Gee, that sounds an awful lot like what the German Jews were saying as Hitler began his rise to power. No, I'm not saying there will be another Holocaust here in the US, but when the mayors of cities under siege express support for the rioters and trash their own police and tell them to stand down as their cities are looted and burned, when the Democratic Party, which controls the House of Representatives expresses support for the rioters and their explicitly racist agenda and when the major news outlets all try to bolster the outrageous and acts and speech of these violent fascists, one can only wonder what would happen if the BLM movement had a leader as charismatic as Hitler.RE: 'Biden told US Jews that Israel - not America - guaranteed their security'
SUBTEXT: BLM

BLUF: Normally I would agree with Caroline Glick; but in this case, I think she is giving some bad advise.
(COMMENT)Caroline Glick: American Jews must stand up to structurally anti-Semitic BLM
Allyson Rowen Taylor, a co-founder of StandWithUs, shared an account of the riots in which they chanted, “F**k the police and kill the Jews.”
The silence of the Jews of America in the face of rising anti-Semitism is stunning.
My thought is that the Jewish People should NOT get involved in the Black Lives Matter (BLM) as other than a supporting American. They should not draw a connection between the BLM and any Jewish Support Coalition or Association.
While almost all Americans can agree with the premise behind BLM, they will disagree with the protests and rioting as a means of valid political activism in support. And the BLM has a narrow view, in that it should be "ALL Lives Matter." Because in point of fact they do. The Black community is not unique to this premise.
Eventually, the violent Protests and the Rioting will subside. And you do not want to entangle and Jewish interest in the BLM. Why? (RHETORICAL) Because the BLM will not be remembered for the cause for Black Civil Rights, it will be remembered for the violence and disturbing news videos recording the Black Community at that time. And you will not want that stigma attached in any way to the cause in the name of Israeli Defense or the protection of Jewish religious freedoms in regards to the Jewish National Home.
This is just my thoughts on the matter.
Most Respectfully,

You claim that most Americans support the premise of BLM, but what is that premise? That masses of black people are being murdered by police? Or other white people? Of course that's racist nonsense. Nearly every black person murdered in the US is murdered by another black person, and in all but a few of the cases in which a black person dies while confronting the police, that person is a violent criminal who is resisting arrest and his or her death is clearly accidental. Don't confuse BLM with the civil rights protestors of the 1960's. Those protestors had clear goals, the end of institutionalized racism in America, and those goals were clearly achieved in the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Right Act of 1965. Today's protests have no clear goals and no legitimate complaints.
Every night when I turn on the evening news, I see at least two or three shootings and in nearly every case both the shooter and victim are black. What I don't see on the news is BLM protestors marching through the streets of North Philadelphia or West Philadelphia where these shootings take place protesting the loss of these black lives. Obviously, the only black lives that matter to BLM are those they can blame on white people. How did such an obvious anti white, anti semitic racist scam gain the support of the Democratic Party, the major news media and the leadership of Americans Jewish organizations?
Originally, BLM was just another radical fringe organization that had almost no following among black Americans until Barack Obama went down to Ferguson Missouri to falsely accuse a white cop for murdering Michael Brown, a young black man. All the eyewitnesses, most of whom were black, had corroborated the cop's statement that Brown had attacked him and tried to take away his, but Obama called it murder, and in his rants against the facts, specifically endorsed BLM. Once Obama endorsed BLM, the Congressional Black Caucus endorsed them and now the whole Democratic Party and nearly all the news media has, also. Far from your claim that BLM will only be remembered for its violence, it will be remembered as a major cultural and political influence in the early 21st century.
