When Liberal Jews cannot support Zionism/Israel they become my enemy.
They are as dangerous as Iran and radical Islamists because they are willing to signal they support J Street, Soros' financing, etc. and are obviously anti-American as well.

1 in 10 American Jews Support Hamas
Jews for Jewish Genocide.
by Daniel Greenfield, Front Page Magazine
On October 18, Hamas supporters stormed the United States Capitol and rallied in the Canon rotunda against the Israeli campaign to stop the Islamic terrorist group. While many of the insurrectionists were Islamist and non-Jewish leftist activists, the event was linked to two veteran anti-Israel organizations: Jewish Voice for Peace and If Not Now
There has always been a pro-terrorist fringe among American Jews exemplified by organizations such as these two, along with others such as J Street, the Israel Policy Forum, the New Israel Fund, Jews for Racial & Economic Justice, T’ruah and other anti-Israel groups. And while they have generally boasted more organizations than members, a new poll raises the question of what percentage of American Jews supports Hamas and the killing of Jews.
The answer in one poll is deeply troubling.
Cygnal polled Muslims and Jews in America. It found that 57% of Muslims believed that Hamas atrocities against Jews were justified. But a less widely reported result found that 11.5% of American Jews also agreed that Hamas was justified.
3.6% of American Jews “strongly agreed” that Hamas was justified while another 7.9% “somewhat agreed.”
While the vast majority of American Jews, 88.5% disagreed, there is a distinct minority of people who were born Jewish that supports killing Jews.
And supports Hamas.
Hamas Leader Ismail Haniyeh enjoys a 7.2% favorability rating among American Jews.
When asked if knowing that “Hamas is nothing but a proxy for Iran and is funded and supported by Iran. Would you be more or less likely to vote for a political candidate who supports releasing billions of dollars in frozen assets for Iran to use any way it chooses”, 10.8% of American Jews would be more likely to vote for such a candidate.
1 in 10 American Jews supports the murder of Jews. Not to mention the rape, torture, kidnapping and dismembering of Jews. That is the JVP, If Not Now, J Street, T’ruah demographic
Polls are flawed and Cygnal dramatically oversamples Reform who make up 44.7% of the poll, but only 37% of American Jews, and Orthodox and Conservative Jews barely make up a quarter of the respondents, but the poll likely does reflect some percentage of American Jews.
They are the ones who rallied for Hamas in the Capitol and who, like Anna Epstein at Boston University, can be seen tearing down the posters showing the kidnapped women and children.
Anti-Israel groups over the years have claimed that they don’t support terrorism. Even the If Not Now and JVP rallies operate under the false flag of calling for a ceasefire. Their allies from J Street to JFREJ to T’ruah use similarly misleading language. Some even claim to be advocating for the hostages. This is often enhanced by theatrical performances inappropriately using borrowed Jewish rituals such as a shofar, a tallit and the recitation of Kaddish, the mourning prayer, for Islamic terrorists.
In reality, If Not Now first statement after the Hamas rape, torture, kidnapping and murder of
Israelis asserted that, “we cannot and will not say today’s actions by Palestinian militants are unprovoked. Every day under Israel’s apartheid system is a provocation.” It made no mention of Hamas, but only claimed that the “blood is on the hands” of America and Israel
But what the poll really lays bare is the worldview of Hamas supporters with Jewish last names. It does so without any of the dishonest language, the equivocation, the changes of subject that form the essence of their anti-Israel arguments. Asked if they support Hamas, they do.
It’s that simple and it was always that simple.
There is a percentage of American Jews whose leftist politics are so extreme that they back Hamas and the mass killing of Jews. We don’t know exactly what percent it is, is it really 11.5% or 7% or 3.6%. What we do know is that members of this group routinely lie and mislead about what they believe. They talk about peace when what they’re after is war. When they advocate for a ‘ceasefire’, what they really want is the unrestricted ability by Hamas to kill Jews.
They are not just opposed to the policies of a “right-wing Israeli government” or any Israeli government, they have a favorable view of Ismail Haniyeh: the leader of Hamas, who had bragged that the Islamic terror group would win because it loved death while “the Jews love life more than any other people, and they prefer not to die”.
They aren’t actually advocating for a deal with Iran, they just want an end to all sanctions on Iran even if it supports Hamas and even in the absence of any actual deal to end its nuclear program.
What does the anti-Israel fringe of the Jewish community support?
Israel released a recording of a Hamas terrorist excitedly calling his parents to tell them, “Father, I killed 10 Jews! Check your WhatsApp! I sent you the photos! Father, I killed 10 Jews! I killed 10 Jews with my bare hands. check your WhatsApp. Father, be proud of me!”
How did we get to the point where any percentage of American Jews supports Hamas?
Another poll, from Harvard/Harris, found that 16% of Americans side with Hamas and 24% agreed that “the Hamas killing of 1200 Israeli civilians in Israel can be justified by the grievances of Palestinians.”
This was an opinion held by 31% of Democrats and 36% of self-described liberals. People with college degrees (29%) were more likely to support Hamas atrocities than people with only some college (21%). Urbanites (40%) were far more likely to believe that the murder of Israeli women and children was justified than suburban (17%) or rural (13%) residents. Those making $75,000 or more were more often Hamas supporters (33%) than those making less (19%) and blacks (33%), Hispanics (28%) justified the murder of Jews more than white people did (21%).
The poll didn’t assemble the percentage of Hamas support from urban (40%) liberals (36%) with college (29%) degrees, but it’s a good bet that it’s between a third and a half of them.
That also is a good description of a sizable percentage of American Jews
A third of American Jews do not support Hamas, but when they are immersed in an environment that does, especially on college campuses, is it any surprise that some do?
When 21% of liberals admit that they side with Hamas, some Jewish leftists will do it too.
Move to a neighborhood full of Nazis, enroll your kids in schools where there are daily chants of “Heil Hitler” during lunchtime and students are taught of the greatness of the Third Reich, and the odds of your kids coming home goose stepping vastly increases. Even if they’re Jewish.
Jews in America have become part of a cultural community that has supported leftist terrorism for at least half a century. Some never abandoned their admiration for Communism, others saw the Marxist terrorists of the counterculture as noble idealists, and some now celebrate Hamas.
American Jews are much less likely to support their own killing, kidnapping and torture than the average liberal (36%), but as many as 1 in 10 may be willing to accept Jewish genocide as the price of social justice. In the early days of the Soviet Union, the Yevsektsia or Jewish Section, made up of people who were born Jewish, was the most ruthless in wiping out Judaism and Zionism. Today, If Not Now, J Street and Jews for Racial & Economic Justice take up the banner.
The Hamas atrocities and the reaction to it are a reality check. Some Jewish liberals recoil in horror at the implications of the ideology of social justice, others double down and embrace it. They claim that they want peace, but the Cygnal poll shows what they really want is dead Jews.

I want to repeat something I have written about many times.
When our daughter, Abby, attended Rollins College in Winter Park, Florida, we drove down for a family weekend and took the program option of hearing Ellen Cannon (PHD) who spoke about the future direction of America. Ellen was from Chicago was engaged in a private practice and was sponsored by the local Federation, I believe. This was over 15 years ago.
She spoke about the growing influence of Muslim legal immigration and how they were seeking employment in media companies, libraries, local county commission boards and grade schools and universities. She also spoke about Saudi financing the establishment of University Arab Departments.
I told Lynn I thought Cannon was smack not only smack on but also we would eventually pay a steep price. Ellen proved to be omniscient and here we are.
Radical Muslims believe all others are infidels and they cannot live in a world inhabited by infidels. Mormons are actively engaged in religious conversion but they are not engaged in terrorism. They do not want to behead babies, rape women, etc. They are not engaged in sending missiles to Minnesota, etc.
This distinction seems to escape our "precious snowflakes," and therein lies the difference.

Stansberry Digest
Dear Richard,
As you read this, millions of American families are coming home from church.
But their houses of worship looked a little emptier than they remember...
After all, church membership has been steadily declining since the 1960s.
What are people doing instead?
Well, the average American spends 7 hours and 4 minutes per day staring at a screen.
And there's no mystery as to why people are looking for an escape...
Drug use and domestic violence numbers are up... and people are fleeing cities like New York, where there was a 97% increase in shooting incidents in 2020.
Every type of consumer debt is currently sitting at all-time highs: Credit card, auto, mortgage, student...
And sports betting on live games, which was illegal in most states just five years ago, has increased ten-fold in the last three years.
It feels like America is giving up.
As Napoleon famously said, "Religion is what keeps the poor from murdering the rich."
Our founder, Porter Stansberry, would disagree.
Porter blames it all on the government's dangerous actions with our currency.
As he shared this during his recent tell-all interview:
"Gambling and crime flourish in a society that's monetizing its debt and debasing its currency. Why? Because as the currency is corrupted, it becomes harder and harder for us to understand prices.
Farmers know what to plant because of prices. Industrialists know what to produce because of prices. You and I know what to invest in because of prices.
When the price mechanism is warped by the monetization of trillions in debt, the whole system is wrecked. It becomes harder and harder to succeed legitimately. And that desperation leads to gambling, prostitution, drug use, suicide, violence..."
Napoleon was living through this, too, by the way.
Again, he blamed religion... but Porter would argue a bigger problem was France's money.
They were in the midst of losing their reserve currency status, just as we are with the dollar today.
So, what should you do about it?
First, get the facts this weekend.
Most Americans used to spend about an hour at church on the weekend... now they spend 4 hours per day watching television.
Something is broken, and Porter can explain why.

Israel’s 23rd Day of War
By Sherwin Pomerantz
Israel entered the 23rd day of fighting with a press briefing by the government, the first time since the war started that the Prime Minister has faced the press. Netanyahu said in a Saturday evening briefing, “Last night (i.e.. Friday), additional ground forces entered Gaza, marking the beginning of the second stage of the war, whose goal is to destroy the military and political capabilities of Hamas and to bring our kidnapped citizens back. We are only at the beginning of the road. The war will be tough and long," the prime minister said. But he stressed, "We are prepared for it. This is our second War of Independence. This is our mission, our purpose in life, and together we will prevail."
During the Q&A Netanyahu was asked if he takes overall responsibility for Israel’s intelligence and security failures of October 7th? He declined to respond but in a post overnight Saturday, Netanyahu asserted that he had never received any warning about Hamas' intentions to start a war against Israel and blamed the defense establishment – citing Aharon Haliva and Ronen Bar, the heads of Military Intelligence and the Shin Bet security service – for Israel’s failure to anticipate the attack on October 7th.
Facing a barrage of criticism, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu deleted the controversial social media post on Sunday. The prime minister then published a new tweet, saying that he apologizes for his claims and that he fully backs the heads of Israel's security establishment.
National Unity Party Chairman Benny Gantz said that he believed the ground operation, alongside other efforts, could also advance the return of the now 230 captives.
Overnight Friday, Israel also took out several senior Hamas terrorists who played strategic roles in the planning of the October 7 Hamas massacre that killed more than 1,400 Israelis.
Two major Palestinian mobile networks, Jawwal and Paltel, said that their phone lines and internet services were down after the new strikes.
The U.S. Treasury announced new sanctions aimed at cutting off financing for Hamas, targeting its investment fund and Iranians who funnel money and support to the group. The United States estimates that Hamas controls $500 million worth of assets that it uses to finance terrorism.
The IDF announced on Friday that Shifa Hospital in Gaza City—the largest in the Strip, with more than 1,500 beds, 4,000 staff and people gathering in recent weeks around the hospital grounds as well—is cynically being used as a “shield for its underground terror complex,” said IDF Rear-Adm Daniel Hagari, the spokesperson for the IDF. The Gazan network of underground combat tunnels, dubbed “the metro” by the IDF, is often placed right next to sensitive sites like hospitals, mosques, schools and UNRWA installations as part of a deliberate doctrine by Hamas to limit IDF airstrikes. Pointing to a map of the Shifa Hospital at a press conference, Hagari said that Hamas conducts its command and control out of places like the X-ray room to plan terror activities like launching rockets.
“It is here in Shifa Hospital where Hamas operates its command-and-control cells. Hamas terrorists operate inside and under Shifa Hospital, with a network of terror tunnels. It also has an entrance to the tunnels from different places in the hospital,” said Hagari. “Right now, terrorists move freely at Shifa Hospital.”
Earlier today a new barrage of rockets fired from Gaza were destined for Tel Aviv, Herzlia and Ra’anana. In addition, trading of mortar fire continues with Hezbollah on the Lebanese border as well. World criticism of Israel’s bombing of Gaza continues to ramp up with Turkey’s Erdogan accusing Israel of war crimes. Israel, in retaliation for those remarks, has brought its diplomats stationed there back to Israel.
In an example of what happens here never stays here, there was widespread destruction of McDonalds outlets in Turkey, Egypt and Lebanon last week, fed by anger over the fact that McDonald’s Israel was supporting the war effort by providing hundreds of thousands of free meals to the troops who were mobilized by Israel to defend us.
Thankfully the spirit of the population here remains high, as does the morale of our troops. But there is, of course, great dissatisfaction with the present government that is being widely blamed for “falling asleep at the wheel” as it were in the runup to October 7th. It is difficult to see how the present government can remain in power once the hostilities end. Let us hope that they end soon and in our favor.

Washington Post, AP Interview Gaza ‘Journalist’ and Hamas Collaborator Who Snitched on Palestinian Peace Activists
Hind Khoudary, a self-described Palestinian journalist and former Amnesty International researcher, has been quoted in articles by numerous leading news organizations over the past several weeks. Since Hamas launched its savage attack against Israel on October 7, outlets including the Washington Post, the Associated Press and The Independent have quoted Khoudary at length on a range of issues, such as water shortages in the Gaza Strip and Israeli airstrikes.
By Rachel O'Donoghue
An October 18 piece by The Independent, for example, contained a video shot by Khoudary in which she purports to show the shortages of bottled water in a convenience store in the Strip.
Another article by the Associated Press bills Khoudary as a “Palestinian journalist” and details her view that the Israeli airstrikes targeting Hamas have “exceeded anything she had experienced over the past three weeks or any of the four previous Israel-Hamas wars.”
The message to readers is clear: Khoudary is a reputable journalist and a credible source of information.
But how credible would people find Khoudary if they knew she is a Hamas collaborator whose tip-off to the terrorist group once led to the arrest of a group of Palestinian peace activists?
In 2020, activists from the Gaza Youth Committee took part in a Zoom conference with a group of Israeli campaigners in which they discussed their daily lives and expressed their hopes for better Israeli and Palestinian leadership.
Khoudary informed Hamas of the meeting and all six members of the Gaza Youth Committee who participated, including its founder Rami Aman, were arrested on charges of “treason” and “normalization” of relations with the Jewish state.
While Khoudary denied she was responsible for their arrest, she also defended herself, stating: “I didn’t make a mistake. As a Palestinian, before I became a journalist, I am against normalization.”
But Amnesty International, which confirmed Khoudary had been employed as a freelance contractor, distanced themselves from her actions at the time. “We absolutely condemn arrests of individuals because of practicing their right to peaceful expression and assembly,” said the organization’s then-deputy director for the Middle East Saleh Hijazi.
A quick Google search of Khoudary’s name reveals her unpleasant history: journalists writing about Khoudary or featuring her in their pieces should know that she has collaborated with terrorist

Soros-Funded PAC Publishes Racist Ad Against Black Republican
A far-left super PAC that receives massive funding from Democrat megadonor George Soros has been running racist advertisements attacking a Black Republican candidate in Kentucky.
Black Voters Matter Action PAC published the ad against Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron, who is currently running for governor of the state. Cameron has demanded that his Democrat opponent, Gov. Andy Beshear, condemn the “racist and hateful” attacks against him.
The ad refers to Cameron as “Uncle Daniel Cameron” — referencing the racist “Uncle Tom” attack often used by Democrats against any Black person who disagrees with the left-wing narrative. The ad also uses another racist phrase, “Skinfolk ain’t kinfolk,” which is often used by Black leftists to argue that anyone who disagrees with their political views is a race traitor.
As Kentucky is scheduled to hold major elections next month, the left has ramped up its spending in the state — including spending on ads from organizations like Black Voters Matter Action PAC. The group has been holding many events in support of Beshear, who is the incumbent in the gubernatorial election.
The racist ad was run on WMJM Magic 101.3, an R&B station located in Jeffersontown, Kentucky.
In a statement to The Daily Wire, Cameron explained that he has been facing similar “racist attacks” from the left since he first entered politics.
“I never faced racism or discrimination while growing up or working in Kentucky until I decided to stand up to the national Democrat establishment,” Cameron told the outlet. “I don’t support their policies, so the Left attacks me for my skin color.”
“I believe here in Kentucky you shouldn’t be judged by the color of your skin, but by the content of your character. The same cannot be said of Joe Biden, out-of-state, radical left interest groups, and the national Democrat Party, who think you can’t be black and conservative. I never faced racism or discrimination while growing up or working in Kentucky until I decided to stand up to the national Democrat establishment,” the Republican candidate wrote.
Despite Cameron’s calls for his Democrat opponent to denounce the racist ad, Beshear’s campaign has yet to respond to the issue.
According to The Daily Wire, “Beshear’s campaign did not respond to a request for comment on the ad. Alpha Media, the company that owns the radio station, also did not respond to a request on its decision to air the attack ad. Attempts to reach Black Voters Matter Action PAC were unsuccessful.”
Filings from the Federal Election Commission (FEC) show that Soros has given Black Voters Matter Action PAC over one million dollars through his Democracy PAC.
Cameron has faced numerous racist political attacks over the years, including a political cartoon run by the Lexington Herald-Leader during his 2019 campaign for attorney general — which portrayed the Black Republican as riding the coattails of the Ku Klux Klan, which was depicted as former President Donald Trump in a white hood and robes.
