Conservatives are often puzzled about how the majority of Jews can still vote Democrat even though the party has become so anti-Israel, and tolerates anti-Semitism from the likes of Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Rashida Tlaib (D-MI).
Christian conservatives also ask me, politely, why Jews are liberal. Jewish conservatives are less restrained, and often express outright frustration. Norman Podhoretz even wrote a book about it: Why Are Jews Liberals?
For most Jewish conservatives, the question is as much about pain as politics. Each of us bears the scars of family dinners gone wrong, of angry e-mails from relatives who call us disloyal Jews — and even anti-Semites — because they watch CNN or believe their liberal rabbi or follow the trash that the New York Times prints about President Donald Trump, the first Jewish zayde [Yiddish for 'grandpa'] in the White House and the best friend that the Jewish State has ever had.
So when President Trump criticized Omar and Tlaib for their hostility toward Israel, and asked how Democrats could consider cutting aid to Israel because of “two people that hate Israel and hate Jewish people,” adding, “I think any Jewish people that vote for a Democrat, I think it shows either a total lack of knowledge or great disloyalty,” most Jewish conservatives knew exactly where he was coming from, even if we may not have chosen those words.

I read something once about American Jews often voting for those who purport to be working four the underdog. The Dems have done their work with the underdogs, making decades of promises and given decades of small gifts, but not really raising anyone out of underdog status. Witness any Democrat-run large city, where social ills are constantly groomed to keep the dogs in their places, voting for the ones who don't really help them out of their predicaments.
ReplyDeleteI hope that those Jews wake up before 2020.
The Jewish Utopia (Kingdom of Heaven on Earth) will be installed by any means necessary.
ReplyDeleteThey will use both Left and Right paradigms to convince the Goy to worship them.
It has been written, it will be done.
