Elder Of Ziyon - The shtetl mentality is alive and well with liberal American Jews

European Jews were conditioned over generations to not make waves because of fears of deadly antisemitic responses to the slightest perceived provocations. This is the shtetl mentality, and it is one that Zionism worked hard to eradicate in Israel.

This fake “rabbi” teaches fake Judaism, literally progressivism as a replacement for Judaism, is anyone surprised that none of these people have the courage to stand up to antisemitic thugs?

Biden Praises 'Profound' Question Comparing Trump's Border Policies to Holocaust

Former vice president Joe Biden on Monday praised a woman at his Iowa campaign event for her "profound" question comparing President Donald Trump's immigration policies to the Holocaust.

When anyone on the left speaks about the Holocaust, they are doing nothing but exploiting the murders of 6 million Jews. That’s why it is so incredibly easy for them to invoke it anytime it will provide political points. Leftists don’t care about Jews (or blacks, gays, women etc). They care about one thing: power. This is a disgusting abuse of the memory of those we lost and does noting but lessen the impact of the type of true evil that the victims endured.
