Would be nice if they stood up against communism now.
Either the majority of Jewish folks don’t read how much BLM and antifa are against them or they just don’t want to know.
There are, IMHO, a couple of factors at play here. I have a Jewish background, although I don't consider myself Jewish in faith or conduct. That's a topic for another time. But, I have Jewish relatives.
Most of them are habitual Jews, more or less observant. But, they are basically secular, and they are VERY liberal. They are also very civilized. They aren't going to join a Lansky action group. And, they are unthinkingly, relentlessly liberal, checking the Democratic box without fail.
So, the two factors at play are that vague ideas of liberalism are at least as important to them as religion or principle, and they don't have any real-world hard-knocks common sense.
It reminds me in a way of the beginning of the Rocky III movie, where the trainer is telling Rocky not to fight Clubber Lang, because, he says, "Then... the worst thing happened to you that can happen to a fighter. You became civilized."
The Jews who survived the pogroms and came to the US or Israel in the early to mid 20th century didn't have that failing.
There won’t be refuge for Jews in the U.S if Marxist ideology gets the upperhand. It won’t be whitey turning over every rock to get them.Think Ilhan Omar on steroids and what happened in Rwanda. Some Jews will initially cheer from the sidelines and be part of a commie regime. But they eventually get run over.
The ADL today is not the ADL I helped in the late 60’s/early 70’s. when real men, not Obama Marxists, ran it.
The problem as that liberal Jewish leaders, including the Communist and FDR-duped Rabbi Steven Wise (of same named synagogue fame) trusted Roosevelt and the Left to help save European Jews. It didn’t really work.
FDR bought off the dupe Wise with the Jewish Refugee Committee or group of similar name, a literally powerless organization set up to make Roosevelt seem to be doing something.
Remember the fate of the passengers of the SS St. Louis? FDR could have told Batista or his predecessor to let them land in Cuba and it would have happened.
FDR was only a “friend” of American Jews (and some European Jews) when he could use them for political or defense purposes. Otherwise, they were expendable.
