A bit hyperbolic..I’m sure no one “let” these things happen, but it does express my frustration nicely. Maybe it will wake-up a few sleepers.

American “Jews” are primarily “Jews” In Name Only.

My niece gave her Bat Mitzvah speech in which she denied the existence of G-d, and everyone clapped politely.

I believe this is the primary position of the majority of Jews (”JINOs”) in America: G-d does not exist.

The Democrat Party, though, is the font of all goodness. They do worship the Party.

The Democrat Party cannot muster a majority in favor of Israel with Jerusalem as its Capitol.

So, Jews in America have sold their patrimony. They and their erstwhile brethren will likely be slaughtered for their perfidy.

"American Jews are more likely to be atheist or agnostic than most Americans, especially so compared with Protestants or Catholics. A 2003 poll found that while 79% of Americans believe in God, only 48% of American Jews do"

For centuries, Jews lamented the loss of the Temple. Now that its reconstruction is within easy grasp, it appears they really don’t want it. I guess the obligations it implies would make life too difficult. Sometimes doing the right thing is not easy. Sometimes Hashem has to nudge people to do the right thing. Sometimes He has to has to force their hands.

This is a well-written article from 2011, and the issues mentioned are still present to the same degree or more so compared to two years ago. The pun on the Passover song "Dayenu" ("Enough") is clever. Notice that the authoress, though, fails to name the guilty individuals and organizations to which she is referring - perhaps purposefully.

I can think of at least two national Jewish organizations offhand that deserve to not be lumped together with the rest in this critique: the Republican Jewish Coalition (RJC) and the Zionist Organization of America (ZOA).

What is the organization structure or structures of modern Judaism? Is there any kind of modern version of the ancient priesthood? Is there any form of generally accepted dogma or teaching authority?
