Rant #3,757: WTF!

You know, sometimes you just have to throw up your arms and hands in disgust and just fuggedaboudit.

I just read an article about the rising popularity of Zohran Mamdani, the socialist, anti-Semitic frontrunner in the New York City mayoral race.

The most disturbing thing about this is that Mamdani's popularity is not only rising, it is rising among--

Jewish voters!

Although he is an avowed anti-Semite, demonstrated numerous times that he supports the Palestinians, Hamas and the obliteration of Israel, his popularity among Jewish voters is actually elevating in the Jewish community.

A recent poll from Zenith Research found Mamdani leading the field among Jewish voters with 43 percent support. 

The poll showed particularly strong numbers among younger Jewish voters--67 percent--as well as reform and secular Jews--55 percent.

Even among more conservative and Orthodox respondents, he registered 21-percent support.

I do believe that the Jewish population votes by party, not by candidate, and since they traditionally vote Democrat, they would probably vote for Adolph Hitler if he was running as a Democrat.

Sorry to say, but true.

Not only that, but their hatred of President Trump is also clouding their vision.

I don't know why they despise him like they do, as he is a firm supporter of Israel, but I think that hate dovetails into their support of the Democrats, no matter who that party chooses as a candidate.

Finally, I do believe that New York City's Jews are so assimilated into American society that they are pretty much Jews in name only, and they have as much connection with their religion, and to Israel, as, well, their preferred candidate does. 

And yes, that is shocking.

How can Jews even consider voting for this garbage?

I do believe that many Jews mistakenly believe that they are immune to the anti-Semitism that grips this country, and the world, and sometimes, the Jews, themselves, can be the world's most virulent anti-Semites, self haters that truly believe that they may believe that they are Jews, but they don't even know what that means.

Some younger voters, fifth and sixth generation Jewish Americans, have absolutely no link to their ancestors who came here at the start of the 20th century, and thus, they have no clue how important Israel and their own Jewishness  is.

World War II and the Holocaust are as much ancient history to them as the Crusades are, and their Jewish connection is severely limited, especially when Jewish celebrities in entertainment, sports and politics do not speak out about what is happening, positively representing the Jewish population.

Blacks, for instance, vehemently state that they enjoy seeing people of color making it on areas that perhaps they did not have access to in previous generations, and Jews, particularly younger Jews, need to see fellow Jews out front and center, but they simply do not see that.

Where are the Jewish role models? Hiding their Jewishness, of course, because it is sonehow bad to be Jewish right now.

On top of that, like others in their age group get their news from ornery sources, and even if they get their news from supposedly "legitimate" sources, that media has skewed their propaganda to be pro-Hamas and anti-Israel (re: New York Times, CBS), and many young Jews, like their peers, have no thought processes to discern what is actually right and what is actually wrong.

Mamdani is so out in front of the other candidates that it is almost a forgone conclusion that he will win.

Can you imagine this anti-Semite being the mayor of the city with the world's largest Jewish community outside of Israel itself?

Well, it is going to happen if things stay the same as they are, and the city's Jews can thank themselves for his upcoming victory 

This report actually came out of the blue, because Mamdani's lifetime of anti-Israel and anti-Jewish rhetoric has pretty much been swept under the rug while the media focuses on other things he says he wants to do, including having free buses and opening city-run supermarkets.

But with everything free he is offering the ignorant and extremely stupid voters of New York City, you have to think one concept has been also swept under the rug, and that is called--

"FREE-DUMB."

Have a nice weekend, and I will speak to you again on Monday.
