The article points out that anti-gun are only the Reform Jews in America. The rest, from Orthodox to secular, are pretty much for self-defence knowing from the quite recent events of 20th century that not a single nation will stand for them other than themselves and now Israel.
“Jews vote overwhelmingly for candidates that favor disarming the public and attack the 2nd Amendment”
Not only that, I suspect more than a few Jews also endorse “progressive” DAs like Alvin Bragg in NYC, who release violent criminals and prosecute victims who defend themselves, like 61-year-old Jose Alba, the bodega clerk who was violently assaulted and killed his 35-year-old attacker with a knife. The fact that his attacker had a rap sheet with 27 prior arrests, including assault made no difference to Bragg. If Srula Chaiton or Mushka Lowenstein were forced to defend their congregants, I can’t help but wonder who would be charged first, them or the assailant.
The left has an affinity for criminals. To the left they are victims of an unfair society and we all know how the left loves victims. They side with the thugs and ignore the real victims of crime.
It puzzles me how anyone can vote for the rainbow and unicorn party. All of them vicious nut cases who claim to be the compassionate party and curse anyone who disagrees with them.
If you don't believe me just look at that squirrel comprof. He won't debate you but he sure as hell will curse you.
I like keeping that troll around because it displays the power and utility of truly "free speech", something that the more "progressive" sites do not allow.
NYC 'enlightened' Jews is an aberration, literally. The same in LA. Peace and prosperity has blinded them to life truths and they prefer to live in an imagined Pollyanna. Their parents and grandparents must have shielded them from reality or outright lied about their experiences outside of America
This has always been a mystery to me as well. Same with blacks. An urban single mom trying to make a place for her family and who wants to defend herself runs smack dab into the anti gun left.
In my experience with the Jewish community, I have found that mainstream Jews really don’t like Orthodox Jews and vice versa. Mainstream Jews are embarrassed by the insularity of the Orthodox and the Orthodox are dismissive of the Mainstream Jew’s lack of any actual religion.
The mainstream think they are safe from anti Jew hate because they are not as easily visually identified as the Orthodox.
Sadly I don’t see the CPA down the street suddenly starting to pack but I hope I am wrong.
You’ll see a similar discord between American Left-leaning Jewry and the Israelis. The Israelis are brash and outward about our right to survive and fight for who we are. The left leaving America Jews prefer to hide in plain sight and “pass” for white. My bias here is that I’m an Israeli American, but I stand by what I see :)
Our entire system is structured to force any third or fourth or whatever parties into the existing two. We may need to restructure how we do representation unless something changes.
And yet Jews vote overwhelmingly for candidates that favor disarming the public and attack the 2nd Amendment. A conundrum.
Religious Jews overwhelmingly vote GOP and conservative
I have never understood why Jews vote for the antisemite party (Dem/Soc).
It’s a enigma wrapped in a mystery!

I agree.

Not the more orthodox Jews. As the article says, there is a divide in the communities.
💯

Am Israel, I call them soft Jews we don’t need them, they running from themselves, let them keep running Israel has their backs as well!
Totally agree. As an Israeli friend once told me- there is nothing like an existential threat to keep you focused on the right priorities.
It beggars belief at times.
