Hatred for Israel has swept the left at all levels, and the right is not immune: “‘We are just getting started’: Midterm blowout normalizes anti-Zionism in Democratic politics,” by Luke Tress, Times of Israel, November 5, 2026:
Michigan’s Jewish attorney general, Dana Nessel, exemplified the dilemma in August during El-Sayed’s campaign when she urged Jews to “place the needs of the world above even our own self-interest and, yes, even our own survival.”…
Dana Nessel’s remark was idiotic: a kind of tikkun olam (the Jewish imperative to “heal the world”) on steroids and stilts. Jews, she claims, have to “place the needs of the world above…even our own survival.” Really? Now why is that? Are Jews to vote in people like El-Sayed, who refuses even to concede that Israel has a “right to exist”? What surpassing good will come to the world now that Abdulrahman El-Sayed will have a bully pulpit in the Senate from which to spew his venom not just at Israel, not just at Jews, but at all non-Muslims? How does Dana Nessel think El-Sayed’s election will be so beneficial for the world that Jews must simply put aside their own vital interests and vote for someone who is clearly their mortal enemy?
Anti-Israel policies are already playing out on the local level. A series of municipalities in New England have advanced anti-Israel measures in recent months….
The municipalities that have passed BDS measures against Israel include Cambridge and Somerville in Massachusetts, Thetford in Vermont, and Providence in Rhode Island.
We did not have to wait long for senior Republican, Vice President JD Vance, to blame Israel for the Republican Party’s defeats. Vance’s thought process goes like this: Trump would never have attacked Iran had he not been susceptible to the Svengali-like powers of Benjamin Netanyahu. But why would he have had to succumb to the wiles of the Israeli leader? Trump had, and still has, every reason to try to prevent Iran from being able to produce nuclear weapons. For 47 years, the Islamic Republic has been declaring its hatred of the “Great Satan.” Its government-organized demonstrations have always included the burning of American flags at least as often as it has Israeli flags, and “death to America” is shouted just as often as “death to Israel.” Iran has made clear that it hopes to remove American bases from the entire Middle East. Iran’s nuclear program is not just aimed at Israel, but also at the leader of the world’s Infidels — as the Iranians see our country — that stands in the way of Muslims attaining their ultimate goal: a world where “Islam is to dominate and not to be dominated.” And Iran has recently been boasting of its ability to produce ballistic missiles that can hit Europe.
The crackdown alarmed some American Jews, and critics said Republicans were using antisemitism as a pretext for pursuing their progressive foes. The pressure campaign had an effect, though, sparking conversations about leftist institutions and shifting campus politics.
Can anyone deny that the House Subcommittee on Education and the Workplace hearings, which the redoubtable Virginia Foxx headed until recently, did yeoman’s service in exposing the criminal indifference of university leaders to the upsurge of antisemitic acts on their campuses, which caused several of the offenders to resign?
Right now, the anti-Israel cabal of DSA members and far-left Democrats is convinced that it is now unstoppable in its campaign to cut Israel off at the knees. I think that they are wrong. Their victories merely reflect rage over the cost of living, unspeakable corruption, and a president who has become a laughing-stock with his greatest-in-the-world ballroom, never-equalled triumphal arch, surpassingly beautiful reflecting pool, unbelievable world-class Washington golf course, and other such inanities that occupy so much of his time and mind. When the first anti-Israel legislation is voted on in this new Congress, we will see if these implacable enemies of the Jewish state manage to have their way, or if common sense and decency prevail.
Rick Gordon says
May your view be dominant. Today our nation’s media has moved rapidly into the ‘blame Israel and hate Jews’ camp.
Your comments on the Michigan Secretary of State are perfect. Michigan Jews who followed it are ‘useful idiots’.
Beans🫘 says
Yes Rick. This is the future of politics and I’m not exaggerating. Everything will be about Israel. The left and the right will be attacked from their own side if they support Israel and will be knocked off one by one.
The regular sheeple are really into this stuff. It’s all over social media, and all the political podcasts in unison bash Israel all day, and blame USA and Israel for everything. Our sheeple obviously watch what’s out there and they go with it. There is NO pro Israel content. NONE of any noteworthy, it’s been obliterated by the radical left, mainly the Islamists, and the woke right. Ben Shapiro lost 80 percent of his audience.
These are the realities we must face in the upcoming elections. Also our politicians who support Israel will have to make choices very soon. Supporting Israel will simply not work, even states like Texas have gone mad. Mississippi, Alaska.
People need to get a f-ing life and stop talking about Israel all day. Go get some damn air.

Having recently spoken to many fellow conservatives, as well as reading the opinions of many other conservatives I do not know personally, it has been striking to me how much JD Vance has fallen in their eyes. I would include myself here too.
James Lincoln says
Wellington,
I agree.
I do not think that JD Vance will be the Republican US Presidential nominee in 2028.
I’ll go out on a limb and say that it is likely to be current Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.
And his state of Florida resisted the nationwide Democratic blue wave…
Wellington says
Hello, James. I think JD Vance is out though I wonder if Vance by now knows this.
Well, two years from now is a long time and much can change but right now I think the Republicans’ best bet is either DeSantis or Rubio, though at present I have to wonder if any Republican can win the Presidency in 2028.
As an aside, though I believe a very important one, I wish America right now had a Margaret Thatcher type who is very prominent. A very electable conservative woman would arguably be ideal for the Republican Party right now but there are none in sight.
And yes, Florida did resist the blue wave but not by much and this in and of itself is of concern. If Florida can be close for Republicans, what the Hell. And there there is Mississippi, which is just as puzzling—and bad.
I have zero doubt that the modern Democratic Party will do anything to retain power, including packing the Supreme Court, bringing in DC and Puerto Rico as states, doing away with the Electoral College (and this would be extra stupid), et al. Again I state that there is no way an informed and patriotic American can or should remain a registered Democrat. All reasons for doing so have been exhausted.
GE says
Maybe Rubio 2028?
Thoughts?
James Lincoln says
Wellington,
Thanks for your reply.
100% agree.
Beans🫘 says
Florida did not resist the blue wave. They won by one measly point. And that point will disappear once demon rats begin sending serious money down there. They didn’t think they’d come within ten points so they left all the Florida candidates out to dry, only to lose by one.
As far as Vance, he will be the red Jimmy Carter should he get elected. Screw him. I was a major supporter of Vivek, until he showed us his true colors on H1B job theft. So screw him too. Give me DeSantis… for now.
somehistory says
Upon winning again, ilhan the snake elmi, alias in fraud omar, shouted the ‘ackbra’ thingy, showing why she is here.
It’s going to be a short “prevail” as it is an evil thing from satan, original serpent, the devil has a “short time” to finish expressing his “great anger.”
Ezekiel 38-39 will cut it short.
jewdog says
If Osama bin Laden could be resurrected and ran as a Democrat, I’m confident that a lot of Jews would vote for him. It’s the Mirror Image Fallacy, projecting their own history of rejection and discrimination onto an inappropriate subject.

Even our own survival. Speak for yourself hon. Dana is a person living in America but not an American. The population of Jews in America is about 7.7 million. Of that 70 percent vote democrat. The population of muslims in America is about 5.5 million. Of that perhaps 100 percent vote democrat. The population of the USA is about 349 million. At least half that are not democrats. That is 175 million. Lets say two thirds of that are firmly anti democrat. That is over 116 million. Congratulations sugar, you have made enemies of 116 million Americans, or more. All to appease 5.5 million jihadists in the USA. Dana is not playing with a full deck she is many cards short of a full deck.
