It’s been a mystery to me why Jews have remained mostly Democrat. Leftist anti-semitism was rearing its head during the Clinton era, and they did not seem to mind. The situation has only gotten worse since then. I wonder at what point the anti-semitism will become too much for them to tolerate?

Most modern Jews worship the State. A society built on individual freedom without a massive nanny-state to manage people's lives is completely alien to them.

It's really that simple, folks.

Earlier. When I voiced admiration for the Israeli Army after 1973, I received a frosty look from another Jew who said:”I’m ashamed to be Jewish.” He meant he was ashamed to be related in any way to a military victory by an historically oppressed, despised and defeated group.

A few years later, after considerable separation from the person quoted above, we were in another conversation. I made a disparaging comment about political correctness (yes, it was a thing back in the 1980s among the left)and received a huffy, “I’m politically correct,” in reply. I was shocked, because this was a sarcastic person whose defining rhetoric was to laugh at and make fun of everyone. The lack of self-awareness was stunning.

There is a capo mentality among older Jews. Younger ones seem to teeter on an edge between claiming a smidge of victimhood and making sure everyone knows they aren’t nationalistic Jews who see Israel as the one last place of refuge should genocidal SHTF again. There is a rising pride in belonging to Temples (as opposed to synagogues) that incorporate Buddhist chanting and chimes into Friday night services. They call themselves BuJews.

I saw no decline when young Jewish college students were being attacked by Muslims and their enablers on college campuses.

I no longer have any leftist connections, including family members, so I don’t know for sure, but I doubt many will ever publicly disavow the left. Perhaps working class Jews will do so. Eventually. When they see that submission doesn’t work. Maybe.

Dummocrap Jews are overwhelmingly NOT religious Jews. They were born with that hardwired "do good" Jewish trait, but were never educated in their religion, which instructs how the "do good" urge is to be channeled. Thus, they took various liberal causes to their breast, as they allowed them to take out those "do good" feelings on them. Save the whales, doctors without borders, Sierra Club, etc. became their religion analog.

They were raised to think that these secular causes were to be cherished as much as a religion. So it's no surprise that they have voted for candidates purporting to support such causes, and why it's hard for them to change.

Most secular Jews were also not raised to revere Israel as holy to their people--to them, it's just a country. So people attacking Israel verbally do not trigger outrage in many of them as they would to a more religious Jew. So the new dummocrap anti-Israel stance does not draw the same outrage as it would to be more religious Jew either. Again, so they just continue to vote for their libtard candidates as usual. It is refreshing to me to see that SOME lib Jews HAVE finally reached a point where the antisemitic views spewed forth by a lot of the libtard candidates have apparently reached a point of critical mass and they are finally disgusted and ready to withdraw their lifelong support of the dummocraps.
