It's all about the Benjamins:
Anti-semites typically claim that Jews only care about the $ (Benjamins) and they use that weapon to divide the people.
Therefore, Anti-semites believe that if you need the Jews to further an agenda or at least not oppose it, promise them Benjamins.
Unfortunately it works too well. Our JCC's, our Yeshivoth, our Security and our Jewish Organizations are funded from Democrat discretionary funding and we as a community are dependent on funding from questionable sources. Come election time, this dependency buys silence and votes. Democratic politicians who are anti-Israel, and or progressive leftists and socialists run unopposed or were endorsed by influential askanim like the FJCC when G-d fearing candidates who openly support Israel are sidelined.
In the Jan 2021 No Hate No Fear Rally in NYC, all the Democratic Leaders marched. Mayor Bill DeBlasio, Governor Cuomo and Senator Schumer among others. What were the Jews promised? $10 million to fight Anti-Semitism, $25 million to fight anti-Semitism, $160 million to fight Anti-Semitism!!!
What was their collective mentality? Throw the Jews Benjamins and Jews will then back the Democratic Party candidates even though the agenda of the Democratic party and their candidates betrayed Israel and G-dly values.
Will we wait for Common Core to be forced down our throats before we say ENOUGH? Children are being brainwashed to question their gender. If the entire culture is seeped with immorality won't it seep into our own culture as well?
These tactics of divide and conquer and self destruction worked especially well on Iran's behalf when it came to fighting a nuclear Iran under the Obama Administration.
Aren't all the reasons stated above sufficient to make an open stand to denounce, discredit and delegitimize the Democratic party?
Laws of Sodom and Gemorra are slowly being carved into law by a Democrat majority in the City Council and State Assembly.
Will security funding by itself do the trick if police hands are tied and criminals are allowed back on the streets and released?
Will NY gun laws that forbid New Yorkers to bear arms make it impossible for Shuls to have trusted trained armed members, former IDF soldiers for example, on site to help protect their congregants? The 2nd Amendment Right has been for all practical purposes castrated in New York City.
Benjamins for Jewish Organizations won't necessarily decrease the rise in Anti-Semitism and Crime.
On the other hand, smart common sense laws will reduce crime and take back the streets:
We need:
- Laws that don't allow dangerous criminals back on the street
- Laws that protects the victims identity from dangerous criminals,
- Good law enforcement
This approach has done miracles for deterrence!
Unfortunately in NY and other blue States, under Democratic Administrations, the opposite is true.
- The Bail Reform laws increased crime
- Laws that decriminalize misdemeanors increased crime
- Laws that legalize prostitution and weed increase immorality and drug use.
- Laws that legalize late term abortions calling it reproductive rights translated to murder of live babies.
- Laws that protect gender fluidity rights while endangering traditional protection between the sexes such as separate bathrooms endangered women.
- Laws that encourage illegal immigrants without vetting, increased crime and drugs.
- Laws that force citizens to provide dangerous unvetted criminals safe havens, are laws of Sodom and Gomorra. These are laws that increase crime and anarchy in the city.
How has the Democrat Party become the dominant party in New York in spite of its illegitimacy?
At this point in history, this reality is unfortunately difficult to fix.
It's been a process that has evolved over a period of time, over 30 years that convinced voters that they must register as Democrats. The argument was that Republicans don't have a chance in New York.
Meanwhile, the Republican party and the GOP looked at statistics rather than putting money into promoting G-dliness and Universal Morality. Those States that had a chance of winning for the Republicans got their candidates campaigns funded. Those States that "had no chance" based on raw data, did not. They looked at the numbers in New York. They saw that 68% are registered Democrats.
(This in fact was never an accurate representation since many Republicans are registered Democrats as per the narrative of community leaders that encourages right wing conservatives to register as Democrats).
Catch 22
These statistics in turn then encouraged a low voting turnout rate in NY for conservatives.
Not surprising if there are no good options for voters.
How did 58 out of 61 Democrat Councilmen win when 68% are listed as registered democrats?
This happened because we collectively had a defeatist attitude that Democrats can't be defeated in New York and we did not fight to win.
Republicans should have put up a good fight in NY precisely because the predominantly G-fearing Jewish population could have set the tone for throughout the Nation.
It was a lost opportunity.
When we fear G-d and are willing to sacrifice all the Benjamins, it's like the story of the Akeida, where Forefather Abraham tells his lads to stay with the Chamor, his material goods, the donkey, while he and Isaac go up to the Mountain.
Abraham is willing to bring his son Isaac up as a Sacrifice and in that merit, G-d accepted his sacrifice with a ram instead. That faith in G-d brought Blessings to Abraham and his descendants forever. The Nations of the world are Blessed through Israel for Abraham's sacrifice.
There are no guarantees in life other than doing the right thing. G-d's Laws are non negotiable.
The sad reality is that Torah Jews may have resuscitated a dying dangerous party that masqueraded as a legitimate party.
The Democratic party was gasping for breath. It needed someone to come along to resuscitate it to prove to others it's a legitimate party.
Along comes the campaign to register Orthodox Jews as Democrats...just the lifeline they needed!
After the State of the Union address by President Trump, The Democrats were exposed as a splintered party, whose leadership was either Marxist Socialist or Progressive Leftist. Bernie Sanders wasn't a real Democrat. He was a Marxist Socialist. Mike Bloomberg was a former Republican. The party was exposed as a Do Nothing party. They didn't help the poor, working Americans, nor the minorities and their only focus was to impeach President Trump.
President Trump and his Republican Administration eliminated evil leaders in Iran and ISIS and improved the economy and the lives of all Americans.
Yet we didn't capitalize on what was right.
The Bottom Line:
It's ever too late to do Teshuva! Sieze the Moment and..... EXODUS!!!
Chaim Deutsch, Kalman Yeger, Simcha Felder and Simcha Eichenstein and Dov Hikind were great public servants albeit DINOs. They should have united and announced a mass exit from the Democrat party.
The world is reaping bitter fruits because we, the Jews, didnt sacrifice the Benjamins!
This is the year to make amends and to take a step back and reflect.. It is a Sabbatical a Shemittah year. It is a year when we live on faith and depend only on the One and Only Creator of Heaven. and Earth for our sustenance! This is relevant not only in the Land of Israel. Shemittah is a Sabbatical year whose spirit permeates Jews and society at large globally.
Let us do an about face and start to empower those who are G-d fearing across our great nation and throughout the entire world.
WHAT A GREAT KIDDUSH HASHEM (sanctification of Holiness) this would be!
IfNotNow then when? A quote from the great sage Hillel that is not taken out of context!
