Anti-Semitism has been one of the many legs of the Demonrat party for eons. Kick it out, and the party collapses.

Liberal Jews don’t care about anti-Semites unless they are white. She was invited and spoke at a synagogue.

Precisely. They’ve always meant to promote it instead of confront.

yes.
70+ percent vote against their best interests, even now for a party that is promoting anti-Semitism

3 thoughts....may help a bit..

1. some just vote like their great-grandparents did, as a matter of habit.. without thinking much. in the OLD days, the R party was largely unfriendly so they went D then ...FDR appointed a few (very highly-qualified and visible) Jewish people (even tho he was quite anti-Semitic in more important ways) and that was seen as a breakthrough, a reason to vote D, whereas the R party then, as with the GOP-E now, was largely run by “country club elites” that didn’t let many Jewish people into their clubs or colleges or businesses or the R party or anything much else.
OF COURSE TODAY’S JEWISH VOTERS SHOULD VOTE BASED ON TODAY’’S CONDITIONS.... but, alas, 70% + of them seem stuck in Habit mode, alas!

2. I met a very nice young Jewish lady from NYC... and I’ve listened and read NYC mass media... and there’s a constant leftist brainwashing going on in so much of today’s mass media...of course, this impacts (and is designed to impact) all kinds of voters, not only Jews... but since many Jews live in the NY media market, they get a full dose of this kind of Goebbels type Big Lie slanted brainwashing. The young lady was VERY intelligent, indeed she was visiting to lead an advanced level academic seminar......but her grasp of matters politic were just awful, she basically understood NOTHING... all she could manage to do was to parrot the anti-DJT propaganda she hears on the NY radio and TV all day

(I don’t blame her, she was willing to listen when I suggested she could learn something useful about politics...but ... how often do people actually chat with each other across party lines nowadays, especially in places like NYC where people barely talk at all with each other, other than perhaps to hurl invectives, ha!)

3. There is within the Jewish community a sickness that does in fact appear to infect a large number of people.. it is a consequence of all the antiSemitism their families have had inflicted on them, it is sometimes called Jewish Stockholm Syndrome, or Jewish Suicide Syndrome, or Jewish self-hate disease, or whatever. Basically, they adopt the anti-Semitic bias they’ve had inflicted on them for so long...and thus, vote (without much conscious thought, alas) for their worst enemies.

4. There has been a tendency among some of the secularized or “reform” type Jewish people to sort of equate their “religious faith” with what has now come to be called a “social justice agenda”... this distortion of Jewish teaching has even been pushed or taught by a number of the “reform” rabbis in recent year.. so that the sermons are largely about leftist “good ideas” instead of, say, Biblical moral instruction and values. This is similar to many Roman Catholic churches nowadays...and all of the so-called “liberal” or WCC type Protestant churches. This is a disease, a misrepresentation of the once-Biblical/ Judeo-Christian faiths... and I hold some of the clergy as most responsible.

Best I can do to analyse the problem.
it does transcend denominations...as noted...so many Protestant churches are preaching or teaching such utterly anti_Biblical and IMMORAL trash nowadays! As are some RCC priests, alas.

times have changed, and not altogether for the better...

Put it this way:

One has a pebble in their shoe. It supposedly causes discomfort, which the person complains about. If, after a period of time the pebble isn’t removed, what’s the conclusion?

The pebble isn’t really a discomfort.
The complaining is nothing more than created drama and attention whoring.

I don’t listen to the complaining anymore.

And it was sad and painful drawing the conclusion that I did. I take no joy in it.

But...look at the facts. Look at what’s done and just said.

Actually, the answer to why leftist Jews vote Dem despite growing anti-Jewish sentiment in the Rat party and among progressives in general is much more simple — it’s because the issues they feel most strongly about are "LGBTQ", abortion-on-demand, multiculturalism, and so-called climate change. Israel is way down the list, and they’re in denial about Islamic anti-Semitism because of guilt over criticizing brown people.

So given those facts, who are they going to vote for, Republicans?

Thankfully a quarter of American Jews (on average) vote sanely.

Thanks. Tells me this:

WE DON'T WANT LIBERAL JEWS BECOMING REPUBLICANS - DEMOCRATS CAN KEEP THEM... NOW AND FOREVER.

Why?

Why wouldn’t they support Christians? We bring the world to the Hebrew God...

Why don’t they support Israel?

I advice taking some time to read articles from here: https://heartiste.wordpress.com for example.

Then research your findings, apply them to the world and see what you come up with.

Everything is right in front of you (or anyone that seeks the truth).

Anyone who trusts the legitimacy of election results in California is out of it.

Not in 24 years and 641 individual general election races since has a Republican defeated a Democrat incumbent in a federal race, not ONE. But yet EVERY incumbent defeated has been a Republican.

The legitimate statistical improbability of that is off the charts.

Yet...”crickets”...
