I watched Shapiro on Colbert the other night and he's too religious for me. I really don't need a presidential candidate blabbering on and on about his "faith".
I'd hold my nose and vote for a supporter of Israel. I'm not a two dimensional character.
Also forgot to mention Pritzker is Jewish too. --------------
I reject the premise that "anti-semitism is on the rise". Israel is committing the worst atrocity I have witnessed since maybe Rwanda, and I have a friend who dug up the bodies in Srebenica.
"talk about Epstein being part of the world wide Jewish cabal" ??? What the fuck are you even talking about?
brooklyn13, Whether or not antisemitism is not on the rise in the USA is arguable, but criticism of Israel genocidal policy is on the rise. And that is being promoted as antisemitism. And Trump's friend, the Heritage Foundation, is pushing much of that. You should understand more that is what you are being sucked into to support:
Whether economics or other, Krugman - "Paul Krugman Must Read: We're All Rats Now" - knows what he is talking about:
"The fact is that the Trump administration already contains a number of figures with strong ties to antisemitic extremists. The Great Replacement Theory, which has de facto become part of MAGA’s ideology, doesn’t just say that there’s a conspiracy to replace whites with people of color; it says that it’s a Jewish conspiracy. It’s short, so read the whole thing and share it. The warning lights are blinking red. It’s not a coincidence that ICE is slated for a massive budget boost in the One Big Ugly Bill."
Project Esther and the weaponisation of Zionism "Trump’s disregard for US constitution ‘a blitzkrieg on the law’, legal experts say" [...] A conservative project to allegedly counter anti-Semitism is using a pro-Israel stance to mask white nationalist goals. [...] The conservative think tank is the same force behind Project 2025, a blueprint for consolidating executive power in the US and forging the best-ever right-wing dystopia.The “national strategy” proposed by Project Esther .. https://www.aljazeera.com/opinions/2024/11/15/project-esther-a-trumpian-blueprint-to-crush-anticolonial-resistance – which is named for the biblical queen credited with saving the Jews from extermination in ancient Persia – basically consists of criminalising opposition to Israel’s current genocide and exterminating freedoms of speech and thought along with a whole lot of other rights.
The first “key takeaway” listed in the report is that “America’s virulently anti-Israel, anti-Zionist, and anti-American ‘pro-Palestinian movement’ is part of a global Hamas Support Network (HSN)”. Never mind that, in reality, there is no such thing as a “global Hamas Support Network” – just as there is no such thing as the HSN’s alleged “affiliated Hamas Support Organizations (HSOs)” that the Heritage Foundation has also taken the liberty of inventing. Among these alleged HSOs are prominent American Jewish organisations such as Jewish Voice for Peace. [...] Now, if the Trump administration seems to be taking Project Esther and running with it, it is more out of concern for propagating a white Christian nationalist agenda that utilises Zionism and anti-Semitism charges to its own extremist ends. And this, unfortunately, is just the beginning of a far more elaborate project.
[...]Who Is Leonard Leo’s Mysterious Dark Money King?
America needs to know who Barre Seid is, what kind of country he wants, and just how massive an impact his $1.6 billion gift can have on our political discourse. [...] Leo is a proud “Knight of the Sovereign Order of Malta,” and his long career has been motivated by fanatical opposition to women’s rights to reproductive choice. Since Seid handed the money over in 2021, part of the pile has been funneled into black boxes like Donors Trust, a mega-donor money-washing machine. Having succeeded at subjecting American women to forced pregnancy, Leo, 57, is directing the money toward other goals: stopping “woke” culture, ending federal regulations on climate change, and limiting voting rights. Ultimately, Seid’s money will be used to shore up society’s winners—the American oligarchy, inherited trusts, CEOs, self-made billionaires, corporations—against the demands of the weak. It will be used to make the United States a tougher and, for many, a nastier country, where big money always wins, under the eye of Rambo Jesus.
All that from a man nobody knows. [...] During those years, Baer encouraged Seid to deepen his support for Israel, introducing him to a project that connected Israeli right-wingers with American evangelicals, so-called Christian Zionism. Seid then became a generous donor to Israeli causes. In 2011, he traveled to Israel with his wife to accept an honorary degree from Bar-Ilan University for “supporting those organizations which will fortify Israel’s position in the world.” A photo from the award ceremony is one of the few publicly available pictures of Seid.
