Many are saying now that this will finally wake American Jews from their delusional political stupor. I’m not sure anything can do that. A disproportionate number of my long time personal friends are Jewish, and although they may be tut tutting about the “Zoomerwaffen” on campuses, they make no connection with the trajectory of leftism over the last 50 years and would never dream of not voting Democrat.

William F. Buckley, Jr. famously answered “stubbornness” when asked why Jews supported the then only mildly toxic Left. I’ve pondered the question for decades and asked my Jewish friends. They mumble something about the Jewish religion emphasizing compassion and equity. Never mind that not one of them has ever been religious. Never mind that “liberalism” never alleviated poverty, but institutionalized it, and hasn’t delivered jack squat since the Civil Rights Act (which many in their party firmly opposed.) Many of their immigrant parents were actual communists (despite the pogroms.) Many still seem to think Republicans wear plaid trousers and blackball them at country clubs, as if it’s still the 1950s, when in reality only Sheldon Whitehouse would do that today.

As is true with so many blacks, “liberalism” is baked into their cultural identity. For most non-Orthodox Jews it seems to be mostly what’s left of what it means to be “Jewish.” Never mind that liberalism is dead and decomposed in their wretched party. They’ve been fooled. They’ve fooled themselves. And as Mark Twain said, it’s easier to fool someone than to convince them they’ve been fooled. They’ll still pull the lever for this stuff, convinced they’re voting for liberalism and ignoring the fascism that has replaced it. It’s a true wonder. A very sad one.

Jews invented, promoted, & continue to promote liberalism mainly as a survival strategy. It's much easier to survive as a distinct ethno-sectarian minority population in a multicultural society that is made up of myriad "huddled masses," rather than a society with a clear majority that is strong & proud of its identity. The majority they fear the most is a white Christian majority, owing to the history of WWII and the Holocaust.

Nice theory, but in reality Jews fear blacks and muslims most, because that's where the rabid anti-semitism and threats come from.

Why would Jews fear Blacks when blacks have zero political power and Jews have ALL the political power. Do not believe any Jewish person of means when they claim to be afraid of something. It’s always a grift, they’re the ones that control our government, media, and universities. If you didn’t think you live under a Zionist Occupied Government you were disabused of that notion by the passing of our new Blasphemy Law against criticizing Jewish power.

Anecdotally, I have recently had to pick my jaw up off the floor when discovering some very close black friends (not extremist types by any means) seem to be on the anti-Jew train. I dug around a bit and got sent some links that indicate it's the Kanye West thing, along with some other Hollywood types who felt something. But, seriously, people have a bad experience with a few Hollywood execs and are ready to bin an entire ethnicity? I find this truly bizarre considering it is the very thing no one wants to have done to them.

the history of blacks hating jews is very long and pervasive

From the point of view of Blacks, Jews are uber-Whites.

Nice unqualified assertion. Let's look at the historical record. Jews have consistently and actively supported various pro-black and anti-white movements - cf. the founding members & staffers of the NAACP; MLK's speechwriter; the pro-crime DAs put in place by George Soros' Open Society Foundation, itself inspired by the pro-tolerance and anti-majoritarian philosophy of another Jew, Karl Popper. Or regarding Muslims - why have Jewish groups like the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society, or individual Jews like Barabara Spectre, relentlessly promoted the invasion of European societies by Muslim migrants? Overall your assertion falls flat.

The fact of the matter is that, historically speaking, at least, and with a few marginal exceptions, Jews have correctly identified that Negroes and Mohammedans are too stupid, poor, & disorganized to constitute a real threat. What they really, fundamentally fear is the possibility of a truly counter-judaic White majority, owing to their own history.

This is an excellent article - by a liberal Jew, might I add - as to why and how Jews created modern liberalism, "tolerance," and multiculturalism as a way of making American society more amenable to their existence:

If so, that’s a grossly outdated fear. It isn’t Christians hating Jews these days, it’s atheistic, nihilistic leftists. And of course Muslims. In any case the many Jewish friends and acquaintances of mine believe in liberal values and are largely well-intentioned, if (in my view) lazy and uncritical in evaluating whether “liberal” policies actually accomplish any of the goals they purport to support.

We’ve ALL just watched Jewish power be deployed, it’s IMPOSSIBLE to deny JEWISH POWER when BOTH PARTIES have come together to pass a modern BLASPHEMY LAW against anyone who dares question our Jewish political overlords. The idea that we have a Zionist Occupied Government has just been demonstrated that Israel is ultimate decision maker in our society. The people who determine the exemption. Don’t be confused by these campus protests, these Leftists are just the FLAG. The AIPAC Jews are the MATATDOR. Gore the matador, not flag. Don’t be distracted by the idiot college kids, they’re rabble. They do not pose a threat to traditional American values, not when compared to power of the Shumer-McConnell Jewish allied political Axis.

I expect many secular Jews saw the left as providing a bit more cover than the old (as they saw it) WASP elite? Same in Eastern Europe where Communists were seen as more friendly than the Christians. You’d think that the ideologies of the time would have taught us that the religious folk need to stick together.

I've never understood (say since at least the 1980s) why so many American Jews vote Dem and pour tons of money into "progressive causes". Jewish Americans on average are higher income, low crime, they are hurt by affirmative action, hurt by high taxes, etc... What about the Dem platform of "wokeness, open borders, big gov't, high taxes" appeals to them? I would think they would be too smart to believe the left wing propaganda & stereotypes about conservatives. But maybe not. For similar reasons, I've always wondered why more Asian Americans don't vote more conservative.

Expand full comment

I'm not Jewish but my wife and inlaws are, and the best guess/answer I can give is that Jews (but really the Ashkenazim) have a deep, abiding, atavistic, paranoid yet understandable loathing and terror of the goyim.

Arabs and blacks (esp in America) mostly don't exist in their worlds, and if they do they're non-threatening professionals, and if they're more louche anti-Semites (on TV and in the news) they mostly think they'll either never encounter them or be able to outsmart them.

But, even while all mostly being successful and well-off American professionals, they still go on about that mythical golf course that wouldn't allow Jews to join or that mythical 1950s professor who was denied a job for being Jewish.

And then you add how much Republicans/conservatives code as Christian gentiles, and their bad memories of people like Pat Buchanan and the National Review set (along w their memories of Red and/or Roosevelt ancestors) and they can't help themselves, for them voting Republican is like a chicken voting for Colonel Sanders.

Secular American Jews define themselves in opposition to things like faith, flag and family, which will always reek of bigotry to them, and this is not changing anytime soon.

Interesting. As you say, denying people from country clubs and neighborhoods is ancient history. Nobody under 80 would even remember this. Every country in the world has done bad things in the past and goes though an evolution to get better. Sounds like they DO have stereotypes of conservatives. There are a TON of conservatives that just want smaller gov't, balanced budgets, personal responsibility, a merit based country, lower taxes, strong borders, less foreign wars, etc...

I grew up in a liberal Dem family, went to a liberal university, and I was brainwashed into stereotypes of conservatives. I remember viscerally hating conservatives in college and my early 20's. Then I got out on my own, started businesses, read lots of books, and got to know a lot of people on the right and found out all that was mostly total BS. I found conservatives far more rational and clear minded.

BTW, treating something that happened 50 years ago as "ancient history" is a distinctly American trait. I'm not even convinced it's a good one since it tends to make Americans dismiss history.

If you've ever been to a Seder, what you read again and again is the theme of caring for others: the sick, the orphaned, and the poor. You also read that you must care for the stranger "because I was a stranger." This is what God commands.

That's why Jews have voted Democratic for so long. It was FDR and LBJ who gave us the safety nets we all cherish -- Social Security, unemployment, Medicare, and so on, good things all: the things that God commanded.

Through the years, however, they have been perverted and abused. Now we have chaos.

In the attempt to "diversify" our workplaces, to bring strangers into our spheres, to help those who need perhaps only a boost, we have hired for jobs people whose qualifications are dicey and whose world-visions are sometimes pernicious. Why so many Muslims in media (for example) when their numbers do not warrant that sort of representation?

And now because chaos is contagious, the privileged among our young have joined forces with Islamists, Marxists, and BLM alums and are rampaging across college campuses in the same way undereducated, resentful, out-of-control elements rampaged through our cities.

Time to give up understanding them. I think even formerly lefty Jews are now realizing it.

“Care for others” should require actual results from the policies you support. Liberalism has delivered no such thing since the Civil Rights Acts. As far as I’m concerned, there is moral accountability for that, and if you support policies that don’t serve the people you pretend to care about, or make things worse, you’re not caring for others. You’re lazy and self indulgent with your pretensions of caring.

The civil rights acts are why we’re in the pickle we’re in. They were the worst thing to happen in America in the 20th century

I'm 64. I went to college like so much of my generation did. Started out in Political Science (what a joke), shifted to History (a slower developing joke) and finally settled in Archeology which I loved but like everything else in college has just become more anti white, anti American propaganda. Took me ten years to finish my degree because as the 80s wore on college became more and more useless. I then taught high school on and off for 13 years while raising three strawberry blond sons. The strangest part of growing older thru the last 40 years has been watching Catholics, Jews and Republicans embrace all this self hatred. That somehow if you hated the cultures that built western civilization, the first and only civilization that embraced love, justice and talent as the best foundation for a successful culture, then somehow you were acceptable. Instead of being proud of what we've built and living by the Word of God, we have worked to systematically destroy western civilization, especially the US. I was brought up Catholic and Catholics, like Jews have embraced the wild eyed, self destructive, self immolating philosophy of liberalism. It's like some kind of moronic popularity contest where if we hate ourselves enough then all the most unsuccessful, violent, backward cultures on the planet will finally like us. So. I for one, reject popularity. I want a safe, strong, God fearing America for my family and the rest of the world can either learn by example and or themselves to pieces.

As a kind of second job - possibly my alternative to being a WalMart greeter in old age - I started teaching in schools about 6 years ago. At one point I decided after the Covid lockdown to check out the Catholic schools so I interviewed with one and they actually offered me a job I did not take, mainly for geographical reasons.

The interview was funny. I kept expecting someone to ask me if I was married or gay but no one did. I think they were somewhat excited because I had studied philosophy in a Catholic graduate school. (At one point I told them I wasn't Catholic so I would not know how to answer doctrinal questions. And they said that's fine, we often don't either, and we just say "Ask Father Murphy when he comes on Thursday.")

They were proud to tell me a big part of their teaching was on Catholic social justice. I think they assumed that that would be a selling point to me, someone who was a Protestant or secular, possibly gay, definitely single, person. They didn't realize I wasn't exactly the stereotype they thought I was.

On one hand I feel so sorry for these kids. Their only meaning in life is discontent, and their causes not noble. I sometimes wish swift Karma on them, but I am Christian so... that's probably not the best hope to indulge. On the other hand though, they could all use a little dose of reality, the little twerps.

I do not understand, however, the blind spots in people though. If you're a secular Jew how did you not see the trends before Oct.7th?

I wonder the same thing in my home state of Minnesota. It's like the crazy progressive city people are willfully blind to human nature. They brought in all these refugees from Somalia and gave them all the things, and they cannot understand how they are getting taken advantage of left and right and played for fools. (Look up day care scandal, ISIS recruiting hotbed, & leaders of NGOs taking "cash to feed kids" but buy houses with cash) I think it's the Scandanavian in a lot of them... they just cannot fathom the utter lack of good will others possess, or the willingness to deceive. But, hey, they vote Democrat and the Twin Cities somewhat recently built a nice big voting center right in that refugee/immigrant community (which also boasts hundreds of active tuberculosis cases), so it's all good!

Funny. I was adopted through Catholic Charities in the late 60s. So until about two years ago (and via 23&Me), I had no idea that I was part Ashkenazi Jew (though I'm mostly English, Scottish, and Irish).

I know that Mr. Aristotle defines humans as "rational animals", but may I offer an emendation: Man is an irrational animal who, with tremendous effort and a device-free childhood, just might evolve into a rational animal.

And that may have been true 60 years ago. But most self-styled liberals, Jewish or not, have studiously ignored the evolution of the Left and their party away from liberal values to the various permutations of Marxist/nihilist-derived radicalism, and now outright psychosis, just as they’ve studiously ignored that their putatively “progressive “ attestations have produced no progress since the Civil Rights Act, and have actually produced regression. Regression to the default position of humanity: rule by an unaccountable elite, and now regression to tribalism and anarchy., blood feuds and witch burning.

Great post. And probably one that required much courage. Which I know you have in plentitude. I've never understood my Jewish family and friends, plus those I see in the public sphere, who thought they could stir up racial animus against white gentiles, and not have it redound to them. At least 95% of the Jews living in the U.S. are Ashkenazi, which de facto means white. And why they all think that having open boarders and giving their worst enemies in the world, Muslims, in to the country en masse, was a good idea. The Koran very specifically tells its adherents that they are to kill Jews (and also gays and lesbians, btw) where ever they find them.

So, welcome to the club. I would also tell the students and staff not to abandon these schools but to hold fast and fight, if necessary. And never give up. There is no substitute for courage, or victory. There is no alternative but destruction.

In the Maoist revolution I believe they sent literate people, including anyone wearing eyeglasses, to work in the countryside. I have a friend who said she had one relative join the CCP and become a low level party official just to see if he could get his relatives back to their hometown, a larger Cantonese port city. But to no avail; he didn't have the clout to overcome the CCP equity police.
