New York Times headline: "On Israel, Progressive Jews Feel Abandoned by Their Left-Wing Allies.
NBC News: "The left faces a reckoning as Israel divides Democrats."
Time Magazine: "How the Activist Left Turned on Israel."
Los Angeles Times: "'The left has really let us down.' Why many American Jews feel abandoned"
Financial Times: "Left's take on Hamas stuns American Jews -- and threatens Democratic party split."
You get the point.
Left-wing American Jews feel betrayed by the Left. A Left that remains anti-Israel even after the greatest single-day massacre of Jews since the Holocaust, and even though most Palestinians and their supporters explicitly call for the destruction of the Jewish state: "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free."...
The Left called for "defunding the police," supports attorneys general who abolish bail for violent criminals, and praised demonstrations against America....
The Left supports all-black dorms and all-black graduations on college campuses. The Left has almost destroyed every liberal ideal regarding race... The Left -- specifically schools of education and teachers unions -- has ruined elementary schools and high schools. And it has destroyed universities as institutions that allow open dialogue.
The Left affirms the lie that men can become women and women can become men.... The Left has been waging the most successful war against free speech in American history... The Left has essentially destroyed mainstream journalism. Mainstream media no longer hold truth as an ideal... The Left has poisoned American medicine...

That’s right, and where we’ll see a left-Jewish response will be internal to the dem party. Their money and influence will be channeled to marginalizing if not removing the leftist anti-Jewish voices in academia and media over the coming months and years. Their goal will be to keep the left a home for secular Jews, at least in America. There is no consideration to moving right.
We always here that but it never really happens
I would like to say this bucket of cold water in the face will wake them up, but it won’t.
Yah, if you are shocked by this you have been asleep for decades.
Every time this sort of stupidity comes up I think back to a scene from “Shindler’s List”. It is in a labor camp and one soon-to-be-dead Jew is reassuring the others with: “THey won’t kill us, they need us.”
Ha, ha, ha. What a maroon. Evil doesn’t follow human logic. It is like an emotion-ridden liberal — do what feels good today, to ‘Ell with consequences.
The left uses people simply to advance their agenda of destroying the US. Doesn’t matter if you’re black, Native American, Jewish, whatever.
They’ll use you, chew you up, and spit you out when they are done with you. Those *victim* groups are nothing more than useful idiots for the left.
It’s past time they woke up to that fact.
There is a centuries old ingrained mistrust of the Christian west in European Jews
You can debate forever why or whether justified
But it’s there
I think even now the fear of that is stronger than this visceral reaction to Hamas Comanche style raid and atrocity
So I’m not holding my breath
Some will come over
But there are so few it wouldn’t turn much but their influence especially in media would matter if they flipped en masse
Don’t cry for me Argentina.
I clicked on post, and it asks me to choose name for my blog - no article.
But it’s going to bite them in the ass because they are the next ones they will hunt down. And there will be no one to come to their rescue because of their cold progressive hearts…so Shocked? I think not. I think they’re enjoying the chaos by their silence …THEY HAVE BEEN SILENT AS THE GRAVE for two weeks and counting. They have forgotten the extermination of 6,000,000+ Jewish people, their race by the Nazis and now they will be hunted down like animals by the radical Jew hating Muslims EVIL POS killers.
Their wealth and fame have clouded their minds from reality and the perils that are growing by leaps and bounds across the globe and here at home. But that’s OK. They’ll continue to support, vote and donate to the the evil party of death who are against their race! They’ll continue to support the Bernie Sanders type of POS in office in DC. The Blinders are pretty well FIX across there freaking their eyes!! Sorry that’s the way I see it and it’s only the beginning.
What does it say about the state of America when this thread title could be just as well the title of a Babylon Bee article?
That’s true but I’d add European Jewish affection for leftism was largely but not totally based on reaction to pogroms and persecutions from monarchies and Habsburgs and so on
Revolutionary and anarchy doctrine looked better than pogroms which could be severe and every bit as nasty as hamas and often inflicted by citizenry
It’s risky living in a host nation and culture as a distinct exclusive separate identity
But like Netanyahu says “we’re still here”
I’m out of answers
Been dealing with left leaning Jews all my life
Girlfriends and to this day buddies and business partners
A few get real but it’s entrenched in especially ashkenazim culture
Get real.......KILLING BABIES IS WHHAT MATTERS TO THEM!
A little historical perspective. Not all Jewish people love Israel.

I’m sorry. Got a new computer, Windows 11...and learning the embarrassing way. Let me get the correct link.
Yep. If they were rational and logical, they would switch. But that is not the case.
