America has seen many presidents who have been good to Israel and the Jewish people. None has been better than Donald Trump. Beyond doubt, he has done unmatched and extraordinary things for Israel and has publicly spoken against anti-Semitism in the United Nations and repeatedly during his State of the Union addresses. The whole world has seen the priority Mr. Trump bestows on Israel and safety for Jews. Additionally, he and his father were tremendous friends and benefactors to Jews and Israel, much prior to his entering politics. Yet the establishment Jewish organizations and temples have too often falsely maligned him, and liberal American Jewry (about 70% of American Jewry) have been his most vocal critics. Actually, they are in the forefront against him, as often seen on television, in articles, and in speeches from non-orthodox rabbis on the pulpit. Even among regular liberal Jews, the railing against Mr. Trump is incessant, hysterical, mean, and full of hate. All of this constitutes gross, unprecedented ingratitude. Jewish Tradition frowns on ingratitude, indeed calls it a sin.
Many in the secular Jewish community do not consider their attitude ungrateful inasmuch as support for Israel is no longer important to them, and they seem undaunted when anti-Semitism comes from the political Left (their home), or from social justice warriors and certain “minorities.” What they consider good for Jews most often has nothing to do with Jewish need at all, but rather a universalist agenda at odds with Jewish survival. In their zeal to destroy and remove Mr. Trump from the presidency, they have gone beyond ingratitude to downright lying about him, scheming against him, and throwing normal fairness and decency out the window…

I don’t understand American Jewry. Look at what’s happening in Germany today, reminiscent of the 1930’s. Do Jews refuse to see that what has happened in the past, can easily happen again. American Jews seem to believe that because they live in the US they are untouchable. We now have the influence of the radical left in the US, with members of the Hse of Reps being openly hostile toward Israel with their anti-Semitic rhetoric, and yet American Jews instead of standing up to it, in point of fact often condone it. It boggles the mind. Donald Trump has been a good friend to Israel but the American Jewry choose to ignore him by either attacking him or hiding their heads in the sand. The locals should keep in mind that his mandate has a time frame, and the next President may not hold them in such high esteem.
Ive often wondered about these unnatural allegiances of American Jews. long before Trump came to power.
We will have only ourselves to blame when another tragedy strikes, or rather the 70 majority who will have brought this upon our heads. We have been through this before.
Everyone with half a brain has to wonder why the Jews remain Democrats and attack Trump. I’ve always considered Jews to be extremely competent in many fields. My personal doctors have always been Jews simply because they are among the most competent physicians out there. Same with the sciences and business. They just seem to “have it”. But they lack common sense. They can’t seem to grasp who is the enemy and who is the friend. Very odd. At first I thought I was missing something and deferred to their judgement, but now I know their judgement is flawed to the point that they will lose again. Eventually, we can be swinging back to the 1930s before they understand what is going on around them. They are pulling on the wrong side of the rope. Amazing stuff.
These are really good comments, especially that of Aranhas.
