Only 40% of Democrats say Israel is justified to attack Gaza

Only 40 percent of U.S. Democrats believe in the right of self defense, at least when it comes to the Jewish state of Israel, according to a new poll released this week.

A new CNN poll shows that only "four in ten Democrats believe that Israel's actions in Gaza are justified."

Although 57 percent of U.S. citizens agree that Israel's military response in Gaza against Hamas rocket attacks is justified, only 40 percent of Democrats polled side with Israel.

Most Republicans supported Israel with a whopping 74 percent, while 59 percent of independents also supported Israel.

Communism has been from its start an antisemitic death cult.

Especially for religious Jews, only problem is, too many people don’t seem to know about the Doctors’ Plots from the Soviet Union, in which numerous doctors, most of whom were Jewish, were executed for violating dictated medical standards, including administering synthetic insulin as treatment for diabetes, which is the accepted modern standard, and an alleged attempt to poison Stalin and other Communist Party members. A lot of suspicion is there that there was anti-semitic influences involved, as plenty of the doctors’ actions were medically “right” for the patients, and the sources leading to the conviction of an attempted assasination were sketchy witness testimonies at best. One thing for sure is that a totalitarian regime runs on paranoia so bad, your religion, ethnicity could be the next target for genocide when something goes wrong.

Just drop the liberal bit. They’re fascists, tried and true.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I will do so gladly.

I’d love to keel haul each and every one of those fascist scabs on the WHite House staff who are
acting against the Constitution.

BTW, enforcing and defending the constitution is the right of every citizen. We do not have to let the courts do it.

The story of European Jews and communism is complicated. Communism has been from its start an antisemitic death cult.

It's really not that complicated. Usually people say that when they don't want to admit the all too common association between European Jewry and Communism. Again, it wasn't an accident that it was so easy for the Nazi's to persuade much of the public that the Jews were Bolsheviks. Even Winston Churchill spoke about the particular connection between International Jewry and Marxism. For whatever reason a disturbing percentage of Jews gravitate to socialist politics. The reasons are obviously varied, but I'd argue it is because their history of persecution has driven them, misguidedly, to support strong central government and all efforts to weaken the power of the dominant religion in any society that live in. Perhaps this habit of theirs will fade with time, but I am not terribly confident about that.

Quite a few Jews were and are Socialists. Communism is another matter. It is an atheist religion, one founded by a man who wanted to destroy Judaism and Jewishnes.

In its perfected practice, Christian egoism of heavenly bliss is necessarily transformed into the corporal egoism of the Jew, heavenly need is turned into world need, subjectivism into self-interest. We explain the tenacity of the Jew not by his religion, but, on the contrary, by the human basis of his religion – practical need, egoism.

Since in civil society the real nature of the Jew has been universally realized and secularized, civil society could not convince the Jew of the unreality of his religious nature, which is indeed only the ideal aspect of practical need. Consequently, not only in the Pentateuch and the Talmud, but in present-day society we find the nature of the modern Jew, and not as an abstract nature but as one that is in the highest degree empirical, not merely as a narrowness of the Jew, but as the Jewish narrowness of society.

Once society has succeeded in abolishing the empirical essence of Judaism – huckstering and its preconditions – the Jew will have become impossible, because his consciousness no longer has an object, because the subjective basis of Judaism, practical need, has been humanized, and because the conflict between man’s individual-sensuous existence and his species-existence has been abolished.

The social emancipation of the Jew is the emancipation of society from Judaism.
Karl Marx, On the Jewish Question

Jews, or rather former Jews, certainly were drawn to it. However, few Jews supported the Bolsheviks. Plenty of Latvians did, but no one speaks of the Latvian Bolshevism.

the reasons are obviously varied, but I'd argue it is because their history of persecution has driven them, misguidedly, to support strong central government and all efforts to weaken the power of the dominant religion in any society that live in.

That is one thing that pushes them to liberalism and socialism. But communism is another matter.
