Alex Bensky,

If you are still following this thread….

I read the article by Jennifer Rubin and it helped me to see my question in a different light but I remain muddled nonetheless. What I do not understand, and admit I’m incapable of understanding, is how people (individuals and a group of individuals who identify as Jews) are unable to see that they are cooperating in their own destruction. Where does this come from? 3 millennium of persecution should make one “smell the coffee”! More power to the Israelis who are willing to resist until death.

I am a member of a large, extended clan of people who are connected by blood. Woe to any who seek to harm a member of my kin.

Jews need only to return to Judaism. When they do that, they will revile everything that Leftism, the Democrats and Progressivism stand for.
But, as it is, they have been brainwashed by leftist claptrap, even more so (but not that much more) than Catholics.
A problem is also that Jews are clever. Clever people can be wise. But more often than not their cleverness blocks their ability to see that they are fooled by their own ego.
In terms of wisdom cleverness is -like physical beauty- more an impediment than an advantage.

Bob. If they could blame it on the greedy rich, they probably wouldn’t mind very much.

The latest is that the smartest person in the world is opening conversations with the Moslem Brotherhood. Anyone care to guess if it will make anyone anywhere in the US electorate a bit less reality challenged. I’ll venture that anyone who still supports Obmessiah is so far down the rabbit hole that imminent death would produce indifference.

Daniel.
It appears, from your statement about Israeli Jews, that reality does have an effect.
Point is, in the US, Jews and libs in general are shielded from reality and are thus free to pursue other interests, such as self-esteem through self-congratulatory and publicly-flaunted liberalism.

In re the questions of “why Jews” do this or that, let me just remind you:

Jews are like everybody else, only more so.

Yes, it’s a joke, but I mean it seriously too. We Jews have our faults, plenty of them, but they’re not universal to us by any means. It just seems more pronounced among Jews sometimes.

And by similar reasoning, Israelis are just like Jews, only more so, in many ways. (Israel, and Israelis, are often depicted as bloodthirsty warmongers. I try to remind people of the massive demonstrations in Tel Aviv against the first Lebanon War, 1982-1985. One demonstration attracted ten percent of the entire Israeli population. Ten percent! What would a gathering of ten percent of Americans look like?)

Israelis, though, have the “advantage” of living in a rough neighborhood. Reality can be hard to escape from.

They do their best, though. The garden they have made bloom in the desert is beautiful, but those living in it can sometimes forget the harshness of the desert.

Nonetheless, Israelis know that ignoring reality can kill them. And they know whose side Obama is on. Last I looked, his popularity in Israel was approaching single digits.

respectfully,
Daniel in Brookline

[…] are the MSM helping their friends the Dems. Obama is in as much trouble with the Move On types (not to mention moderates) as any Republican nominee will be with the most rabid of the Tea Party folk. All I can say is […]

I was actually stunned speechless after shul last Shabbat when a woman, in her eighties, mind you, said, “Israel can take care of itself. What I care about is abortion rights!” I literally could not respond, which for me is pretty rare.

As many of you have pointed out, for most Jews today, Judaism is religionized leftism. Yes, if Adolph Hitler ran on the Democratic tiicket, the majority of Jews would vote for him.

The only thing I can posit to explain that is that for the last 2,000 years, Jews had “Scratch a goy, and you’ll find an anti-Semite,” beaten in to them the hard way.

Republican is synonymous with “goy” to them, so that’s the way they react. Even to Jewish Republicans. Maybe Lysenko was right.

BTW, I know quite a few Jews from the Former Soviet Union. They are, to a person, firmly, not to say wildly, Republican.
