OT: Jews finally rebelling from the antisemitism of today's radical left

A movement is forming called Jexodus, which encourages those of Jewish faith to question their loyalty to the Democratic Party. As those of the Jewish faith know all too well, antisemitism is alive and well in many nations on this earth and all it takes is the fanning of the flames to embolden bigots to commit unspeakable atrocities, like the recent killings in Pittsburgh. When a political body cannot even prevent or condemn antisemitic hate speech from one of its own members, a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee no less, then how much longer will it be before that hate speech multiplies and turns into something dangerous on a massive scale?
The movement is kicking off in NY and FL and will then move to other states with substantial populations of Jewish people. Below is a link to their website:

Our society, as a whole, has become too polarized in what we tolerate. Then you have the DNC, who tolerate anything one of their caucus has to say, but will not allow a single utterance from right of center to pass unchallenged. Aided by a criminally complicit media, none of this hypocrisy is reported.
But the faces of the country and the parties are changing. The Republican Party has no tolerance for race hatred anymore, trying hard to make its base more diverse. Similarly, the religious right has become much sympathetic to those of Jewish faith since the rise of the radical Muslim menace over the last two decades. All of this has freed up Trump to do things like move the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem and extend the hand of friendship to the Jewish people. Conversely, as Muslim supporters continue to make inroads into the Democratic Party, it is quickly becoming a much less welcome place for Jews.
We shall see how this goes. For those Jews who view themselves as American first and Jewish a distant second, which sadly is a staunch majority of American Jews, I doubt that much will change. But the millennials and other younger Jews don't carry all of the same ingrained baggage and history that older Jews do, so this movement may be successful in swaying some of them to question their allegiances. we shall see.
On the whole old Jews love Israel unconditionally and young Jews in America don't feel that loyalty.
The PC crowd, however, is determined to make sure that America cannot move past the issue of race and obsessively harps on it. Nobody gives a flying fuck about race except for extreme PC liberals and extreme rightwing neo nazis. But the PC crowd is determined to find the tiniest little things and call it racist like microaggressions and cultural appropriation. Apparently they're so determined to find racism in you that they will call you racist for CELEBRATING another culture. Its unbelievably absurd.
CC99, the problem is that American society has viewed being a white male as normative, everything in society has been portrayed through their eyes. The thing is you can't simply get rid of disadvantages without getting rid of advantages, and white American males don't want to give up their advantages.
As far as racial tensions being on the rise. The problem is that the US has never had a candid national discourse on race. White privilege allows whites to not have to know what minorities go through on a daily basis. That disconnect is the problem.
The advantages are institutional.
I do fully believe that there are advantages to being born in a certain socio-economic class. Being born rich, whether you're white or black, has advantages. But the idea that white people living in trailer homes out in bumfuck West Virginia have privilege over black people doesn't make any sense.
There are advantages to having money.
Fucking retard.
Also, keep in mind that historically, race has been a euphemism for social class in the US. Ie "white trash" is viewed as "trash" for not being middle class and accepting said norms. So their whiteness is tarnished by their lack of fitting into the myth that all you need in America is hard work to make it. Coz for the most part, American national identity is ideological, based on the myths of the American dream and the delusion of American exceptionalism.
The whiteness of poor Europeans was also questioned. Each new group of immigrants was portrayed as an "other" in contrast to Americans' perceived whiteness... Italians, East EUropeans, Jews, the Irish....all were viewed as non white at one point due to their different religions and most importantly not fitting in with White Anglo norms.
For old Jews Israel is The political issue. For young Jews it's a issue and complicated.
Based on demographics the Kushner era of Republicans and Jews may be a blip. And Israel has reason to be worried about the future of American support.
