This article talks about the holocaust; but there has been an ongoing internal destruction among Jews since the enlightenment: That is full assimilation, the need to be liked, the spiritual devastation of the Jew from the Left, from Reform and Conservative Judaism.
Historically, it is only recently that this has become a pandemic. Judaism was supposed to universalize its values, and Christians were supposed to spread that message all over the world. This has largely stopped, and it couldn't have stopped at a worse time, now that the Left and Islam are much more serious and diligent in furthering their traditions.
American 'Progressivism' unfortunately has large contingents of Jews in their midst. Jews, by nature and religion, should be Conservatives!

They have forgotten the Truth. Many American Jews just look at their religion as an elite club.
And their empty lives reflect their shallowness.
There are some who know the Truth, and who do the right things, but American Jews are lost in the wilderness, by and large.
But listen, the Lord always talks about a remnant. The problems with Jews is NOT other people, it is themselves.
The first sentence is all the farther I go to we where this was going. Why believe in anything. Believe in nothing and form no opinions and be a mindless journalist. If you can’t spell become one of the low information people and do exactly what the mindless journalists say. Believe in nothing./s
Apparently, (and sadly) for too many Jews, the bowl of pottage is too compelling to resist.
Because one should never pay retail?
I am one of them.
You'd think so, wouldn't you?
So should Christians. Yet how much trouble have modern-day, mainstream "Christians" caused in the world? A lot.
Hazony’s commentary was fascinating. When secular humanist phosphors like Kant and Hegel minimized the Scriptures, whether Jewish or not, and presented the Greek philosophers as the apex of non-religious logical thinking, they pushed divine morality out of the conversation. This affected the Christian intellectuals of Europe. It is not only Jews who regard their religious heritage with quaint sentimentlity. I wonder how many Christians-by-birth of Europe regard themselves as believers.
“Jews, by nature and religion, should be Conservatives!”
Jews, according to the Torah, are to raise a famu=ily nad study the Torah/Talmud.
While their original contract called for being an example of the Law (Judaic Law, not “Prog Law), most decided to “interpret the nuances”, to “understand the umbras”, adf nauseam.
Worst of all, they not only became de facto collectivists, they began to ask their children “What did you learn at the Pooblik Shrewl Collective, today?”
The historic Jews asked their children “What questions did you ask, today?”
As a result, their children learned and behaved as little collectivists/Progs, not Jews.
It’s not the question of being Jewish. It’s you >are< Jewish. It’s something you’re born with. It’s not like being American is some sort of culture/religion with certain customs. Maybe in the US or the rest of the world but in Israel ..... if the article is somehow true then the Jews would leave Israel to the so-called Palestinians.
Jews-In-Name-Only (JINOs) are intermarrying, turning gay and getting abortions. They are 78% Democrat. Meanwhile, religious Jews are having 8 kids per family. They are 68% Republican. It will take a while, but 20 years from now, American Jews will be a solid conservative bloc. It is worth the wait.
No future generation of Jews, and no Jew alienated from his people, can say, “Moses made a covenant with our ancestors but not with us. We didn’t give our consent. We are not bound.” To preclude this, he says these words:
Deuteronomy 29:13-14 “But not only with you am I making this covenant and this oath: but with those standing here with us today before the Lord, our God, and [also] with those who are not here with us, this day.”
Not Jewish though Torah is at the center of my life.
....”So in a sense, you are abandoning nothing. Because you cannot abandon what you never had in the first place.
And what Jews like Roth never had is basic Jewish literacy..”
Sounds like a lot of other progressive groupies. We now officially have JINO’s; Jews in Name Only. Apparently these Jews do not associate the ancient texts of their forefathers - the Talmud (i.e. the old Testament to Christians) as having any consequence to their very being. Just more road kill along the progressive highway. JINO’s can join the CINO’s as folks who identify as being part of a group, but are not even aware or care about what that designation means. Their relationship to their Creator is fractured.
The Jewish religion is not the only one losing ground in America....
And interesting enough, for practicing (small-o)orthodox Christians, the Tanak (Old Testament) is also the primary source for lessons in ethics and examples of godly living.
