“California Jews” for the most part don’t give a $hit about Israel or anyone “dedicated to working on local issues...”
Au contraire, mon ami. I live in So Cal and was employed by a Jew. Wonderful man, named Bob who operates a construction business.
I think we need to clarify things a little bit here. Specifically, it has been my experience that there are two distinctly different types of Jews in So Cal: Practicing and non-practicing. There are many people in So Cal who are Jewish by birth but are secular and non-practicing. For example consider Hollywood and the porn industry in the San Fernando Valley. Both of these “industries” are dominated by what I call “Jews In Name Only or JINOs. Harvey Weinstein is a perfect example of a JINO.
Then there are real Jews. The ones who base their conduct on the Torah and 10 Commandments, stop working at sundown every Friday and attend temple on a weekly basis. I recall my boss handing me his cell phone at 6:00pm on Fridays and asking to handle his phone calls because it was the beginning of “Shabot”/”Sabbath” and he was not allowed to work. He would travel to Israel with his wife, children and grandchildren a few times every year and plans on retiring there. That in my opinion is true Jew.
The ones I see in the media, the self-hating, anti-Israel types are secularized JINOs and they are not the majority. Rather they are just the loudest with the biggest platforms and are an embarrassment to real Jews everywhere.

Actually, most Jews do not recognize that Judaism mostly rejects Torah, by following the Takanot and Ma’assim of their Pharisee Rabbis that for the purpose of Judaism in general make Torah ineffective.
Pharisee councils in general claim an authority to change Torah, while Torah itself completely forbids such changes.

“The ones I see in the media, the self-hating, anti-Israel types are secularized JINOs and they are not the majority. Rather they are just the loudest with the biggest platforms and are an embarrassment to real Jews everywhere.”
Neither of us actually knows the break between JINOs and “Real Jews.” But it is true what you say about the noise the JINOs make and the trouble they create by their actions. And a number of them, have a lot of money to spend on their “pet causes,” like this Billionaire Tom Steyer. (or the world’s #1 JINO, George Soros)
But it does seem that the “real Jews,” as you call them, are not vocal in their opposition to the JINOs. All too often here on FR what I see is “posters” giving the JINOs a pass by simply saying “well they aren’t really Jews!” That’s like me, a non-practicing Mormon saying “MItt Romney or Harry Reid really aren’t Mormons!” The fact is both of them are Mormons in good standing and they are also worthless a$$holes.
