To the ignorant MAGA influencers claiming that Democrats didn’t take Shapiro because he’s Jewish, here is a reminder.

There are:

-

9 Jewish US Senators. ALL ARE DEMOCRATS INCLUDING THE MAJORITY LEADER

-

26 Jewish US Congresspeople 24 ARE DEMOCRATS

-

The Secretary of State is Jewish

-

The Secretary of Treasury is Jewish

-

The Director of National Intelligence is Jewish

-

Sit down and be quiet.

Either almost all Jewish politicians want to be Democrats or  Democrats are the only ones that will elect Jewish politicians. 

Pick your poison MAGA.

This is comical coming from the party that thinks Skin color or gender is a job Qualification. Look we voted for Jewish people we can’t be NAZIS! News flash if you voted for them because of their race, religion or gender that makes you no better than the people who vote against them for the same reason.

Why are 94% of the Jewish members of Congress Democrats ?

Because Jewish people who are politicians are smart enough to know virtue signaling douchebags will vote for them based on race, religion or gender. Plus location, location, location. Omar doesn’t get elected in San Diego but has a good chance in Dearborn.

So you are admitting that Republicans won't vote for Jews.

Because most US Jews are urban dwellers.

I wonder how much support Israel would have from evangelical "rural dwellers"  without the existence of the fundamentalist Christian dogma that asserts Israel is the key to understanding Bible prophecy.  To the religiously oriented "rural dwellers" the Jewish people are a means to an end.

I don't know.

I think US support started out of WW II guilt and the beginning of the cold war recognizing the oil reserves in the ME.

Also the US frequently likes the underdog and Israel was vastly outnumbered in the 67 and 73 wars but still managed to beat the stupidly led Arab forces.

94% of the Jewish members of the US Congress are either Democrats and/or represent "blue" states and districts. 

Pew Research: 118th Congress has 33 Jewish lawmakers - JNS.org

Obviously Jewish politicians dont believe they can get elected in red states or as Republicans in blue states.  That is an inescapable fact.

I use MAGA all the time, and very directly.  MAGA  IS  the Republican Party in 2024, and vice versa.

So since democrats are still focused on religion and race can we refer to them as the Klan? It has approximately the same meaning as MAGA does to you?

Probably OK since many of them still hold the same ideals

Sit down and be quiet.

Make us; but first address your anti-Semitic party members.

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy  (R-Calif.) Monday called on Democrats to “do something” about antisemitic remarks being made by members of their caucus, after Rep.  Pramila Jayapal  (D-Wash.) stirred up a firestorm for calling Israel a “racist state,” a comment she later walked back.

Asked about Jayapal’s comments — which were made during a progressive conference Saturday — McCarthy noted Democrats who have come under fire in the past for making antisemitic remarks, telling reporters “this isn’t the first person in the Democratic conference that has continued to make antisemitic comments.”

“We’ve watched what they have continually to do,” he continued. “There are a number of them over there. I think if the Democrats want to believe that they do not have a conference that continues to make antisemitic remarks, they need to do something about it.”

He specifically called on House Minority Leader   Hakeem Jeffries   (D-N.Y.) to “prove” that Democrats are not antisemitic.

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) has left many Democrats frustrated over his   plans for an antisemitism vote   that is proving divisive on their side of the aisle.

Why it matters:   Johnson has   put antisemitism front and center   this week amid   pro-Palestinian protests at colleges   around the country. But some Democrats argue he is wasting an opportunity.

State of play:   The House is set to vote Wednesday on the   Antisemitism Awareness Act , which would require the Department of Education to use the   International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance 's definition of antisemitism in its enforcement of anti-discrimination laws.

  • The legislation, led by Rep. Mike Lawler (R-N.Y.), is co-sponsored by 33 Republicans and 14 Democrats — mostly moderates and staunch supporters of Israel.
  • But controversially for many Democrats, the IHRA definition includes "claiming that the existence of a State of Israel is a racist endeavor" and "drawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis."
  • "It could be divisive," one senior House Democrat told Axios of the upcoming vote.

The latest:   House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.), in a   letter   to Johnson on Monday, wrote that "there is nothing scheduled on the floor this week that would accomplish the concrete, thoughtful strategies outlined by the Biden administration" to   combat antisemitism .

  • Jeffries urged a vote on the   Countering Antisemitism Act , a bipartisan bill with deeper support among Democrats to establish a national coordinator and an interagency task force to counter antisemitism.
  • "The effort to crush antisemitism and hatred in any form is not a Democratic or Republican issue. It's an American issue that must be addressed in a bipartisan manner with the fierce urgency of now," he wrote.
  • A Democratic leadership source told Axios there is frustration among Jeffries' leadership team about Johnson's decision to hold a vote on Lawler's bill.

What they're saying:   "I don't like that the Republicans, and some members of our own party, just keep bringing these things up and weaponizing what is a truly serious issue," said Progressive Caucus Chair Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.).

  • Jayapal, a   vocal Israel critic , added, "I don't see how it helps to bring up bills that are divisive on an issue like antisemitism … it feels to me like this is just being used to divide us."
  • Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), a Jewish progressive, told Axios: "A number of members have expressed to me their frustration that this is what's being presented instead of both bills."

A dozen Jewish lawmakers called on Ilhan Omar to "clarify her words", but the Minnesota representative slammed the group's "tropes".

This is not the first time that Ms Omar's criticism of Israel put her at odds with members of her own party.

In 2019, she apologised for implying money was behind support for Israel.

On Monday, Ms Omar tweeted that "we have seen unthinkable atrocities committed by the US, Hamas, Israel, Afghanistan, and the Taliban".

"We must have the same level of accountability and justice for all victims of crimes against humanity," she wrote, including a video of her questioning Secretary of State Antony Blinken during a committee hearing in the House of Representatives.

The row comes only weeks after hostilities in the Middle East ended in ceasefire and amid rising reports of anti-Semitic attacks against American Jews.

Almost makes one wonder why the AIPAC funnels the majority of their money to Democrats. Of course Republicans have to pass an Israel loyalty test before they are even allowed into the party.

The American Israel Public Affairs Committee has become a fundraising juggernaut in recent years, raising more money for candidates than any similar organization this cycle as part of its mission to back candidates who support Israel. It’s the rare political organization that still garners support from Republican and Democratic donors while supporting candidates from both parties. But its primary focus has been leveraging its weight in competitive Democratic primaries, spending millions to boost moderates over progressives who have been critical of Israel.

Guess the IAPAC is wasting their money and should only fund Republicans.

You were saying?

Trump garnered the support of 50% of likely Jewish voters in New York, according to a Siena Research Institute poll released Tuesday, a slight lead over Vice President Harris who garnered the selection of 49% of respondents.

While the lead for Trump is slim, it marks a dramatic change from the former president’s prospects against President Biden, who in June led Trump among likely Jewish voters, 52%-46%, in the state.

Cory Bush lost her primary, I guess being a Hamas supporter isn’t good for re-election. I wonder if snubbing a Jewish politician for VP to pander to the HAMAS wing of the party is swinging the pendulum as seen in the latest polls, maybe the Republican Party isn’t the one that needs to sit down and shut up.
