Face it, Jewish liberals: You have no friends on the left

On Monday, the New York Times allowed a top columnist to stain its pages with obviously fake stories of Israelis using dog rape to abuse Palestinian prisoners.
That same day, masked Islamists marched through Jewish neighborhoods in Brooklyn, assaulting Jewish kids.
Jewish liberals, ask yourselves: Where are your friends?
For decades, most American Jews have been committed readers of the Times and reliable Democratic voters.
In the late 19th century, Jews were part of Tammany Hall's immigrant coalition.
Jewish labor groups lined up behind Franklin D. Roosevelt for the New Deal, and marched in every civil rights movement since.
They voted blue no matter who.
And all they have to show for their slavish devotion is a single Fetterman.
What a mistake.
It wasn't just individuals: Jewish organizations, too, have spent a century aligned with the Democratic Party.
Even now, Daniel Rosen, president of the American Jewish Congress, makes sure to note on his X bio that he was a board appointee of Presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden.
This week, he went out of his way to forcefully condemn Rep. Jen Kiggans (R-Va.) for agreeing with a radio host that House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) should "get your cotton-picking hands off Virginia."
Rosen's on the team.
But where's the rest of the squad when he needs them?
Where are Obama and Biden to condemn Jew-hatred?
Where's Jeffries to thank Rosen for his support, and offer his own?
They're absolutely nowhere.
"What was said about Hakeem Jeffries was sickening, racist, and completely unacceptable," Rosen tweeted — even though Kiggans herself didn't speak the objectionable words. "Hate has no place in our politics."
Except it does: Hate very much has a place in our politics, and that place is largely within the Democratic Party.
See: Graham Platner, the Democrat running for US Senate from Maine while sporting a (now-covered) Nazi tattoo.
The Anti-Defamation League, which sticks its fingers in its collective ears rather than condemn anyone on the left for antisemitism, can manage nothing but a limp response to Platner's rise — calling news of his totenkopf ink "troubling," but giving him an absurdly large benefit of the doubt and asserting the candidate didn't know of the tattoo's "hateful association."
The ADL offered a similarly tepid not-quite-condemnation of New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani for his silence after Monday's pogrom on the streets of Brooklyn.
"Where is Mayor Mamdani?" the group pleaded in a tweet. "Jewish New Yorkers deserve a mayor who will stand up for them without hesitation."
Well, they don't have one. Now what, ADL?
Meanwhile, the ADL is fulsomely expounding on the drunken tirade of William Paul, the adults son of Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), who spewed Jew-hatred at (non-Jew) Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) in a bar this week.
The younger Paul is disgusting, and stupid, but he's also not a public figure or running for office with a Nazi tattoo on his chest.
We've also learned that the Times, which has already offered three separate clarifying statements about the dog-rape column and is facing a libel lawsuit from the state of Israel over it, refused an early chance to report the findings of the Civil Commission on Oct. 7 Crimes by Hamas against Women and Children.
The commission's report, the result of a multi-year investigation, found horrific abuses of Israelis by Palestinians.
It reviewed over 10,000 photos and thousands of hours of video and talked to over 400 witnesses; the Times took the word of just a handful of questionable sources.
Where is the outcry from liberal Jews, saying they'll never read that slop again?
Or from their absent friends, saying they won't allow vicious lies like that to be spread?
This is not a both-sides issue.
Only one half of our political divide is standing in silence.
On the right this week, non-Jewish influencers, podcasters and politicians have been pushing back on the lies and the violence targeting Jews.
CNN commentator Scott Jennings called the Times piece "a journalistic atrocity that I actually feel stupid reading out loud" and said everyone involved should be fired.
Radio host Buck Sexton, after reading the Civil Commission's report: "Given the demonic realities of Oct. 7, Israel acted with considerable restraint in its Gaza campaign, and should be commended for it."
Harmeet Dhillon of the US Department of Justice tweeted video from the Brooklyn riot and promised to "collect evidence and analyze potential charges."

And sure, there are antisemites nominally on the political right, Tucker Carlson infamously among them.
But so many non-Jews in the conservative world — President Trump, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), commentator Victor Davis Hanson and a host of others — have lined up against Carlson's foul suggestions that his influence on that side of the aisle is sinking like a stone.
That's just a tiny sample of voices on the right speaking up for Jews, regularly and often.
Who on the left is doing the same?
This week's silence should be humiliating.
It should be clarifying.
It should, at last, wake up those Jews on the left who care at all about self-preservation — or that of their children.
It's long past time to leave this one-sided alliance behind.

This is the opinion column of the month, and MS Markowicz has said it all.
The warning for American Jews is in plain sight.
... yeah, by maga sycophants. nick fuentes and charlie kirk ring any bells?
funny how maga always seems to try to either alienate and/or coerce american jews by attaching them to israeli jews. like they consider american jews as only temporary visitors here. I assume it has something to do with their warped xtian notion of governments being subordinate to religion as the uniting force, a concept common across all 3 abrahamic religions that operate within or towards establishing theocracies. maybe christo-fascists are hoping that jews have the same defective memories as they do when recalling the driving force behind jews persecution throughout history. corrupt bibi enjoys about the same fractional amount of support from israeli jews as his corrupt war criminal and child molesting partner in the white house does now with american voters.
the only thing evangelicals care about jews is that there's enough of them left breathing to bend a knee in the end times. times that they are so desperate to kick-start, before the rest of the planet wakes up and exterminates them. hopefully bibi causes our next congress to take a hard look at his regular US welfare checks and make him officially join the nuke club and get regular inspections as part of any iranian peace deal, while we cancel the visas and open travel policies and deport the israeli ultra nationalists that supported bibi here. then we can go to work on the bibi lobbyists and a dozen or so israeli organized crime families allowed by trump to launder their criminal money here thru their businesses.
for the maga label makers, by blood I'm a jew and didn't find out until I was in my 40's, but I was raised protestant until the age of 14. then I recognized organized religion for what it was, a business that made, sold, and delivered nothing, a scam and a fraud. as an american first, I despise equally the abrahamic religions as a pox on the planet that have collectively caused more damage than they can ever undo. I consider almost all extremist bible slappers, rug sniffers, and foreskin pruners as the embodiment of evil on earth and richly deserving of meeting their alleged maker as soon as possible, for the betterment of mankind.
It's because many MAGA conservatives are also Zionists who believe that the Jews are just 'temporary residents' who need to go "home" aka repatriated to a country many haven't lived in for several generations. And they want this all so the Zionists prophecy can come true. In their minds Isreal is the promised land of the Jews and America is the promised land of conservative Protestant Christians, and the Jews have to be on the 'plains of Megiddo' for Armageddon to begin which is when white conservative Christians believe their God will come and wipe out all their enemies (aka any Jews who don't accept Christians as the new chosen people along with all the liberals, progressives, gays, transgender, queer, binary, Hindu, Muslim) and anyone who doesn't kneel before white conservative capitalist Jesus.
Looks like Fuentes s a democrat now. He believes the same anti semitic crap many leftists do.
Nick Fuentes tells supporters to ‘vote Democrat’ in 2026 after turning on Trump over Iran strike - The Economic Times
Of course, this is not true, but there have been many left wingers calling for the deaths of ALL Jews.
Nick Fuentes aligns himself with left wing beliefs.
After a lengthy record of rightwing rhetoric and supporting Trump for years, this douche is supposedly a leftist now because he turned on Trump?
What a fucking joke.
... as if the maga stench just rinses right off. nick is just trying to fill charlie's shoes and I hope he fully succeeds ...

When Trump told native born Americans (the squad) to go back to their own country, what did you say? Im sure you were agreeing with him. ( Of the current seven members of The Squad in the U.S. House of Representatives, six were born in the United States , and one was not . The only member not born in the U.S. is Ilhan Omar how many of "the squad" were born in the united states - Search )
Many people who are not on "the left" believe Israel has gone too far. That doesnt make them anti-semitic , it makes them perceptive. I am 100% for ending anti-semitism, anti- semitism is an absurd and evil use of the brain, but opposition to some of the actions of Israel is not anti-semitism.
The article you seeded is nothing but an attempted hit piece on the Democratic Party.
Trump is off topic.
As far as the lame excuse of simply being anti-Israel, that falls flat when one sets up a set of standards for Israel and nobody else.
The anti-Semitism of the left has become far too obvious and now rivals that of the Rev Farrakhan, Jessie Jackson, Malcom X, Ilhan Omar and Hakeem Jeffries uncle. The Dems even have a Nazi running for office in Maine.
What has gone on at universities and in the city of New York under Mamdani is blatant anti-Semitism.
Face the facts.

Takeaway: U.S. right‑wing antisemitism shows up most clearly in conspiracy theories, extremist movements, political rhetoric that uses antisemitic tropes, and violent incidents tied to far‑right ideology. These patterns are documented by research organizations and historical analysis. (As always, confirm political information with trusted sources.)
🇺🇸 Major forms of U.S. right‑wing antisemitism
Below are the clearest, well‑sourced examples, each linked so you can dig deeper.
1. Far‑right extremist movements
Groups involved in the January 6 attack included neo‑Nazis, white supremacists, and QAnon adherents — all of which promote antisemitic conspiracy theories. QAnon in particular blames Jewish public figures like George Soros for imaginary global plots.
2. “Great Replacement” and demographic conspiracies
The 2017 Charlottesville rally featured the chant “Jews will not replace us,” a direct expression of the far‑right belief that Jews are orchestrating demographic change in America.
3. Antisemitic conspiracy theories in mainstream rhetoric
Right‑wing political discourse sometimes uses dog‑whistles about “globalists,” “Soros control,” or “shadowy elites,” which echo classic antisemitic tropes about Jewish manipulation of politics and finance. Researchers note these ideas have migrated from fringe spaces into broader conservative media ecosystems.
4. Politicians invoking antisemitic tropes
Examples include:
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s “Jewish space lasers” claim, which invoked a classic trope of Jewish global control.
High‑profile Republicans hosting or associating with white supremacists who openly espouse antisemitism. These incidents are cited by the American Bar Association and American Jewish Congress as part of a broader pattern.
5. White supremacist ideology and historical lineage
Modern right‑wing antisemitism draws on older traditions:
Henry Ford’s promotion of The Protocols of the Elders of Zion
1930s–40s far‑right movements blaming Jews for economic crises These ideas remain foundational to today’s extremist groups.
6. Online radicalization and alt‑right spaces
Alt‑right forums, podcasts, and meme culture spread antisemitic narratives under the guise of “irony.” The process of “redpilling” often includes introducing newcomers to antisemitic conspiracy theories.
7. Antisemitism linked to political violence
A 2023 ADL–University of Chicago study found that Americans who accept multiple antisemitic tropes are three times more likely to support political violence, including violence to restore Donald Trump to the presidency.
🧭 Why these patterns matter
Right‑wing antisemitism in the U.S. is not limited to fringe extremists — it spans online culture, political rhetoric, and violent mobilization. Research shows these beliefs correlate strongly with anti‑democratic attitudes and support for political violence.

Asking Big Brother to define "conspiracy theory" won't cut it.
Can anyone dispute what MS Markowicz said?
Gaslighting what we are seeing before our eyes!
The hell it isnt.
This is the kind of garbage you are always eager to post -
Didn't she answer that?
Republicans call it out on their side. The Dems have adopted it
I hate to say it but the democrat party has become a weird mix of DEI, Marxism, Socialism and anti-Semitism.
I just want to know how long liberal Jews will ignore it?
Actually I prefer the words of the Harvard President who was forced to resign
Then why haven't you condemned Iran and all it's proxies for making that sort of thing the standard?
I would never deny that there are anti-semites on the left, but I do doubt anti-semitism is a "leftist ideology". Anti Israel is a left wing ideology for some, but to find anti-Jewish (as an ethnic group) you have to look at the right.
The argument being put forward is that it has overtaken the democrat party. It is not about both sides or the past. It has become embraced by party leaders.
Were you expecting anything different from those who wear desperation like stinky cologne?
And didn't you get the rightwing conservative memo? Democrats are antisemite Muslim-lovers and also violent domestic terrorists who attacked a Mosque the other day and tried to run over an ICE agent with their car and dared to have a gun at a protest! Transgender people being able to live in the open! Gays getting married! Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together… mass hysteria! /s
Let's face it, some tired confederate-loving bigoted conservative pieces of shit should just be ignored and let dry out, that way they can stay white forever.
"White Power!"
Tell us about the recent anti Jewish protests in NYC
I can't really, I wasn't there. But I do recognize how dishonest the question is framed. Are some protesting Israel's actions? Yes, they have been killing a lot of people lately whether you believe it justified or not. I heard about the Anti-Zionist protests last week and there are MANY American Jews out protesting Israels actions along with their fellow Palestinian Americans. The anti-Zionist movement has nothing against Jewish people or their faith. It is against some people's interpretation of biblical prophecy that is being used to drag America into another unnecessary war in the middle east all to stroke the aged sacks of poorly educated bible thumpers. But of course, those bible dumb fuck bible thumpers would never admit to such so they have to frame it in a way that makes themselves look like the victims.
Brought to you by the SPLC, the left wing group that pays right wing groups to do shit so they can blame right wing groups.

He already explained it; because most people who identify as Jewish vote blue or Democrat.
That is enough for most on the far right to hate them.
Karol Markowicz is an enigma.
Having emigrated from the USSR, her father, an MD in Russia had to drive a cab in Brooklynn, her mother made traditional Russian yarmulkes for the judaica store.
It's hard to believe the level of her hatred for the Dems is so intense
but that is the case with extremists, even the Jewish ones.
Face it, Jewish liberals: You have no friends on the left!
The Dems have adopted it now and they adopted it big time.
Silly memes and pictures aren't much of a rebuttal.
Tell us about the anti-semites in the Mamdani administration
There is no need to rebut fact-free moronic opinion. But it is rather humorous to see some conservatives flail around in this kiddie-pool of horse shit looking for a pony.
The facts are that your mayor is an antiSemite.
Is he yet able to condemn the statement " Globalize the Enfitada?"
You don't know who my mayor is, I do not live in NY City.
No clue and don't care. Are his constituents happy with what he's done so far as mayor? Is he balancing the budget and working together with the community and reaching across the aisle to get things done? Those are the questions I'd be concerned with, and so far, it seems he's doing a pretty good job and NY'ers seem pretty happy with him, all except those with their heads firmly stuffed up Donald Der Fuhrers ass. Those folk are clearly out trying to pit Muslims and Jews against each other, pushing anti-Muslim anti-American pro-bigots messaging like trying to falsely claim that Jews have no friends on the left.
Lol... Who cares how bigoted he is... Progressives like him so he's great!
These people criticize MAGA as being intolerant and then openly admit they don't care about racism so long as the approval rating is high among progressives (and it's only 48%).... Priceless...
On the backs of the rest of the state thanks to Hochul, who needs NY loon democrat votes to get reelected, and also on the backs of NYC pensioners. Not to mention other smoke and mirror techniques.
New York City as well as New York state is required by law to have a balanced budget. It will be interesting to watch to see what the impact is down the road as tax revenue decreases due to the businesses and money that has left the city.
Yes, praising a mayor for "balancing the budget" is like praising a mayor for breathing. All mayors balance the budget. Not all get billions in bailouts to do so.
No they haven't, that's just what you want to happen, you are living in a fantasy world, Vic.
Far right wing groups don't have to do anything these days as the mainstream left wing is more than making up for anti semetic actions for both groups.
Thanks for the insight.
If you say so. It does seem like the far-right wing groups are trying to keep their heads down, while at the same time trying to frame liberal's stance against genocide of Palestinians as being antisemitic which is of course what total lying piece of shit antisemitic far-rightwing religious conservatives would do. Sadly, some conservatives who aren't total piece of shit bigots believe that bullshit and carry water for them. It's quite sad and I feel bad for those poorly educated conservatives who aren't able to tell the difference between those who support peace but are anti-genocide and the scary strawman fiction rightwing conservatives created of some Jew hating liberals dancing in the streets shouting, "Death to Israel!". Seems like the only winners in creating this fiction are the actual antisemites. You know, all these white conservative confederate monument defenders chanting "Jews will not replace us!" that the conservatives dear Leader called "very fine people".
I did.
Nice rant and thanks for making my point
Jews can't hold public meetings at the DNC convention because of concerns over violence from their own delegates. And that was before they started rallying around a Senate candidate who wore a literal SS tattoo.
Jews might think they can be Democrats, but the day when they can do so without publicly denouncing their religion is coming to an end pretty quickly. If they want to be politically viable they'll have to mimic Lander in New York and visits mosques and publicly read the quran as prayers are offered to kill infidels. Total humiliation is the price.
