I’m not a Jew either, but the article caught my eye given the protests (riots) over the past few months and especially the fact that many local, state, and federal entities are taking a hands-off approach. Also, there is the obvious foreign Muslim involvement in the protests. These are not generic American youth protests. Something more sinister is involved.

If you’ve read even a minimum of Muslim war history, you know that this is the way they have waged war and conquered nations and continents over the past centuries. I’d think most orthodox Jews would be aware of that history as well and see the path the progressives are taking our nation.

Most Jews look at abortion and consider that their most important issue..if they dont have family in israel they dont consider it to be their problem..orthodox Jews vote Republican, the rest vote Democrat regardless of anything..but I just cant understand how they can see what is going on in this country, seeing pro hamas lovers calling for their slaughter and still thinking “Yeah sure gonna vote Dem anyway” is abortion really that much more important than actual survival

Covering their bets, I would say.

I think many Jews see the right -- Christians and white advocates -- as their primary enemy.

Such Jews see the left as misguided idealists, the ideal being a multicultural, multi-religious society. Such Jews think the real challenge is to educate the left that Jews and Israel are nonwhite and their natural allies against white Christian nationalism.

I think it’s mostly the Democrats just going further and further left.

Hitler and the Nazis: Evil on Trial.

We just had a trial run with the Covid B.S.

It is easy to see the COVID NAZIS being just like the Germans who ignored the Death Camps. You can find the same personality types, some Scared, many know-it-all, many following orders, you mane it.

Only a few Martin Niemoller's today.

will anyone pay for COVID?

especially the fact that many local, state, and federal entities are taking a hands-off approach.

They're all controlled by the Left.

Maybe that's not the case in rural areas but then again, how many Jews live in those places? They live in urban areas controlled by the Democrats.

They should take a long, slow re-read of Ezekiel 16.

I have a few Jewish friends going back many years and they are all the most infuriating leftists imaginable.

Jews who support Israel have been expelled from the Left.

Some will try to buy their way back in with even more Leftism.

The others will be Entryists into the Center-Right and Right and demand Leftist compromises to accomodate them.

Jews may be comfortable moving toward libertarian, neocon, or traditional conservative positions. However, I don't see them moving to populist positions which they associate with anti-Semitism, pogroms, etc.

Since much of Trump's support is populist conservatism, I can see lots of Jews being hesitant to become strong Trump supporters.

I heard a "debate" on the radio in 2016 between a liberal and a conservative who were both Jews. Rather than disagreeing on policies they spent the entire "debate" agreeing that whatever happened it would be a tragedy if Trump became president with both having misgivings about his populist appeal.

The series starts before Hitler was in charge of anything and slowly shows his rise and the attack on Jews as business owners and then the attacks and then the camps.

Doubtful, most American Jews religion is liberalism, no ties to Israel. Like most liberals they can’t accept the fact they can be wrong about anything, IMO.
