Omar controversy has not shifted Jews away from Dem party, left-leaning Jewish advocate says
The Hill ^ | 3/20/19

Posted on 03/22/2019 4:40:28 PM PDT by Libloather

The executive director of the Jewish Democratic Council of America, Halie Soifer, told Hill.TV's "What America's Thinking" on Wednesday that recent remarks from Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), which some have called anti-Semitic, have not signaled a shift among Jews away from the Democratic Party.

"Absolutely not," Soifer told Hill.TV's Jamal Simmons when asked if Omar's comments were proof of a Democratic drift away from Jewish voters and support for Israel.

"What we've seen in recent months has been select incidents, and Representative Omar is one such example, where we've had elected officials that were criticizing Israel, but invoked anti-Semitic, negative stereotypes about Jews, and we've called that out," she continued.

"What we saw the Democratic leadership do in recent weeks was actually unify the whole caucus behind a resolution that rejected such tropes as a form of anti-Semitism, but also rejected all forms of intolerance, including Islamophobia," Soifer said. "All Democrats voted for that resolution, and 23 Republicans voted against."

Everything is fine. It's been taken care of. Can we PLEASE move to the next story? Did you see what Trump just tweeted?

If not then the old adage about smart shrewd Jews is a fabrication on a grand scale.

Of course, that's what they would say, whatever the truth might be.

Just give it time. The next two years of Jew hate will have its effect.

There is another old saying that is appropriate.

“Don’t carry the rope to your own hanging.”

Unless you have a death wish.

Atheistic, secular, ultra-liberal self-loathing Jews like this one will (and do) gladly vote to elect their exterminators. That tribe will also continue to lavish tons of money upon liberals during election campaigns.

None of the above is going to change anytime soon. The white Christian race will always be feared and despised by radical leftist Jews far more than some racist raghead Democrat from Minneapolis and the millions upon millions just like her around the world.

In the end, they’ll get exactly what they’re asking for.

Just as the Jews went willingly into the cattle cars and the gas chambers, they go willingly to the voting booth to cast votes for their destruction. Go figure!

No, it won’t. The religion of most American Jews is Trump hatred and liberalism.

It boggles my mind how Jews can support Democrats. Sort of like the farmer supporting the fox in the hen house.

More tha 80 percent of American Jewish adults are pro-choice on abortion, according to respectable polls. Until that changes, I’ll be surprised to see significant departures from the Democrat party

Unfortunately I believe that is true. These kind of “Jews” lost their way a long time ago..they could give a rats ass if Israel were wiped off the planet tomorrow, as long as their precious abortion were still legal
