Way back in March of 2019, I proposed the idea that, similar to the BLAXIT movement, American Jews needed to remove themselves from the Democratic Party, which no longer exemplifies Jewish values, no longer supports Israel, and is controlled by leftist extremists who are anti-Semitic. Although slower than hoped for, it looks like this might finally be happening.
A recent poll after the midterms demonstrates this optimistic change. Thirty-three percent of Jews voted Republican in the primaries, up from 30% in 2020 and 24% in 2016. This new voting bloc proves two things: Jews are starting to wake up to political realities and letting go

The boys down at the synagogue hate ALL non-Jews yet demand to be loved. Criticize one and you’re a Nazi! They chose Barabbas over Jesus and have been choosing EVIL ever since. Not the slightest bit sorry.

I can easily see religious Jews would finally be "seeing the light" -- that the Demon-Rats hate them and use them.
But, sadly, very few Jews in America these days are religious. It's their nationality, not their faith. Most are just massive lie-berals, that hate Israel, support islamoterrorists, and would vote for the American Communist Party before they would vote for a conservative Republican. They are like Christians that go to church on Christmas and Easter, but have no use for their faith the rest of the year.
Hopefully they will eventually wake up.

"Are American Jews Finally Leaving the Democratic Party?" - cannot understand why the Jews of this country are so opposed to the liberties that the Republican Party espouses and have, for a very long time

I know a number of Jews and none of them are religious. Most never set foot in a synagogue and kosher is just a word. For them, being a Jew is just a word. They are rather like what Christians call Creasters - they come to church Christmas and Easter only. My Jewish friends are knee jerk Democrats and can't see the open anti-Semitism that almost all progs espouse.

If they're smart, they'd leave immediately.

I have been amazed for decades at how American Jews constantly vote against their own best interest...but they do it. I guess they aren't familiar with European history.

As a group they are quite intelligent. As a voting block they are idiots.

So after helping the arsonist to burn down our house, a small percentage of them now want us to let them into the new home we are trying to build? Am I right about this? Thanks, but no thanks.

Blacks, Hispanics and Asians saw the light. Why the faith in a failing system by these holdouts?

Why the Jew hate? If this was blacks, Hispanics, Asians, or anyone else you'd be cheering it.
Thanks but no thanks? Are you kidding? Oh right the Jews killed Jesus so we don't want their votes! *eye roll* Grow up.

Many Jews in the United States are of Eastern European origins and they have historically been enamored and advocates of Marxism and Communism and they also have dual loyalties with Israel being their first and primary concern. So leaving the Democratic Party is not an indication that they are changing their core beliefs.

#1 is upset because the pages of his copy of The Protocols of the Elders of Zion are stuck together.
Orthodox Jews, for the most part, left the Dem party long ago. It's taking the rest a little longer to catch up, but now that they're seeing the open antisemitism of the left, they may finally get the hint and leave.

#1 Huh, don't know what synagogue you are referring to, but I've been a member of various Chabad shuls for basically my entire adult life.
At ours, we are taught (and believe) that HaShem, the Name, the G-d of Abraham, Issac, and Jacob, the Creator of the Universe, loves all mankind and that we are all one, all of whose fathers include Adam and Noah, and our job (as Jews) on this planet is to serve Him and mankind, writ large.
Nor do we believe the Jewish people are superior. To the contrary, G-d chose us as His people, not because of merit, but because we were the LEAST of all the Peoples, stiff-necked and difficult, and that our survival and prospering (despite being a rather pathetic bunch) was a demonstration of His ultimate power, as He could take such a useless band of ill-tempered, ill-mannered, ungrateful, semi-nomadic, slaves and use them to change His world.

I have long believed that most Jews in America aren’t really Jewish. Judaism isn’t their religion anymore; it’s liberalism that they worship.

Why do Jews remain demonrats? Because, if one is a JINO, then the left’s antisemitism isn’t an issue. They are liberals first and I doubt that they would refer to themselves as leftists.
My grandfather was a JINO and was a conservative. But he died at the age of 87 in 1976 when the Holocaust was a lot more alive in peoples’ memories.

33% is no red wave. It means that 67% still don’t realize that the Democrat party has become anti-Jewish. But, the majority of Jews will continue to vote for Democrats, because it’s “tradition.”

Like with Blexit, the trend line is not steep enough. By the time enough change over to make a difference, it will be too late. Our country will be lost.

#1 evokes the age-old trope of certain christianesque quarters that Jews were Christ-killers. That shibboleth fails to account for the fact that the people who cried both "Hosanna in the highest!!" when Christ entered Jerusalem on a donkey on Palm Sunday and then "Crucify him!!" in exchange for Barabbas five days later on Good Friday were symbolic of ALL sinners, not just Jews.
To that extent, the statement "They chose Barabbas over Jesus and have been choosing EVIL ever since." is correct so long as the faithful recognize that "They" means "We".
Jews didn't crucify our Savior. Our sins (including vindictiveness, slander, hate for others) did.

As a Jew, my family has never understood why any of them could support the demoncrat party. Everything that party has ever stood for has always been what has suppressed the Jews all over the world.

I would be shocked if they did leave the democrat party. The move is too smart, something they have been running away from for decades.
