We Jews are getting hammered by both the right and the left. Just saw many many disgusting comments here justifying this violence because of Gaza. Infuriating.
This, of course, is how they’ll justify rounding up Jewish Americans while simultaneously claiming to be “fighting antisemitism:” “Real” Jews *must* support Trump & Netanyahu, therefore we’re not actually Jewish by definition, you see.
Lol. The “Real Jews support Trump” people are over that now that Trump has bored with Netanyahu and right wing Israeli politicians are lamenting Trump’s fickle nature while reminiscing about Biden’s good character.
I'm reading in other threads that she is Jewish, but "demonic cult" is clearly Christian coded. I don't think I've ever heard another Jew seriously call something demonic. Either she's purposely saying it this way to appeal to a Christian audience or it's giving Messianic vibes.
This has been in the works for *years*, and I’ve been predicting it for some time. But no one has wanted to listen to me.
But it’ll matter when Israel doesn’t feel like honoring Reform Jews’ right of return.
I know: It will never happen. Let’s make a list of all the things that would never happen.
Bibi came to the US to meet with the religious right 10 years ago and told them that Israel’s future lay with the Republican Party. The way he saw it, there would be no more American Jews in 3 generations, because the real Jews would make aliyah by then, and the Reform Jews would be intermarried and
assimilated into oblivion. He told these Christian Zionist not to worry about liberal Jews: Their opinions didn’t really matter and weren’t really “Jewish” opinions anyway.
Which is one of the reasons you hear conservatives say all the time, “You aren’t really Jewish…*I* know a Jewish guy, a real
Jew…”. It’s not at all uncommon to see evangelicals questioning a rabbi’s smicha or telling a woman rabbi that she can’t be a real rabbi. Because they now get their talking points from far-right Orthodox Israelis, and they’ve absorbed the same religious bigotry. And they’re super confident in it.

Sometimes I think back and this is probably normal human behavior. Plenty of historical president.
Always projection with these folks
Absolutely no chance of ir backfiring or causing collateral damage.
