JEWISH POLITICAL REALIGNMENT?<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Gaza\u2019s genocidal war against Israel has torn the Democratic Party apart by revealing the anti-Semitic core of its dominant left wing.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/2023\/11\/04\/biden-2024-team-israel-hamas-war-election-dnc\">Axios<\/a>\u00a0headlines: \u201cBiden\u2019s 2024 team roiled by Israel-Hamas war.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Part of President Biden\u2019s political team is in turmoil over the Israel-Hamas war, as some aides see the White House as abetting an immoral attack on Palestinians \u2014 while others believe Biden is showing \u201cmoral clarity\u201d in protecting Israel from terrorists.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">\u2026 The strife within the Democratic National Committee (DNC) \u2014 which Biden is leaning on for his re-election campaign \u2014 reflects larger generational and political divisions among Democrats.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Those divisions are chiefly between older pro-Israel Democrats and younger progressives who are more sympathetic to the plight of Palestinians.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>And are entirely indifferent to mass murder, gang rape and the beheading of infants, where the victims are Jews.<\/p>\n<p>At the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-12707881\/israel-gaza-democrats-alan-dershowitz.html\">Daily Mail<\/a>, Alan Dershowitz writes that the relationship between Jews and the Democratic Party has been profoundly altered:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">The Hamas atrocities of October 7th have forever fractured any political alliance between centrist and liberal Jews and woke, anti-Israel progressives.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">It\u2019s either them or us.\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">The coalition is at civil war.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Following the terrorist massacre of Israeli civilians and even before the military response, young woke progressives turned stridently against the Jewish State.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">It was a knee-jerk reaction stimulated not by what Israel did \u2013 because it had done nothing to justify Hamas\u2019 brutality \u2013 but what Israel is: the nation state of the Jewish people.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Anyone who rallies for Hamas is rallying for the extermination of Jews.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">On Wednesday, Vice President Kamala Harris announced a new \u2018National Strategy to Combat Islamophobia,\u2019 which any sensible American would support.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">But the streets of American cities and college campuses are not being filled with crowds celebrating the murder of Muslims.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">These hordes are calling for the death of Jews \u2013 yet the President cannot muster a full-throated response that focuses on the current problem, namely rampant antisemitism.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">And just last week, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre pointedly declined to say if the President had any plans to speak to the explosion of antisemitism among university students.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>What are Jews who have been loyal to the Democratic Party to do?<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">If something is not done immediately \u2013 if it is not too late already \u2013 the breach between Jewish voters who support Israel (and even those critical of some of its policies) and the Democratic Party will become unhealable.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Maybe \u2013 permanent.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">***<\/span><\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">[S]ince the days of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, a vast majority of Jewish-American voters could be reliably counted upon to cast their ballots for Democrats and contribute disproportionately to their campaigns.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">This is unlikely to continue.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">The silence of some Democrats, President Biden\u2019s administration and America\u2019s foremost liberal institutions in response to an eruption of left-wing anti-Zionism and Jew hatred is gut-wrenching.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">It is nothing short of betrayal and Americans Jews must not move forward without a reckoning.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>But then: where can disaffected Jews go?<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Yes, centrist Jews have an alternative: they can become centrist Republicans. But that, too, will not be easy, since the Republican party is moving to the right on issues deeply concerning to many Jews \u2013 issues such as abortion rights, gay rights, climate control, gun control and the Supreme Court.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Blue collar and rural voters, many of whom were once Democrats, have turned to the conservative movement and the Republican Party. This is partly because they realized that conservative policies are more in their interest than liberal policies, but also, and perhaps equally, because it became evident that liberals despise them. Why should you vote for people who hate you?<\/p>\n<p>That is a question that, in the years to come, many Jews will be called upon to answer.<\/p>\n<p>STEVE adds: The last time a Democratic Administration was so openly hostile to Israel and its interests was the Carter Administration, and Reagan received a surprising 35 percent of the Jewish vote in 1980, helping to tip New York to his column. We\u2019ll see if the current moment leads to another shift next year. (Obama was deeply hostile to Israel, too, but was more clever than Carter and disguised it better.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s great fun to watch the demoncraps fight each other.
