Prominent US Reform Rabbi Warns of Growing Anti-Israel Sentiments in Democratic Party.
Here is a Reform Rabbi sees the truth glaring at us.
Then there's the scary and terrible abuse of power within the Democratic Party that refuses to accept Donald Trump as President!
Trump, Israel and the Democratic Crack-Up - Caroline Glick
Wed Oct 30, 2019
Nearly every week, the Democrats reach new heights of radicalism. Israel has good reason to be deeply worried.
"...As former federal prosecutor Andrew McCarthy wrote in his book Ball of Collusion which examines the Russia collusion investigation, the liberal establishment in Washington, "exploited its control of law-enforcement and intelligence to help Clinton and undermine Trump. This is a scandalous abuse of power."
Caroline Glick points out that this radicalism smacks of third world and Civilization Jihad tactics, i.e. using the system to destroy itself from within...
But there is more...
....It is not only about anti-Israel Sentiments and Deep State radicalism.
Let me be so bold as to take a stand:
The Democratic Party has an unG-dly platform.
Ok! I am just a blogger and not a Non-Profit Organization so I don't have to worry about losing tax exempt status for taking a political stand as an Orthodox Jew.
BTW, the law recently signed by Governor Cuomo gives a clear political advantage to the Democrats.
NY Bars Nonprofits From Political Endorsements After Trump Allows it
Bottom line - Have we been complicit and slowly allowing the Democrats to take power while the Democrats have reached a majority in NY State Assembly? In the NYC Council there are 48 Democrats to 3 Republicans! These numbers make no sense! How did this happen when in NYC sixty-eight percent of registered voters in the city are Democrats? Using simple math what is 68% of 51? I'll save you the trouble. It's not 48 vs 3. It's 35 vs 16. And many of the so called Democrats in the Council are only Democrats because they have been convinced that there is no way they can win running on a Republican line.
To quote John Catsimatidis of 970am, NY now is a one State Party. This is very dangerous for democracy.
The Democrats scout and groom candidates with a leftist progressive agenda and run their campaign. That is how unqualified, unknown, inexperienced individuals with no resources get elected. They have far left progressive, socialist, pro Muslim, pro BDS, pro abortion, pro LGBTQ gender fluidity agendas. They are not challenged with credible alternative candidates from the Republican party who must rely on their own resources to run their campaign. These candidates do not in comparison get sufficient backing from the GOP, mainstream Conservative and/or Jewish Organizations. Unfortunately, we are resigned to lose with a defeatist attitude. Only 17% vote probably figuring it's not worth it
NY is now feeling the repercussions. There is recent legislation putting criminals on the street. NY is no longer has friendly business environment. Many are leaving NY in record numbers.
How did the NYC City Council become so radicalized?
It's a catch 22. The more registered Democrats, the less likely Republicans will even challenge the incumbent Democrats. The problem is that we have been brainwashed to believe NYC is an untouchable Democratic stronghold when in fact it's a self fulfilling prophesy.
Perhaps if those of us who ideologically are Republican gave it a fighting chance, we can even retake the NYC Council.
Mayor Guiliani after all was Mayor of the City of NY from 1994-2001. Not that long ago.

- How many Conservative Jews aligned with Republican values are registered as Democrats? Judging from my own circle of close friends there are many such registered Democrats who are actually Republicans in mind and spirit! So the 68% statistic is not a true reflection of the reality. Many Jews are registered Democrats for practical considerations as per the recommendations of community leaders who are dependent on Democrats for funding..

I think we are unfortunately being bought off at the expense of the will of the voters. The voters are really not happy with our local elected officials and their progressive values!
Is it now surprising that The Reproductive Health Act was passed in January 2019 decriminalizing late term abortions empowering Planned Parenthood etc.?
After Senate Democrats gained a majority in the State Senate in the 2018 elections,[9] they vowed to make the passage of the Reproductive Health Act a priority.[10]
Is it surprising that there is a significant rise in AntiSemitism and hate crimes in NYC?

We are very worried about Common Core Curriculum and the indoctrination of all NY kids including our own in private schools, in Yeshivas by the NYS Board of Regents. We are against wasting precious school hours teaching a curriculum we don't like and don't need and whose "values" are diametrically opposed to the teachings of our Torah.
Bottom Line. We are not registering as Republicans nor pursuing or backing Republican candidates...even when they were clearly pro Israel and share our wholesome values and ethics. Chele Farley vs Kirsten Gillibrand in the Senate race comes to mind.
The Democratic party is white washed on our front cover pages of our right wing papers rather than being exposed for who they really are in the links above.
The Rabbis and Community Leaders say just go and vote. Vote for whom?
Why are the Democratic party getting off the hook in spite of their hostility towards Israel?
Why?
Perhaps...As far as the media, Jewish right wing media receive financial support it desperately needs from Jewish institutions and organizations and JCCs who advertise in their papers and are funded by Democrats.
Worthy organizations receive discretionary funding and $90 million a year for Security and Stem benefiting Yeshivas, JCC's and other important and causes.
These Organizations risk losing this needed funding if they fight the Democrats openly.
Meanwhile our streets are becoming more dangerous as criminals are decriminalized....as we reluctantly partner with forces bent on destroying the moral fiber of society.
Are well funded programs worth it?

It does not help that the Jewish Republican Party Fundraising PAC like JExodus is following the Republican plan to fund primarily areas where Trump has a chance of winning. NY is a blue State and accordingly is a "lost cause" from this short sighted perspective and they will not invest money in such a State to help Republicans get elected when the chances of them winning is unlikely. But there is lots more here at stake.
By following this direction according to the letter of the law, we are making a very sad mistake. In NY, especially in a State where there is such a concentration of G-d's Chosen people, the message of Universal Morality should be screaming from the Hilltops along with the message From Zion Comes Forth Torah.
If Republicans want to strengthen their party across America, they should therefore invest in NY especially faith based institutions, their natural ally, and thereby strengthen a G-dly message coming from faith based Rabbis and not only from Christian Ministers.
When Jews are silent, it is a Chillul Hashem that allows the void to be filled with Radicalism.
Judaism and Zionism are very much intertwined and can not be separated. Our enemies are very aware and will therefore throw whatever juicy bones it takes to suppress a True Faith Stand here in NY... and we foolishly take the bait?
To be fair, I know there is a lot at stake....
The reality is that Jews can no longer separate their private religious lives with those of the society that surrounds them. Again to be fair, remaining H-ly and insulated has been the life saving modus operandi that has preserved the Jewish people in the Diaspora for 2000 years since the Destruction of the Temple.
But now as we approach Messianic Times the rules of the game have changed. We and our children can no longer be insulated with the alien culture that surrounds us. Like in the times of Noach, when a G-dless and corrupt society, coupled with immorality seeps into the very fiber of society, no one is immune.
It will take a deep purge, Chas Veshalom, G-d forbid, to cleanse such a society.... the likes described in the Tochacha. (rebuke portions in the Torah).
The time has come to actualize the very purpose of our Nation which is to be a Mamlechet Kohanim veGoy Kadosh. A Kingdom of Priests and a Holy Nation.
Christians have taken a lead in defending the Laws of Universal Morality consistent with the platform of the Republican Party.
Eventually, evil source of funding come to haunt us as it will corrupt and undermine all of our Torah that feeds off it.
It behooves a State like NY which has the largest concentration of Orthodox Jews to be at the forefront of making a Kiddush Hashem, a Sanctification of G-d's name and take a stand! We can no longer afford to remain silent or sit on the fence. The time has come, and we dare not miss it, to educate our own people and society at large, why the platform and agenda of the Democratic party is unG-dly as it defies the Laws of Universal Morality, the 7 Noahide Laws.
Anavim, Anavim...I know we are up to the task.
The ACLJ is fighting this battle. It is time that we as Orthodox Jews do so as well. Will we step up to the plate?
