J.D.Vance says that “If (they) beat up a Jew and don’t face consequences, their attacks will continue and get worse.” Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu says we’re in “a clash between barbarism and civilization.” By the time Jews are standing in the ruins of the Warsaw Ghetto, it will be too late to learn who their friends are.

Early last week, Fox News reported Siena’s latest finding: New York’s Jewish voters were 50% Trump and 49% Harris (well below Biden’s 65% of 2020 vote). Later, the Jewish News Syndicate put Trump’s national share of Jewish support at just under 50%. Democrats will, of course, dismiss this data – until America’s 5.8 million Jewish voters show up in MAGA hats on Election Day.
When’s the last time a Democrat vigorously defended FDR’s Four Freedoms; freedom of speech and worship, and freedom from want and fear? Why did they drive Joe Lieberman, the first-ever Jewish VP candidate, out of office for hardline support for Israel and the War on Terror? Why’d they mince words as pro-Hamas rioters burned American flags, and go mum as Penn’s president denied on-campus hate crimes? How’d America’s Jews go from aggrieved identity group to privileged whites?
Success that took their issues off the front burner, and merit-based achievement that undermined the oppressor-victim narrative of today’s Democrats. When Europe’s Jews willingly assimilated, super-achieved the American Dream, and did it without affirmative action, they dispelled the underlying myth of identity politics; minorities can only get ahead with government programs. It also didn’t help that pan-Islamic activists, who oppose Israel’s existence, now freely operate across the US
No question, Jews have been rebranded as privileged whites by identity politicians. Like Barack Obama, who dismissed merit by telling entrepreneurs they owed their success to government assistance, not “being smart” or “working hard” as individuals. Who spent US tax dollars to oust Israel’s hardliner PM Netanyahu in 2015, while endowing Iran with terror dollars in the nuclear deal. When he schemed with VP Harris to end President Biden’s re-election, could he have been any more anti-American and untrustworthy?
That was Obama after October 7 urging aids to “take in the whole truth of Israel” and telling reporters “nobody’s hands are clean” (source: New York Times)? His words, and he replaced Biden with a Jamaican socialist’s daughter who cried “I see you, I hear you” to pro-Hamas rioters, spurned Netanyahu’s speech to Congress, and says she’s “open to the request” for an arms embargo on Israel. Is any Jew – here or in Israel – safe with Obama’s Democrat Party in charge of law enforcement and national security?
Hamas is gunning Jews down, Harvard is selling Jews out, and Harris isn’t exactly Golda Meir. If Jewish Lives Matter, they need to start voting their self-interest like Black Lives Matter. Why wouldn’t Jews vote 75% Republican to ensure their self-interest (safety)? Because, with 75% of the Jewish vote, the GOP could flip the presidency, four Senate seats, and ten House seats
Jews have the numbers in five battleground states (AZ, GA, NV, PA, WI) to swing the presidency. Look at the 2020 data table below: with Biden’s Vote Margin, Biden’s Jewish votes, and Total Jewish voters in each state (data source: Brandeis University, and state election records).
| State | Biden Vote Margin | Biden’s Jewish Votes | Total Jewish Votes |
| Arizona | 10,457 | 47,300 | 86,000 |
| Georgia | 11,779 | 42,120 | 78,000 |
| Nevada | 33,596 | 38,500 | 70,000 |
| Pennsylvania | 80,555 | 138,450 | 213,000 |
| Wisconsin | 20,682 | 27,720 | 42,000 |
In 2020, winning only 25% of the Jewish vote would’ve cost Biden 25,800 votes in Arizona, 22,620 in Georgia, 85,200 in Pennsylvania, and 46 electoral votes (i.e. Trump wins Electoral College 278 to 260). That math makes the Jewish vote all-important in 2024. Further, Jewish voters are clustered in 21 House districts, and they can easily flip 10 DEM seats to the GOP (as they did in NY-4 in 2022) if they vote their self interest. To wit, they just ousted Squad Member Jamaal Bowman in NY-16’s Democrat primary.
Statewide elections for US Senate is probably where Jewish voters can wield the most influence (see table), flipping four battleground senate seats where Democrats have lost support between the 2018 midterms and today’s polls (Rasmussen). Their candidate’s support has fallen from 50% to 44% in Arizona, 50.4% to 45% in Nevada, 55.7% to 46% in Pennsylvania, and 55.4% to 47% in Wisconsin. The GOP now has 51 seats all but sewn up. Swing-state Jews can create a Kamala-proof Senate.
The key driver here is self-interest, as in elect the law-and-order candidate. America’s Jews have forever experienced more hate crimes than other religious groups (source: ADL data) and it’s not getting better. To wit, in the 90 days after October 7, there were 3,291 anti-Jewish hate crimes; a 360% spike that annualizes to 13,164 attacks on Jews. Compare that to 3,424 anti-Black hate crimes for all of 2022, and ask why Harvard’s president needs “context” to recognize anti-Jewish hate speech.
Same reason Kamala Harris thinks using the phrase “radical Islamic terrorism” is hate speech; left-liberals obsessively believe white supremacy is the root of all evil. They’d see a micro-aggression if I corrected Ilhan Omar’s English, implicit prejudice in those who want to retain “Washington & Lee” as the name of America’s ninth oldest university, and Jim Crow 2.0 in photo-ID voting laws. It is time for choosing sides, so let’s make it real here.
A hate crime is a man screaming “Free Palestine” and “Kill Jews” while trying to break into a Jewish family’s home in Los Angeles (10-25-2023), not Ilhan Omar’s classmates observing her “otherness” in high school. Sorry about Omar’s feelings, but her plight was not so dire as the Jewish family’s. Our leaders must know the difference.
Victory this year will be razor thin. It’s time for Jews to vote their self-interest, and choose life and liberty
