Certainly not new in Jewish history. From Biblical warnings and punishments for adopting ‘the ways of the nations’ to Greeks to Christianity to false messiahs in the Middle Ages to the Enlightenment, huge numbers of Jews have been lost to the Jewish people. America isn’t different.
Sounds like Broward County...
Jewish (and since the church came into being, Christian) people have been falling away from.. and fighting against... Biblical faith and teachings...for thousands of years.
In Judaism, the term is “the Enemy Within”...(or, erev rav)...and dates back to at least Moses’ time in Sinai
Today, most faithful Jews no longer accept the idea that the actual Enemies are Within... people have free will, and this means that while a person can be born into a Jewish family, s/he can choose to “disfellowship” themselves by actively attacking Biblical faith and/or the Jewish people. Most of the persons-with-Jewish-sounding-names that promote the Enemies of Biblical faith and/or the Jewish people’s survival..............long ago adopted an alternate, and opposing, philosophy.... one diametrically opposed to Biblical faith and faith communities, peoples.
They are usually believers in communism or ‘progressivism’ or other state-centered, dictatorial ‘philosophies’...and often they have adopted or inculcated aspects of the Nazi-style anti-Semitism (thus, they are said to suffer from JSS or Jewish Suicide Syndrome).
Most faithful Jewish people consider these Enemies Within to be very, very sad cases, indeed. And most faithful Jews consider that these Enemies Within have proven by their evil actions, course of conduct.. to have disqualified themselves from any belonging to the Jewish people or faith (or, “is no longer part of Israel” or “is like a non-Jew in all respects”). Similar self-disqualification rules or concepts are found in most Christian churches, too, such as Roman Catholic Canon 915 and the concept of “disfellowship” or similar in many Protestant churches.
Similar for Catholics who advocate mass-scale abortion clinics like Pelousy...you can’t actively work for Satan and remain in the Book of Life
Being Jewish in the United States does not mean adhering to the Jewish faith, or even paying notice to the cultural accoutrements of their particular ethnic group. Like most leftists, their religion is government of the socialist variety.
Leftists are so dead set against anything they perceive to be an impediment to their enlightened goals, they reject the very civilization which produced the freedom to reject it.
The United States is the most visible and dynamic expression of Western civilization. Therefore, the United States must be rejected in favor of all who oppose it.
The moment the moslem terrorists — in a vicious expression of hatred for the United States — crashed those jets into those towers, the Left realized who their new best friends were.
The Left will always side with moslem terrorists over the United States, because of their shared hatred. In the eyes of Jewish leftists, Israelis are not fellow Jews; Israel is a miniature United States, and therefore Israelis are de facto oppressors of the underclass “minority” moslems.
The argument has been that Ashkenazi Jews in the diaspora have never been satisfied to commit themselves to the culture in which they have settled. Rather, just as the Jews who worshiped the Golden Calf in the Sinai they want to change the world in search of something amorphous, something better. It is why they were such an easy target in Europe when Hitler came to power.
The problems with “falling away” — and those ( fewer) who descend into becoming active enemies of God, Church, Christian/Jewish people —— is serious in most Biblicsl faith traditions —————it’s definitely a serious problem in Ashkhanazi Judaism but it exists in the Roman Catholic Church and a number of Protestant denominations too. —- falling away is one thing, becoming a hostile, enemy, attacker is yet another. Hard to fathom ( the active enemy type “Catholic” or “Protestant” or “jew”. Very hard to understand
“Would Greenblatt have said this about the masses of Nazis and German civilians killed in the course of World War ll?”
Doesn’t the Bible have many examples of what God does to the mealy-mouthed ?
Democrat Leftists importing the same ‘kill-the-jews’ type foreigners into their neighborhoods I guess hasn’t been realized yet by the Hamas-lovers.
