When will the Jews of New York wake up?

On November 28, 1978, I arrived in Rome with other émigrés from the USSR, and I was stunned by what I saw. The entire city was covered with portraits of Lenin, Che Guevara, and Fidel Castro, and decorated with red flags—even more so than Moscow on the anniversary of the October Revolution. An endless procession of beautiful Italian nurses walked along Via Veneto, Rome’s main street, carrying giant banners: “WE WANT FREE MEAT TWICE A WEEK, LIKE IN THE SOVIET UNION!”

We fresh émigrés from the USSR looked at each other in amazement. Since 1917, only prison sentences had been free in the USSR. Before we left, they took away our passports and citizenship and even charged us 500 rubles (about $600) for our incarceration!

However, at that time, not only were all the grocery stores in the USSR empty, they were empty absolutely —except for cans of Bulgarian “lecho in tomato,” there was nothing on the shelves! At factories and government offices, workers and employees were given coupons allowing them to buy no more than two kilograms of bones with some meat on it. This was called “to give meat.” Whenever food went on sale somewhere, we would run there with money and bags, telling our neighbors, “They’re giving buckwheat at the store!” Or, “They’re giving sugar!” In the Soviet lexicon, the word “to give” meant selling at the state price. We only used the word “to sell” in reference to the market, where the same products were five times more expensive. However, foreign journalists living in Moscow didn’t delve into such details. They heard people running to the store and shouting, “They’re giving potatoes!”, and wrote that in their newspapers….

In May of 1979, I flew from Rome to New York. There were no portraits of Lenin or...

When they line up for the gas chambers again.
Just like 1939-44.

Solzhenitsyn noted the exact same thing upon his arrival to the West from the Soviet Union.

Elites in the West were promoting the chaos and tyranny he had just escaped.

When will the Jews of New York wake up?

When they get the Free Showers they have demanded for the last 75 years.

When the time comes they will obediently queue up to get on the trains taking them to the resettlement camps “somewhere out west,” and console themselves with that thought that at least those swarthy-looking guards on the train platforms aren’t Christian Nationalists.

I’ve relayed this anecdote before, but 30 years ago I asked a Jewish friend who was a Republican, “Why do so many Jews who are family and business oriented support the left when their interests seem more aligned with the policies of the GOP?” And he said, “The truth is that they fear and loathe the Christian right.”

And, viewed through that lens (though against all rationality), you can see why, say, a Jewish lawyer or professor who lives in the Upper West Side will tell you that he’s more bothered by the idea of a Speaker Mike Johnson than a Mayor Zohran Mamdani.

Many Jews of New York have been waking up all along. And quietly leaving.

Indeed when they enter a path the end is not what they expected.
