New York Times headline: "On Israel, Progressive Jews Feel Abandoned by Their Left-Wing Allies.
NBC News: "The left faces a reckoning as Israel divides Democrats."
Time Magazine: "How the Activist Left Turned on Israel."
Los Angeles Times: "'The left has really let us down.' Why many American Jews feel abandoned"
Financial Times: "Left's take on Hamas stuns American Jews -- and threatens Democratic party split."
You get the point.
Left-wing American Jews feel betrayed by the Left. A Left that remains anti-Israel even after the greatest single-day massacre of Jews since the Holocaust, and even though most Palestinians and their supporters explicitly call for the destruction of the Jewish state: "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free."...
The Left called for "defunding the police," supports attorneys general who abolish bail for violent criminals, and praised demonstrations against America....
The Left supports all-black dorms and all-black graduations on college campuses. The Left has almost destroyed every liberal ideal regarding race... The Left -- specifically schools of education and teachers unions -- has ruined elementary schools and high schools. And it has destroyed universities as institutions that allow open dialogue.
The Left affirms the lie that men can become women and women can become men.... The Left has been waging the most successful war against free speech in American history... The Left has essentially destroyed mainstream journalism. Mainstream media no longer hold truth as an ideal... The Left has poisoned American medicine...

Well, when you sleep with flea infested things....... Just sayin’. We know a few of them. Doesn’t matter to them as long as it isn’t PDJT. Can’t wrap my little pea brain around their mentality.
🙏🇺🇸🇮🇱👍
Don't bet on it. They'll whine and moan but they'll still vote dem.
Not sure why they’d be “shocked” since the Progressive Left has always been against Israel.
Is this how American Jews really feel or is this just wishful thinking by a right winger?
Democrat Jews, must be the dumbest people on earth.
Well, Prager himself went through that same journey many years ago, so he may understand it better than most of us.
I grew up thinking I was anti-Semitic. All the Jews I was aware of in suburbia voted the Progressive line.
Then I met a few conservative Jews and the scales fell off my eyes. I realized what I hated was LIBERALS, not Jews!
Still, as a group, the Jewish voting record and financial support has paved the road for the mess we are in.
They will still vote for Democrats.
Leftist Jews aren’t Jewish, instead they’re leftists, socialists, and communists. Being Jewish rates very low on their ‘totem pole’.
In Leninist and Stalinist Russia, leftist Jews didn’t care when Jews were being purged and killed. Because they truly believed in “the cause” of communism.
Leftist Jews in the US, mostly in the Lower East Side NYC, were entirely aligned with Soviet communism. They first hated Nazis, but when the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact was signed, officially the Treaty of Non-Aggression between Germany and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, suddenly US Jews were all in favor of the Nazis.
They had no problem with a 180 degree shift in their opinions. Then when the Nazis invaded the Soviet Union, American Leftist Jews did another 180 degree turn overnight, once again hating the Nazis.
Other Americans snickered at them for their blatant hypocrisy, but they didn’t care. “the cause” is more important to leftist Jews than anything.
Even today, Israel doesn’t really matter to leftist Jews, especially if it is being led by a conservative like Netanyahu. It only matters if it is led by a leftist, socialist, or communist.
People don’t like them for various reasons-understandable.
Do they mistreat each other in a way that’s acceptable to them?
I’m not so sure. I used to think like that. Maybe, if “someone does something” here in America, then perhaps. IMHO, a leftist is a leftist first, last and everything in between.
For example, read the account a a Jewish Synagogue shooting in Seattle in 2006. Think that changed the leftist Jews voting patterns in Seattle? Hell no, it did not. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seattle_Jewish_Federation_shooting
So until the Jews actually do something different, I remain skeptical. After all, today’s Jew has the DNA of their ancestors who aimlessly wandered around a desert for many moons.
Did they not notice the American left hero worshiping the anti-semetic Barack Obama since 2008? This is really old news.
I went through that same journey in the late 1970s.
The current antisemitism is bound to escalate moving from hate graffiti to the burning of synagogues. Perhaps more liberal Jews will see the left for the bigots they are when there is another kristollnacht in the US.
Not true.
Left wing Jews In Name Only are protesting in favor of the genocidal Hamas which will murder them next.
Dear American Jews,
All the Left ever wanted was your votes and your money.
They never gave a damn about you.
Vote accordingly in the future.
Sincerely,
Red Badger.......................
New York police arrest hundreds after Israel-Hamas protest at Grand Central
Dozens of mostly Jewish protesters staged a sit-in on the station’s main concourse calling for a Gaza ceasefire.
They got what they voted for.
Just saw one female Jew on Newsmax that is “shocked” at the behavior by her fellow collegians. She now feels “”unsafe”” there. It was just a matter of time before reality hit her. It always does, eventually. For some it just takes longer.
