American Left Defends Anti-Israel BDS as "Free Speech"

LEFT WING PUSHES BACK AGAINST LAST-MINUTE EFFORT TO PASS ANTI-BDS BILL

While Democratic leadership supports the Israel Anti-Boycott Act, which targets US companies that join the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement against the Jewish state, two powerful senators in Democratic politics expressed their opposition to its passage on Wednesday....
Among the senators claiming that BDS should be protected as "Free Speech" are Jews, and no surprise that the extreme Leftist J Street also opposes the bill.

American Jewry on the whole are extreme in their unquestioning support of the Democrats and the Left. I don't think there's an actual Mitzvah, Torah Commandment they observe more than voting for Democrats.

Even today, when the 21st century Democratic Party has adopted policies that support the destruction/annihilation of the State of Israel, Jewish Americans have continued their unquestioning support.

It's no secret that most American Jews eat the Torah-forbidden ham and shrimp, besides not having a clue that there's a fast day mid summer called the 9th of Av when we mourn the destruction of our Holy Temple in Jerusalem. Intermarriage has passed the tipping point, and it is now the norm, except in the most Torah observant circles. It is also rationalized/justified with Leftist slogans of "equality" and "free speech."

American Jewry has become so pro-Left Democrat that many actually oppose the American Embassy in Jerusalem, davka, because it was opened by a Republican President. That's the proof that they have ceased to think as Jews; they are now religiously Leftist Democrats.

I'm saddened by this development. And I'm pessimistic. The future of the Jewish People is here in Israel, no place else. Europe and other parts of the world are no better for Jews to remain true Jews.

Here I am marching in the 1970 Salute to Israel Parade with NCSY, just a couple of months before making aliyah, moving to Israel. It was the best move we could ever have made, B"H, thank Gd.

GUEST POST: USA Jews vs British Jews

USA Jews vs British Jews
a guest post by Mr. Cohen

According to recent articles in the Algemeiner Jewish newspaper,
British Jews are leaving the Labour Party because of anti-Semitism
in that party.

When will American Jews wake up and leave the Democratic Party,
for the same reason?

GUEST POST: FORGOTTEN ANTI-SEMITISM

FORGOTTEN ANTI-SEMITISM
a guest post by Mr. Cohen
Quick historical quotes about about anti-Semitism that many
people forgot, listed in approximate chronological order.
Lest we forget why Jews need their own land, and army, and state.
____________________________________________________________
“Under a rule established by the Visigoths [who ruled Spain around
the year 700 CE], the Jews [in Spain] were not permitted to own land.”
 
SOURCE: The Secret Jews (chapter 2, page 19) by Joachim Prinz, year 1973,
Random House, New York, ISBN-10: 0853031851 ISBN-13: 978-0853031857
____________________________________________________________
“In [year] 1391 [CE], from his pulpit in the great cathedral of Seville,
[Ferdinand] Martinez [confessor of the Queen, and administrator of
the archdiocese of Seville, and a sworn enemy of the Jews] called for
the destruction of 23 synagogues in the city.

Whether the Church stimulated the bloodshed or whether it
only yielded to popular demand, we do not know. 

In any case, on June 4, 1391, the Jewish community of Seville
was destroyed by a mob that stormed the Jewish sectors and
burned the synagogues. 

It was the beginning of a storm which swept the whole country.”

SOURCE: The Secret Jews (chapter 2, page 25) by Joachim Prinz, year 1973,
Random House, New York, ISBN-10: 0853031851 ISBN-13: 978-0853031857
____________________________________________________________
“Moreover, if it was piety and deep religious conviction which
motivated the men of the Inquisition, it was a religious faith
that paid handsomely.  Every conviction meant not simply
heretics punished or reconciled but fortunes confiscated.
And the proceeds filled not only the coffers of the state
but the treasures of the Grand Inquisitors as well. 

It was common knowledge that the arrests and condemnations
of so many Marranos were not merely undertaken for religious
purification of these supposed heretics.  The income derived
from the judgment, whether the sentence was death or the
result reconciliation, was enormous. 

Many multimillionaires, even by today’s standards,
either died at the stake or in the dungeons. 
Others were released with minor punishment. 

But no matter what the verdict, confiscation of property was
a foregone conclusion. The accused all left the high tribunal
as beggars.  Perhaps this explains why the Inquisition, called
out of the past in the 1480s, maintained itself well into the 19th century.”

“In a glass case [in the home of Franz von Mendelssohn]  were the famous
white porcelain monkeys which every Jew had been forced to buy at exorbitant
prices in the middle of the 18th century to finance the Prussian porcelain industry
then being established by Frederick the Great [born 1712, died 1782].”

GUEST POST: JUDAISM UNDER ROME

JUDAISM UNDER THE ROMAN EMPIRE
a GUEST POST from Mr. Cohen

NOTE: The four quotes shown below are from Flavius Josephus,
who was born in year 37 CE and was still alive in 81 CE.

“It was known even to the Romans that they [the Jews]
did no work of any kind when the seventh day came around…”

SOURCE: The Jewish War (chapter 14, page 241) by Flavius Josephus, translated by G.A. Williamson, 1984, published by Penguin Classics, ISBN:  0140444203 ISBN:  978-0140444209 
____________________________________________________________
“The next day Pilate took his seat on the tribunal in the great stadium
and summoned the mob, on the pretext that he was ready to give them answer.

Instead, he gave a pre-arranged signal to the soldiers to surround the Jews in full armor, and the troops formed a ring three [Roman soldiers] deep.  The Jews were dumbfounded at the unexpected sight, but Pilate, declared that he would cut them to pieces unless they accepted images of Caesar, nodded to their soldiers to bare [reveal] their swords. 

At this the Jews, as though by agreement, fell to the ground in a body and bent their necks, shouting that they were ready to be killed, rather than transgress the Law [of the Torah]. 

Amazed at the intensity of their religious fervor, Pilate ordered the standards to be removed from Jerusalem forthwith.”

SOURCE: The Jewish War (chapter 7, bottom of page 138) by Flavius Josephus, translated by G.A. Williamson, 1984, published by Penguin Classics, ISBN:  0140444203 ISBN:  978-0140444209 
____________________________________________________________
“…Domitian [the Emperor of Rome from year 81 to 96 CE. He was the younger brother of Titus and son of Vespasian] was becoming more and more of a tyrant as his reign proceeded, hostile to converts to Judaism for their refusal to participate in the worship which he as a living emperor demanded…”

SOURCE: The Jewish War (introduction, page 17) by Flavius Josephus, translated by G.A. Williamson, 1984, published by Penguin Classics, ISBN:  0140444203 ISBN:  978-0140444209 
____________________________________________________________
 “At this time the people of Damascus, learning of the destruction of the Roman force, were eager to exterminate the Jews in their midst.  As they had them cooped in the gymnasium for a long time now, taking this precaution as a result of suspicion, the task appeared perfectly simple: but they were afraid of their own wives, who had almost all gone over to the Jewish religion, so that their chief anxiety was to keep them in the dark.”

SOURCE: The Jewish War (chapter 10, page 179) by Flavius Josephus, translated by G.A. Williamson, 1984, published by Penguin Classics, ISBN:  0140444203 ISBN:  978-0140444209

Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan taught:

“… [in the time of the Roman Empire] it is estimated that there were
over three million Romans who had converted to Judaism…”
