The Democrats and the Jews

If you’re Jewish, you need to read this Ed Lasky article. It has fact after fact describing increased Democratic hostility to Jews and Israel. What’s striking is that the hostility to Israel isn’t simply phrased in neutral terms of “it’s not good for America to support Israel,” something with which I’d disagree, but which is a legitimate formulation of an idea. Instead, there’s good anecdotal evidence, supported by public polls and politicians’ votes, to show that genuine anti-Semitism, rooted in the same socialism that resulted in so many Jewish deaths in the 20th Century, is driving many in the Democratic train.

Also, if you know any Jewish voters who are struggling to decide whether they’ve reached their personal tipping point, send them a copy of the article. Its inexorable line-up of ugly facts may be the last thing they need to switch allegiances.
