On Saturday, Roger L. Simon lamented at PJ Media that anti-Semitism is once again becoming respectable – or at least acceptable – across the Western world, and that this time around the Jew-haters are predominantly Muslims and leftists. Among the more prominent new standard bearers of this old hatred, noted Simon, are our two recently elected Muslim congresswomen, who, he quite reasonably surmised, “were likely inculcated at an early age, as were too many Muslim children, with the belief that Jews only (pace Darwin) were the descendants of pigs and apes and should be wiped from the Earth.”

Interesting that Muslims hate everyone else, even democrats, as infidels, but democrats will take them into the party If they are a democrat vote.

Re #2; along with your statement, I will add that those in the Democrat leadership are political whores.

If every time one of these antisemites almost take advantage of something created by a Jewish researcher/inventor/business the Muslims or Leftist were kept away from that benefit UNLESS and until they said they wanted it knowing a Jew developed it, their attitude would change quickly.
Can you imagine if all Muslims willingly kept themselves from coming to Europe or America rather than "suffer" a vaccination created by a Jew?
Leftists, too, would be sitting in coffee houses without computers, tablets, smart phones, etc., all because "divestment."

The first sentence gets it wrong. It has always been leftists who are the Jew-haters. Does Bawer not know that the Nazis were socialists?

Someone said recently that those who virtue signal the loudest are very often those without any virtue. The NYT columnists, indeed most of the media, the dem leadership and the silent republicans who sanctimoniously joined Pelosi in voting against President Trump seem to bear this out.

Look back at the history of WWII and you might get an idea of human psychology and that of the dem party. FDR, a dem, had to be forced into the war by Pearl Harbor. The US bent backwards to apologize for and tolerate Hitler. Yes, FDR talked about supplying arms for Europe to "fight for freedom" but would NOT commit to war. The Congress was solidly in dem hands and it was thought they would NOT approve a resolution of war with Germany.
One of the most evil of regimes, one continually evoked by dems to attack their political foes (They are Nazis!), was tolerated by the dems until we were disgracefully sneak attacked and dems were FORCED to take action.
That is what dem history is. They are often on the wrong side until they cannot avoid the tides of history. After, they pretend they were leaders in the fight.
Jews are supposed to be an educated people. They are being fools.

Actually #8, the dems weren´t even forced to declare war on Germany after the sneak attack at Pearl Harbor. A declaration of war against Japan was a no brainer, but it wasn´t until Hitler declared war on us that we finally reciprocated. The US left ignored the Nazi threat because they were allied with their brethren in the USSR under the Soviet - German Non-aggression Pact. Even when Germany attacked the USSR in June of 1941, there was somewhat a realization of the Nazi threat, but no groundswell of support for war against Germany.

Don´t I just wish!!!!!! But aside from my husband and a few others, American Jews vote Democrat no matter what, and if there is a worry they just close their eyes and plunge on or school themselves to be low info voters.

FTA: "...anti-Semitism is once again becoming respectable – or at least acceptable – across the Western world, and that this time around the Jew-haters are predominantly Muslims and leftists."
I have news for everyone: LAST time around it was also MUSLIMS AND LEFTISTS!
The Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei, or NSDAP (National SOCIALIST German Workers´ Party) were LEFTISTS! We all know this and I have brought it up in past posts. The pogroms against Jewish people in the Soviet Union were carried out by LEFTISTS. The muzzie ideology is a LEFTIST ideology.
ALL EVIL IN THE WORLD COMES FROM THE LEFT. PERIOD.
You can disagree with me but, of course, you would be wrong.
That is all.

Jews interested in their safety should pay particular attention to the Democrat Party’s bending over backwards to appease a couple of Jew haters. About 70 years ago Jews paid little attention to a mustached loon in Germany either. Only the wise learn from history.

On one of the Sunday threads, a fellow Ldotter made a comment that has not left my mind: As with Blacks leaving the Democrat plantation, It´s time for Jews to leave the Democrat concentration camp.
In prison, you can try to break out. On a reservation, you can simply wander off. On a plantation, you can buy your freedom. But in a concentration camp you must free yourself or wait for the USMC or the American Army. Crawling under barbed wire is painful, but the last option may take longer.

I have wondered for some time why the Jewish people choose not to stand as an entity on their own. Maybe because I have always been fiercely independent, needing to cut your own path is a desire of a free people.

Yes, when will they ever learn? Another voting bloc that needs to wake up to the Muslim horde is the LGBT. What do they think the Muslims want to do with them when they take power? Like Hitler, Muslim aims are not hidden around the world. Their aims are openly spoken.

I posted this in answer to the "why" question a week ago in a similar thread:
1. Most Jewish people in the USA are NE urban and over educated. They vote pretty much just like every other NE urban over educated group.
2. Many Jewish people came from Europe/Russia when the two political choices were Communist (who promised equal treatment to all) and various kind of Nationalist (who promised to kill the Jews and meant it). So there is a ethnic fondness for the lies of commies. Bernie Sanders falls into this camp.
3. The Republican Party used to be the white shoe law firms, Lutherans, and country clubs. They didn´t like Jews much. (This the the running joke that was CaddyShack.) Think James Baker "F--k the Jews, they don´t vote for us anyway." I saw a few echos of Baker right here on this thread.
4. Going back to #2 a bit, Nationalism has historically been bad for Jews. Even now, we´re called "not really white" or "dual loyalty".
5. Yeah, we do identify with victims of discrimination. I´ve been beat up because I´m Jewish several times -- junior high beating put me in the hospital. Thus we are often suckers for do-gooder programs.
6. And finally, there is evangelical Christianity, which I consider some of the finest, most earnest, people in the world. Of course, I am Orthodox, so I am secure in my theology. Anyway, there are lies promulgated by Democrat groups that the only reason Christians like Israel is to somehow force the End of the World as We Know It by . . . something.
Finally, there is hope. We Orthodox are growing much faster than the Reform. We have children; they have dogs.
We Orthodox vote Republican, more so than Southern Baptists.

The Jews are mostly socialists and will vote Democrat. Funny about the Jews, they are very much capitalists with their own affairs, but not with yours.

I have one thing to say to the Democrats and Muslims, the Deplorables are going to push back against you hard, and put a boot up your butt come 2020.
AOC, you keep trying to spread your socialist leftest agenda and you will be gone in 2020 too.
We fought wars to give you the right to have a say at the well, but you will not be given the right to destroy this United States, be Warned.

Kudos to #20, especially the second and third points. The GOP had been Country Club elitist for a long time, as in "No Jews allowed," before the more egalitarian deplorables came on board. And the old Country Club set is still trying to claim sole ownership of a restricted party.
As for the Christian influence, the "Church" in Europe was not friendly (major understatement!) to the Jews for centuries--old fears die hard. Meanwhile, the Jews found a home with the socialists, who offered equality and assimilation to all. That´s why any chance of associating with the Christian faithful today is so thorny. Not only are the two systems in total opposition--despite the efforts of some to marry them--but history also works against it.

I am a Jewish republican/conservative . I had friends that are Jewish democrats. WE went to school together.For the most part they are kind, generous people with nice families. They support Israel. I could say intelligent but that would be a lie. I cannot be friends with them. They not only voted for obama, they worship him.It´s sickening.

It´s a paradox with Catholics and Jews...the Democrat Party believes and does what is against the Catholic Church and the Jews / Israel and so many vote for Democrats...they might think "their Democrat" is not like that but your Democrat support the evil wackos. To those that support Democrat, please wake up and see the harm being done.

Overall, probably one of the most enlightening exchanges of posts by Ldotters I´ve seen in some time. Much obliged.

Jexodus. Turns out every "Designated Victim Group" is in fact a victim of the Democrat Party. Time to get woke about it.
