Top O' the Briefing

Happy Monday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. Khzourosbaldo greatly enjoyed his fondue time with the Lesser Brady Bunch Children Discussion Society. 

Let's just get something clear up front: I am not here to figure out why Jewish Americans vote for Democrats. I'm a lifelong practicing Roman Catholic, and I can't fathom why anyone from my faith tradition votes for Dems. What the heck, let's leave religion out of it — it's a mystery to me why anyone would ever vote for a Democrat. 

The Democrats have been on the more antisemitic side of things since the Hamas terrorist attacks on Oct. 7, 2023. The three-year anniversary of that horror comes less than a month before the midterm elections this year, and it's worth wondering if Jewish Americans might break with historical trends and be a deciding variable. 

Any exercises in moral equivalency between Hamas and the Israeli response to October 7 are patently antisemitic, and the Democrats have been involved in a lot of them. The Brownshirt revival on college campuses post-Oct. 7, 2023 has received explicit and implicit support from the Democrats. 

Here's a snapshot of the thinking of a leftist activist who Robert wrote about over the weekend:

Flores, like many contemporary leftist activists, hates Jews, and thinks they’re behind everything that a “progressive” thinks is wrong with the world. Their nefarious hegemony extends even to the local politics of Sonoma County, Calif. Says Flores: "But we’re literally run by the gay Jewish mafia — the Zionists in Sonoma County. The Jews still run the world. That’s where we’re at. All our money gets sent to Israel, but nobody wants to talk about that."

A lot of Democrats will insist that disapproving of the United States/Israel alliance isn't antisemitic, but any deep dive usually proves that it is. American leftists hate Israel because they hate Jews. And they hate Jews because they've spent a kajillion years telling themselves that the Islamic jihadi psychopaths who want to wipe Israel — and eventually the United States — off the map are good people. 

The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) members who are ascendant in the Democratic Party are, for the most part, unhinged antisemites. I added the qualifier "for the most part" there just in case some leftist troll managed to find one who isn't. I don't think that will happen, though. Zohran Mamdani, Abdul El-Sayed, Rashida Tlaib, and DSA Psycho Queen Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez all prefer that Israel be destroyed and Islamic terrorists hold complete sway in the Middle East. That's what "Free Palestine" is all about. 

El-Sayed is a big moral equivalence antisemite. This is from Catherine:

The Nazis slaughtered six million Jews, the Holocaust from which the global Jewish population has never recovered. The Jews were entirely innocent victims of irrational and violent hatred. El-Sayed wanted to pretend the Arab Muslim loss in the 1948 Israeli independence war is an experience of similar trauma

Sane people never say, "Ya know, what we went through was just like the Holocaust." 

Because it wasn't. 

The question now is how many Jewish American voters will realize that the power base in the Democratic Party is rapidly shifting towards people who truly and deeply hate them. The Dems may be slipping up a lot lately, but they're still pretty crafty with false narratives and obfuscation. There's also a strongly inherent level of gullibility that has to be factored into anyone who's ever voted for Democrats. Hoping for a sea change in that voting bloc might be a bit much. 

Or, we might get lucky, and legacy Dem voters will finally realize that "free health care for all" isn't a thing.
