Actually, Los Angeles has a Democrat problem. In fact, all of California has a Democrat problem. It’s a state run by a single-party system that has embraced the woke agenda hook, line, and sinker. Until voters in the state wake up to the fact that it’s the Democrats that are the source of the problem, nothing will change.

We have to start contemplating the possibility that our time in this country is growing short. An ancient evil now stalks us here with increasing strength and speed. For now, I think we can hold our own. If this continues though, I doubt it.

I think Jews are mostly safe in red states, certainly in Florida and Texas. It's the blue states and cities which have decided to fold the jihadists into their ruling coalitions that are the problem. Soon NYC might have a Hamasnik mayor, at which point the Big Apple just might experience Exodus 2.0

The red states are in better shape than their blue counterparts. That being said, the trend lines overall are bad. The right combination of awful in one, or more, of the three branches of the federal government is all it would take to bring the “keep a bag packed” world of pre-1939 to the forefront. These are truly not good times.

We wish it was true, but the Nazi lovers are alive and well in the red states. The difference is that they have limited power in the national Republican party, save Massie and Greene (and a few others).

Nationally, there are now more Muslims than Jews, especially in swing states. The Democrats have done the math and realize that if they don't appease the Mohammadins, they will lose forever (if not being targeted for jihad). The Dems somehow still cash checks from Jewish donors, though.

Sorry but Israel has an as big if not bigger leftest problem, the protest prove just how bad things in Israel are, they have long forgotten that while comfort and luxury is cheap, but that freedom costs, and inevitably its those that are true end up paying the highest price.

Not only a leftist problem. It is a Jewish training problem.

Debate is a big part of Jewish life. Playing devil's advocate and challenging the status quo has historical precedent among Jews. It's also one of the reasons why people like Einstein have made the discoveries they have. It's why most Passover Seder tables erupt into arguments about something or other relatively meaningless. That the world's only Jewish state debates and questions its leaders isn't necessarily a bad thing - but unfortunately, in the particular case of the current war, it's counterproductive.

California, especially its most prestigious universities, is the home office of the Social Justice faith and Social Justice is another iteration of Marxist Supersessionism, meaning that its leaders and dogma demand the demonization and humiliation of Jews, who must be erased and replaced for the imagined SJ utopia to come into existence.

Californians, especially its most powerful and "educated" residents, have been culturally conditioned to never contradict an Official Sacred Victim group and to never interfere if any oppressed victim decides to deliver some rough justice to their oppressors.

And now that Jews have been declared to be settler-colonialist imperialist genocidal baby killers etc etc, there is simply no way that any of the members of our progressive aristocracy—whether politician, scholar or celebrity—will ever lift a finger to help Jewish people, as this would violate their sacred tribal dogma and would risk career and social death (or worse).

The most painful part of this is that Social Justice and the omnipotent California Democrats (not to mention our universities) get so much of their funding from wealthy liberal Jews. They think converting to "tikkun olam" will save them and their families (and they're probably right), but the rest of California's Jews are on their own and the sooner they realize it the better.

"Societies that drive out their Jews rarely thrive for long."

Is this then the most effective way that the western world will be brought down? And the perpetrators gain the buy-in of the West's constituents , due to the appeal of anti-Semitism.

Iran's ambassador to Australia was expelled , due to their involvement in burning down synagogues and other terror related issues.

I absolutely agree with you. They have spent billions in the US alone and own major multiple companies in the UK, Barclays to name one. They are in everyone's pockets. And yes, you are correct. They have a foot in every pot. Watching the reception for Trump in the Middle East, Sheika Mosa looked like the brightest light when she saw Witkoff, who helped to set the entire display of excessive opulence for her to meet President Trump. Witkoff owes them the rest of his life. Qatar hates the Jews and I truly believe they gave the instructions to Trump to have Israel leave Iran. I also believe they convinced Trump to allow the terrorist to lead Syria and they would keep an eye on him to make sure he behaves, wink and nod.

Saying it is a Jewish problem does sound like what Hitler would have said. It is not a Jewish problem. It is a problem of ignorance and for those that are informed, pure evil and hatred. People need to understand that after Israel was created the Palestinians wrote their Charter document that they still believe in. It calls for the destruction of Israel. Almost anyone in the Gaza strip who speaks of peace with Israel is tortured or killed by Hamas. They refuse to accept Israel's right to exist. They can't live in peace next to each other. Not because Israel will attack, although Israelis need to defend themselves, but because Palestinians keep terrorizing Israelis. They sound like they want peace when they say Palestine must be free, but what they want is the destruction of Israel.

Today in Bilboa in the Basque region of Spain, Pro palestine Jew hating protesters, many of them, protesting the inclusion of Israel Premier Tech racing team in the Vuelta E Spana, one of the three major bicycle tour races, caused the stage to stop before the finish line. During the race they flooded the course and caused on rider to crash (not on IPT). The team is not even sponsored by Israel, just by an Israeli billionaire who loves bike racing. Only one member of their 8 member team is Israeli, the rest are Europeans and an American. There are 10 days left in the race and there is talk of the race not continuing unless the IPT team withdraws. The world has gone batshit crazy Jew hatred insane.

I read the article. Incredible statement by a Vuelta official saying that Israel Premier Tech is making the race unsafe for everybody. They are riding safely and not bothering anybody! The race officials should be blaming the protesters for making the race unsafe, but instead blames the IPT riders because the mere presence of bike racers wearing bike jerseys with the word Israel on it, and a modernistic style Star of David, makes it unsafe in his mind. What a pathetic imbecile. He should be calling out the protesters and urging police to increase their presence. Since when do Jew hating protesters decide if a team connected in some way to the only Jewish state in the world gets to cycle. Heck, 7 of the 8 riders aren't even Jewish, or Israeli.

We American Jews have another unspoken problem: there is no place for us in our political system. Do we live with the crap of the Trumpian sycophants and perhaps survive. Or do we live with the neoprogressive hatred towards us.

What you describe in LA is a larger version of what I see and have seen all my life in urban and rural America. Pro Palestinian stupidity rules in the intellectuals; Jew haters in the less educated; and animosity towards everyone not a white Christian everywhere.

It is well defined everywhere. We have defined the extent of the problem. We need to start talking about how to protect ourselves as a community. We don’t have time to continue to define a problem defined over three thousand years. And this talk seems little different than the German Jews in 1939 saying oh it won’t be so bad for us, our neighbors will protect us; or as we said in 1929 when we said our Muslim friends will protect us.
