I love my religion & I’m not hiding who I am. What I cannot understand is why Jewish people follow & support a convicted treasonous felon who only cares about himself & his wallet. Trump undoubtedly belongs in jail. He’s a danger to this Country & to all minorities. Sorry but there are no reasons why he belongs in the WH sleeping through meetings sending dignatories to his hotels billing the tax payers exhorbatant amounts.
Trump is a great American patriot and friend of Israel and the Jewish People who was subjected to lawfare because he challenged the values of the left which is in the process of demolishing the Constitution and traditional family values. Many of us view the left as aiding and abetting the increased anti Semitism in the US since 10/7 and clearly having a double standard when it comes to Israel that is not applied to China or North Korea.
Assuming you ARE Jewish, your statements about the “Orange Stain on Homo Sapiens DNA” confirm that Jews are just normal people, maybe with some predisposition for hard work, education, care for their children, and general care about humanity and Planet Earth (obviously, doesn’t apply to you as you are MAGA-Jew), but their IQ is still distributed according to Gauss — crowded in the middle, scarce at the left and night extremes. And quoting the late Carlin — 50% are more stupid than the average MAGA ‘Murican, who is not so smart anyway. Help the future of our planet — don’t reproduce!
It (I believe) not so much "for" Trump as against our democratic friends who apparently have forsaken us and yet I still cannot claim support for someone who reminds me of the evil of Germany.
I wear my Jew bling loud and proud. I see three different types of Jews. Ones like me who are proud zionists, ones who are either private or fearful and don’t want to make waves, and ones who are self hating— fortunately the minority although loud and disruptive.
"loud jew bling" ... way to go. I revisited Havana in 2011 (was there in early '59). I always wear a silver pendant given to me by my Litvak grandmother of my "Jewish" name in Yiddish. I entered the elevator where a young Honeymoon couple (Mexico) .. the husband sounded out my name and we had a brief conversation .. he spoke little English, I spoke little Spanish: we conversed in Yiddish ... luckily his dialect was Litvak .. did not hesitate to explain my grandmother's standard belief that Litvaks were not only smarter, but better looking too. Being Jewish is like being part of a large extended family .... so I always prepare with: "Vos machtz der" :)
Yes. We are all family. I’m always pleasantly surprised when someone acknowledges my jewelry, hat or purse (not all worn at once haha) with obvious symbols or words.
I never learned Yiddish even tho my mother was fluent. She wanted to leave that world behind. 😞
What I really can’t understand is why ANYONE would follow a CONVICT. He hates minorities, had Braille removed from his elevators in NY, doesn’t pay taxes, screws whores, is ignorant of foreign affairs (but loves Putin & Kim), thinks hes another Hitler (and he is), wants billionaires taxes cut, wants to remove SS, Medicare & he’s a traitor to his Country.
Jewish life is very alive in the metropolitan NY area but except for Charedim and on Shabbos and at simchas you see a lot more baseball caps and similar in NY in the summer than Kipot
I am a non-religious, non-observant, technically non-Jewish (mom converted to get married) person who is proud to be both Jewish and Zionist and to have such a rich and wonderful heritage.
"People are surprised when they read of Israeli antisemites, or Israelis who deny Jewish identity, or claim there is no such entity as the Jewish People, or who hate Israel and want to get out as soon as they leave the army, and indeed an increasing number who just do not want to serve".
for several of the Commenters and Repliers: I have a non-Jewish good longtime friend resident of NYC since the beginning of the1980s. I left the USA in 1979 on a one way ticket and with only a few hundred dollars. Mid July 2015 that NYC friend warned everyone he that he knew to be wary of Trump. I only knew the guy owned his own building, had a celebrity style tv show, was very wealthy, had a reputation that preceded him. Also the friend said T-man was the biggest liar. Interestingly, within 24hrs of T-man announcing he was officially Running... the 'best' 'news' media went crazy telling every possible lie ... about 'the world's biggest liar'. I found that approach by the 'best' 'news' media to be interesting, comical, pathetic. It is now 9 years later. The 'best' 'news' media has not relented lying about 'the world's biggest liar'. They have lied every day about 'the world's biggest liar'. The USA has long, long, long been in very deep trouble. That IS the main reason I left the USA in 1979!!! To a certain degree a HUGE percentage of Jewish persons in the USA or their parents or grandparents LONG ago 'threw the baby out with the bathwater'. No matter how much that HUGE group claims to be 'Jewish' without ever opening a Torah or Siddur or Tehillim etc. A HUGE part of that group "identifies" AS a Jew without doing anything about being a Jew or a better one or a practicing one except by saying endlessly "I'm Jewish". It is the same for self proclaimed Zionist. A HUGE percentage of American Jews are MUCH more very committed political creatures than they have ever been a Jewish one. Cross their Political Party and those folks will flair their nostrils like the devil incarnate. They will react like the worst fundamentalist religionist fanatic. Yet still YELL in your face or via vile terms in Comments/Replies any time they can "I'm Jewish. And I am an Atheist". or "I'm Jewish. And I'm a Zionist. I hate all religions." "I'm Jewish and I hate religions that's why I practice Buddhism". So for those who have Commented and fomented I want to help with your Exorcism and purge. For you I say TRUMP. For you I say Biden and Kamela and Blinken etc. are psychopaths. I say that Obama did terrible terrible terrible things. TRUMP did MANY outstanding things during his FIRST of TWO Presidencies. I do not care about YOUR religion of "What About-ism". I do not care about whatever foolish wrong or dangerous things TRUMP did. I care that MOST Jews who self-identify as "I always vote Dumbocrap no matter what"... have their own problems that a Dumbocrapic psychoanalyst (Jewish, 'secular' or otherwise inclined) will NOT be able to help in 20 years. Bye the way, the day that Hilary said 'they're deplorables' I began to say 'he' ie whoever was running against her would win ie the Repulsive Rats would defeat the Dumbocraps. Why? Although I am no fan of Hellinism's antagonistic wall against Judaism... in this case it was Hubris of the She-beast-incarnate and the Dumbocraps. I DO NOT SUPPORT ANY POLITICAL PARTY ANYWHERE. The so-called 'democratic process' is wholey like Swiss cheese with heinous crimes and vile misguided institutions of all sorts. America's key to its lasting self-identity is reduced to: Gosh, golly gee, Andy, shucks jest look at all the great variety of potato chips we can choose from 24hrs a day too and every day. Nope, Jewish or otherwise don't matter a hoot when it comes to self-identifying and a loyal Dumbocrap. And I am STILL NOT a Repulsiverat or any Party member. And one more TRUMP just so you can understand that YOU do have TDS and very very very likely your friends and family Jewish or otherwise also have BDS. Bibi Derangement Syndrome. Don't think you do?:):):) How's yer blood pressure RIGHT NOW?
I have never been embarrassed to be Jewish; I will never be embarrassed to be Jewish (think it is the best thing about me) and when I see a man with a kippah or a shtremeil, I think of him as a brother. When a sister wears a sheitel, likewise, a sister. And for those who bear ill will ... I feel sorry for them and unless a physical danger is detected, I leave them to lay in their own poison.
So you will be the first to go!!!!
God knows and so does everyone else who studies history that you are the one bearing the guilt and shame and booking your place in purgatory..
Our Rabbi says “everybody wants to marry us.” Think about it in a positive way. They want to be part of what we enjoy in our culture.

You are correct, but you’re arguing with an emotionally unstable TDS sufferer.

A lovely piece of optimism -- and sorely needed. Thank you.

100%.
Fleshpots! An excellent turn of phrase.

Jewish life is very alive in the metropolitan NY area but except for Charedim and on Shabbos and at simchas you see a lot more baseball caps and similar in NY in the summer than Kipot
It is a time like this, that I remember Meir Kahane and think ... how prophetic.
I am a non-religious, non-observant, technically non-Jewish (mom converted to get married) person who is proud to be both Jewish and Zionist and to have such a rich and wonderful heritage.
Very sad. Israelis should be proud, they are the bravest people in the world.

That would describe our enemies. You are pro-genocide. You support genocide against the Jews.

Proud to be Jewish but embarrassed that these guys were Jewish.
