Hebrew Bible? Maybe you think it's "iron age nonsense" like Frankie Schaeffer?
