American Jews on the Brink of Civil War: The "Jexodus" is happening and long may it thrive!
American Jews on the Brink of Civil War | Roger L. Simon
03/22/2019 ~ By Roger Simon
After decades of tilting left-liberal in the most conventional sense, something may be brewing among American Jewry that could result in real change, if it doesn't start an internal civil war. The day Donald Trump announced the recognition of Israeli control of the Golan Heights is the same day it was reported that none--that's zero--- of the many 2020 Democratic Party presidential candidates would be speaking at or attending the AIPAC (America-Israel Public Affairs Committee) annual meeting later this month.... MoveOn.org had urged on them to avoid the conference, which has historically bent over backward to be welcoming to Democrats, and the candidates complied like dutiful lemmings. The spokesman for Bernie Sanders, the one Jewish candidate (if you exempt "independent" Howard Schulz who also is not coming), said Bernie was not attending because of the prevalence of people "who oppose the two-state solution" between Israel and the Palestinians. This is an outright lie since virtually no one at AIPAC opposes the two-state solution. In fact, most of them yearn for it. But to Bernie, whose admiration of the Soviet Union is well known, such unashamed dishonesty is just more ends justifying the means. The truth is of little significance, nor is it of interest that it is the Palestinians who, if recent history is any indication, have no interest in the two-state solution. If they had had such an interest, they would have had a state of their own years ago.
Meanwhile, the same Democrat Party could not find it in itself directly to confront Rep. Ilhan Omar's overt anti-Semitism and chose to water down their condemnation in some vague pseudo-even-handed pabulum about opposing all discrimination.
All this is happening while Donald Trump has been the most pro-Israel president since Truman, who first recognized the state. Indeed, Donald may have passed Harry, moving, as he did, the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem (the first president to honor that pledge) and walking away from the Iran deal that did nothing for peace and only allowed the mullahs to wreak havoc in Syria and Yemen and continue to threaten Israel with annihilation. Trump also placed restrictions on the funding the Palestinians used to provide pensions to terrorists and their families.

When you punish people who are feeling chronically, irrationally guilty, they tend to embrace you even more avidly. It is emotionally devastating for most to finally act rationally.
Bath House Barry Obama lured the Democrat base into thinking anti-Semitism was cool. It’s NOT. But when you stop and think about it, his agitation and radicalization.
Some may believe this all began with the former president. The Political Left has been playing Radical Chic games with Islamic terrorism since Jimmy Carter's administration, more shame to them. Many may have forgotten Barry's direct interference in Israel's elections during his tenure.
How can we forget the late night deliveries of pallets of American dollars shipped to Iran by Obama, which partially went directly to fund Hamas and the PLO.
