At the heart of today’s GOP Jewish problem is Trump himself. He has a long history of trafficking in antisemitic tropes, comments, dual loyalty accusations, and dog whistles for his followers.
ed note–As always, lots of important protocols that every Gentile with a vested interest in his/her own future survival needs to know about this.
Firsto, we’ll start off today’s important discussion with a lil’ pictographical digression–
And–
The first headline appeared in early 2002, just 5 months after Israel’s terrorist attacks taking place on 9/11, and the second headline appeared in early 2007, after Iraq had been destroyed and the war was revealed for not being the ‘cakewalk’ that the mass murderer George W. Bush predicted it would be.
2 opposing headlines separated by a few year’s time, each painting a completely different picture.
Now, anyone who was alive at that time and who remembers all the ‘jrama’ surrounding it, meaning the various characters involved and the gospel of war they were pushing down the throats of America, will recall the manner in which the Jews as a group were furiously, fervently WHOLE HOG in favor of going to war in the Middle East, and God help anyone who stood in opposition to this war that they wanted and demanded.
And then, a few years later, after they got (mostly) what they wanted, they backed out of the spotlight/limelight and left the Gentiles there holding the bag when ‘blame game’ time began, wherein it became a ‘conservative’ thing rather than a ‘Neo-Conservative’ thing.
A classic case of ‘how they do it’…
They bring the bomb, light the fuse, hand it to one of the shabbos goyim they brought along with them, and then, right before it goes off, they walk away so that when the arrests and indictments get handed down, they get off scott-free.
Now, as it all applies to the OpEd below–
Anyone who was paying attention in those turbulent days following DJT’s announcement in 2016 that he was seeking the office of POTUS will recall the tsunami of constant screeching hailing from within the most powerful Jewish group in America that in many ways was even LOUDER than the screeching that took place after 9/11 calling for war in the Middle East. Encompassing the left, the right, and everything in between, Judea for the most part screeched with ONE VOICE–in the same manner as took place in demanding/commanding the destruction of Saddam Hussein–that Trump was the ‘new Hitler’ and that he had to be assassinated, either politically or literally, in some cases, to wit–
Now, at issue at that time was not all the ‘background scenery’ which organized Jewish groups threw out there for public consumption such as ‘racism’, immigration, the 2nd Amendment, abortion, etc, etc, etc, but rather that DJT dared to wade into the very same foreign policy waters that had destroyed previous presidencies, namely resolving the ‘Palestinian Question’ by preventing the Jews from gobbling up every square inch of land in the Middle East that have viewed as theirs since the penniless nomad ‘Abram’ started hearing voices in his head ‘promising’ to him and his tribe everything between the Nile and Euphrates rivers.
And now, ladies and Gentile-men, the same organized Jewish forces that caused so much mayhem in America during those turbulent 4 years of Trump’s presidency that was brought down by a lab-concocted virus cooked up in Israel and a stolen election have even more reason to oppose him returning to the White House–his planned revenge against Netanyahu who he knows was the principle organizer of the campaign to see him ousted from power–
Therefore, ladies and Gentile-men, in the coming days, weeks and months prior to the election, pay little to no mind of the ‘sweet nothings’ whispered into your ears from snakes such as these–
–and others from within the Sin-a-Gog of Satan professing their love for Trump in the same way that Judas professed his ‘love’ of Jesus by kissing Him before He was betrayed, but rather, pay close attention to the past when the Jews showed their TRUE COLORS when they acted as one unit in destroying the one man who had the means necessary in caging this monster known as Judea Resurrecta before it sets the entire world on fire.

For as long as I’ve been around Washington and pro-Israel politics (over 50 years) Republicans have been predicting a mass exodus of Jewish voters from the Democratic Party to theirs. The talk is even louder this year in the wake of the war in Gaza.
Jews are mad at President Joe Biden and ready to desert him, according to the Republican narrative, for holding back the delivery of 2,000-pound bombs in an effort to pressure the Netanyahu government to call off a massive assault on Rafah, where the Hamas leadership is believed hiding in tunnels and surrounded by Israeli hostages. Republicans are hoping anti-Israel and pro-Palestinian demonstrations by leftists will help drive Jews to vote Republican.
I’m reminded of a sign I see on the Belt Parkway every time I leave Brooklyn–‘Fuhgeddaboudit.’
It isn’t going to happen for several good reasons, including the Republican policy agenda, Israel, Jewish priorities, and Donald Trump himself.
That doesn’t mean Democrats aren’t worried about this year’s elections. Biden is under pressure from progressives in his party to get tougher on Israel and from others complaining that he’s too tough. He faces problems among core Democratic voters like Blacks, Muslims, and progressives because of the ongoing war.
Political observers say the greatest threat to Biden’s reelection is not that most of those will vote for Trump but that voters will just stay home on November 5, which is almost as bad.
Republicans hope their message of love and support for Israel, particularly its right-wing government, will appeal to Jewish voters at a time when Democrats are divided, with many progressives harshly critical of Israel’s conduct in the war. A group of 13 Senate Democrats, including two Jews, are demanding restrictions on military aid to Israel.
But several other factors will likely prevent any significant shift to the GOP. Years of polling have shown Israel is not high on the policy agenda for Jewish voters. Instead, key domestic issues drive Jewish voting, and on these the Republican Party is rapidly moving even further from the Jewish mainstream.
Most Jewish voters strongly oppose the Republican approach on issues like health care, social security and Medicare, education, the economy, church-state separation, guns, abortion, LGBTQ+ rights, racism, foreign policy, and immigration. And on nearly all of those, the differences are so stark as to be determinative.
IT IS STILL unclear what impact the Gaza war will have on American voters. Immediately following October 7, there was a tidal wave of support for Israel, but after seven months of war, thousands of civilian Palestinian casualties, including women and children, and a humanitarian crisis, the sympathy has shrunken.
The war in all its gory detail plays out daily in the media. This week a group of Israeli settlers attacked and vandalized a Jordanian convoy of 98 trucks carrying food and relief supplies to Gaza for the third time this month.
The war has deeply divided Israel itself and strained relations with allies, from America to Europe to its new friends in the Arab world. Rebuilding that, like rebuilding Gaza, will be long, difficult, and painful.
Another factor keeping Jews who traditionally vote Democratic from making the exodus is the GOP’s Chaos Caucus. The House Republican conference is dominated by extreme conservatives whose aversion to compromise has rendered this Congress unable to legislate.
They’ve been consumed with trying to impeach Biden but have been unable to find any high crimes and misdemeanors to charge him with. Their latest is to impeach him for withholding large bombs from Israel. It’s really about avenging Trump’s impeachments for blackmailing the president of Ukraine and sparking an insurrection.
Immigration is a top Republican issue. When the Senate produced a strong bipartisan border security proposal, Trump ordered it shelved because he wanted to use the failure to enact such legislation as a campaign issue against Democrats. Instead, they impeached Homeland Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, a Jewish immigrant himself and child of Holocaust survivors, to punish the Biden administration for not meeting their border security demands. The move died in the Senate.
At the heart of this issue is the Great Replacement Theory, the racist and xenophobic view that immigration brings ‘others’ – like Jews, Latinos, and Blacks – to replace Euro-heritage stock, register them to vote, and thus take over their white Christian country.
That was the message neo-Nazi demonstrators were chanting at Charlottesville – ‘Jews will not replace us’ – and whom Trump called ‘fine people.’
This is the same former president who hosted Hitler fanboys Kanye West and Nick Fuentes, a notorious white supremacist and Holocaust denier, at his Florida home and then accused the Democratic Party of being ‘a full-blown anti-Israel, antisemitic, pro-terrorist cabal.’
The GOP consistently attracts about a quarter of Jewish voters, most of whom are Orthodox or political conservatives who prefer the low tax, small government, laissez-faire approach to business regulation. Its prime voter base is white evangelical Christians.
Trump likes to boast about all he’s done for Israel, and he questions Jewish loyalty for not showing appreciation by voting for him, but the reality is he did it to please white evangelical Christians. They are about 30% of all voters and vote overwhelmingly Republican. By comparison, Jews are about 2% of the population, although they vote in higher percentages than any ethnic group.
Republicans lately have been enthusiastic about condemning antisemitism, which they see as driven by leftists and students, but they’re ‘declining to condemn and punish’ it within their own party, preferring to argue it’s a Democratic problem, according to Roll Call.
At the heart of today’s GOP Jewish problem is Trump himself. He has a long history of trafficking in antisemitic tropes, comments, dual loyalty accusations, and dog whistles for his followers.
His Rosh Hashanah message last year was a scathing attack on ‘liberal Jews,’ accusing them of having ‘voted to destroy America’ by not supporting him. ‘Let’s hope you learned from your mistakes.’
Spreading hate is a Trump specialty. He may have told Jewish contributors, ‘I love Israel,’ but on his Truth Social site, he posted Biden ‘HATES Israel and Hates the Jewish people.’ Any Jew voting for Biden or Democrats needs their ‘head examined.’
That’s the kind of love that will keep Jews in the Democratic Party for a long time.
