    Very true, but the ultra orthodox tend to lean very Right.

    In NY, the worst numbers of vaccinated areas are predominantly where this demographic congregates. They started a measles outbreak about 3 or 4 years ago.

    Because they're so socially conservative, they vote Republican.

    But this insular community isn't known for being overly educated.

    The straw man is the term virulently, that’s what I’m reacting to. It’s used to deflect.

    For a supposedly anti-Semitic party, it is surprising that year after year, decade after decade, Jewish voters are among the most reliably loyal Democratic voters.

    I’ll offer an example. It was in yesterday’s SF Chronicle. The article was about a diversity, equity and inclusion meeting at Stanford where the hosts were accused of anti-semitism. The complaints were about comments that Jews hide behind their white identity, Jewish ties to white supremacy and the recommendation of a book accusing Israel of racist behavior. Now I don’t know the politics of those involved but if you’re talking about DEI at Stanford they’re probably not right wingers. My point is simply being a liberal or democrat does not mean you can’t be anti Semitic.

    Do you really believe that Palestine is at fault for being invaded ? Please explain your logic.

    Well, the ones that leave America to grab their ' free ' real estate in Palestine certainly are- as are those who fund squatter fascism from the US. If you're talking about the popular faces of Judaism, Mel Brooks, Gene Wilder, Bob Dylan etc, etc then, of course, you're right. Jewish militancy is born of the American-backed power that Izraeli racists wield over their Palestinian captives. They believe that they are safe for all time , granted impunity for being ' Jewish ' and that justice and the rule of law will never catch up with them.

    Of course, there are many brainwashed prosemites who would call me antisemitic because I believe that each and every entry on that list represents a Jewish asshole.

    Not Palestine. Hamas. I believe that Palestinians would come to the table. Hamas will not agree that Israel has a right to exist. On the other side, I don't believe Israelis agree with the continued expansion of settlements, nor the starving of Palestinians and the theft of their resources.

    Why should any representatives 'come to the table' to eat poison or shit? What choice have the zionist nazis given the owners of the country except to fight to the death?

    Polling suggests American Jews are more critical of the sincerity of the Israeli government's peace efforts than are your garden variety Deplorable.

    American Jewish Attitudes Towards Israel

    Nearly six-in-ten American Jews say they personally feel an emotional attachment to Israel,

    But just one-in-three say they think the Israeli government is making a sincere effort toward achieving peace with the Palestinians. (Fewer still, just 12%, say they think Palestinian leaders are sincere in these efforts.)

    Surely Israel should recognize Palestine's right to exist FIRST- in compliance with international law and agreement. It isn't Palestinians who are ethnically-cleansing Israelis , is it.
    Palestine has a right to self defense and to self determination. the United Nations and 139 countries recognize the state of Palestine. It isn't the Palestinians who are in breach of international law and more UN resolutions than every pother country combined.
    Demanding that eggs recognize the omelette is callous and unjust.

    Not me, Scum. It's the Izraelis who are racist- declared an apartheid state by Human Rights Watch.

    Show this to the American Jewish voters who feel an affinity with Izrael's pseudo- Jewish fascists;

    https://www.facebook.com/41452941531...59143194139390


    Warning: vulgar racism.
    This isn’t just a sick protest of Israeli settlers marching on Palestinians in East Jerusalem (which is internationally recognized as stolen land under an illegal occupation). This happened under the full protection of the Israeli state that simultaneously shot and arrested Palestinian protesters who dared even put up a Palestinian flag in front of their homes marked for expulsion.
    This is a sickness that sustains a very real ongoing and expanding system of apartheid. All funded by United States tax payers and protected by the United States government which has blocked any international body from ever holding it accountable. Did the open bigotry displayed in Charlottesville bother you? Why doesn’t this? This too is an ugly form of global white supremacy. And we will not be silenced.

    But those in charge do not adequately represent Palestinians as a whole. They are terrorists fighting terrorists. And the innocents are collateral damage.

    Would you call the defenders of the Warsaw Ghetto ' terrorists ' because they fought the Nazis for their lives with every means at their disposal ?
