It is probably impossible to overstate the damage left-wing -- not liberal but left-wing -- Jews are doing to Judaism, Jews and America. Of course, the same can be said of the damage left-wing Catholics are doing to Catholicism and America, other left-wing Christians are doing to Christianity and America, and, most obviously, the damage the secular left-wing is doing. But since anti-Semitism is in the news, and given the prominence of many left-wing Jews, I will focus on them.
The damage done to Jews by left-wing Jews is not new. It began at the beginning of the left with Karl Marx, the grandson of two Orthodox rabbis (his parents had undergone pro forma conversion to Christianity). He wrote one of the most anti-Semitic tracts of the 19th century, "On the Jewish Question," published in 1844. In it he wrote, among other things:
"What is the worldly religion of the Jew? Huckstering ..."
"What is his worldly God? Money ..."
"Money is the jealous god of Israel, in face of which no other god may exist ..."
"In the final analysis, the emancipation of the Jews is the emancipation of mankind from Judaism."
In the early 20th century, another left-wing Jew, Leon Trotsky, who, along with Lenin, led the Bolshevik Party in Russia, was a catastrophe for Jews and for humanity. In 1920, when Trotsky was head of the Red Army, Moscow's chief rabbi, Rabbi Jacob Mazeh, asked him to use the army to protect the Jews from pogromist attacks in which tens thousands of Jews were murdered. Trotsky is reported to have responded: "Why do you come to me? I am not a Jew," to which Rabbi Mazeh answered: "That's the tragedy. It's the Trotskys who make revolutions, and it's the Bronsteins who pay the price."
That is the story of the many Jewish leftists to this day: Jewish leftists make revolutions, and all the Jews (among millions of others) pay the price.
Thus, many of the leaders of the movement to economically strangle Israel -- the Boycott, Divest, Sanctions (BDS) movement -- are left-wing Jews.
A few years ago, I was invited to the world's most famous debating forum, the Oxford Union, to debate the farcical question of whether Israel or Hamas is a greater obstacle to peace in the Middle East. One of my two adversaries was a Jewish former professor at Oxford. He argued that Israel was a greater threat to peace than Hamas.
Another prominent left-wing Jew, MIT professor Noam Chomsky, has devoted his life to writing and speaking against two countries: the United States and Israel.
The security of the world's only Jewish state is by far the greatest security issue for world Jewry. Yet many left-wing Jews attack Israel, support many of those who wish to destroy Israel or, at the very least, do nothing to strengthen Israel's security.
In America today, leftism has poisoned so many non-Orthodox synagogues, they differ only from the American Civil Liberties Union or the Democratic Party in their use of Hebrew liturgy.
Many non-Orthodox synagogues sat shiva -- Judaism's seven days of mourning after the death of an immediate relative -- when Donald Trump was elected president. This perversion of Judaism is an example of what leftism does to every religion it infiltrates. I suspect none of those synagogues sat shiva after the murder of 11 Jews in Pittsburgh. Why? Did the election of Donald Trump bother them more? Left-wing Jews are ethnically Jewish, but their values derive from leftism (just as the current pope is Catholic in his identity but his values derive from leftism).
The current charge that the Pittsburgh massacre was caused by President Trump is one of the greatest libels in American history. Virtually every left-wing columnist and commentator has spread this lie, most of them written by left-wing Jews such as the Washington Post's Dana Milbank. One of their lies is that attacks on George Soros are anti-Semitic.
I think George Soros is a malevolent force. Am I an anti-Semite? (To answer that, let's compare what I have done for Jews and Judaism with what any of these left-wing Jews have done.) But left-wing Jews have always done this. They attributed the execution of the Rosenbergs -- who, immoral leftists that they were, passed on the secrets to the atom bomb to Stalin -- to anti-Semitism. The judge in the Rosenberg case was a Jew. But to left-wing Jews, that didn't matter. Ever since Stalin labeled Trotsky a "fascist," leftists have always depicted their opponents as "Nazis," "racists," "anti-Semites," "fascists," "haters" and "bigots." That is their modus operandi.
Many of these left-wing Jews base this libel about President Trump's "role" in the context of an equally libelous claim that there has been a great rise in American anti-Semitism in the Trump era -- resulting in the Pittsburgh massacre -- based on an Anti-Defamation League study. The study's mendacity is fully exposed by David E. Bernstein, a professor of law at George Mason University Law School and a Trump opponent, in two devastating reviews (one on Reason.com and one in Tablet Magazine). Read them and you will understand one of the most important things you need to know about the left: Truth is not a left-wing value. The ADL, which at one time was preoccupied with fighting anti-Semitism, is now preoccupied with fighting Donald Trump and fighting on behalf of the American left.
In 1970, a Harris study showed that 23 percent of Jewish college students termed themselves "far left" versus 4 percent of Protestants and 2 percent of Catholics.
Many of those college students are now many of the non-Orthodox rabbis and lay leaders in American Jewish life. Given the rule that whatever the left touches it ultimately ruins (the universities, for example), the Bronsteins will continue to pay the price for the Trotskys' revolutions.
I have found that when these “Leftist” Jews get in touch with The Messiah, they become Pauls.
The fact that the ceremony interrupted by Bowers was a bris for twin boys adopted by a homosexual male couple was a metaphorically powerful indication of how far from Judaism many American “Jews” have gone. What were the odds that at that very moment some heretical and blasphemous Satanic ritual would be in progress? Too high, if what I have seen in many other synagogues is any indication.
Jews that explicit reject the unambiguous laws of the Torah, such as Lev18:22, are not genuinely Jews and should not be allowed to masquerade as such.
If you feel isolated, alienated and persecuted the siren song of the Left seems attractive, palatable and worth embracing. Sadly siren songs lead you onto the rocks. Reflect on the wisdom of the passage that states it does no good to obtain the whole world if it means the loss of the soul. The result is dissolution in a mass of hedonistic decadence. Much suffering has resulted when people embrace the Left.
I can think of half a dozen or more cultural Jews who need to read this, but won’t.
I thought that was an excellent point.
WHERE aside from Praeger and many conservative Jews from FR, are the outspoken American Jewish voices speaking out against collectivism and the effort to throw open the gates to Third World immigration..?
Should they let out a tiny peep, gentiles in almost every case are shouted down as Nazis...
bump

We’re on Gab.
Why did you think they were so eager to shut that site down?
Left-wing Blacks protect/justify their actions by invoking racism; left-wing Jews protect/justify their actions by invoking The Holocaust.
So, do left-wing Jews feel that globalism/NWO is where they need to be a strong presence, hoping they’ll be the leaders and rabbis in it?
omg, are you serious..?!
I thought it was anti-semitism that shut them down..!
..????
Consider the effect that having an attempted Communist takeover in Germany in 1919, with one of the leaders being Jewish ( Rosa Luxemburg), and a temporary Communist takeover of nearby Hungary by Bela Kun (of Jewish descent) had on Germans. It made it easy for Hitler to paint Communism as a Jewish conspiracy.
BFL
One of the many things that confuse me is a liberal Jew.
Those types are sure to destroy Israel.
And, sooner or later, themselves.
Gab made itself into the default choice for everyone who gets censored on Twitter.
Twitter has ramped up its censorship program in a massive way over the past couple of years.
If you are conservative in any way, especially if you are outspoken about immigration, you get labeled as racist and censored on Twitter.
So everyone sick of being limited to the ever-dwindling permitted range of expression by the increasingly Maoist Twitter has been going to Gab.
If I had to guess I’d say Gab has 100 Jewish users for every “Nazi” (which actually constitutes 80% Brock employees, 10% feds, and 8% bored Canadian teenagers looking for shock value).
They weren’t after Nazis. They were after the freedom to voice non-Maoist opinions.
I will make my usual statement now. I am a Jew who voted for Trump in the Michigan primary and election in 2016.
I do not associate with any Jews who are Dems.
Leftist Jews were told by their mommies as toddlers to hate the GOP (for big business and the Father Coughlin style anti-semites) and to love the Dems and Socialists (for the little guy, for the downtrodden minorities who have less than others have). They never grew out of that.
Example: In the 1990s I watched a woman (Dem) and little son watching TV . The little boy said “That’s Newt. He’s one of the ones we hate, isn’t he, mommy?” “Yes.”
24% of Jews voted for Trump. Most were observant Jews do (a group not connected with the beliefs of TV show or movie producers and staffs, comedians,rock singers or celebrity authors who are Jews.) Cultural or non-observant Jews often disdain Israel and don’t care who supports Israel (Trump does).
A website of interest about this thread topic is Jews For the Preservation of Firearm Ownership.
God help us all... there are a lot of social Baals. If there’s something that we can learn from bible history, it’s that the line of Jewish people seems to keep on getting mixed up with Baals and with them, blatant sin. So are we seeing something new, something out of context, something God didn’t anticipate? No....

- Matt Bracken: Social Media, Free Speech, and Censorship
"...Gab’s founder, Andrew Torba, preaches the gospel of untrammeled free speech, and it’s a seductive message to be sure—but not one without serious hazards. For example, Gab quickly became a haven for perverts who like to share sexualized photos of children that are just a hair below the legal definition of child pornography. And far more notoriously, Gab became a safe haven for radical neo-Nazi fanatics."...
It's a problem of worldly philosophy. From of old, Jews were told by the Lord that He wanted their presence to bless the countries in which they would live. And frequently it has, reflecting back in their own good fortunes in the process. But some Jews have inverted the question into "what's in it for just us"? (This can happen in Christendom too.) This is to choke divine grace.
Free speech means that people who want to say things you don’t want to hear get to say them anyway. Even if they are Nazis.
Once you allow the creation of a class of politically unacceptable speech, the Left with seize control of the terms and define all dissent to be politically unacceptable. As you can see when they call us racists and -phobes and yes even Nazis, and demand our “hate speech” (which they get to define) be eliminated and even punished.
The conditions under which I get to have my say and Nazis don’t cannot exist. There is no system of regulating political speech which will not be used as a weapon by the Left to eliminate dissent. They are as regular as clockwork, as dependable as the sun rising.
