Jews no longer welcome in liberal political parties

Although it’s already been known for a while, the message is coming through loud and clear. Jews are simply no longer welcome in liberal political parties.

First, it was the Democratic Socialist Party takeover of the Democratic Party, where DSA candidates made sure to express their disdain for Zionists (a/k/a Jews) and, of course, Israel, their homeland. 

Just like an official club mantra, each of those running for office were happy to approve the “Free Palestine” slogan, assuring their supporters that they were part of the in-crowd, whose platform included an aversion to oppressors and occupiers, for them, most embodied by the Jewish people.

So, despite the fact that Jews had been an integral and loyal base of the Democratic Party, all their lives, they stopped feeling the love the moment Woke and radical Islamic ideology intersected, both focused on the evil character of Jews.

For that reason, many Michigan Jews are finding it impossible to cast their vote for the Democrat running for Senator in their state. Knowing that Abdul El-Sayed has, himself, thrown out the term “genocide,” accusing Israel of a crime which never took place, Michigan’s Jews realize that such a loaded charge has implications for them as well.

Consequently, they feel betrayed by El-Sayed and by the party which has willingly accepted Hasan Piker’s close friend into their ranks. That is why many of them have decided to vote Republican in November.

Now, another political party has, predictably, gone the same route, allowing the poisoned chalice to make its way into their midst. By voting that “Zionism is racism,” UK’s Green Party has opened up a hornet’s nest of turmoil amongst its members, a significant number of whom are Jewish, including its leader, Zack Polanski.

That is because the Green Party, worldwide, stands for many liberal causes which have tended to attract open-minded Jews. Their belief has traditionally been that, to the extent they can champion the underdog and issues which purport to benefit all of humanity, they will lessen their own risk of prejudice or rejection.

While that may make some sense, what happens when it backfires on them, and they become the recipients of the hate and bigotry they hoped to avoid by being such liberal thinkers?

It’s something they never considered, because while they were busy marching side by side with marginalized groups, the expectation was that, on the day they would need the same support, it would be forthcoming. Sadly, it hasn’t been.

The Green Party is a perfect study in why the backing is not mutual. What began as a grassroots movement, centered around social justice, ecological concerns, fair trade standards and the desire for global demilitarization, has morphed into just another arena where Woke ideology and radical Islamic fervor can set up their tents. 

This gives the red and green alliance warriors the perfect opportunity to find a home in the two parties that will welcome them, seeing that their movements are a growing trend to which young people are gravitating.

The problem is that both Marxists and radical Islamists meet at their common point of Jew hatred, and that’s an obvious non-starter for those who stand to lose the most from that double-helping of hostility headed their way. 

It is the reason that Jews are making a steady exodus from the Democratic party, since they feel more vulnerable by the very people they always believed would stand with them if the need ever arose.

According to “Good Authority,” an online digital publication that provides political analysis and commentary, already by the year 2025, there was an 8-point decline in a single year of Jewish support for the Democratic Party.  

And why not, given the anti-Israel stance which has invaded and continues to deluge liberal political parties? In truth, while a large number of Jewish Americans claim that neither of the two major parties support them, the Woke and Marxist contingency, who lean the heaviest against Israel, do not align with the Republican party on any level.

For them, conservatism and traditional values, usually espoused by Republicans, cannot coexist with the very aggressive, anti-establishment and “burn it all down” crowd, who tend to gravitate towards anarchy and chaos. 

And while Jews have embraced liberal causes, they did so with the view of creating an equitable society for all people. It must also be remembered that most Jews continue to value the traditional family and remain loyal to their Israeli counterparts, knowing that the Jewish homeland represents a safe refuge which they might need someday.

That is why the rift, taking place, is unavoidable.  Because this is a too great a gap which cannot be bridged. When people in your party are calling for the State of Israel to be eliminated, through their “from the river to the sea” chant, then the stark realization hits that Jews must make a choice.

Either they will pledge their loyalty and support to a party that looks upon their people as a blight to society or they will face the hurtful reality that they’ve been left behind, told that they are not welcomed as co-laborers and equals of the party which they believed in, for all of their adult lives.

Yet, none of this should come as a big surprise. Because all the signs pointed to an inevitable reckoning which would hinge upon scapegoating the Jews, just as history has recorded so many times. 

Whether it was initiated by nations, kings or political parties, there has been a constant return to this fallback position, where Jews are looked upon as the reason others cannot successfully make gains. The erroneous and prejudicial belief that Jews are more advantaged, taking whatever opportunities that come their way to get ahead, is never credited to their drive and hard work but rather to the notion that they cheated.

It is that position of jealousy and envy which causes them to see the Jews as their natural enemies, simply because they cannot keep up with them. When that happens, their default move is to disenfranchise that competition, making sure that they can never be outdone by the Zionists.

It’s the sad reality and the end of decades of Jewish support for the liberal parties who are no longer able to see their Jewish base as a real asset to their parties.
