~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

American Jews should be in cultural shock. 

 

As a large majority of them have indulged for decades in embracing leftist causes - while slowly distancing themselves from Israel - they are now confronting a new America that hates them with virulence, and pushes them aside. 

 

Their children and grandchildren face daily violence and ostracism in American campuses, because they are Jews. 

 

And yet, progressive American Jews are still in denial, steadfast in their loyalty to Democrat causes and to President Obama, the most anti-Israel US president in history. 

 

Clueless and disconnected

 Jewish Jon Stewart calls Hamas "freedom fighters"  -  The same Hamas that calls for the murder of Jews and the destruction of Israel.  

Judaism itself is the basis of the best of traditional American values.

Jews have contributed in a disproportionate amount to advancements in science, technology, arts, and in the development of the United States.  They have been profoundly patriotic and given their lives for their country during armed conflicts.  

 

Jews have donated to countless institutions that are the cultural infrastructure of the nation. 

But invariably, over the years, they have turned their backs on Judaism and on Israel. 

 

Today nearly 80% of Jews support president Obama and his agenda.  When polled about their priorities, Israel does not even make the first ten items of American Jews' concerns. 

During the Nazi years American Jews endeavored to distance themselves from the plight of European Jews. 

 

Concerned with not jeopardizing their status in America, they did not want to even give the impression of having double loyalties.   So they remained silent.  They did not flood the streets demanding asylum for their European brothers and sisters.  They did not protest the Democrat government of F.D. Roosevelt's systematic denial of visas for Jews persecuted by the Nazis.  

 

Now, as Israel faces another Holocaust at the hands of a nuclear Iran, or its partition and eventual dismantlement "in the name of peace,"  American Jews remain steadfastly loyal to the most anti-Israel US president in history.

 

That is not all.   Many of them have embraced liberal causes that include pro-Palestinian advocacy - oblivious to the anti-Semitic ideology of Islam, and to the genocidal intentions of Palestinian Arabs in particular.  

Three times have the armies of Arab countries ganged up on tiny Israel with genocidal intentions - and yet, at least two thirds of American Jews support the partition of Israel for the creation of a terror Arab state that would mean the end of Israel.

 

Truth Revolt:

American Jews voted 78 percent for Obama in 2008, and 69 percent in 2012.  Why do Jews vote leftist? The answer is simple: the vast majority of Jews don’t care about Judaism or Israel. They care about secular leftism, which is their religion.

So, what does being Jewish mean to most Jews? According to the Pew poll, 73 percent of Jews said it was about remembering the Holocaust. Just 19 percent said it was about observing Jewish law, and only 28 percent said it was about being part of a Jewish community. Jews, in other words, are not religious.  Just 30 percent of Jews say they are very attached to Israel. 

And the emotional gap between American Jews and Israel grows as US Jews assimilate, intermarry, and disappear into the melting pot. 

 

But now a completely unexpected element has been thrown into this picture: 

 

Hating Israel and the Jews
on campus is considered cool.

The children and grandchildren of liberal Jews are being harassed, hated, persecuted, and even assaulted on campus.  Because of being Jews. 

It's not only students that participate in anti-Semitic behavior, but professors as well - many of them imports from Muslim countries.

 

At the same time the media and political organizations raise the level of anti-Semitic rhetoric. 

 

All thanks, in part, to this administration's immigration policies that have encouraged Muslim legal and illegal immigration, along with the president's open endorsement of Islamic causes and ideology, in tandem with his relentless condemnation of Israel.

 

Will Jews ever learn?

 

Jews went through this once before in Russia, when they embraced Communism as a liberating ideology that would free them from everything that had made them the target of pogroms and discrimination. They would be comrades, equal to everyone, valued for their loyalty to the Marxist cause.   But it did not take long for the Russian Communist Party to turn on the Jews as well. 

 

Well, they thought that America would be different.  And it seemed so for a while.  Barriers between Gentiles and Jews began to dissolve.  Jews could live anywhere, even join exclusive Gentile clubs.  They became advisors to the president, Congressmen, presidents of important institutions. 

 

It seemed too good to be true, and it was.

 

Jews no longer welcome or safe in Obama's America. 

 

Gone is even the pretence of civilized academic dialogue. 

It's open war against the Jews on campus.

POLITICALLY CORRECT BRANDEIS UNIVERSITY CANCELS PLAN TO HONOR ANTI-ISLAMIC OPPRESSION ACTIVIST AYAAN HIRSI ALI - University buckled under weight of online petition

By this action Brandeis University dishonors its own founder,  a lawyer regarded as incorruptible, and who went to become a very well regarded Supreme Court Justice.

Louis Dembitz Brandeis was a crusader for social justice and freedom of speech, and he would have been horrified at the sight of academics - who are supposed to be guided by the highest principles of justice and scientific enquiry - betray those principles under the onslaught of an online mob and cancel the award of an honorary degree to Ayaan Hirsi.  Hirsi has been risking her life for many years in order to speak out against Islam's violence and oppression of women.

 

Silence at this decision from women's rights activists is deafening. 

 

To add to Brandeis University's betrayal of academic principles, is the fact that it was founded by a Jewish man - and Jews have suffered and continue to suffer because of Islam's fundamental hatred, oppression, and violence against Jews. 

 

Brandeis University did not have moral objections at associating itself with Al Quds University in Jerusalem, a Palestinian University that is a hotbed of anti-Semitism.  Brandeis University was shamed into suspending that association when they were confronted with photographic evidence of students marching and making the Nazi salute.  It's hard to believe that in the internet age Brandeis academics would be unaware of the Nazi nature of Arab nationalism and of Al Quds' own reputation of virulent anti-Semitism.  

 

Liberal Jews in Israel and in the Diaspora continue to side with the enemy in order to fit in with the liberal class current historical and moral distortion.  They would be horrified to stand up for their principles and be shunned by the same mob that demonizes Israel and turns a blind eye to Islam's oppression of women and minorities.
