In Brief: Why Would Anyone Jewish Still Vote Democrat?

After witnessing the abominable reactions of your fellow leftists to the biggest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust, have you seen enough?

We’ve always known that Democrat thrive on carving up demographic groups, telling narratives of grievances, and then counting on votes from that group. When it comes to Jews, Christopher Skeet says it’s time for a change.

To American Jews who have continuously attached themselves to whatever the leftist cause du jour happens to be, humor me on this. After witnessing the abominable reactions of your fellow leftists to the biggest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust, have you seen enough? As both Hamas leaders abroad and secular leftists at Harvard blamed you for the campaign of genocide being waged against you, are you finally convinced? As your supposed allies in Black Lives Matter valorized your murderers, are you still deluded?

As Jewish temples, Jewish schools, and Jewish civilians are being targeted across the world in places far, far away from Israel, will you remain obstinate? As that porcine quartet of the Squad refuses to condemn the slaughter of Jewish babies, will you continue to excuse away these “excesses” in exchange for whatever greater political good you think they represent?

We expect attacks like 10/7 from Islamic supremacist groups like Hamas. They are trained attack animals, and that’s how trained attack animals behave. But if you took medieval Islamic dogma and secular leftist dogma and switched the words “Islam” and “Marx” in their incoherent diatribes, their attitudes towards Jews are identical. And if the reaction these past two weeks from self-described progressives hasn’t convinced liberal Jews of this, I’m not sure what will.

Skeet delves into the different branches of Judaism and why each group generally views the world and politics differently. He grants that those are not neat lines, any more than the lines are clear among Christians. But he also argues that the hatred of Jews doesn’t distinguish between those branches, either. The terrorists, he says, “want to kill all of you, and your progressive friends are all too happy to march alongside and let it happen.”

Sure, Skeet says, there are prominent Democrats who from time to time voice support for Israel. But among Democrats generally, support for the Palestinians has more than double in the last two decades, and younger voters skew even harder that direction. Despite all Donald Trump did for Judaism worldwide, he notes, Jews rewarded him “by supporting Joe Biden with roughly 70% of their votes.”

Are there some conservatives who are anti-Semitic? Unfortunately, yes. And whenever one of these losers does rear his incel head out of his mom’s basement, every Republican from coast to coast immediately and publicly denounces him. How many Democrats have denounced Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), and Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.)? Do you think the voters will punish them, or do you think they’ll be reelected handily?

Skeet concludes:

To liberal Jews who buy into the whole poverty-breeds-terrorism schtick, let me ask you this. If impoverished white Germans in the 1930s were doing the exact same thing as brown Muslims are doing today, would you be so quick to rationalize and excuse their atrocities? Would you demand we supply water, fuel, and electricity to German cities while they kill you en masse? Would you watch videos of Klan rallies in the 1960s and think, “It’s easy to demonize them as The Other, but we really need to understand where they’re coming from. We need to acknowledge our privilege and the consequences of a century of Yankee occupation”?

Liberal Jews need to take a serious look in the mirror, wake the hell up, and realize who their friends are. With whom can you peacefully coexist: a conservative Christian who disagrees with you about partial-birth abortion or a pro-choice radical who openly cheers the murder of your people? A Republican gun owner who would never think to shoot you or a leftist gun control nut who has no problem with Hamas shooting you? Conservatives who homeschool their kids or professors who indoctrinate class after class with historically revisionist antisemitic smut? Liberal Jews might civilly disagree with conservatives on a host of issues, but at least they can do so without being denied their very right to exist.
