T. Belman. Unbelievable. How can Trump or MAGA be responsible for the increase in antisemitism or a threat to democracy? How can these Jews not see that their own Democratic Party is the real threat to democracy by rigging the elections for instance. Also the Democratic Party and its squad are responsible for the rise in antisemitism. As is their embrace of the Palestinian narrative casting Israel as an occupier.
Obviously, they get their opinions from the Main Stream Media, The Reform Movement and J Street, among others.
American Jewish voters overwhelmingly supported Democratic candidates in the U.S. midterms on Tuesday, with democracy and abortion being the key issues of concern

WASHINGTON—Three out of four Jewish Americans voted for Democrats in the U.S. midterm elections, significantly motivated by rising antisemitism and extremism fostered by former president Donald Trump’s influence on the Republican Party.
Jews backed Democrats over Republicans by a 74-25 margin, according to a GBAO Election Night poll commissioned by J Street, with 55 percent of voters citing “the state of democracy” as their top issue while 40 percent cited abortion.
These numbers reflect the findings of the Jewish Electorate Institute poll from earlier this year that cited these as the top two issues for Jewish voters.
To this end, Jewish voters continue to overwhelmingly support U.S. President Joe Biden despite national polarization and low approval ratings. 70 percent of Jews approve of Biden, compared to the 42-percent approval among the general population.
Eight-five percent of voters, meanwhile, said they were very concerned about antisemitism, with 76 who believed Trump and his GOP allies are responsible for its spike. Further, 74 percent believe Trump and the MAGA movement are a “threat to Jews in America.”
Even more unpopular than Trump among Jewish voters, however, is Sen. Mitch McConnell, who holds an 85 percent unfavorable rating.
These concerns over democracy and antisemitism were captured in voters’ sentiments toward the American Israel Public Affairs Committee as well. Seventy-two percent of Jewish voters said they disapproved of AIPAC’s decision to endorse more than 100 Republicans who refused to certify the 2020 presidential election results.
“The gold standard has always been the network exit polls – that has always been the accepted number, and RJC stands by the Fox News exit polling, which shows a consistent trend of Jewish voters moving towards the GOP,” Republican Jewish Coalition National Political Director Sam Markstein said, referring to a poll that found a 65-33 Democrat-Republican split.
“J Street doesn’t like the poll, so they shopped around and paid for a poll they do like. The trends are absolutely clear: Jewish voters are moving towards the GOP – 24 percent in 2016, 30 percent in 2020, 33 percent in 2022 – and no J Street paid-for poll will change those facts,” Markstein added.

“The future of democracy and reproductive rights were on the ballot in these elections, and three out of every four Jewish voters overwhelmingly supported Democrats because of those two key issues,” Jewish Democratic Council of America CEO Halie Soifer said.
She noted her organization “led an unprecedented campaign to ensure that Democrats won this election with the strong support of Jewish voters, and that’s exactly what occurred in the midterms. Three-quarters of Jewish voters supported Democrats and rejected extremist Republicans, and it made a decisive difference in the outcome of this close election.”
Seventy-three percent of Jewish voters want the U.S. to play an active role in helping Israelis and Palestinians resolve the conflict, even if it means pressuring both sides. Only 58 percent, however, support the U.S. exerting pressure on Israel alone.
Eighty-nine percent of Jews believe it is possible to be “pro-Israel” and critical of Israeli policy. This is captured by Prime Minister-in-waiting Benjamin Netanyahu’s 59 percent unfavorability rating.
This marks a 56-point swing from his peak favorability among U.S. Jewish voters in 2014, which dropped following his campaign against the Iran nuclear deal in 2015 and even further after his embrace of Trump.
The majority of Jewish voters further support a comprehensive peace agreement, preferably in the form of a two-state solution. 69 percent of Jewish voters support a comprehensive deal based on parameters under previous negotiations, and 61 percent of voters back a Jewish State of Israel alongside an Arab State of Palestine. Only 24 percent, meanwhile, back annexation of the West Bank and only 15 percent support a one-state solution.
Jewish voters strongly oppose Israeli settlement construction, with only 24 percent believing Israel should build where it wants. 39 percent, meanwhile, believe Israel should confine settlement construction to already developed areas and 37 percent believe Israel should suspend all settlement construction.
The majority of Jewish voters support restricting U.S. military aid to Israel from fueling the occupation. 68 percent of Jewish voters support the $3.8 billion in security assistance at the same level, while restricting it so it cannot be used to expand the occupation.
The survey was conducted November 1-8, 2022 and included interviews with 800 self-identified Jewish voters who cast their ballots on Election Day or prior to Election Day. The survey is subject to a margin of error of +/- 3.5 percentage points at the 95 percent confidence level.
I think the results are pure BS.
They questioned 800 Jews and extrapolated the results onto all the Jews of the US.

Worst of both worlds, fundamentalist religious lunatics and antizionist.
There are more antisemitic Jews in the US than in any other country! And they are all in the dems party. But who cares!
Their affiliation to the party of racism, slavery, KKK etc is difficult to comprehend!
Am haaretz?
Ignorant Jews, technically born Jewish, but they do not know or live Torah…
Most, rarely attend any religious event, and even then, what they get is a distorted false idea of Torah..
They are marching to assimilation…
90% +++ assimilation rates and the reality on the ground is almost 100%
We need to understand this very clearly.
President Trump can see and hear the same things everyone else can see and hear, including the coordinated media and GOPe effort to diminish him and the MAGA movement within the Republican club.
The Democrats and professional Republican class both want to see the populist movement destroyed for the same reason Mitch McConnell wanted the Tea Party destroyed in 2010. The assembly of the united middle-class and blue-collar base inside the Republican Party, essentially the broad MAGA movement, represents a Main Street threat to Wall Street control of the GOPe.
There are trillions at stake.
As Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’ megadonor and Citadel hedge fund billionaire, Ken Griffin, openly admitted recently the Wall Street goals are (1) stop the populist movement and (2) get the Republican Party back in alignment with the multinational “corporate world.” These are the same goals of the Republican leadership in Washington DC and the same goals as the corporate media who serve as the public relations firms for Wall Street.

This article reminds me of that great story of Moshe and the exodus. According to the Rabbis something like a 1/3rd or 4/5ths of the Jews stayed in Egypt. Only a small group came out and they were a split group. Some followed Moshe and GOD but some did not. Probably most did not and by the time you get to Eliyahu, he thought he was alone.

Anyone who tells the secular and or liberal Jews the truth is antisemitic.
“Preaching to their respective choirs.” And not on speaking terms. Or listening. But, the liberals claim to represent all Jews. This goes back to the advent of Reform Judaism in the early 19th century and Rabbi Isaac Meyer Wise and his drive for political unification.
Liberals accused Trump of antisemitism for pointing out the obvious as stated in the article and criticizing the 74 percent. Liberal Jews accuse Republicans of antisemitism. This article is typical.

Just google: Republican antisemites. Lots come up.
Different mental universes seemingly.
not USA Jews but all the western Jews are the same… they embraced progresivism and they are driven by a corrupt progressive leadership like a herd… they lost the preservation instinct as they did before WWII… remember what German Jews were proclaiming?
“we are Germans at first!”
Ho hum. This is hardly news. There are not one but 2 Jewish communities, one liberal and one conservative in both the US and Israel and that’s how the numbers break down, exactly, only in Israel they are reversed, liberals are in the minority there, and politics is more important than religion in defining tribal identification for most in both places.
You saw it in the midterms, as well. The areas in Brooklyn that voted for Zeldin voted for Trump, in both cases almost unanimously.
No point in bashing our heads against a wall about it. Politics is lije a religion. But, the numbers of Jews who have been voting Republican has been gradually increasing over the years.
Are they crazy? The Democrat Party welcomes and protects a wide variety and ever-growing number of overt antisemites within its ranks. I dare those who support the Democrats to find even a single similar example among the Republicans in Congress. Aside from which it has become quite clear that the Democrat Party long ago morphed into The New Communist Party of the USA. This attitude is a triumph for the lying mainstream media.

You beat me to the punch… The myth of the smart Jew…
Hi, Ted.
You said, “Unbelievable…” I think you can see now, why I’ve been concerned all these years over Jews like Nadler, Schiff, Garland, Schumer, Mayorkas, Yellen, Soros, Harari, Zuckerberg, Kissinger et al: All American Jews, all in bed with the enemy.
Seventy-four percent of these, your brethren, have teamed up with the most despicable specimens of humanity this world has ever produced: Bill Gates, Joe Biden, Barack Obama, Anthony Fauci & Associates. They share their power, yes! but also their worldview, their lack of honor, their ghoulish greed and their nightmarish vision for mankind.
When the Goyim turn on Israel, these Jews (JINOs) will be (and are) the vanguard; and when their overlords secure world domination, they will be among the first to be lined up and shot by their “comrades”.
BTW, I am not uniformly disgusted with US Jews. At least one of them, Dr. Miriam Grossman,
https://marypatriotnews.com/2022/11/10/dr-miriam-grossman-how-one-doctors-lies-built-the-gender-industry-part-1-teaser-video/
is one of the foremost Americans who have labored to protect our children and other innocents — in league not with Fauci and his evil ilk, but with our finest: the likes of Robert Kennedy Jr. The war we are waging does NOT follow blood lines.
And the jews are supposed to be a smart people… we’ll have to exclude the USA jews from that premise, especially the leftists.
