“What the hell is going on?” is a weekly series in which we bring you the most bizarre, outlandish, and surreal developments from around the Jewish world during the past week.
As I read this article, I shook my head over and over stunned at how the "patients" have taken over the asylum. Then I had to do a reality check realizing that these are people who get all the press and they are not a majority, just loud, obnoxious, and ignorant. The quote from Biden I found hilarious like something out of Babylon Bee. It was hard to believe an actual US president is so out of touch doesn't seem to understand what his words mean. Wouldn't it have been interesting if Jewish students (they wouldn't) did the equivalent of a Seder mat for Ramadan? We know how that would have been received. They would have been arrested, expelled, names and faces in the news, pick one or all three. That mat shows how flagrantly repulsive these students are, but with an anti-Semite at the head and professors on staff, it's ignored and even celebrated. Let's not forget Karim Khan of the International Criminal Court, who wants to bring "war crimes" against Netanyahu, Gallant, and a head of the army. He hasn't done one iota of investigation, but since when is there a need for investigation, a minor detail? Not when it involves trying to destroy Israel. I, for one, don't want to be on THAT side of history and neither do many, many Americans.
Agreed with everything — expect I don’t think Biden is out of touch. I actually think he is very much in touch, which makes him all the more cynical and disgusting. He knows that he is talking out of two sides of his mouth and his is eagerly doing it because he is desperate to not be a one-term president. It was so obvious (at least to me) that his “support” for Israel in the immediate aftermath of October 7th was for the Jewish vote and Jewish donor money. Now we are seeing that play out in more obvious ways than it was back then.
Absolutely, We know the insidiousness of Biden's desperate clawing. At the same time, we absolutely know that Trump would be pandering the same way. He is wisely keeping his mouth shut at this hour, but surely he will grasp the hands of whomever will hoist him up with full absence of integrity. Choices? - - It seems we can't win either way. The question really is, "Who is the lesser evil?"
I’m beginning to think that the national election is overhyped (except for national issues like, for example, federal taxes) and Jews should be more focused on local elections (city and state) to make up for whoever is the president. I wouldn’t be surprised if more Jews leave places like California and maybe NY for more moderate and righter-wing states accordingly.
Totally agree with emphasis on down-ballot. I don't know about leaving blue states. I'm retired and living in Florida but I would never raise children here: K-12 education sucks; abortion laws are draconian; guns everywhere. I was raised in NY and I raised my kids in NJ. I don't know. But I would NOT send my kids to any of these Ivy League schools. Repulsive.
Nationally, the Democratic Party is no longer a party that cares much for the Jews. Sending Israel aid and holding Israel’s hands behind its back so it can’t use much of the aid is not “support.” It’s trickery to give the Democrats a “see we support Israel” get out of fail free card. Locally and at the state level, perhaps the Democratic Party varies in terms of prioritizing Jewish voters.
I will say though that it is kind of naive to think that, in a country of 330 million people, the Jews think they matter electorally. The Jewish population ain’t growing much either.
Totally agree, and with "Jews" like Jill Stein, Norman Finkelstein, and the like minded, just makes it all the more difficult. In some way, the Democrats are playing a game of chicken.
I woke up from an unsettling dream whose symbolism meant that EVERYTHING MORAL & LOGICAL IS NOW INVALIDATED, & there's not a damn thing one can do. It dawned on me that even though the Hamas-imbued unrest has been highlighted on college campuses, that just an echo of what some full adults are enacting all over the world, not merely on college campuses. In other words, college campuses are a "trickle-down" microcosm of the outside/adult world. As a gifted retired 35 year+ elementary school Teacher whose hidden agenda was to develop & inspire a proper moral compass in our youth, I shudder with trepidation that this casual shunning of moral compass could pervade our youngest citizens, and that the elementary classroom/playground becomes a microcosm of the tragically misinformed college campus.
Why isn't that terrorist motaz azaiza being arrested? Where's the FBI and Homeland Security? Why are muslim terrorists freely entering our country and freely attending rallies? This is insane. What the hell kind of a government do we have that refuses to defend our country? Our own government is our enemy. The biden regime and the democrat party are giving free reign to our enemies and they are taking full advantage. I want these muslim terrorists out of our country. Our legal immigration policy is just as problematic and dangerous as illegal aliens. If appears to me our own government is at war with America. How anyone seeing what's taking place in this country and voting democrat is beyond me. What world are they living in?
That wicked witch naomi klein should NOT use the word "we" when spouting her poison. WE wholeheartedly want Zionism. Now more than ever. These savages make the case for Zionism.
It's unbelievable, all of it. But what gets my goat more than anything is the paragraph on Jill Stein. I voted for her because I couldn't stomach Hillary and Trump was out of the question. I live in Florida and didn't think my vote really mattered and I thought, years from now I will be able to say "I didn't vote for Hillary, Yay." But after what Stein said, I am ashamed to have voted for her. Can I take my vote back? Hers is seriously the statement of a completely uninformed imbecile.
Biden, Blinken et al don’t understand what’s going on with the Palestinians…or at least Biden, Blinken et al pretend they don’t, because Michigan. Truly despicable.
Biden is evil! This whole disgusting wave is evil! Hysteria is spreading like a plague, everyone of us must fight against this, whether we are Jewish or not!
We've seen the future of the democrat party being displayed on campus. In the not-too-distant future if the democrats get enough power, they will put us in concentration camps to say the least. At the very least they will look the other way as we are slaughtered by mobs.

After rethinking it, I agree with you Joshua. I was giving him the benefit of the doubt and I should know better. Your points are well taken.

We have insanity and evil surrounding us.
We certainly do.

Appreciate you sharing your experiences Jeannette! It is truly mind-boggling.
Yes, Thankyou, Joshua! This issue is becoming all-pervasive.
Thank you for pulling together this mind-boggling compilation!
Reality seems to be making your work easier by providing you with an astounding abundance of material to chose from.
Unfortunately that is the case.

Because Michigan, and maybe Qatar too. Follow the money.
There's no way we should have built a base there. I don't care what they offered. Disgusting.
