Concur. There is plenty of self-hatred going around these days.

If the ADL is siding with Harvard on race based admissions that severely dilute the presence of Jewish students on campus who would be there on merit, then you would think that the logical response would be to defund the ADL.

Fast and loose with stats here. Only 4% of college faculty are Jewish (a religion). Try the % of Southern Baptists or Pentecostals and you’ll get ZERO.

I see it differently. Jews represent about 2% of the US population and about 6% of Congress. In other words, Jews are massively over-represented.

The same holds true and even more so for other segments of our society: media, business, education, banking.

Exactly. ANY religious affiliation is being discriminated against unless it’s Church of Satan.

A fine catch, in terms of text.

Might I repeat this verbal oddity?

"...Jews of no religion" are rather like the white gals who have been pretending to be POC in organizations, and other similar pretenses.

"Regulator" posted his comment about so many members of the current administration, and I would wager that were one to look more closely the phrase "Jews of no religion" would be apt.

Attendance for Torah readings and study and actual charitable works mark the Orthodox far more than the "liberal" and it is very likely that a Blinken and a Wolensky, as examples, rarely set foot in a synagogue unless to politick, fund raise for politics, or other such PR event.

The same may be observed for the "public" Christians, such as Madame Clinton who, when campaigning, carried around a Bible as prop for the campaign. Think she has confronted Romans 1? Or her coterie's penchant for things we might find abhorrent?

For a Jewish perspective I would seek an Orthodox rabbi, while for a Christian, I would seek the likes of Fulton Sheen. The popular "religious" being held up to us in the media are quite like that phrase, "of no religion."

Even that Pew can form such a word phrase shows how disjointed and nonsensical so much of modern "authority" has become. "...of no religion" is become the new and very intolerant religion of this time. As ever before, we are told to bow before it. Daniel, among many upstanding examples, offers a fine exemplary response.

Best wishes.

I read another report by a young Jewish man looking for a university position - he wasn’t getting hired anywhere. He said at one university, one of the interviewers later told him privately and quietly that he was obviously the best qualified candidate they had, and they all knew it - but were told the next three hires would be black women.

I have little sympathy for Marxist-loving Jews ...

I despise Marxists regardless how they identify. Whether it's a jew on Madison Avenue or a black in a Mississippi ghetto. They're all a part of the reason America is dying, and none of those fools are going to like what follows.

Remember, German jews thought Hitler would take care of them. They thought that until about the time they were loaded onto the cattle cars.

Liberals are the first demographic dictators target.

Oh bullshit boo hoo

Leftist Jews dominate the vanguard of wokism etc

Along with homosexuals and POC

nonsense

They influence American culture and politics beyond their actual numbers like no other group alright cross dressers are a close second

When we speak of Jews we’re referring to Jewish identity

Judaism now that is arguably being diminished

My understanding is that whites in general are now under represented at the ivys. That if it were not for ashkenazi jews—whites would be down a whole lot more.

I’ve read that if they were just to judge admissions by SAT scores—that the ivys would be almost entirely asian. and the only whites represented would be ashkenazi jews.

This article would make more sense if if the decline of total white representation at the ivys were also included in the stats.

As it is, the general envy of jewish success in the past has given way to general envy of white success.

The author of the article talks about the covert envy and exclusion of Jews in the big prestigous institutions. Overt envy and exclusion happens to all whites in the big pretigious powerful institutions.

Politically, Jewish Americans are 70%-80% Democrat.

For the last fifty years, Jewish Baby Boomers have enthusiastically voted for the country we now live in.

No matter how uncomfortable life may get for Jewish Americans, almost none of them will ever criticize or challenge the Political Left.

More Jews are getting saved, or becoming Orthodox. The Leftist ones are aborting or shrinking. The Jewish vote will shift

There is a schism in Judaism between secular Jews, who seem to be dying out from myriad causes, and Orthodox Jews, who especially in Israel are growing and expanding in leaps and bounds.

Secular Judaism, at least for a time, had a lot of impulse left over from fleeing eastern Europe (including Russia) the vast majority being Ashkenazi Jews (not counting the Sephardic and Mizrahi Jews).

But outside of ghettoization and persecution, secular Jews do not on their own have generational cohesion.

Orthodox Jews are a different story. They voluntarily ghettoize and isolate to protect their culture and traditions, and shun the secular world. This might also explain why they are disappearing from the secular world.

The Orthodox birthrate in Israel is nothing short of astounding, whereas their secular Jews are dying out much like here.

Your boomer statement rewrites history though for the people who don’t know the history of Jewish leftwing politics and voting.

Every revolution kills its intellectuals first.

This most excellent essay from yesterday's threads describes the method of warfare against Christians, and by extension, JudeoChristian belief:

...the enemies of Christ in the modern globalist world are not going to feed you to lions or burn you at the stake. Instead, if you are a Christian in modern trashworld, your martyrdom will be psychological. Not only will this psychological torment happen to you, it already has begun.
