I have a friend who is Jewish. Nice guy. Successful at what he does....a model citizen really. Yet he has all the majority political views most Jews have. I’ve been trying to tell him for years now that the increased antisemitism we are seeing is coming from the LEFT, not the Right. He’s convinced its the standard trope of Redneck KKKers out on the sticks somewhere who are the bigtime Jew haters who beat people up, paint swastika’s on walls etc.
Even when I pointed out that this stuff was happening in the heart of the Leftist establishment...the Ivy League and NYC....he thinks the problem is “the kids”. I try to point out that no, its their professors too, its the Squad in Congress too IT. IS. THE. LEFT which is so filled with hate for Jews. Because that’s been his “tribe” all his life, he just can’t accept it. I’m afraid most other Jews will continue to view it the same way he does. The vast majority still won’t wake up.
I have two long time friends who are Jewish. I guess we have an unwritten rule: we don’t discuss politics.
God Himself chastised the Israelites as a “stiff necked people.”
