Progressive Jews who have spent years supporting racial equity, gay and transgender rights, abortion rights and other causes on the American left — including opposing Israeli policies in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank — are suddenly feeling abandoned by those who they long thought of as allies. This wartime shift represents a fundamental break within a liberal coalition that has long powered the Democratic Party.
In Los Angeles, Rabbi Sharon Brous, a well-known progressive activist who regularly criticizes the Israeli government, described from the pulpit her horror and feelings of “existential loneliness,” her voice breaking. “The clear message from many in the world, especially from our world — those who claim to care the most about justice and human dignity — is that these Israeli victims somehow deserved this terrible fate.”
In Atlanta, a Jewish mother involved in local politics wrote an open letter lamenting that her child’s progressive private school had not addressed the attacks in Israel with the same kind of empathy it showed after local killings of Asian Americans. “Our people are butchered, and no one speaks to it?” she wrote. “I don’t know if I’m seething or just sad.”

They should.... welcome to reality... yall have been had and used for decades... wake up hear the gun shots and screams.
My thoughts exactly.
What is the secular basis of Judaism? Practical need; self-interest. What is the worldly religion of the Jew? Huckstering. What is his worldly god? Money. Very well, then! Emancipation from huckstering and money—consequently from practical, real Judaism—would be the self-emancipation of our time. […]So . . . since this is how progressivism regards Jews, are you ready to give up on progressivism?
… Money is the jealous god of Israel, in face of which no other god may exist. Money degrades all the gods of man and turns them into commodities. Money is the universal self-established value of all things. It has, therefore, robbed the whole world — both the world of men and nature — of its specific value. Money is the estranged essence of man’s work and man’s existence, and this alien essence dominates him, and he worships it.
The god of the Jews has become secularized and has become the god of the world. The bill of exchange is the real god of the Jew. His god is only an illusory bill of exchange. …
— Karl Marx, “On ‘The Jewish Question’”
What did they expect?
That’s right.
Get used to it Prog Jews, you're
Oh yeah, how many times has that happened?
There a lot of Progressive Jews out there who are rooting for the Palestinians.
Jews shouldn’t trust their fake left wing allies.
How many failed attempts will it take for Jews to learn they can’t have peaceful relations with their oppressors?
Well welcome to reality dummies..the far left wants you dead too because you are Jewish doesn’t matter if you are a jew hater still a jew and the left wants them dead too
Talk about your battered wife syndrome, American Jews are idiots.
And yes, the Nazis were far left.
Wasn’t it recently the LGBT blah blah blah crowd complaining about the ungrateful Muslims who won’t give them unfettered access to their kids? The Rainbow Coalition is at best a very uneasy alliance.
It was always this way, they just never noticed it. The kids at the music festival were mostly leftists. Now they notice.
They voted democrat all these years not knowing the deep loathing the left feels for them. It’s the same with blacks. Stop listening to words and see actions.
It’s time for them to wake up and realize that anti-Israel and anti-Semitic sentiments have a welcoming home now in the Democrat Party!
Why did they ever think those people were their allies?
Marx was a self-hating Jew.
He was ethnically Jewish, but probably not raised in Judaism given that his father converted to Lutheranism. (His grandfather was rabbi of Trier.) He solidified his atheism during his college years, when he embraced Hegelian philosophy. So not regarding himself as a Jew in any sense, it was easy for him to fall into garbage like he was uttering here, believing that getting rid of all religion would “liberate” humanity.
