Black and White Anti-Semites Part 4

 Nadene Goldfoot                                                 

Since Blacks identified with the slaves of the Exodus, one would think they wouldn't become anti-Semitic, but they have.  It's not our religion they mind as much; it's more of our class identification to them;  people having money as the landlord.  

Stokely Carmichael declared, "I have never admired a White man, but the greatest of them, to my mind, was Hitler."  He said this to the New York Times for their April 14, 1970 issue.  Kwame Ture (/ˈkwɑːmeɪ ˈtʊəreɪ/; born Stokely Standiford Churchill Carmichael; June 29, 1941 – November 15, 1998) was a prominent organizer in the civil rights movement in the United States and the global Pan-African movement. Born in Trinidad, he grew up in the United States from the age of 11 and became an activist while attending the Bronx High School of Science. He was a key leader in the development of the Black Power movement, first while leading the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), then at last as the leader of the All-African People's Revolutionary Party (A-APRP)."Honorary Prime Minister" of the Black Panther Party (BPP).

The Black Panther Party, originally the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense, was a Black Power political organization founded by college students Bobby Seale and Huey P. Newton in October 1966 in Oakland, California. 

A New Black Panther Party was formed  in 1989.  Founded in Dallas, the group portrays itself as a militant, modern-day expression of the black power movement. Although it frequently engages in armed protests of alleged police brutality, non-racist, left wing members of the original Black Panther Party of the 1960s and 1970s have rejected the new Panthers as a “black racist hate group” and contested their hijacking of the Panther name and symbol.  This new party became home to many former NATION OF ISLAM members when its chairmanship was taken by Khalid Abdul Muhammad.

                                                

Khalid Muhammad was a black nationalist leader in the United States who became a prominent figure in the Nation of Islam and later the New Black Panther Party. After a racially inflammatory 1993 speech at Kean College, Muhammad was condemned and removed from his position in the Nation of Islam by Louis Farrakhan. 

• "Who are the slumlords in the Black community? The so-called Jews... Who is it sucking our blood in the Black community? A white imposter Arab and a white imposter Jew," he said.  
• • Speech at Columbia University, quoted in Chicago Sun-Times (30 January 1994) "Some like Muhammad's Boldness"
• I say you call yourself Goldstein, Silverstein, and Rubinstein because you're stealing all the gold and silver and rubies all over the earth — and it's true, because of your thieving and stealing and roguing, and lying all over the face of the planet earth.
  • Speech in Baltimore (19 February 1994), quoted in New York Times (28 February 1994) "Islamic Figure In New Tirade Against Jews"
• Tell us you lost 6 million. Historians, scholars, scientists, they went to some of the death camps. It wasn't 6 million, it wasn't 5 million, it wasn't 4 million, it wasn't even 3 million. Some of them say we'd be hard-pressed to get 1 1/2 million. Reports on the 6 million Jews murdered by the Nazis were bloated, exaggerated, probably fabricated.

The Anti-Defamation League and the Southern Poverty Law Center list the New Black Panthers as a black separatist hate group. The Huey Newton Foundation, former chairman and co-founder Bobby Seale, and members of the original Black Panther Party have insisted that this New Black Panther Party is illegitimate and they have strongly objected to it, stating that there "is no new Black Panther Party".                

Louis Farrakhan Louis Farrakhan Sr., formerly known as Louis X, is an American religious leader and political activist who heads the Nation of Islam. Earlier in his career, he served as the minister of mosques in Boston and Harlem and was appointed National Representative of the Nation of Islam by former NOI leader Elijah Muhammad. A quote of his is:  "The Jews don't like Farrakhan, so they call me Hitler. Well, that's a good name. Hitler was a very great man."  In 2008, Farrakhan publicly criticized the United States and supported then-Senator Barack Obama who was campaigning at the time to become the president of the United States of America. Farrakhan and Obama had met at least once before that time, but Obama rejected his help and support. 

Farrakhan has been quoted with so many anti-Semitic statements that I can't possibly get them all here, but many are listed from my source, wikipedia.  

 In June 1984, after returning from a visit to Libya, Farrakhan delivered a sermon that was recorded by a Chicago Sun-Times reporter. A transcript from part of the sermon was published in The New York Times:

Toward the end of that portion of his speech that was recorded, Mr. Farrakhan said: "Now that nation called Israel never has had any peace in 40 years and she will never have any peace because there can be no peace structured on injustice, thievery, lying and deceit and using the name of God to shield your dirty religion under His holy and righteous name.

Farrakhan has repeatedly denied referring to Judaism as a "gutter religion" by explaining that he was instead referring to what he believed was the Israeli Government's use of Judaism as a political tool. In a June 18, 1997, letter to a former Wall Street Journal editor Jude Wanniski he stated:

Countless times over the years I have explained that I never referred to Judaism as a gutter religion, but, clearly referred to the machinations of those who hide behind the shield of Judaism while using unjust political means to achieve their objectives. This was distilled in the New York tabloids and other media saying, 'Farrakhan calls Judaism a gutter religion.'

As a Muslim, I revere Abraham, Moses, and all the Prophets whom Allah (God) sent to the children of Israel. I believe in the scriptures brought by these Prophets and the Laws of Allah (God) as expressed in the Torah. I would never refer to the Revealed Word of Allah (God)—the basis of Jewish Faith—as 'dirty' or 'gutter.' You know, Jude, as well as I, that the Revealed Word of Allah (God) comes as a Message from Allah (God) to purify us from our evil that has divided us and caused us to fall into the gutter.

"And don't you forget, when it's God who puts you in the ovens, it's forever!" He has also claimed that German Jews financed the Holocaust in a speech at the Mosque Maryam, Chicago in March 1995: "German Jews financed Hitler right here in America...International bankers financed Hitler and poor Jews died while big Jews were at the root of what you call the Holocaust". Almost three years later at a Saviors' Day gathering in the same city, he said: "The Jews have been so bad at politics they lost half their population in the Holocaust. They thought they could trust in Hitler, and they helped him get the Third Reich on the road."

Now we have  young white parties  growing who are also anti-Semitic, such as the PROUD BOYS. Most likely they are made up of the least proud of the white population, having to tell themselves they are proud, being they hate everyone that is not like them.  

Anti-Semitism is not core to the group’s ideology, but according to the Anti-Defamation League, the group has allied with white supremacists, and Gavin McInnes, the leader,  has made a series of anti-Semitic statements. The ADL estimates that it has several hundred members, but other articles mention a thousand.   A former member of the Proud Boys, Jason Kessler, was the primary organizer of the 2017 white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, which Joe Biden again criticized for its anti- Semitism during the debate. Chapters of the Proud Boys have marched with neo-Nazis on other occasions as well.  Violence is at the core of their ideology and their primary tool for silencing their political foes.

Out of the Proud Boys is growing another group, even more anti-Semitic.

“We will confront the Zionist criminals who wish to destroy our civilization,” Kyle Chapman, of the Proud Boys,  wrote after using a lot of bigoted language. “We recognize that the West was built by the White Race alone and we owe nothing to any other race.  ”Chapman also wrote that he has renamed the group the Proud Goys, referring to the Jewish term for non-Jews that neo-Nazis have tried to appropriate and use to symbolize their anti-Semitism.

 The uptick in partisan violence and anti-Jewish rhetoric these days seems to come  from the left and the right.  This is not to ignore the actions of neo-Nazis, Klansmen, or  right-wing extremists. Anti-Semitism has never been worse today and has been compared to the late 1930's anti-Semitism.  

The Alt-right are also not instigating much of the conflict marring town squares and college campuses today as they did when Trump first came into office.   No, this is most often the work of progressive activists and groups, like the Antifa movement, who engage in confrontation and seek to suppress speech.  And the epidemic of campus anti-Semitism is largely attributable to liberal BDS advocates, leftist faculty stooges, and Islamists – not neo-Nazis or white supremacists, who unlike progressives don’t have a symbiotic relationship with American academia. 

Torch-bearing white supremacists and neo-Nazis marching in Charlottesville, VA in August 2017 shocked many with their chants of “blood and soil” and “Jews will not replace us.” Days later, white nationalist Richard Spencer was interviewed on Israeli TV about the role of the so-called “alt-right” in Charlottesville rally that turned deadly.

The demonstration was suffused with anti-black racism, but also with anti-Semitism. Marchers displayed swastikas on banners and shouted slogans like “blood and soil,” a phrase drawn from Nazi ideology. “This city is run by Jewish communists and criminal niggers,” one demonstrator told Vice News’ Elspeth Reeve during their march. As Jews prayed at a local synagogue, Congregation Beth Israel, men dressed in fatigues carrying semi-automatic rifles stood across the street, according to the temple’s president. Nazi websites posted a call to burn their building. As a precautionary measure, congregants had removed their Torah scrolls and exited through the back of the building when they were done praying.

Anti-Semitism has been going on from both the left and the right of our country, it's only that some people have just not been aware of it.  The methods have often been insidious. Which party you voted in is not the source of the anti-Semitism, as it's carried by both.  

Anti-Semitism is also about Israel.  To slander Israel is also slandering Jews, as it is a Jewish nation, created as a haven for Jews which is almost 80% Jewish populated.  It can't be covered by saying it's Israel that we want to get rid of only.

Who's Riding on the Coat Tails of Antifa? Anti-Semites In Denial As the Good Guys

Nadene Goldfoot
                                                       

Antifa Rally
Throughout 2017 a group known as Antifa has engaged in riots and violent protests at events across the country.

One hears of Antifa occasionally on TV.  What is it?  Who is it?  What do they stand for?  You can spot them as they wear the color, black.  The color unites them; they are not there from a call on their phone under a leader.  They come into the group as a group of special friends.  Then these various groups are one-that is like a mob.  
Antifa is an anti-fascist political protest movement in the United States comprising a diverse array of autonomous groups that aim to achieve their objectives through the use of both non-violent and violent direct action rather than through policy reform. 

We are a country based on settling issues through policy reform. Therefore, what are they doing?  It's Democratic.  This is a nation built on the Democratic ideal and not on mob rebellion  

What are fascists?  Fascism  is a form of far-right, authoritarian ultranationalism characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition, as well as strong regimentation of society and of the economy which came to prominence in early 20th-century Europe.  The Italian government was fascist with Mussolini. So was Germany.

Their aim is to create a mobilized national community.” This definition of fascism helps to explain why Antifa—as professed “anti-fascists”—have been particularly focused on clashing with white nationalist groups, such as the alt-right, the KKK, and neo-Nazis.

 They are made up of a lot of bigots. What is bigotry? Intolerance toward those who hold different opinions from oneself.  

The  term, ANTIFA, originally was an abbreviation for Antifaschistiske Aktion, a German communist movement from the 1930s. The movement is modeled on militant leftists who  brawled with fascists in Germany, Italy, and Spain in the 1920s and 1930s. The groups—and the name—were revived in the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s, when anti-racists within the punk rock subculture in Britain and Germany mobilized to defeat neo-Nazi skinheads infiltrating the music scene. “Via punk, groups calling themselves anti-racist action—and later, anti-fascist action or antifa—sprung up in the United States,” says Peter Beinart (Peter Alexander Beinart is an American columnist, journalist, and liberal political commentator. A former editor of The New Republic, he has written for Time, The New York Times, The New York Review of Books among other periodicals, and is the author of three books)

In 2016, the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security said that Antifa's activities were "domestic terrorism".  President Obama did not act on this observation or their conclusions.  
                                                     

Hundreds of protesters gathered at the Justice Center on the 4th of July to protest systemic racism and police violence. Protesters cooked, danced, burned American flags and set off fireworks before Portland Police and federal law enforcement used tear gas and impact munitions to disperse the crowd.

Is that why Portland, Oregon has seen for the past 6 weeks, every night, tons of people marching through the city to the downtown area and demonstrating, turning to violence and destruction against the businesses there at nightfall?  Among this group of possible naive people enjoying themselves or thinking they are bringing on a better environment for all, are people with Antifa, up to creating havoc to bring on their standards.  “There’s a very big difference between protests and the kind of mayhem that we’ve seen every night,”  Police Chief Chris Davis said.  They are not using tear  gas unless a level of damage is reached, and that seems to be reached around 11pm. from what I've seen on TV.   
                                                 

Federal law enforcement officers, along with PPB, dispersed hundreds of protesters from the Justice Center and federal courthouse on the 4th of July during protests against systemic racism and police violence.

  And what are their standards in life?  Me-thinks that it includes some  anti-Semitism.  With people who haven't had to live with anti-Semitism, they never see it happening, but people like me can.  We notice it happening.  For me it was comments at high school in the cafeteria sitting with "friends."  
                                                 

     
We have noticed the anti-Israel sloganeering seen at rallies, the calls of many supporters to "Occupy AIPAC," and the promotion by many of anti-Jewish conspiracy theories.  We see many embracing the  OWS.  The OWS means:  Occupy Wall Street. AIPAC stands for The American Israel Public Affairs Committee,  a lobbying group that advocates pro-Israel policies to the Congress and Executive Branch of the United States.  I'm a proud member of AIPAC.    
                                                      

                                             

"Occupy Portland was a collaboration that began on October 6, 2011 in downtown Portland, Oregon as a protest and demonstration against economic inequality worldwide. It is inspired by the Occupy Wall Street movement that began in New York City on September 17, 2011."  But for 6 weeks?  Every night?

Antifa includes people from the extreme left of political leanings as well as the middle line of left.  The extreme group is made up of people hostile to Israel and Jews all over who practice traditional Judaism.  That's the kind who are attracted to such a group, giving them a chance to vent their hatred.  
                 

A big anti-Semitic activity we see now is BDS (Boycott, Development and Sanctions).  This is all aimed at Israel and Jews all over in particular.  It is a group action to put an end to jobs that help Israel in any way, stopping businesses who sell to Israel, such as Caterpillar Tractors, putting sanctions on such people if necessary, developing any aid to Israel.  The aim of it all is to back the Palestinians who want to take over all of Israel and have their Palestine, for that would be the outcome of it all.  It was originated by just such a person.  
                                                 

Anti-Semitic activities have been happening in a large way on the campuses of universities and colleges for several years, and they are happening because of the doings of liberal BDS advocates, who can involve and add to their assistance, the  leftist faculty stooges, and Islamists.  It has not been the Neo-Nazis or the white supremacists groups.  They're not connected to the academics of campus life like the leftists, who probably are the professors as such places in the first place.  

Now we're getting down to the naive ones; the progressive Jews, the ones on the Left, which might be 50-80% of the 6,000,000 Jews of the USA, for Jews traditionally have belonged to the Democrats, thinking of the assistance they received from Theodore Roosevelt during WWII.  Many of them feel this way as well about their own religion, changing over the years from their immigrant grandparents.  This generation is now complicit with non-traditional marriage, single-payer healthcare-not wanting to lose their Obamacare program.  They also are the ones advocating for the Palestinians over the Israeli Jews; go figure!  Why?  They are always for the underdog, the position we Jews have been in, and so despite the side they were born in, root for them, no matter what they have done, no matter what who deserve; just the underdog.  Isn't that what Americans do in their basketball and football games?  The thrill of seeing the underdog win is the thrill of it all.
                                                   The Liberal Jew even makes the claim that their agenda is a Jewish one, and true, our Jewish values are to make the world a better one-accomplished by doing mitzvot, for one (good deeds).  Then they seem to imply that any deviation from their stand of being Democrats or even part of Antifa raises the specter of anti-Semitism.  
                                                      

However, we turn around and see these Antifa people, these extremists, burning an  Israeli flag outside the 2016 Democratic National Convention without anyone stopping them from Antifa or any leftist group.  This isn't okay.  

American Jews  have lived in Israel, and I myself have dual citizenship. I lived there from 1980 to Thanksgiving 1985.   How do you think we feel?  Jews from Israel are living in the USA  How do you think they feel when they see such an action?  A Yiddish curse always comes to my mind at such a time:  "May all your teeth fall out except just one, and in that may you have a giant toothache!" You know, with all this using of drugs, it could happen to many!  I notice their lack of teeth. They seem to also lack Saykhl.   
                                              

People who are against Zionists (people who are for  creating Israel), and say that Jews are evil and the cause of all their woes often turn out to be the leaders of progressive political groups.   Antifa's movement, though seemingly without leadership, claims to oppose all forms of bigotry, including anti-Semitism when they have been the biggest activists of it all!  It's like the days of the Occupy Wall Street Movement when they were anti-Semites in action, too.  It took place from  September 17 to November 15, 2011.
Liberal Jews have not lifted a finger or their lips  to speak out to their peers for promoting global Jewish conspiracy myths or seeking alignment with Islamists dedicated to destroying Israel and exterminating the Jews.  Nor do we hear from them to defend Israel.  No, but we sure do hear our fellow Jews speaking out against them, and I find that one reason why is their lack of knowledge about today's events as well as our past history.  Our educational system is left in the hands of the TV set, exclusively, or in the minds of such Jews as Noam Chomsky, the linguist turned commentator.  
                                                                                  

"Likewise, they should condemn BDS and acknowledge that a majority of their party has indeed abandoned Israel".  A child said to me years ago, "Oh, don't worry about it.  It's nothing. It means nothing."  This nothing has developed into a something, like a missile sitting in Syria aimed at Israel is a nothing.  It has brought out hatred of Jews, if anything.  

"When Trump condemned anti-Semitism in the wake of cemetery desecrations a few months ago, he did not falsely equate it with Islamophobia as Obama’s minions were wont to do.  Nor has he ever treated Israel as shabbily as Obama did so blatantly for eight years."   On Obama's last day in office, he did something daring- he did not enter a UN election vote for Israel.  He dared to show his real colors; his vote was not for Israel.   He's been the president hardest on Israel that we've had, and Trump has been the best.  That's the difference between these two.  
                                                  

Alt Right Demonstrators in Virginia
Everyone seems to be some sort of demonstrator.
Is this some sort of psychological herd instinct? David Austin French, an American attorney, political commentator, and author; A fellow at the National Review Institute and a staff writer for National Review from 2015 to 2019,  answers with: 

“The alt-right is a combination of ideology and tactics,” David French said Friday at the Aspen Ideas Festival, co-hosted by the Aspen Institute and The Atlantic. “Ideologically, the alt-right is white nationalist. It is post-constitutionalist. And it is often quite pagan … Nobody knows how big it is … if it numbers in the thousands or the tens of thousands … It’s not a huge number of people.”

'If mainstream liberals are honestly concerned about rising bigotry and threats to free speech, they shouldn’t reflexively lay all blame on Trump and the Alt-right, (and the Alt-right could also be anti-Semites because they may think we're not purely white). They should instead acknowledge the left’s complicity – from its long history of anti-Semitism to its current assault on dialogue and dissent – and their own role in enabling both.  And they should pledge to do better."

I had a thought.  To be Jewish happens to be a religious belief and our people come in all colors.  We're not ALL Ashkenazis.  We're also Sephardis and Mizrachis.  We don't care about color-only how good they follow our precepts, our 10 commandments if not all 613 ones.  Our belief system includes reform (left) conservative (middle ground) and Orthodox (all 613 commandments).  Color may be a preference but not an exclusion.  We are a unique group who more than not have family ties, even if we are unaware of it as DNA is showing us, and why the Tanakh/ Bible mentions our family ties.  We're a family and a religion and we welcome others in our midst.  It was the Christians who put a stop to that when they first organized, so it's usually through intermarriage that it happens.  I just wanted any of my Jewish family and friends to see this and understand our background.  

With the group, Black Lives Matter, please don't include anti-Semitism in your  deserved frustration and anger.  To a Jew, any Jew, left or right, all life matters-even a cow who should not be a witness to her calf being killed for meat after she has been milked.  Oy vey!  Did any group mention the Socialists?  

I spoke too soon.  After checking, I found this disappointing information,

"As its charter makes clear, Black Lives Matter itself is structurally anti-Semitic. It accuses Israel of being an "apartheid state" and believes US military aid to Israel is the foundation of America's problems." "Over the Shavuot festival on May 30, members of Black Lives Matter, (BLM) carried out a pogrom in Fairfax, the oldest Jewish community in Los Angeles, largely populated today by ultra-Orthodox Jews. They vandalized five synagogues and three Jewish schools. Most of the Jewish businesses on Fairfax Avenue were looted. "  A controversy over anti-Israel statements in the Movement for Black Lives political platform shows the long history of tension between Jews and blacks in the U.S.  While many Jewish leaders disagree with this framing of history and the current situation on the ground in Israel and Palestine, what seems to matter to them almost as much is being singled out. While the platform names a number of nations, claiming they’ve been victimized by the United States’ colonial-style foreign policy, it condemns only one foreign government: Israel.

When London's Columnist Goes From Left to Right: Melanie Phillips

Nadene Goldfoot                                                                  

"Melanie Phillips is a British journalist, author, and public commentator. She started on the left of the political spectrum, writing for The Guardian and New Statesman.  Melanie, born June 4, 1951, is married to "Joshua Rufus Rozenberg QC, a British legal commentator and journalist. He was educated at Latymer Upper School in Hammersmith and Wadham College, University of Oxford, where he took a law degree".

Melanie Phillips has moved from the left to the right in London, of all places.  What has soured her on her outlook of life to change so?  She's a spokesperson that I hadn't heard of here in the USA, but she and I  are on pretty much the same pages. 

She wrote an article called "Jews Misread America's Cultural Civil War" and point out that this is not only an "immensely dangerous moment for the west," but also for Israel and the Jewish people.  
                                                    

That's where we agree.  I see my own people tearing Trump apart in their disagreement that he was elected by the laws of our country fairly to be president because he not only was from the Republican side, but that he did not present their own Democratic ideals.  The direction that they were going into was the opposite direction that Trump was going and he wasn't using the same tactics they were at all.  For instance, he didn't spend half the money they did in running their campaign.   He expressed himself sometimes in unbecoming ways.  Pundits today are calling him insane and asking speakers if it isn't time to throw him out of office.  
She wrote, "At Charlottesville, the former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke ranted in deranged fashion about alleged Jewish power over the media and banking system and about the ”Zionist ethno-state of Israel”. But this vile outpouring is indistinguishable from the anti-Semitic tropes spewed out by “antifa” groups, of the kind that clashed at Charlottesville, and beyond them the left in general and beyond then too; indeed the trope of Jewish power controlling the world was institutionalized by Mearsheimer and Walt in their book The Israel Lobby, and yet they (Mearsheimer and Walt)  remain esteemed and even lionized in academia."  The sad truth is that when the academia accept such ideas made up of lies, too many Democrats and Republicans and Independents buy into it, and are hooked by thinking that the academia must know best because they are academia, people who must be able to reason the best, and they don't check facts for themselves because they think they are just too busy or it's unnecessary.
                                            

Columnists  here in the USA and elsewhere have been just as guilty if not more so.  There is one thought coming out of of Democrats ever since Trump was elected, and that's to get Trump ousted.  There's so much peer pressure that few are able to stand alone and face the mob with differing facts.  I'm surprised that such a lady as Melanie Phillips has done so.  She, as I also do, see greater fears than Trump in our lives.  It's like crying over crumbs dropped on the kitchen floor when the Walking Dead are clawing at the door ready to break it down.  

                                                           
She wrote, "Black Lives Matter, a core antifa group which was at Charlottesville, is said by Alan Dershowitz to have “declared war against the nation state of the Jewish people”. Isn’t the support for BLM by so many American Jewish liberals the thing that’s really beyond belief?"  It's like:  here we go again with the Blacks being against the Jews-the apartment owners and the tenants' fight of New York, basically that caused friction between the two people long ago.  Just like other groups in our history, everything that bothers people becomes the fault of the Jews.   Forget the facts that Jews were the first to step in and come to the Blacks' aid in their time of crisis in the 60's and some even died with them.

As neo-Nazis grow bolder, the ‘antifa’ has emerged to fight them."

                                                       

                                          

Indeed, the antifa arrived at Charlottesville equipped for violence with baseball bats and sticks."  Nobody on the left has admitted this important fact.  That's why Trump didn't come right out and call them like the Democrats were.  He said he was checking on the facts, and obviously he did.  As it turned out, this is the way the antifa is reacting these days.  Gone are the ideas of passive resistance of Martin Luther King with this group.

Here in the USA, Jewish Democrats made up a good 80 % of the Jewish population, but it fell to about 70% in 2012.   22% of the Jews in the USA are Orthodox, tending to vote Republican.  33% are Conservative and 38% are Reform, both usually voting Democrat.  

 "In the 2008 presidential election, 78% of Jews voted for Barack Obama, who became the first African-American to be elected president. Polls indicate during this election, 83% of "white" Jews voted for Obama compared to just 34% of white Protestants and 47% of white Catholics, though 67% of those identifying with another religion and 71% identifying with no religion also voted Obama.

 In the 2012 presidential election, 68% of Jews voted for Barack Obama.  

It's been a long standing opinion to vote Democratic since the days of Franklin Delano Roosevelt when they remembered the Jews who were trapped in Europe and unable to get out to freedom away from the Nazis.  I see the Democrats have changed from their original standards, but evidently many of my brethren haven't noticed.   Melanie is pointing  this out to them. 

 Times have changed and so have the Democrats.  They're no longer the support the Jews have needed in an anti-Semitic society.  They've become that society.  They've gone from Democratic values to Socialistic ones and others I can't even categorize.  That's how we see it.  We notice the differences that have developed.
