American Jews: On the Path to Self Destruction?
American Thinker ^

Posted on 10/22/2025 8:27:19 AM PDT by DIRTYSECRET

When it comes to the rise of antisemitism, there is plenty of blame to go around. Much of the anti-Jewish agenda finds its support from the Jews themselves. Since the “woke” agenda was primarily supported on the Left, Jews backed the woke agenda, to their own detriment.

Perhaps the most blatant example of this dynamic we’re now seeing is the support that New York Jews are giving to Zohran Mamdani for mayor.

Jews must fight for themselves because no one else will.

Getting sick of this elephant in the room.

Why should Jews fight for themselves when they can get christians to do it for them? It could help explain why there was a holocaust.

I have no idea why Jews seem to be self destructive when it comes to politics, but they are.

Jews, God’s People, have been on the path to self destruction and lost their way almost since day one, 4000 years ago. Only the faithfulness of the Lord from whom Israel is estranged, is the reason they are miraculously around and thriving.

Soon Israel will reunite with their Lord and Messiah.

Mostly Jews who aren’t Jewish.

There are plenty of people in the world who call themselves Christian, as a matter of birth and nation, but are not.

Most of the global Left who aren’t outright atheists are like this.

To mix metaphors, God is separating His sheep from the goats... By their fruits ye shall know them.

Most American Jews are Jewish as an ethnic group, not as a religious denomination. Their values are the secular values of their European ancestors. That explains their embrace of Leftism over even their very survival.

The ones supporting commies and fascists like Mamdani, Biden, Antifa, etc are not Jews. Kinda like RINOs, they wear a skin but are evil underneath.

The Amish thrive here. The’d all be dead in other places. Their separate customs here are protected by law and they thrive.

Perhaps we should do the same by eliminating their voting rights(jews). Racist? They can still thrive in every field like they do now. They kinda remind me of Rand Paul sometimes.

When they’re supporting the likes of mamdani, the obvious answer is *Yes*.

That is the 4000-year history of the Jews - they never knew who their Friend was and kept and keep trying to be friends with the world who hates them.

Soon Israel will reunite with their True Friend and Messiah.

muslims don’t care whether Jews are Jews in practice or not.

They care about heritage.

If they’re Jews by heritage, they’re goners should islamists take control.

"Orthodox Jews, however, stand out as a small subgroup (roughly one-in-ten Jewish adults) whose political profile is virtually the reverse of Jews as a whole: 60% of Orthodox Jews describe their political views as conservative, 75% identify as Republicans or lean toward the GOP, and 81% approved of Trump's job performance at the time of the survey."

Source: U.S. Jews’ political views Pew Research Center

This becomes a problem of language amd collective nouns. Jews. Christians. And so on.

An alteration to your comment might illustrate:

Why should "atheist Reform and Reconstructionist" Jews fight for themselves when they can get "ELCA 'Jesus was gay' " christians to do it for them?

I suspect the divisions in this modern era are not between "collective noun" groups, but between political leanings. Many Orthodox side with the pro-life Catholics, as an example. Or, per the Pew quote above, "60% of Orthodox Jews describe their political views as conservative, 75% identify as Republicans or lean toward the GOP, and 81% approved of Trump's job performance at the time of the survey."

Since "Christians" is such a problematic collective noun -- as we watch the very real schism between UK CoE and GAFCON -- "The Global Fellowship of Confessing Anglicans" -- the collective "Jews" seems to be losing its "collection," with Leftists, whether labeling themselves Jews or Christians, are in a same and very real schism with political conservatives.

These days, when I drive past a congregation, I tend to reinterpret the names of Leftist-leaning groups to Beth Democrat, St. Obama's and the Church of the Divine Reparations.

“That, however, didn’t stop more than 600 Jewish organizations from signing a full-page New York Times ad in 2020 endorsing BLM’s efforts.”

Sometimes I think that they back organizations that loathe them as a way to appease them into not hating them so much.

It’s usually a bad strategy.

The article makes a very substantial point but is dangerously over-inclusive.

There is Jewish Suicide Syndrome. It is both dangerous for the Jewish people and also pathetic

You find this aberrant behavior among those so-called Jews who have replaced any genuine faith with worldly “causes” like communism, “progressivism “ or “socialism,” etcetera. All cut of the same cloth. All “idealistic” in vocabulary and, alas, oppressive in actual practice. For the most part, the leftist “jewish” adherents are stuck on the idealistic vocabulary and tragically blind to the rest l.

We really must be aware that “the Jews” is a terribly gross over- generalization. There are hundreds of thousands of Jews of good faith who strongly oppose electing an antisemitic communist supporter of Islamic terrorist murder gangs to public office. Many, many Jews. Probably a minority, certainly among “liberals” and “reforms,” (sic) — but a significant number nonetheless.

So you believe that most American Jews aren't descended from the original Hebrews?
