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.

There is nothing new under the sun. As it was in the time of Christ, so it is now as far as jewish alignments go. There were Pharisees. There contemporary analog would be conservative Judaism. There were Sadducees. They were ones who favoured blurrung Jewish identity as much as possible. Seeing it as provincial and narrow minded. They wanted to be as Greek as the Greeks and as Roman as the Romans. Leftist American Jews like J Street etc are pretty much modern day Sadducees. The final camp were the zealots and nationalists. Zioninists and Israel would be a modern analog. Now from the jew hater perspective, it matters not what camp Jews belong to. The Pharisee and Zealot camps are entree and main course. The Sadducees will be tolerated for a bit longer. They can try and “de circumcise” themselves figurativelly speaking, but in time they will be devoured as a desert for the devil.

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

We'll see, but I am very skeptical of any measurable shift among Jewish voters occurring even with another 2 years of this anti Jew filth by the left.

The practice of modern American Judaism demands liberalism. Liberal is Jewish, Jewish is Liberal. It’s there neo-Talmud.

In WW2 they would have been called collaborators and shot by the resistance.

Jewish people include many highly talented folks in a wide range of activities. And an incredible number of Nobel prize winners But as for political astuteness, well ... that’s generally not one of their gifts.

BWA-HAHAHA

What a phony liar this guy is. It hasn’t shifted a single Jew away from the DhimmicRATs? Really?

Then why not talk about how Jews are flocking to the DhimmicRAT party? Yeah, must be a veritable stampede of Jews rushing into the party of Jihad!

I agree, I seriously doubt that Orthodox Jews support the RATS.

This man’s response reminds me of an episode of The World At War when a Jewish woman asks a Nazi soldier while waiting at the station to board one of those trains, something to the effect ... that she heard horrible things were happening to the Jews where they were being relocated to which the soldier said to the woman in a consoling tone ... that it was nonsense and they were not barbarians.

The rest is history.

Soifer is our modern day KAPO and leftist propagandist for the increasingly Marxist, islamist Democrat Party.

I wonder how much money another real KAPO, George Soros and family/foundations have given to the Democrats through fronts, people who launder political funds from Soros to organizations, or through tax-exempt research organizations.

#13 re “they will go willingly to the voting booths to cast votes for their destruction”. NOT SO.

We will be there to warn them that they are just like the Jews who went willingly into the cattle-cars, forests and gas chambers.

With typical Democrats like Omer, Tlaib, Sanders, Beto the Jerkoff, AOC the Clueless, and supporters Linda Sarsour and Tamaka Mallory (of Million Womens March), and the cowardice of Pelosi, Schumer, Cohen (Tenn psycho), etc, more Jewish Americans are waking up to the “threat from within”.

We will not let up on our education program aimed at our fellow religious brethren and I’m already seeing more interest in what we have to say and document.

We will be getting stronger because we are getting internet supporters to join the effort and spread the word that the Democrats “are the New Anti-Semites”.

Some Jews-many Jews, seem afflicted with something akin to the Stockholm Syndrome in that they feel, and many did in Germany in the thirties, that they are safer by binding to their professed enemies to try to prove that they are no threat and are on the same side.
