Progressive Jews who have spent years supporting racial equity, gay and transgender rights, abortion rights and other causes on the American left — including opposing Israeli policies in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank — are suddenly feeling abandoned by those who they long thought of as allies. This wartime shift represents a fundamental break within a liberal coalition that has long powered the Democratic Party.
In Los Angeles, Rabbi Sharon Brous, a well-known progressive activist who regularly criticizes the Israeli government, described from the pulpit her horror and feelings of “existential loneliness,” her voice breaking. “The clear message from many in the world, especially from our world — those who claim to care the most about justice and human dignity — is that these Israeli victims somehow deserved this terrible fate.”
In Atlanta, a Jewish mother involved in local politics wrote an open letter lamenting that her child’s progressive private school had not addressed the attacks in Israel with the same kind of empathy it showed after local killings of Asian Americans. “Our people are butchered, and no one speaks to it?” she wrote. “I don’t know if I’m seething or just sad.”

It is rather naïve to support people who have sworn to kill you. Coexist with Evil and Evil will win.
Careful, I think only you and I know that.
Marx wasn’t Lutheran either! Just the father of commie atheism!!!!
I’ve listen to Broward county Jewish Democrats blame Republicans, white supremacists and militias.
Even defend the “Squad”.
Zero sympathy.
BLM, and leftists before them, have long celebrated the murder of whites as deserving their fate. They cheer and call for murder of white South African farmers.
For all I know, this Jewish woman was cheering along with her leftst friends, until they came for her people. Now she is surprised because she expected a pass for Jewish victims.
White leftists always think they'll get a pass.
Yes, that’s true. It was his father that converted to Lutheranism.
The NSDAP are the German Left. We despise bourgeois nationalism.This should be common knowledge, really.

Didn't Jesse Jackson coin "Rainbow Coalition" in the 1980s?
I was laughing at the time. During the Regan Era, the far left seemed so weak and pathetic. I had no idea they would grow so strong.
Briefly, “progressive” doesn't mean what those who self-identify as this think it means. As it stands, I would define a “progressive” as a cynic who is devoid of realism but nonetheless convinced of the superiority of their beliefs and opinions, and who supports governance by those they believe to be ‘elite’.
Conversely, I would define a true conservative as a humble and optimistic realist who values individuality and government by the people for the people.
Although unclear to too many Americans of Jewish heritage, Hitler belongs in the first group. Fascism and progressivism are ideological cousins.
Guess the cackling apostate jew cows on The View might not be too happy. Good!
I hope Israel Israel wakes up in time before drifting further and further to he left, some call it progressive but its nothing but another name for socialism or liberalism and as usual in time, can and will damage a country beyond repair. With Israel being as small as it is, it would not take much of this stupid trend to do it in.
Stalin eventually had most of the Jewish Bolsheviks, who helped bring about the Russian Revolution, killed.
First mistake: The Left is not the Jews’ ally and never will be.
Should be is not is.
Not until it’s too late. The big lie of national socialism being somehow “right wing” started with Stalin IIRC.
I’ve also read a plethora of quotes from Mussolini that make it plain that fascism is merely repackaged communism.
Biden doesn’t care about the Jews or the Muslims, only where his next pile of cash is coming from.
Karl Marx said, “antisemitism is the socialism of fools,” thus confirming that socialism basically repackaged the demonization, conspiracy theories, and other garbage of antisemitism.
“I was laughing at the time. During the Regan Era, the far left seemed so weak and pathetic. I had no idea they would grow so strong.”
They grew strong precisely because we were laughing at them and refusing to take them seriously. Had we taken them seriously and stomped on them real quick and good we might be living in a different world now.
But hindsight is always 20/20.
The New York Slimes and the Western Media pushed "Right Wing" Nazis for Stalin with Walter Duranty's Fluffing of everything Stalin and everything Communist, and won the Pulitzer "Prize" for it, with all of Socialist Democrat America as the audience.
