Majority of American Jews will continue choosing their progressive values over their survival as Jews no matter how anti-Semitic the Democratic party becomes

Being as we are on the eve of Passover, the major Jewish holiday that commemorates the Jewish exodus from Egyptian slavery to independence in the Promised Land, we may ask ourselves whether it may be possible that American Jews will free themselves from being slaves to the Democratic Party and choose freedom in the arms of the Republicans.
The answer to that, my friends, is a resounding no. There are many reasons why seven out of ten American Jews are democrats and these reasons are as valid today as they have ever been. Jews live in liberal coastal cities. They are educated and wealthy. In short, they fall squarely into the Democratic demographic. American Jews are, to put it mildly, not fighters. While they are happy to send their less fortunate, less educated, less wealthy, and much more Christian countrymen and women to fight, they themselves abhor firearms. Having the wealth to live in low-crime protected areas, they don’t need them either. So American Jews are stridently anti-gun. It is important to remember that American Jews are Ashkenazi diaspora Jews. In their DNA there is a powerful collective fear and loathing of all things Christian because of the centuries of murderous persecution of Jews by Christians in Europe. American Jews, needless to say wrongly, draw a direct line between American Evangelicals and the Christians in Poland or Ukraine that murdered their great grandparents.
These are powerful reasons why the vast majority of American Jew are Democrats, but now we come to the issue of Israel. Traditionally, the Democratic Party was much more supportive of Israel than the Republicans were. Democrats had their base of support in coastal cities where most Jews resided at a time when there was little to no other “diversity”. They relied on the Jewish vote, while Republicans, with their power base in the oil rich states of Texas and Oklahoma were much more aligned with the oil-producing and anti-Israeli Arab countries. The Bush dynasty, always hostile to Israeli interests, but very close to Saudi Arabia, is a good example of this phenomenon. So the equation was simple: to gain Jewish support, politicians had to pass the Israel support test administered by AIPAC. Democrats passed it, Republicans did not.
Today, however, we find ourselves in a totally different universe, one in which the old equation is completely gone in reality, but lingers in most people’s consciousness. To begin to understand the new reality, we must acknowledge that the influx of Latino, Asian, and Middle Eastern immigrants, most of whom Muslim, made the Jewish vote irrelevant for Democrats. Next, it behooves us to finally acknowledge that Israel is supported, not opposed, by the oil producing Gulf states, even if said support is hidden from public view for now. Finally, Israel has abandoned its socialist ways nearly 30 years ago, a move that made it immensely more powerful and economically successful. The end of the Cold War and the fall of the Soviet Union brought to Israel a million Soviet Jews, all of whom, from bitter experience, are stridently anti-socialist, but more than that, they are also strongly nationalist.
From a socialist, poor, secular, and largely Ashkenazi country thirty years ago, grew the modern successful, capitalistic, powerful, nationalist, and traditional Israel. This new Israel is closely aligned with the new Nationalist wing of the Republican party, but it is unrecognizable and frankly horrifying to most American Jews. This is why Trump’s strident pro-Israeli stance does not buy him any additional American Jewish votes: Trump loves Israel, but seven out of ten American Jews abhor it. So now there is a new equation, and it is an equation from which American Jews are simply absent. They have written themselves completely out of power in American politics. Democrats don’t need them and Republicans can’t get them.
The 70% of American Jews that vote Democrat do not perceive the stridently anti-Israeli and anti-Zionist rhetoric of many Democrats including Ocasio-Cortez, Omar, and Tlaib as directed against them. On the contrary, they are eager to participate in the deception that there is a difference between being anti-Semitic and anti-Israeli. As long as the Democratic leadership pays the slightest lip service to “fighting anti-Semitism”, even if they lump it together with Islamophobia and every other type of bigotry, the majority of American Jews will stay Democratic.
These progressive american Jews are indeed slaves, just like our ancestors were in Egypt. They are enslaved by their own ideology, one that demands that they self-annihilate via the rejection of Jews as a nation and subsequently intermarriage and assimilation. The Egyptian exodus was made possible by Jews, over many centuries, not mingling with the Egyptians, but rather maintaining their distinct ethnic, national, and religious identity. There will be no American exodus, because American Jews do not wish to remain apart, to maintain their separate identity, and to acknowledge Israel as their ancestral homeland, regardless of who is currently in office there.
Trump and the 30% of Jews who are free from progressive dogma should, needless to say, do everything possible to peel away, to “red pill” as it were as many of their brethren as they can. It is politically savvy and is also a “mitzvah, a good deed, because as our Sages have said: he who saves a single soul, has saved the world. But let us not entertain the illusion of a massive exodus of Jews from the Democratic party; most of them will never choose to be free or in fact even remain Jewish. And that is just fine.

It would be nice if Jewish Americans left the Democratic and communist parties because they love America rather than their love of Israel.
I see a huge problem with this notion.
It has to with the pathological hatred that jews have for White European Americans, and the diabolically evil, as well as criminal under the International law – as codified by the 1947/1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (Article II: In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such: (b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; (c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;) — agenda that was launched in 1965 with the deliberately malicious passage of the 1965 Immigration legislation, which was crafted and advanced by two jewish politicians, Emanuel Cellar and Jacob Javits and which was intentionally designed to impose conditions of life upon the White majority population of America that would guarantee that they would be demographically, racially, and culturally replaced by unending swarms of non-Whites from every backwater, failed third world nation on the planet.
As political landscape now stands in America, the Republican Party is the only party that even remotely pretends to look out for the interests of the shrinking White conservative majority of America. My use of the word ‘pretend’ was not accidental, but in reality, the jewish elements that are already present within the GOP vigorously work to thwart any attempt, no matter how lame, tame or passive they might be – to serve the interests and preferences of the White conservative base of the GOP.
Drastic legal immigration reductions, border security, construction of the border Wall, deportation of every illegal alien now inside the USA, a complete termination of all third world, non-European immigration into America, these are the #1 examples of this jewish lead effort to subvert the wishes of the GOP base. Every attempt by Trump since he took office to fulfill the promises he made in 2016 on his #1 signature issue – immigration – is automatically thwarted, stymied, or circumvented by some leftist, usually jewish, Federal Judge.
So, here is the one million dollar question. How can it be even remotely possible for the White conservative base of the GOP to lay down a welcome mat for jews – when those same jews harbor such a deep rooted, pathological hatred towards White Americans and are hell bent on promoting immigration policies which are clearly within the officially codified definition of what is considered Genocide? By what measure of insanity would the White majority base of the GOP wish to form any kind of partnership with jews who seek to racially replace them and to engineer their ultimate genocide – while trying to pass laws that make any and all resistance to this genocide illegal?
By the way. Are White Americans – or, for that matter, are White Europeans anywhere on Earth – trying to stick their noses into the immigration policies of the State of Israel and demanding that Israel allow their nation to be invaded by millions of non-jews from every third world failed nation on the planet? Answer: No we are not. In fact, we respect the Israelis for their desire to maintain their racial majority position and dominance over their nation.
Why is our respect for the Israeli desire to remain dominant in Israel greeted with screams of hatred, vitriol, and accusations of racism when Whites simply want the same assurance of our continued dominance over our native homelands? How else can any specific racial, ethnic, or cultural group secure their God given right to self determination and self-governance?
Your anti-semetic views are what continue to divide and perpetuate racism. Yes there are communist jews in positions of power that are obstructing the efforts of the President but the rest of us clear thinking American loving jews hate them more than you do as they provide cannon fodder to bigots like yourself. You are actually a pawn of the forces that are destroying America by dividing and labeling which only makes it easier for the ” transformation ” of America. It has been said by someone smarter than me ” we either hang together or we will surely hang alone “.
Please answer my question: What is a “Zionist”? My understanding, is that these are those Jews, post WWII, who have said, “Never Again”. Meaning that they would not go to the ovens without a fight. So, I am conflicted, the Zionist says never again, while the Jews in America abhor firearms, and want to dis-arm me, and destroy the 2nd Amendment.
Actually, Zionism is a movement that started in the late 1800’s in Europe whose goal was to reestablish, after nearly 2,000 years, Jewish sovereignty in the Land of Israel and bring many Jews from places where they were exiled like Europe, America, Africa, etc. back to their original homeland – Israel. Israel became an independent country in 1948 and since then the Zionist movement supports more Jews going to live there and is the fundamental ideological underpinning of Israel
If it’s not a possibility, it should be a reality with the way the democrat party views Israel and Jews as a whole. In this country American Jewry can no longer hide behind the facade of “If I keep my head down, they won’t notice me”. Jewry like Christianity is under attack everywhere in the world and the only way to stop this hatred is to face it head on, and be prepared to strike back. Any type of peace comes through strength.
I’m sure that Islam when it takes over won’t be at all concerned whether it’s first victims are American or Israeli aligned Jews, all heads align the same under the sword.
