Excellent essay presenting the broad spectrum of Jewish political and religious viewpoints. Other notable Jewish conservative voices and Trump supporters are Lee Zeldin, as well as radio personality Sid Rosenberg and tv and radio personality Mark Levin.
I find the idea of a Jewish conspiracy to take over the world amusing. First, the Jews have been trying to do this for hundreds of years making them very incompetent conspirators. Second. My experience with Jewish people both in business and the academy was that they could not even agree on Coke or Pepsi but they could get together to conquer the universe
Excellent! I love that your essay pushes back against the idea that the Jewish community is locked up by the liberal majority. They may have the numbers, but the generally deeper ethnic and religious roots of more Orthodox and right-leaning Jews forms a very powerful balance to those liberal numbers. Circumstances, today, are putting pressure on both sides, causing a rebalancing of power dynamics within the community. It’s fascinating and scary to watch as the rebalance plays out. People should not overlook the importance of what you’ve written here.
Interesting article. We are a varied people since Moses lead some Jews out of Egypt. Many stayed behind. And of course the Erev Rav are the bain of our existence.
From my perspective, the issues related to ‘the longest hatred’, present and future Israel, Zionism, and so on, ad infinitum, are both incredibly complex, and very simple.
What do I mean by that?
As long as a person fails to see that the ‘root cause’ is spiritual, or understands that, but views the matter through distorted theological lenses, all these matters will remain incomprehensible, irrational, illogical, and/or a frustrating mystery.
For such people, every proposed ‘answer’ will prove to be fundamentally flawed, and every attempt to counter, solve’, or remedy this destructive disease, doomed to failure.
The interpretive ‘keys’ to understanding these matters are all to be found in the Hebrew Bible (Tanakh). Tragically, the vast majority of Jews - AND professing Christians - disregard it, mock it, reject it, don’t know anything about it, or have been led to believe errors, distortions, or falsehoods regarding what is essentially the major ‘Touchstone’ of Truth.
As a Christian Zionist,I see the Brit Hadasha (New Testament) as an invaluable expansion and completion to the revelations of the Hebrew Bible. But the essential basis for understanding the true nature of the evil that is rising up around the world, and is focusing upon the Jewish people and Israel, can be found in the Tanakh alone.
There are many relevant verses that could be shared, but I’ll simply provide this one:
Isaiah 2:2-3 (Tanakh)
“2 In the days to come, the Mount of the LORD's House shall stand firm above the mountains and tower above the hills; and all the nations shall gaze on it with joy.
3 And the many peoples shall go and say:
“Come, let us go up to the Mount of the LORD, to the House of the God of Jacob; that He may instruct us in His ways, and that we may walk in His paths.”
For instruction shall come forth from Zion, the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.”
That those are literal verses; that they describe a reality that G-d will bring to pass in days to come, is anathema to the leader of the fallen hosts of Heaven (Satan, the present ‘god’ of this world). They are either equally reprehensible, or unbelievable, to all humans who do not know, or are enemies of, the G-d of Israel.
This is the ‘root cause’ that explains why the ‘…nations assemble, and peoples plot vain things; kings of the earth take their stand, and regents intrigue together against the LORD and against His anointed…” Psalms 2:1-2 (Tanakh)
I am not saying that it is ‘easy’ to gain the ‘right’ understanding of the Hebrew Bible; to sort through all the claims and counter-claims regarding it’s veracity, authority, or applicability, or the myriad competing interpretations. For many, finding the truth therein may seem like searching for a fine needle in a vast haystack.
BUT (Behold the Underlying Truth)…
But, that is where the Truth that matters is to be found. And it will be revealed therein to all who actually love and seek the Truth with all their heart, mind, and strength.
Interesting observations. Thank God for Steven Miller. For 4 years Breitbart kept us apprised of crimes by illegals, most often brutal rapes and murders against women. These were not nameless, faceless women. They had names, they had families who loved them. The mainstream media was for the most part silent. Why? It didn’t fit their narrative. Philosophically they supported illegal immigration, so to cover the downside, the devastation to families and communities did not suit them. Those of us who were alarmed by the trend were deemed immigration-phobic. How dare they, when many of us are children of immigrants, are proud of our heritage, are proud of our parents’ achievements.
The press who ignored the problem are disgusting and may I say heartless.
I would argue that a lot of anti-semitism is directed at mega-bankers like Rothschild and Warburg, who are neither liberal nor conservative, but globalists. Of course, less than 0.5% of Jews are named Rothschild or Warburg.
In the meantime the secular Jewish establishment continued its abandonment of Jewish students by publishing the above linked letter which was a rehash of Democratic talking points
Yeah, except for the Mizrahi Jews which are brown people, and Ethiopian Jews which are Black, and Asian Jews which are, well… Asian. So, the “white peoples” is only a “slice of the pie”. The pie is very diverse… except, of course, they are all Jews.
Even Latinos were considered white 20 years ago on government documents that we had to sign off on, just because your skins a little darker doesn’t mean you’re not Western European. You may be considered Hispanic in Spain however you are also Caucasian
Thank you so much for your interesting article.....It's hard to believe that Jews have voted for Kamala.....neither she nor Biden did. a thing when Jewish students were harassed by the proPalestinians protestors !.....and when she was campaigning there were plenty of Palestinians flags ......
Question out of curiosity: Which kind of Jews consider a person who was born into a Jewish family, but was baptised a Christian, still a Jew and which kind of Jews consider this person not to be Jewish anymore? Or is it up to the individual Jew and what they think of that person?
By Jewish law (halakhah), anyone born of a Jewish mother is a Jew, regardless of baptismal status. But in practical terms, I'd consider Benjamin Disraeli (who was baptized but proud of his Jewish ancestry) a better Jew than Karl Marx (who was baptized and wrote antisemitic screeds).
So, according to this, my great-grandfather, whose parents were Jewish and who chose to be baptised in 1899, remained a Jew, as well as his younger brother who did the same. They were the last Jews in that branch of the family. I am proud of my Jewish ancestry.
Yes, and antisemitic conspiracy theorists often namecheck Theodor Adorno (leading figure of the Frankfurt School), who had a Jewish father but was baptized Catholic.

Goodness, are Jews just people? Some good, some bad, some generous, some selfish…..?
Just like Catholics, Buddhists, Atheists, Muslims…..?
How many centuries did it take to figure that one out…..or have we?

You have done well here Ben, and I appreciate it.

Disgusting.
Jews are white peoples no matter how you slice the pie 🤔
Yeah, except for the Mizrahi Jews which are brown people, and Ethiopian Jews which are Black, and Asian Jews which are, well… Asian. So, the “white peoples” is only a “slice of the pie”. The pie is very diverse… except, of course, they are all Jews.
So, how do you reconcile that?

Well done
Let’s see what happens on Trump’s trip to the Middle Esat

And I have distant family who is still Jewish.
Bronze Age Pervert, aka Costin Vlad Alamariu may have had a Jewish father, but he was baptized as an infant in the Romanian Orthodox Church
