re is a wonderful story about a Jewish man on his knees praying and thanking God in a concentration camp. His friend asked what he could possibly be thanking God for and he answered, “I am thanking God I am not like them.”

Wow

Hard for me to add any comment to this story. I will never understand how my fellow Jews could have voted for this creep in such numbers.

Sadly, I am well aware of the phenomenon.

They hate Israel for the same reason they hate America: because it is good. Not perfect, by any means, but good. And that is not good enough for those who have substituted for the God of Abraham, the God of Progress. The former made us imperfect and is merciful. The latter demands perfection and is merciless.

I would bet they have always been leftists.

When dining with ultra liberals, I have learned to keep my opinions to myself. Showing any mercy for those who do not share their leftist views would be unthinkable...I long ago learned to keep silent when faced with such unreasonable opinions. I have been called too many names and learned the hard way how inflexible arrogance can be. I let her words pass, yet it disturbs me on so many levels.

A mistake Ari, those opinions must be confronted. I acknowledge that once you've done it once or twice they may not be expressed in front of you. But they must be addressed. If unthinkable views and unreasonable opinions are not confronted, they'll enter the mainstream.

Time for this woman to accept the sorry reality - most American Jews ARE socialists, commies,for all practical purposes.

Wealth is no magic immunization against socialism. As was said during the McCarthy Era hearings, “The working class is Democratic, the middle class is Republican, and the upper class is communist.”

Now, add to the communists unions, educators, and bureaucrats.

PS Education and administration are disproportionately Jewish.

The entire article was well written except for the fact that he thinks jews might stop bemoaning the holocaust????

Soon there will be no one left alive who lived through those atrocities. I suggest we never stop talking about the fate of the millions of innocent jews.

Another point. I cannot forget Rabin’s widow refusing to shake Netanyahu’s hand, but instead choosing to have lunch with Arafat.

None of this anti-Israel and anti-Semitic behaviour by jews can ever be understood or explained.

“I would bet they have always been leftists.”

Absolutely, but when it gets to the point where these folks are voting for their own destruction, it brings “Stockholm Syndrome” to a whole new level.

According to my Jewish MD of many years, there is a strong denial aspect to the 'tribe thinking'.

He pointed that most of his friends and peers of the 'tribe' drove expensive German made cars.

He explained that Jews see themselves as hard working prosperous folks who contribute to whatever society they live in, hence 'there must have been some mistake'.

Who would want to destroy a people who have made some much contribution to mankind?, was their thinking.

These elitist intellectuals behave as the Jews in Germany in the 1930s. Even as they boarded the trucks and trains for the camps, they believed they were above peril in German hands.

I've often wondered how many Jews voted for Hitler thinking they weren't joos?

Yet, when I see with my own eyes how many of my friends used to be Jewish, I am filled with sorrow and fear./i>

Many of your friends may not be or may not have ever been Jewish. But they are there.

Once again I will say, if Hitler and Goebbels came back and ran in 2016, called themselves Democrats, with Dr. Mengele their shadow HHS Secretary to push through single payer—Jews would vote for the ticket.

Many Jews who were slaughtered in the Holocaust couldn't believe their fate, given the fact that they served with honor in the Austria-Hungarian and German Empire armies of WWI. They saw themselves as Germans or Austrians, having long integrated themselves into the general society.
