A poll out of New York indicates a seismic shift in the Jewish vote
American Thinker ^ | 02/25/2024 | Andrea Widburg

For almost a century, there has been one constant in American politics: Jews vote for Democrats. There are multiple reasons for this fact but, regardless of the reason, the one thing Democrats could rely on was the Jewish vote. However, the Biden administration’s increasingly open hostility to Israel may be changing that pattern. One poll out of New York shows something remarkable: More than 50% of New York’s Jews plan to vote for Donald Trump!

When Eastern European Jews came to America, they were escaping tsarist oppression. For them, the opposite of tsarism was Marxism. This binary viewpoint wasn’t unique to them. In pre-WWII England, a lot of the British upper class did the opposite, siding with fascism because they believed it was the only bulwark against communism.

Except for people like Oswald Mosley and his wife, Diana Mitford, and the latter’s brother, Tom, and sister, Unity, most Brits quickly recovered from this delusion once WWII started.

In America, though, by the 1930s, Jews had made the same journey that blacks did, finding what they thought was their permanent political home with the Democrats. The Republican party was seen as the party of antisemitism and, especially after WWII, Democrats played on that visceral fear.

Few Jews, even the ones who escaped from or survived the Holocaust, made the connection between Hitler’s socialism and the rising socialism of the Democrat party. The inability to see this link—and this was true despite Karl Marx’s openly expressed antisemitism or Stalin’s Jewish purges—kept Jews tied to Democrats.

American Jewish fealty to Democrats was strengthened over the generations by the Jewish fealty to college degrees. .

Virtue signaling is so very important! Here is some good news, some Democrats Voting Blacks will vote Trump in Chicago. Even though I will only believe it what I see it, it is a hopeful sign.

It still doesnt explain Netanyahu’s beeline for the mic
to figuratively French kiss Biden when he “won” 2020.

Biden rushed this tranche of taxpayer financed US arms to Israel right after Oct 7.
<><>57,000 155mm artillery shells
<><>more than 5,000 Mk82 unguided or “dumb” bombs,
<><>more than 5,400 Mk84 2,000 pound warhead bombs,
<><>around 1,000 GBU-39 small diameter bombs,
<><>approximately 3,000 JDAMs, which turn unguided bombs into guided “smart” bombs,
<><>BLU-109 bunker busters w/ 2,000 pound warheads designed to penetrate concrete shelters.

Plus Biden’s got another $14 (or more) billion for Israel in the pending Ukraine bill.

Imagine that... when your party wants to kill an entire group of people you start losing some of their votes!

The KKK Democrats just let their KKK hoods slip a bit and that is all it took for “some” to realize they were supporting those who want them murdered and raped.

“Jews punch way above their weight class when it comes to providing brains for the Democrat party.”

indeed ... and thankfully it seems like more and more are figuring out that the Democrat Party has turned extremely fascist antisemitic ...

one of the first to publicly levy serious criticisms against the Democrat Party was Alan Dershowitz ... this was a couple of years ago, and i remember Alan noting that his life-long “friends” had ostracized him for his public criticisms and that the was no longer invited to their parties ... i wonder Alan has received any mea culpas recently ...

cause and effect.
