Because common sense and self preservation come AFTER RAT party loyalty.
Re: “Because common sense and self preservation come AFTER RAT party loyalty.”
I disagree with one word.
I think most American Jews abandon common sense and self preservation because of “philosophical” loyalty - not “party” loyalty.
Just as American Conservatives seek the fellowship of other Conservatives, just as American Conservatives would risk their lives in defense of Conservative principles, I think most American Jews seek the fellowship of the American Left, and I think most American Jews are willing to risk their lives and their standard of living in defense of Socialism and Pacifism.
My husband talked with our local Chabad rabbi, Rabbi Zimmerman and he said so many Jews in the Tucson area are angry that not one temple, reformed and orthodox is against the deal.
Rabbi Zimmerman is in Oro Valley and he wanted to attend Dennis Prager’s event here for CUFI, Christians United for Israel, but was not able to.
Prager in his talked rained shame on the rabbis who were not in attendance and not standing with Christians who want to protect Israel.
A Rabbi warning Zev Bronstein -- nom de guerre, Leon Trotsky -- that Jews will not profit from the Bolshevik revolution. The Rabbi was proven correct when a Stalin sent assassin crashed an ice axe in Leon Trotsky's head while he was exiled in Mexico.
