Op-ed:
Why America’s Jews Must Vote for Trump…No Ifs, Ands, or Buts
By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots
November 8th…Election Day…is fast approaching and while the
candidates are busy pandering for votes, and with each candidate playing to
specific demographics at any given time promising each group what they want to
hear…Hillary Clinton is promising the blacks even more ‘free stuff’ and promising the
Hispanics who came here illegally that they will not only get to stay but that
no wall will be built to keep more of them out…while Donald Trump is promising those of us
on the right that he will build that wall and deal with the ‘muslim problem’ on
day one…a good thing I might add…but lost in this shuffle of the candidate’s
pandering to the blacks and Hispanics is the Jewish vote.
The Jewish vote…an important demographic often overlooked
and it should not be for while Jews comprise just 2% of the American
population, 90% of that 2% registered to vote make it to the polls, compared to
just 74% percent of all other Americans. And when you add in that in 2013, 70%
of American Jews were living in New York, California, Florida, New Jersey,
Illinois, and Pennsylvania…states whose combined 167 electoral votes make up
more than half of the 270 electoral votes a presidential candidate needs to win
the election…the Jewish vote can very well be the votes that sway their
respective states either into the red or into the blue column.
And yet with American Jews ranking at or near the top on
most measures of education, income, and so-called ‘prestige’ jobs (doctors,
lawyers, bankers, for example), one has to wonder why in the past they have been so
committed to the Democratic Party with all its liberal leanings. And the answer
to that is simply that American Jews as a whole have always been socially
conscious, as in being concerned about the welfare and well-being of the
underdog, because they know more than most other minority groups what it’s like
to be the victim of outright hatred, discrimination, and prejudice. Remember, with
liberalism being perceived by many as America’s social conscience, and with
liberalism always being the voice of the Democratic Party, Jews saw being a
Democrat as a comfortable fit…a fit I personally believe is and has always been
misplaced and misguided in its loyalty.
But
thankfully now there is a new faction of Jewish voters
who are voting Republican and doing so in fairly large numbers…as in
younger
Jews who do not affiliate with either party or who register as
independents but
who pull the Republican lever come any given Election Day. And in that
group resides a large number of ‘single-issue’ Jewish voters not unlike
their
counterparts in the Evangelical far right whose vote is cast based
solely upon
the social issues…but in the case of these Jewish voters they cast their
vote based
upon what is best for Israel in regards to America’s foreign policy
objectives.
In other words, more Jews are voting Republican because of two simple
words…‘Israel’
and ‘Iran’…and the lack of Democratic support for the former while they
embrace
the later.
Let’s start with Israel…during his two terms in office Barack
HUSSEIN Obama, with Democratic support, has caused U.S. relations with
Israel…our one true ally in the entirety of the Middle East…to sour…to sour to
such a degree that neither he nor the Democrats…and that includes Hillary
Clinton…can be trusted to stand by the Jewish state in a time of war let alone
in times of peace… or what passes for peace that is. And America’s Jews are finally
starting to see that a once slow stabbing of Israel in the back has now become
an outright full-fledged Obama led, Hillary condoned, and Democratic supported assault not
only on the Jewish people here at home…an assault not that very different from Obama's
and his administration’s assault on Christians…but also an assault against the Jewish
State of Israel itself…condoning instead of condemning the actions of those who
wish to wipe Israel off the map.
And as more and more American Jews are starting to open
their eyes to this above stated reality…a reality that is nothing less than the
abandonment of Israel…it sadly becomes ever more apparent by his words and actions… and
by the Democrats always voting as a bloc with him… that Barack HUSSEIN Obama, the
kumbaya left, and Hillary Clinton herself are outward supporters of all things islamic…all
things ranging from the Obama so welcomed Muslim Brotherhood infiltration of our government; to
the appointing of persons to positions of power who are most decidedly anti-Semitic;
to Obama’s unwillingness to even utter the words ‘islamic terrorism;’ to his
and the Democrat’s laying out the welcome mat for more of those ‘unable to vet’
anything but Middle East refugees to come to our shores…and Hillary is all in
favor of bringing them here…in fact both she and Obama want to bring them here
in even higher numbers than originally announced.
And none of that will change with a Hillary what amounts to
a surrogate presidency. Things we Americans hold dear…things like individual
liberties, freedom of speech, religious freedom, free enterprise, and the rule
of law that promotes equal justice for all…not just a free handout for a chosen
‘who will vote for me’ few…will be abandoned to be replaced by a true socialistic
welfare state with decidedly islamic leanings…as in a Hillary presidency will be Obama’s third term in office.
And
as to anti-Semitic appointees that will surely continue
under a Hillary presidency…just look at who her top adviser and BFF
is…as in
the infamous Muslim Brotherhood operative Huma Abedin. And Hillary can
always
keep John ‘Swiftboat’ Kerry on as her Secretary of State if she so
chooses…they
are good buddies after all…for he is second only to her as a world class
anti-Semite... and
Hillary’s having a Jewish in name only son-in-law means not a thing for
many anti-Semites surround themselves with the very people they so
abhor.
And while labeling someone an anti-Semite is not something
to be taken lightly, in Kerry’s and Hillary’s case the designation is quite
fitting. Remember, John Kerry was the very man who publicly claimed that the
expansion of Jewish settlements in the West Bank may be the very thing responsible
for the continuing attacks by Palestinians on Israelis…as in Kerry’s portraying
of Israel as the perpetrator and instigator against the poor and so
misunderstood Palestinians (and I say that with all sarcasm intended)…misunderstood
Palestinians who lob rockets into Israel on an almost daily basis. And yet has
Hillary said a word condemning or calling to task the Palestinians about this…not
a word to that affect has ever crossed her always lying, islamic-condoning lips
and never will.
And let’s not forget that Hillary never condemned Kerry’s
words pertaining to the then still in negotiations but ultimately failed peace talks
between Israel and the Palestinian Authority over the creation of a Palestinian
state…a Palestinian state that Kerry, Obama, Hillary, and the Democrats called to
be created out of yet another piece of the tiny sliver of land that is Israel. And
with Kerry’s words being a decidedly calculated threat against Israel…a threat with
words to the affect that if the then ongoing ‘framework’ peace talks between the
two opposing sides failed, Israel would be the receiver of, among other things,
violence, boycotts, de-legitimization, and isolation that have sadly come to
fruition as Kerry, Obama, and of course Hillary, sit back and smile as they
give a wink and a nod to their Democratic cohorts.
Also to be remembered is John Kerry’s fairly recent words before
the Trilateral Commission mere days after PLO President Mahmoud Abbas signed
what he himself called a
“unity deal” with
Hamas…lying hate-filled vile words…threatening words that if Israel does not
“cut a deal” with the Palestinians and
does not do it soon, Israel will either cease to be a Jewish state or it will
become
“an apartheid state.”
Yes…those were the words of our Democratic Secretary of
State…threatening words that reeks of hatred for the Jewish state…hatred
morphing directly into anti-Semitism for the Jewish people and for Israel. And of course
nary a word to the contrary was spoken nor was a calling Kerry to task given from
Hillary, Obama, or their fellow Democrats. And how Jews can still vote for
Democrats or even consider voting for Hillary Clinton is beyond the scope of
imagination.
And
Barack HUSSEIN Obama himself…a follower of islam
contrary to his saying that he’s a Christian as his actions prove
otherwise…is an
even bigger anti-Semite than is John Kerry. One case in point…Obama used
our taxpayer dollars to fund numerous anti-Netanyahu campaigns and
propaganda rhetoric during
Israel's last elections and Hillary knew about this but kept her mouth
shut.
And let’s not forget where this administration’s and the Democratic
Party’s loyalties
lie in both the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and in regards to outwardly
supporting
anything even remotely islamic-related that goes against Israel and
especially against Netanyahu himself …with the ‘very bad’ nuclear deal
immediately coming to mind. Remember,
BiBi warned us, in an address to Congress, that Iran could not be
trusted to
abide by any decision reached, and events of late with Iran
circumnavigating
certain parts of Obama’s ‘very bad’ deal have proven his words to be
true.
Also important to remember is that Hillary Clinton was the
chief architect of this ‘very bad’ deal while it was still in its infancy so in
no way would she ever condemn what she gave birth to…and that means in her eyes
Israel be damned.
And now because of the above stated reasons…and more…the
Republican Party is rightfully seeing an influx of Jews joining the party…Jews
who are bucking the long-standing tradition of Jews voting Democratic because
they understand that the only chance for Israel not to be thrown to the wolves by
Hillary and/or her fellow Democrats is to vote and elect Republicans to ensure
Israel’s, and of course America’s, not just security but survival as well. And only by Jews voting for Donald
Trump on November 8th can that very thing be accomplished.
As to specifics as to why Jews should vote for Donald Trump…reason
one, Donald Trump says that his number one priority is to dismantle Obama’s ‘very
bad’ nuclear deal with Iran…Hillary Clinton not only says she supports this
agreement that has, in her words, put “the
lid” on Iran's nuclear program but that it keeps Israel safer. And all I
can say is 'no it does not' and Hillary knows it but has willingly chosen, along
with her fellow Democrats, to once again abandon both America’s Jewish
community and Israel itself.
Reason two, Hillary Clinton, just like Obama, has no love for Benjamin
Netanyahu and has joined with Obama in snubbing, insulting, and chastising the Israeli Prime
Minister on his many trips to America. Remember back to 2010,
when VP Joe Biden visited Israel at the same time Israel announced a new
housing initiative…well...Hillary was furious about this…so furious that she personally
called Netanyahu and read him the riot act…calling Israel an impediment to
peace in the region…a phone call that was witnessed. And at AIPAC Hillary said,
"Everyone has to do their part by
avoiding damaging actions, including with respect to settlements," in
other words screw Israel and Netanyahu.
And in 2012, Hillary Clinton…anti-Semite that she is…told
the Saban Forum that Israel needed to do more to “demonstrate that it understood the pain” of the Arabs…as in Israel
is the aggressor and the Palestinians are the victims. And to again jog your
memory, Hillary supported Obama when he banned flights into Ben Gurion airport
during the last (and always ongoing) war, held up arms shipments to Israel, and
spoke of some Israeli actions in Gaza as “totally
indefensible.” And Huma must have been by Hillary’s side every step of the
way to cheer Hillary's words on.
Now let’s contrast this with but a few of Donald Trump’s stances
on Israel and Iran…first, Trump has always been a strong defender of the Jewish
state and at last year's Algemeiner Dinner, Trump proudly stated,
“we love Israel 1000%!” In
fact, Donald Trump said that the U.S. will unequivocal support Israel and
recognizes Jerusalem as
“the eternal and
indivisible capital of the Jewish state," something Hillary refuses to
say.
Second, Trump also commits America
to
"ensuring Israel maintains a
qualitative military edge over all adversaries," a critical must as
this tiny country is surrounded by enemies. Third, Trump has publicly
called-out both Obama and Kerry for
“selling
out” Israel while at the same time telling the Israelis that they
should keep building settlements in the West Bank as long as the
Palestinians refuse to abandon terror and refuse to negotiate a peace
agreement. Fourth, Trump has a positive relationship with Benjamin
Netanyahu.
In fact, and this is something most do not know, but in 2013, Donald
Trump
taped a video endorsing Netanyahu’s candidacy that was played on Israeli
TV.
And fifth, Trump opposes any measures intending to impose an agreement
or to
dictate Israel’s borders other than by Israel herself.
Bottom line, on November 8th, Jewish voters have a critical decision
to make and it goes beyond just who is best to serve as President of these
United States…it also crosses into the realm of who will stand by our ally
Israel and who will come to her aid not if but when Iran tries to wipe her off
the map. And know that person is not Hillary Clinton for there is no love for
Israel or for the Jewish people within her being. Jewish voters must understand
that only with Donald Trump as president does Israel have a chance of not only
surviving intact, but in surviving at all…surviving in this tangible world of
those working towards their goal of returning the entirety of the Middle East
to the Levant…and know that in the Levant there exists no Israel at all.
