One of the Frummest Jews I ever knew in my entire life, a man
whose heart is filled with Yirat Shamayim, a man whose mind
knows all of Shas and all of Shulchan Aruch, told me a few years ago
that the Frum Community “values form over substance”.

In other words, the Frum Community prioritizes what people look like
on the outside, more so than what people are on the inside.

The most crooked businessman would be admitted to that minyan, if only he wore a hat and jacket.

The most honest businessman would be thrown-out of that minyan, without a hat and jacket.

This does not surprise me, after 40+ years of dealing with Orthodox Jews.

There is a specific uniform that Orthodox Jews require,
and they equate that uniform with The Torah Itself.

Failing to wear that specific uniform is misinterpreted as
a rejection of the entire Torah, and an attack against the entire Torah.

Caroline Glick said:

Last month the revolutionaries and the administration
converged before the cameras at meeting between
Vice President Kamala Harris and students
at George Mason University in Virginia.

A female student with the voice of a child used her
audience with Harris as an opportunity to promote
the revolution’s vicious hatred of Jews, and of America.
She sniffed emotionally under her mask and told
America’s second highest elected official that her feelings
were hurt when Congress passed a bill for supplemental
funding to Israel’s Iron Dome anti-missile system.

The move, she yowled,
“hurts my heart because it’s an ethnic genocide
and a displacement of people,
the same that happened in America,
and I’m sure you’re aware of this.”

[Kamala] Harris might have been expected to call
the student out for promoting anti-Semitic and
anti-American blood libels. But she didn’t.

Instead, [Kamala] Harris empowered the young bigot.
She said she was “glad” the student shared her views.

“This is about the fact that your voice, your perspective,
your experience, your truth,
should not be suppressed and it must be heard, right?
And one of the things we’re fighting for in a democracy, right?”

Dear Reb Eliezer:

Assuming that what you say is true,
what about the HUGE increase in anti-Semitic incidents
during the administration of President Joe Biden
and Vice President Kamala Harris?

This short article is from Yehuda Dov for VINNews (dot) com:

Demonstrating a major lack of journalistic integrity,
CBS intentionally doctored a “60 minutes” interview with Kamala Harris,
editing out her garbled and incomprehensible answer to a question
about Israel with a completely different answer to the version that aired.
The news outlet has come under strong criticism, with the Trump campaign
demanding that CBS release the original transcript of the interview.

When asked by host Bill Whitaker why it seemed like Israeli Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu wasn’t listening to the United States
regarding the war in Lebanon and his response
to the Iran attack, [Kamala] Harris originally replied:

“Well Bill, the work that we have done has resulted
in a number of movements in that region by Israel that
were very much prompted by, or a result of, many things,
including our advocacy for what needs to happen in the region.”

After the clip received backlash over Kamala’s rambling
and unclear answer, CBS inserted a totally different sentence
in the version that aired, a sentence said earlier in the interview:

“We are not going to stop pursuing what is necessary
for the United States to be clear about
where we stand on the need for this war to end.”

Trump campaign national press secretary Karoline Leavitt responded,
stating that “On Sunday, 60 Minutes teased Kamala’s
highly-anticipated sit-down interview with one of her worst word salads to date,
which received significant criticism on social media.
During the full interview on Monday evening, the word salad
was deceptively edited to lessen Kamala’s idiotic response.”

“Why did 60 Minutes choose not to air Kamala’s
full word salad, and what else did they choose not to air?” she asked.
“The American people deserve the full, unedited transcript from
Kamala’s sit-down interview. We call upon 60 Minutes and CBS to release it.”

Other journalists and social media influencers called out
60 Minutes for its behavior, with Geiger Capital stressing:

”Mixing and matching questions and answers.
This isn’t journalism. It’s fraud.”

Newsweek Editor-in-Chief Josh Hammer called the interview
a “word-turd sandwich” and blasted [Kamala] Harris for purportedly
standing with Israel but not with Netanyahu.

Investor Bill Ackman questioned: “how could @60Minutes’ manipulation
occur without the consent of @KamalaHarris? Let’s not forget she is
the Vice President of the United States and she is being asked
about our foreign policy in the Middle East and our relationship
with the leader of our principal ally in the region.

“Thinking about this more, the only plausible explanation is that
the Vice President herself and/or her administration found that
her original answer, which implied that Israel’s actions in
the region were a direct result of the Biden/Harris policy,
would harm her campaign and would therefore
need to be expurgated from the public record.

“In order to execute such a violation of journalistic ethics,
I would expect that CBS News CEO Wendy McMahon and possibly
Shari Redstone herself would have had to approve the manipulated video.

“This is a story worthy of investigative journalism from real journalists.
Where are they? Where are the whistleblowers?
Or are all of them so ideologically compromised that they are prepared
to sacrifice the truth and their integrity in an effort to elect their favored candidate?”

==========================================
PERSONAL COMMENT:

The fraud committed by 60 Minutes is far from unique.

Around 90% of news reporters and news editors more-or-less
fit into one of these categories:
Marxist, neo-Marxist, Communist, Socialist, Stalinist, Maoist,
fans of Fidel Castro, fans of the Chinese Communist Party,
far-Leftists, far-Leftist, and brainwashed extreme liberals.

They will do ANYTHING to help destroy Democracy and The Constitution
and The Bill of Rights, and replace those things with a one-party
Socialist dictatorship that demands 100% compliance with all of its beliefs
and relentlessly micromanages the lives of all Americans;
a one-party Socialist dictatorship in which the Democratic Party
is the ONLY tolerated party and Islam is the ONLY tolerated religion;
a one-party Socialist dictatorship that imitates the Chinese Communist Party
and North Korea and Cuba and the former USSR,
which persecuted anyone who practiced any Jewish rituals.

Elon Musk attacked Kamala Harris
as an “extinctionist” in a particularly sharp X post.

The billionaire was commenting on another post penned by
Donald Trump’s running mate, Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH),
in which he attacked Kamala Harris for saying that
the threat of climate change has played a part in many people’s
decisions to have kids — among a number of other major life decisions.

“It’s almost like these people don’t want
young people starting families or something.
Really weird stuff,” Vance wrote.

[Elon] Musk took Vance’s criticism to another level,
arguing that [Kamala] Harris’ acknowledgement of so-called
“climate anxiety” among young people meant
she was advocating for the “de facto holocaust for all of humanity.”

Mr. Daniel Greenfield said this:

“The idea that terrorists attack because they hate freedom,
however, is misguided,” Philip Gordon wrote in “Winning the Right War.”
“Even most of the Muslims who support terrorism and trust
Osama bin Laden favor elected government” and “personal liberty.”

[Philip] Gordon, [ex-President] Obama’s future Middle East coordinator,
explained in his book that Muslim terrorists weren’t “born evil”
and did not “hate our freedoms”, but rather feel “shame” over
the state of “a once great Islamic civilization”
surpassed by other cultures including “the local upstart, Israel.”

America was “creating conditions” that “generate” Islamic terrorism
by detaining Al Qaeda terrorists, failing to punish American soldiers
and “justifying any Israeli military action.” Gordon urged
the White House to assure Iran that we have
“no intention of using military force against Iran or fomenting internal dissent”
because “Iran’s concerns about such issues are legitimate.”

Published in 2007 by an imprint of The New York Times,
[Philip] Gordon’s book was a blueprint of the policies the
Obama administration would adopt,
including blaming America and Israel,
appeasing Iran and Islamists and making
Muslims feel better about themselves.
These are the building blocks of the policies that led us
to October 7 [2023] and an Iranian war across the region.

Today, [Philip] Gordon is Kamala’s national security adviser,
and possible future secretary of state.

[Philip] Gordon’s hostility toward Israel and sympathy for
Islamic terrorists is a longstanding matter. Even before joining
the Biden administration, he had co-written an article with
Iran lobby figure Robert Malley, currently under FBI investigation
for mishandling classified documents, urging Biden
to reverse Trump’s possible recognition of Israel territory
and to cut political and economic support for Israel to punish it
for its diplomatic successes under the Trump administration.

Recently, [Philip] Gordon urged Israel to stop seeking victory
against Hamas and accept a hostage deal that would allow the
Islamic terrorist group to hang on in Gaza and free thousands of terrorists.

In his book, [Philip] Gordon claimed that
“though Hamas refuses to recognize Israel today,
it is not hard to imagine an eventual change in that position.”
And in 2014, he argued that a reconciliation deal
between the PLO and Hamas “isn’t necessarily a bad thing.”

In 2016, Gordon, speaking on behalf of the Clinton campaign,
appeared at a conference of the National Iranian American Council (NIAC),
widely regarded as the Iran lobby, and promised that Hillary Clinton
would veto new sanctions on Iran. He was described as assuring
the Iran lobby of the “potential for collaboration with Iran.”
The New York Times even appeared to list him as a “tour guide” on its Iran trips.

And [Philip] Gordon is not the only terror booster on Kamala’s team.

Ilan Goldenberg, a key member of the Kerry team who played
vital roles in the Obama administration’s campaigns against Israel
and for Iran, serves as her Middle East adviser,
and would have a more prominent role in any administration.

[Ilan] Goldenberg complained that the Trump administration had
taken Israel’s side during the Hamas border riots that served as
a prep for Oct. 7, objected that moving the embassy to Jerusalem
had not been packaged with similar concessions to the terrorists
and co-authored a paper with Hady Amr,
who acts as Biden’s point man to the terrorists.

The paper proposed that “the United States, UNSCO, and Egypt
should work quietly in concert, engaging with Israel, the PA, Hamas”
to secure a “long-term ceasefire” between Israel and Hamas,
with Israel accepting that “Hamas would retain some of its military capabilities.”

At one session Goldenberg urged, “You used to have 25,000,
100,000 Gazans working inside Israel. That needs to happen again.
The Israelis know who these guys are.
They can start with a few thousand work permits.
And there’s a lot of support for that in all of the Israeli communities around Gaza.”

Prior to Oct. 7 [2023], Gazans flooded Israel, scouted those
“Israeli communities around Gaza” and when Oct. 7 began,
came back with maps of the communities so that they knew
where the security teams were,
which houses had dogs and where the children could be found.

[Philip] Gordon and [Ilan] Goldenberg, who are set to play major roles
in a Harris administration, have expressed no regrets or retractions
of their past policies and positions. Even as the Middle East burns
due to Iranian terrorism, all they have done is double down.

In a co-written op-ed headlined, “Relax, Israel — if your ally
is working with your enemy, it doesn’t make them friends.”
Goldenberg envisioned that “In the aftermath of a successful nuclear deal,
U.S. relations with Iran should shift from that of an adversary to that of a competitor.”

His position on Israel was rather different, with op-eds like
“Why Israel’s Settlement Construction Must Be Stopped” and
“How Israel Brought U.N. Resolution on Itself With Irrational Settlement Push”.

Under a Secretary of State Phil Gordon, the Abraham Accords
and normalization with countries like Saudi Arabia, which one
of his op-eds described as an “Arabian fantasy,” would be
swept aside in a return of Obama’s non-stop
pressure campaign on Israel to create a terrorist state.

“How will it have peace if it is unwilling to delineate a border,
end the occupation, and allow for Palestinian sovereignty, security, and dignity?”
Gordon had said at a conference in Israel right after terror rockets began to fall.
“It cannot maintain military control of another people indefinitely.
Doing so is not only wrong but a recipe for resentment and recurring instability.”

After the kidnapping and murder of three Israeli teens by Hamas,
Gordon equated Israel and the terrorists, claimed that both sides
suffered from “racism,” told “both sides to demonstrate reason and calm”
and warned that “calls for retribution and revenge have no place on either side.”
Finally he falsely contended that “neither side” was
“ready to make the difficult decisions required for an agreement.”

Goldenberg had similarly argued that “half the root causes are Israeli actions,
in terms of — especially just focusing on Gaza, on the blockade.
And the other half is Hamas’s choice to use violence and arm itself in response.”

That false paradigm has been markedly present
in Kamala’s attacks on Israel after Oct 7 [2023].

Kamala’s relentless criticism of Israel’s self-defense is a preview of things to come.
Behind her escalating rhetoric are a group of anti-Israel figures
from the Obama administration. Goldenberg was one of
the radicals brought in by the Warren campaign and
then injected into the Biden administration.

Gordon is a longtime State Department anti-Israel figure
from a faction whose fingerprints are all over
the policies that empowered Iran and set the region on fire.

What would Kamala’s foreign policy look like?
The presence of Gordon and Goldenberg as her close advisers
on the region shows that it would be the Obama administration on steroids.

matzav (dot) com recently said this:

Senator Tom Cotton strongly criticized Vice President Kamala Harris on Sunday,
labeling her as both “naive” about Tehran and lenient toward Hamas.

The Republican senator from Arkansas, speaking on “Fox News Sunday,”
condemned the Democrat presidential candidate’s stance on Israel
following the October 7 [2023] attack by Hamas, which resulted
in the deaths of approximately 1,200 Israelis and the abduction
of around 250 others to Gaza. Cotton argued that Harris’s actions
reveal her lack of readiness to lead the nation as commander in chief.

[Senator Tom] Cotton, who is a member of the Senate Intelligence,
Armed Services, and Judiciary Committees, accused Harris of
blindly accepting Hamas’ reports regarding the number of casualties in Gaza,
despite these figures being provided by the Hamas-controlled Health Ministry,
which does not differentiate between fighters and civilians.

He stated that “Israel has to strike on occasion at places like hospitals and schools,
because Hamas uses them for command and control or to fire mortars and rockets.
There are civilian casualties in Gaza, no doubt,
but those are solely the responsibility of Hamas, not Israel.”

Despite acknowledging the complexity of the situation, [Senator Tom] Cotton
criticized Harris and President Joe Biden for exerting more pressure on Israel
than on Hamas from the onset of the conflict.

He also reproached [Kamala] Harris for not fulfilling her constitutional role
as president of the Senate by avoiding Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s
recent address to Congress, which was attended by 128 Democrat members of Congress.

“She refused to preside over the joint session, her only constitutional duty
as president of the Senate, she refused to have a meeting in public with
[Netanyahu, although she did meet with him in private],
and she came out and again blamed Israel for the civilian casualties in Gaza,
only emboldening Iran and Iranian-backed terrorists,”

[Senator Tom] Cotton remarked. “And what did you have two days later?
Hezbollah, another Iranian-backed terrorist [organization]
shot rockets to Israel and blew up children playing ball at a playground.”

Reiterating his criticism, Cotton declared that
“Kamala Harris is naive, and she’s not prepared to be the commander in chief.”

While acknowledging that [Kamala] Harris had affirmed Israel’s
right to defend itself, Cotton argued that she undermined
this position by immediately adding conditions. “

And what comes after the ‘but’ with Kamala Harris is always implying
that Israel is responsible for all the civilian suffering in Gaza,
not Hamas, that Israel is the one being provocative when
it’s waging a defensive war after the October 7 [2023] atrocity
and that Israel is the one that should pull in its horns,
as opposed to supporting Israel and standing strong against Iran
and Iranian-backed terrorist throughout the region,” Cotton concluded.

Not Tough on Hamas” 2024 August 12, www (dot) matzav (dot) com

This article is from www (dot) matzav (dot) com:

Shortly after the October 7 [2023] attack, [Vice President Kamala] Harris
expressed her support for pro-Hamas college students, stating,
“I do understand their concerns and I will never attempt to stifle
or silence young people from expressing their concerns.”

When Israel announced plans to target Hamas in Rafah,
[Vice President Kamala] Harris opposed the move,
arguing on ABC that it was not feasible
and citing her knowledge from studying maps.

On October 17, when a protester accused the United States
and Israel of committing “genocide,” [Kamala] Harris responded,
“I appreciate you raising the subject and I appreciate your leadership.”

As a senator, [Kamala] Harris also showed her ambivalence
toward Israel by voting against federal anti-BDS legislation,
which passed overwhelmingly in 2019.

Political analysts suggest that a shift from [Joe] Biden to [Kamala] Harris
could alienate Jewish Democrats, many of whom prioritize Israel.

“Pro-Israel Democratic voters are going to hold their noses
in many cases and vote for Trump. Because Trump may be bad,
but no Israel is worse,” said Hank Sheinkopf, a veteran Democratic consultant.

“The pro-Israel Democratic community is shrinking and it will
shrink further with Kamala Harris because she’s been very clear
about how she feels. She has limited respect for the most
important ally America has in the Middle East and an ally
that is now fighting a proxy war at great cost against
America’s greatest enemy, which is Iran,” Sheinkopf added.

Line of Anti-Israel Statements Following Hamas’ Oct. 7 Terrorist Attacks”

Israel Kasnett wrote this in Jewish News Syndicate:

Israel today finds itself standing increasingly alone as the world
rejects its right to defend itself against genocidal enemies.

And as the United States heads to elections in November,
Israelis are worried that Vice President and Democratic
presidential nominee Kamala Harris is demonstrating
less support for Israel and more sympathy
for Palestinians and their supporters.

For instance, she [Kamala Harris] has consistently tried to tie Israel’s hands,
calling for the Jewish state to end its war against Hamas, and refused
to attend Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech to Congress in July.

According to Michael Rubin, a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute,
an administration led by [Kamala] Harris
“is likely to be the most hostile U.S. administration to Israel”
since U.S. President Dwight Eisenhower’s first term in 1953.

“Even if [Kamala] Harris is neutral on Israel, her progressive base
is out for blood and, specifically, Israeli blood,” he told JNS.

As the Biden administration appeases Iran, the Islamic regime attacks Israel
directly and through proxies in Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Lebanon and Gaza.

Every time Israel went to war against Hamas in Gaza, in 2008-09,
2012, 2014 and 2021, the international community,
including the Obama administration, forced Israel to stop fighting.

After the horrific October 7 [2023] massacre, Israel now aims
to destroy Hamas, and yet again, the international community,
including the Biden administration, is trying to save Hamas.

Likewise, when Hezbollah launched an unprovoked war against Israel
in 2006, the international community forced a ceasefire after Israel attacked.

Even before Israel assassinated Hezbollah leader and arch-terrorist
Hassan Nasrallah on Friday, the international community,
including the Biden administration,
was working hard to achieve a ceasefire to save Hezbollah.

Israel is never allowed to win.

So when [Kamala] Harris was asked how she would broker a deal
to end the war between Israel and Hamas, she said she would
continue to work on a two-state solution “around the clock.”

This is a major red flag. The Palestinians have made it clear
numerous times since 1947 that they are NOT interested
in a two-state solution and prefer to destroy Israel instead.

What Harris means then is that she does not want Israel to achieve victory.

Instead, she wants to give Palestinians a state as a prize for
launching endless terrorist attacks against Israeli civilians
for decades instead of pursuing the establishment
of their own state through peaceful means…..

News Reporter Carl Campanile of The New York Post said:

Nearly half of Jewish voters have felt at risk because of their religious identity 
while living in the Empire State — while more than a third said that New York
is no longer a safe haven for their people, a shocking new poll reveals.

The survey conducted for the pro-Israel New York Solidarity Network 
found that 44% of the 1,200 Jewish voters in New York City and other counties
queried said they have felt unsafe, as did 67% of identifiable Orthodox Jews.

More than a third — 35% — said they agreed with the statement:

“New York is no longer a safe haven for Jewish life and the Jewish people.”
Nearly 40% of the same voters said the US is no longer a safe haven for Jews.
The numbers are unsettling given that 1.5 million Jews live in New York state
— more than any single place on the globe outside of Israel, the poll takers said. 

“That more than a third of registered New York Jewish voters believe New York
is no longer a safe haven for Jews should be a five-alarm fire for state and local elected officials,”
Sara Forman, executive director of the New York Solidarity Network and Treasurer of Solidarity PAC,
said in a statement to The Post Wednesday. 

It comes as New York has been hit by a wave of antisemitic hate crimes
since Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023 attack on Israel and the ongoing war in the Gaza Strip.

The hate has spilled onto college campuses, where some Jewish students
have been left cowering in fear due to anti-Israel protests and antisemitic incidents
— including at Cooper Union and at Columbia University,
where vandals occupied an academic building.

Many of the masked hoodlums escaped prosecution, and a campaign
is now underway to urge Gov. Kathy Hochul and the state legislature
to restore a mask ban at public protests to prevent harassers
and bigots from hiding their identify and getting away with crimes.

Half of those surveyed by the New York Solidarity Network said
they don’t believe New York’s college campuses will do enough
to make Jewish students feel safe in the upcoming fall semester,
while 42% said they did.

Meanwhile, 86% of respondents said they believe that antisemitism
is a serious problem, and 56% have witnessed anti-Jewish hatred
on social media and online forums — including 72% of those under the age of 30.

Antisemitic hate crimes are up 45% in 2024, according to NYPD data
obtained by The Post in April — with many of the emboldened attacks
captured on shocking video.

For instance, the Brooklyn Museum’s director and a number of its
Jewish board members last month were targeted by antisemitic vandals
who tossed red paint and scrawled “blood on your hands” across their homes.

An inverted red triangle was sprayed on director Anne Pasternak’s
co-op apartment building — a symbol used in the past by Hamas
to identify Israeli military targets and, more recently,
has been spotted at anti-Israel tent encampment protests
that plagued university campuses across the country.

An anti-Jewish harasser from Staten Island was recently arrested 
for allegedly storming a Big Apple subway car and demanded
that “Zionists” raise their hands.

A Jewish father of five in Brooklyn was beaten in front of his own home
last December during the first night of Hanukkah as his attacker
spewed antisemitic vitriol — just two days before another man
was robbed of his $2,500 traditional Jewish headpiece in the borough.

The virulent Jew hatred has exploded amid the Hamas-Israel war in Gaza,
initiated by the terror militia’s sneak attack on the Jewish State.

“Jews have been warning leadership for months, as masked mobs
teeming with hatred for Jews crowded outside hospitals and synagogues,
defaced the homes of Jewish museum board members, intimidated Jews
on the subway and in other public spaces, vandalized Jewish-owned business,
overran colleges to ‘occupy’ campuses— all while far-left
politicians celebrated this behavior as ‘peaceful’ protest,” Forman said.

“If we do not feel safe here, with the largest Jewish community outside of Israel,
how can we feel safe anywhere?” Forman added.

“Community leaders, non-Jewish allies, and elected officials on
the state and local level must send a decisive message to the public,
and to those elected officials who condone this behavior,
that anti-Jewish hatred has no place in New York, without exception or apology.”  

The New York Solidarity Network survey conducted by GQR Insights
and Action questioned 1,200 registered Jewish voters from May 9-22,
and has a margin of error of plus or minus 2.8 percentage points.

Live phone interviews made up 46% of respondents,
while text-to-web surveys made up the other 54%.

Voters from high density Jewish zip codes were interviewed in New York City
and select counties: Nassau, Suffolk, Albany, Broome, Erie, Monroe,
Oneida, Onondaga, Orange, Putnam, Rockland, Sullivan, Tompkins, Ulster and Westchester.

PERSONAL COMMENT: This is happening under the government
of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris
and their Democrat Party allies.
If Kamala Harris is elected (G*D forbid) THEN THIS WILL CONTINUE.
Vote the Democrat Party OUT OF OFFICE, every single one of them!!!

Rabbi Pinchos Lipschutz of matzav (dot) com said:

“The media is in full throttle for Kamala Harris,
and the fact that she is an extreme liberal with
near-socialist leanings has been buried as the
propaganda campaign for her election bears fruit.

Americans are confused and apparently easily influenced
to support a candidate who is NOT in their best interest.

It is often stated at election time that the future of the
country is at stake, and this time it seems truer than ever.”

When Donald Trump was President, he was not merely pro-Israel;
he was the most pro-Israel President OF ALL TIME.

When Donald Trump was President, he was not merely pro-Jewish;
he was the most pro-Jewish President OF ALL TIME.

if Kamala Harris becomes President (G*D forbid),
she will not merely be anti-Israel;
she will be the most anti-Israel President OF ALL TIME.

Which is more logical:
For Jews to vote for the most PRO-Israel President OF ALL TIME,
or for Jews to vote for the most ANTI-Israel President OF ALL TIME?

The choice SHOULD be obvious, even to a ten-year-old;
but many people are so brainwashed by the Marxist media,
and so forgetful, and so ignorant, and so confused,
that they cannot comprehend the correct answer to this question.

May G*D have mercy, and save us from Kamala Harris.
and also save us from the very confused people who want her to be President.

This article is from the Jewish News Syndicate (JNS):

Kamala Harris, the presumptive Democratic nominee for president,
will be conspicuously absent from her seat, as U.S. vice president,
behind Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu when
the latter addresses a joint session of Congress on Wednesday.

“It is unconscionable to see Vice President Kamala Harris shirk her
duties as president of the Senate and boycott this historic event,”
stated Victoria Coates, vice president of the Cullom Davis Institute
for National Security and Foreign Policy at The Heritage Foundation.

“If we can’t stand with Israel now, when can we?” Coates’s colleague
Robert Greenway, director of Heritage’s Allison Center for National Security, agreed.

“Iran and its terrorist proxies look to eliminate the State of Israel,
and the United States cannot turn a blind eye to the situation
as we will be the next in their crosshairs,” Greenway stated.

“Vice President Kamala Harris’s refusal to preside over the joint
session of Congress further isolates our closest ally in the region.”
“It encourages Israel’s enemies, who also have American blood
on their hands and our hostages in their custody,” he added.
“We must be better.”

News Reporter Rikki Schlott of The New York Post said:

With the 2024 election almost upon us, Donald Trump is gaining a new cohort of voters:
Jewish Americans who feel abandoned by the left.

According to exit polls, 77 percent of Jewish voters went for Biden in 2020.
But a recent poll from the Jewish Electoral Institute
found the president has lost 10 points on his lead against his rival.

Between college protests erupting into chants for an “intifada revolution,”
Democrats like Jamaal Bowman leaning hard into pro-Palestine messaging,
and progressive organizations like Black Lives Matter chapters celebrating
the October 7th terrorist attacks, many Jewish Americans feel abandoned by their party.

Some lifelong Jewish Democrats feel an explosion of left-wing antisemitism
has pushed them to re-register as Republicans — and vote for Trump.

The Post spoke to four local Jewish voters who made the switch in the wake of October 7th:

[1] Melissa Chapman always considered herself a bleeding heart liberal —
but she left the Democratic party after she claims it “betrayed” Jewish people.

“I’ve always been a Democrat, and I really believed that the Democrats were
going to protect me, because I’ve done everything a good Democrat should do,”
the 50-year-old Staten Islander told The Post.
“Then October 7th happened, and I was completely abandoned.”

Chapman, a mom of two, runs a blog where she champions progressive causes,
from LGBT rights and animal rights to Black History Month. However, after
the Hamas attacks which killed 1,200 and took another 250 hostages,
prompting Israel’s military to respond in Gaza, she found herself castigated
online in the progressive social media communities she’d long been a part of.

“Even on my vegan Facebook communities, all the recipes
became about freeing Palestine, somehow,” she said.
\“If you dissented in any way, you either got bullied,
shamed, or just kicked out of the group.
I was literally abandoned by every single
community that I poured my heart into.”

In total, Chapman was booted from 20 online communities
and called all manner of names, from ‘colonizer’ to ‘genocide supporter’ and ‘baby killer’.

“I was told to go back to Poland,” she recalled.
“One person told me they hope that I burn in the ovens.
If you support Israel, you’re immediately considered someone
who’s supporting genocide, which is not, by definition, even true
— but it doesn’t matter because buzzwords are taking over like wildfire.”

The experience of being squeezed out of progressive spaces
caused Chapman to re-register as a Republican.

“It’s a horrible time to support Israel and be a Democrat,
and I just don’t think there’s any space for us anymore,” she said.
“As a Jew, you have to disown Israel in order
to be accepted into the Democratic community.”

The post-October 7th reaction has caused Chapman to think
oftenof her late father, who was a Holocaust survivor:
“If he were alive today, I don’t know what he would say.
I don’t know, but would he say this is like
what happened in Germany before Hitler took over?”

As we head into election season, Chapman “1000%” plans
to vote Republican down the ticket,
from the local level to the presidential level.

“I never thought I would be voting Republican in my entire life,”
she said. “But it’s like living in a twilight zone. As a Jew living in America, I
don’t believe the Democratic Party has my best interest at heart.”

[2] After a lifetime as a Democrat, Danny Cohen
decided his party now “has a cancer” in the form of antisemitism.

“There’s been a hijacking of the Democratic Party,” Cohen,
56 of Brooklyn, told The Post. “Right now the Democratic Party has a cancer.
It seems like all the antisemitism is just coming out of the woodwork.”

In the wake of October 7th, Cohen changed his party registration to Republican.
“The response from the left really shook me to my core,”
Cohen, who was raised in a Syrian Jewish community in Brooklyn, said.

“I can’t be part of that party anymore. I don’t want
to have anything to do with these people.

As a Jewish person, Cohen says he feels uniquely unsupported by the left:
“It’s no longer a party that is fighting for human rights
because you can’t fight for human rights, except for Jewish rights.”

Over the past year, the standup comic says
left-wing antisemitism has been overwhelming.

“We have ‘The Squad.’ We see what’s going on in college campuses.
We see what’s going on during these protests.
It’s taking to the streets, and it’s getting crazy,” he said.

“I’m not saying that there isn’t any hate in the Republican party
— we have the KKK, the Proud Boys, Charlottesville — but they
can’t even hold a candle to the scale of what’s going on on the other side.”

Accordingly, Cohen is planning to vote Republican for the first time.

“I’m passionate. I’m excited about it, actually,” he said.
“It’s a fight against Jew hatred, and so now I’m excited about voting for Trump.”

[3] Sarah Sarkin once took to the streets to protest Trump’s election in 2016,
waving an “Anybody but Trump” poster. Now she’s voting for him in 2024.

“Being a mother and watching everything that happened in October [7, 2023]
made me make the switch,” Sarkin, who is raising her infant son in Syracuse, said.
“Those images are still seared and tattooed into my memory,
and it was just horrifying to see some of the reactions on the left.”

Although she considered herself “as Democrat as can be”
until recently, Sarkin, 31, re-registered as a Republican.

“It was a lot of silence on the left, and that really speaks so loudly
to how a party that I once thought was for equality and for
protecting us is really not for equal rights,” Sarkin told The Post.

“Being a liberal was such a big part of my identity,
so it was a weird thing for me to switch over.
But I’m at a different part of my life now,
and it’s time for me to change.”

After October 7th [2023], the safety of her family and Jewish community
became Sarkin’s number one priority, as a voter and as a mother.

Her local mom’s group chats were flooded with panicked posts
about safety, local protests, and whether or not to send kids
to school on the “International Day of Jihad,” called for
by an ex-Hamas leader on Oct. 13. Out of fear for their security,
Sarkin and her husband also decided to become first-time gun owners this year.

“I had never even held a gun, and it was scary, but we wanted
to learn how to protect ourselves,” Sarkin said.
“This became very real for us very soon.
It happened in Israel, but it can certainly happen here.”

As November nears, Sarkin plans to cast her ballot for Trump
because she believes his commitment to Israel is more resounding.

“At least for me, I need someone who’s a fighter and who knows where they stand.

[4] Marin Faiella: ‘I’ve never voted Republican before’

Marin Faiella has never voted Republican in her life,
but this November she’ll be casting her ballot for Trump.

“I think at the end of the day, it’s clear whose policies
are aligned with a safer, stronger allied relationship with Israel,”
she told The Post.

Faiella has always considered herself staunchly pro-choice
and generally progressive. But October 7th upended her priorities.

“My number one priority is overall safety and security
for myself as a Jewish person,” Faiella said.
“If your basic 101 safety isn’t in place,
then you can’t really advocate for any additional rights.”

Faiella, who lives in the West Village and works in real estate,
says pro-Palestine demonstrations in New York City have been a wake-up call.

“I saw what was on the streets — celebrations, people shouting
and dressed as terrorists here in New York City,” she recalled.
“After October 7th, I was just scared to death,
in terms of being a Jewish person in the city.”

The progressives’ reaction to October 7th inspired her
to change her registration from Democrat to Republican last November,
but she says “the writing has been on the wall.”

“There were plenty of warnings that were preludes to
what we’re seeing out in the open now, like Bella Hadid
and the woke crowd that have been all in on Free Palestine,”
Faiella said. Hadid is of Palestinian descent.

Although she was initially conflicted about re-registering
as a Republican, she is feeling confident in her choice.

“I’m not anti-Democrat, but I’m definitely anti-extreme Democrats,”
she said. “I continue to feel more and more confident and comfortable
in my skin and my new affiliation. I can always change back,
but this is where I feel it’s appropriate to be at this point in time.”

For Faiella, it all comes down to fundamental safety for the Jewish community.

“We could be Germany [in the] 1930s if we didn’t have
the government and law enforcement on our side,”
she warned. “If that ever changed, we wouldn’t be safe here anymore.”

WISCONSIN (VINnews) — Jewish activist Shabbos Kestenbaum,
a Harvard graduate who has filed a lawsuit against the university
over its antisemitism, will be speaking at the Republican National Convention.

In a tweet, Kestenbaum announced that he voted for Bernie Sanders
last election, however his views have changed because of
what his classmates were doing while Jews were being slaughtered.

The Convention’s website says that Shabbos is a “lifelong Democrat”
who will be voting for president [Donald] Trump for the first time.

Mr. Daniel Greenfield said this:

“The idea that terrorists attack because they hate freedom,
however, is misguided,” Philip Gordon wrote in “Winning the Right War.”
“Even most of the Muslims who support terrorism and
trust Osama bin Laden favor elected government” and “personal liberty.”

[Philip] Gordon, [ex-President] Obama’s future Middle East coordinator,
explained in his book that Muslim terrorists weren’t “born evil” and
did not “hate our freedoms”, but rather feel “shame”
over the state of “a once great Islamic civilization”
surpassed by other cultures including “the local upstart, Israel.”

America was “creating conditions” that “generate” Islamic terrorism
by detaining Al Qaeda terrorists, failing to punish American soldiers
and “justifying any Israeli military action.” Gordon urged the White House
to assure Iran that we have “no intention of using military force
against Iran or fomenting internal dissent”
because “Iran’s concerns about such issues are legitimate.”

Published in 2007 by an imprint of The New York Times,
[Philip] Gordon’s book was a blueprint of the policies the
Obama administration would adopt, including blaming America and Israel,
appeasing Iran and Islamists and making Muslims feel better about themselves.
These are the building blocks of the policies that led us
to Oct. 7 [2023] and an Iranian war across the region.

Today, [Philip] Gordon is Kamala’s national security adviser,
and possible future secretary of state.

[Philip] Gordon’s hostility toward Israel and sympathy for
Islamic terrorists is a longstanding matter. Even before
joining the Biden administration, he had co-written an article
with Iran lobby figure Robert Malley, currently under FBI investigation
for mishandling classified documents, urging Biden to reverse
Trump’s possible recognition of Israel territory and
to cut political and economic support for Israel to punish it
for its diplomatic successes under the Trump administration.

Recently, [Philip] Gordon urged Israel to stop seeking victory
against Hamas and accept a hostage deal that would allow the
Islamic terrorist group to hang on in Gaza and free thousands of terrorists.

In his book, [Philip] Gordon claimed that
“though Hamas refuses to recognize Israel today,
it is not hard to imagine an eventual change in that position.”
And in 2014, he argued that a reconciliation deal
between the PLO and Hamas “isn’t necessarily a bad thing.”

In 2016, Gordon, speaking on behalf of the Clinton campaign,
appeared at a conference of the National Iranian American Council (NIAC),
widely regarded as the Iran lobby, and promised that
Hillary Clinton would veto new sanctions on Iran.
He was described as assuring the Iran lobby of the
“potential for collaboration with Iran.”
The New York Times even appeared to
list him as a “tour guide” on its Iran trips.

And [Philip] Gordon is not the only terror booster on Kamala’s team.

Ilan Goldenberg, a key member of the Kerry team
who played vital roles in the Obama administration’s
campaigns against Israel and for Iran, serves as
her Middle East adviser, and would have
a more prominent role in any administration.

[Ilan] Goldenberg complained that the Trump administration
had taken Israel’s side during the Hamas border riots
that served as a prep for Oct. 7, objected that moving
the embassy to Jerusalem had not been packaged
with similar concessions to the terrorists and co-authored
a paper with Hady Amr, who acts as Biden’s point man to the terrorists.

The paper proposed that “the United States, UNSCO,
and Egypt should work quietly in concert, engaging with Israel,
the PA, Hamas” to secure a “long-term ceasefire”
between Israel and Hamas, with Israel accepting that
“Hamas would retain some of its military capabilities.”

At one session Goldenberg urged, “You used to have 25,000,
100,000 Gazans working inside Israel. That needs to happen again.
The Israelis know who these guys are.
They can start with a few thousand work permits.
And there’s a lot of support for that
in all of the Israeli communities around Gaza.”

Prior to Oct. 7 [2023], Gazans flooded Israel, scouted those
“Israeli communities around Gaza” and when Oct. 7 began,
came back with maps of the communities so that they knew
where the security teams were, which houses
had dogs and where the children could be found.

[Philip] Gordon and [Ilan] Goldenberg, who are set to play major
roles in a Harris administration, have expressed no regrets
or retractions of their past policies and positions.
Even as the Middle East burns due to Iranian terrorism,
all they have done is double down.

In a co-written op-ed headlined, “Relax, Israel — if your ally
is working with your enemy, it doesn’t make them friends.”
Goldenberg envisioned that “In the aftermath of a successful nuclear deal,
U.S. relations with Iran should shift from that of an adversary to that of a competitor.”

His position on Israel was rather different, with op-eds like
“Why Israel’s Settlement Construction Must Be Stopped”
and “How Israel Brought U.N. Resolution
on Itself With Irrational Settlement Push”.

Under a Secretary of State Phil Gordon, the Abraham Accords
and normalization with countries like Saudi Arabia, which
one of his op-eds described as an “Arabian fantasy,”
would be swept aside in a return of Obama’s non-stop
pressure campaign on Israel to create a terrorist state.

“How will it have peace if it is unwilling to delineate a border,
end the occupation, and allow for Palestinian sovereignty, security, and dignity?”
Gordon had said at a conference in Israel right after terror rockets began to fall.
“It cannot maintain military control of another people indefinitely.
Doing so is not only wrong but a recipe for resentment and recurring instability.”

After the kidnapping and murder of three Israeli teens by Hamas,
Gordon equated Israel and the terrorists, claimed that
both sides suffered from “racism,” told “both sides to
demonstrate reason and calm” and warned that
“calls for retribution and revenge have no place on either side.”
Finally he falsely contended that “neither side” was
“ready to make the difficult decisions required for an agreement.”

Goldenberg had similarly argued that “half the root causes
are Israeli actions, in terms of—especially just focusing on Gaza,
on the blockade. And the other half is Hamas’s choice
to use violence and arm itself in response.”

That false paradigm has been markedly present
in Kamala’s attacks on Israel after Oct 7 [2023].

Kamala’s relentless criticism of Israel’s self-defense is a preview of things to come.

Behind her escalating rhetoric are a group of anti-Israel figures
from the Obama administration. Goldenberg was one of the radicals
brought in by the Warren campaign and then injected
into the Biden administration. Gordon is a longtime State Department
anti-Israel figure from a faction whose fingerprints
are all over the policies that empowered Iran and set the region on fire.

What would Kamala’s foreign policy look like?
The presence of Gordon and Goldenberg as her close advisers
on the region shows that it would be the Obama administration on steroids.

This short article is from www (dot) matzav (dot) com:

During Thursday’s episode of Newsmax TV’s “The Record,” Harvard Law School
Professor Emeritus Alan Dershowitz commented on Vice President Kamala Harris,
a Democratic presidential candidate for 2024.

He [Alan Dershowitz] stated that [Kamala] Harris
“seemed to create a moral equivalence” and added,
“she was trying to appeal both to her left-wing,
anti-Israel people and to the pro-Israel people.
You can’t do that by creating a false moral equivalence.”

[Alan] Dershowitz said, “Let’s remember that people are trying
to make a [false] moral equivalence between Hamas and Israel.

Even the Vice President, Kamala Harris, in her statement,
seemed to create a moral equivalence between the suffering
of the Gazans and the people who were killed in Israel.

The difference is this:

The people who are suffering in Gaza are suffering as a result of Hamas.
Hamas is using them as human shields.
Hamas is the one who is taking their food away.
Hamas is the one who is firing rockets from mosques and schools.

So, there is no moral equivalence between Israel’s self-defense actions,
which are trying to minimize civilian deaths,
and Hamas’ attempts to increase civilian deaths.”

Andrew Stein (a Democrat who served as New York City
Council President from 1986 to 1994) said this:

In 1968, I ran as a Democrat in my first primary election,
as I sought to become a New York state Assemblyman.

I fought four more tough primary races against fellow Democrats
David Dinkins and Robert Wagner Jr. as we vied to become
Manhattan borough president, and yet another in 1985 against
Ken Lipper to become City Council president. In every primary
I had to work my butt off to prove myself to my party and my constituents.
Those races made me a better public servant and a better man.

That’s what the democratic process is for — and what the Democratic Party
is all about: testing our candidates through primary contests and giving our voters a voice.
This is not happening with Kamala Harris.
And it’s one of the reasons the Democratic Party will lose to Donald Trump in November.

If they actually wanted to live up to their name, Democratic leaders
would insist on an open convention where delegates
could freely select a presidential nominee in Joe Biden’s place.

Instead, [Kamala] Harris is getting a free ride from the media
and from many in her party:
Those who failed to pass [Joe] Biden off as competent
are now highly motivated to try to position [Kamala] Harris a
s someone who’s qualified to be president.
The anti-Trump press is ready to deify her,
Hollywood donors are poised to fill her coffers,
and the left is going all out to maintain their power.

Only one problem: [Kamala] Harris is utterly unqualified for the job.

[Kamala] Harris was one of the worst vice presidents in history,
an abject failure at virtually every task except for casting tie-breaker voters
for big spending bills that caused the inflation we’re all suffering through.

Instead, she fixed it for the left — letting millions of unauthorized immigrants (*)
pour into this country and then backing free healthcare for them all.

She has no foreign-policy experience, with a background as a
California “prosecutor” and less than a full term in the US Senate.

She has not been tested on the national stage in any serious way
and got zero votes as a failed presidential candidate.

She is turning her back on our democratic ally Israel,
even as it faces attacks on three sides from
Iranian proxies who are holding Americans hostage.

Her stance only gives comfort to Hamas and signals
the continuation of weak-kneed pro-Iran policies.

This week, in her first speech as a 2024 candidate,
she promised massive new spending programs.
As a senator, she backed the full $10 trillion Green New Deal.

So a vote for [Kamala] Harris is a vote for spending that could
kick off another round of inflation, continued open borders
costing us billions, higher energy prices and electric vehicle mandates.

There isn’t a left-wing idea out there that [Kamala] Harris
has not supported, from the transgender agenda
to banning private health insurance altogether.

Her idea of freedom is joining a union,
not fostering American individualism and innovation.
Her idea of the future is expanded government handouts for virtually everything.
Despite [Kamala] Harris’ trademark cackle, her election would be no laughing matter.

All of the flaws and mistakes of the Biden-Harris administration
will be magnified if the veep [Vice President] makes it to the Oval Office.
She is nothing but the Great Pretender, the sequel.

Donald Trump has had to survive false accusations of racism,
fines meant to bankrupt him, partisan lawsuits in an attempt to jail him,
an assassin’s bullet — and now even a second
presidential opponent, after demolishing his first one.

Don’t be fooled by all the [Kamala] Harris hype: She is nothing
but a new mask for the left, a failed vice president who
in nearly four years on the job never did anything to distinguish herself.

As an elected Democratic official for 25 years,
I could not in good conscience vote for Kamala Harris.
I would have to vote for Donald Trump.

News Reporter Rikki Schlott of The New York Post said:

With the 2024 election almost upon us, Donald Trump is gaining a new cohort of voters:
Jewish Americans who feel abandoned by the left.

According to exit polls, 77 percent of Jewish voters went for Biden in 2020.
But a recent poll from the Jewish Electoral Institute found
the president has lost 10 points on his lead against his rival.

Between college protests erupting into chants for an “intifada revolution,”
Democrats like Jamaal Bowman leaning hard into pro-Palestine messaging,
and progressive organizations like Black Lives Matter chapters
celebrating the October 7th terrorist attacks,
many Jewish Americans feel abandoned by their party.

Some lifelong Jewish Democrats feel an explosion of left-wing antisemitism
has pushed them to re-register as Republicans — and vote for Trump.

The Post spoke to four local Jewish voters who made the switch in the wake of October 7th:

[1] Melissa Chapman always considered herself a bleeding heart liberal
— but she left the Democratic party after she claims it “betrayed” Jewish people.

“I’ve always been a Democrat, and I really believed that the Democrats
were going to protect me, because I’ve done everything a good Democrat should do,”
the 50-year-old Staten Islander told The Post.
“Then October 7th happened, and I was completely abandoned.”

Chapman, a mom of two, runs a blog where she champions progressive causes,
from LGBT rights and animal rights to Black History Month.

However, after the Hamas attacks which killed 1,200 and took another 250 hostage,
prompting Israel’s military to respond in Gaza, she found herself
castigated online in the progressive social media communities she’d long been a part of.

“Even on my vegan Facebook communities, all the recipes
became about freeing Palestine, somehow,” she said.
“If you dissented in any way, you either got bullied, shamed,
or just kicked out of the group. I was literally abandoned
by every single community that I poured my heart into.”

In total, Chapman was booted from 20 online communities
and called all manner of names, from ‘colonizer’
to ‘genocide supporter’ and ‘baby killer’.

“I was told to go back to Poland,” she recalled.
“One person told me they hope that I burn in the ovens.

If you support Israel, you’re immediately considered someone
who’s supporting genocide, which is not, by definition, even true —
but it doesn’t matter because buzzwords are taking over like wildfire.”

The experience of being squeezed out of progressive spaces
caused Chapman to re-register as a Republican.

“It’s a horrible time to support Israel and be a Democrat,
and I just don’t think there’s any space for us anymore,” she said.
“As a Jew, you have to disown Israel in order
to be accepted into the Democratic community.”

The post-October 7th reaction has caused Chapman to
think often of her late father, who was a Holocaust survivor:
“If he were alive today, I don’t know what he would say.
I don’t know, but would he say this is like
what happened in Germany before Hitler took over?”

As we head into election season, Chapman “1000%” plans

can’t even hold a candle to the scale of what’s going on on the other side.”

Accordingly, Cohen is planning to vote Republican for the first time.

“I’m passionate. I’m excited about it, actually,” he said.

Mark Matson, a financial expert and author of
Experiencing the American Dream,
shared with Breitbart News his strong views on how
Vice President Kamala Harris’s policies could jeopardize
the American Dream, calling them a “destroyer” of that ideal.
….
He referred to a Wall Street Journal study
that defines key components of the American Dream,
such as: home ownership, starting a family
and raising children, sending children to college,
and enjoying a secure retirement.

“All of these things became more difficult under this
[Kamala Harris] administration,” [Mark] Matson remarked.

Matson further criticized [Kamala] Harris’s policy proposals,
including higher taxes, price controls, and increased regulations,
all of which he believes stand in opposition to the American Dream.

“These policies,” [Mark]Matson declared, “are an American dream destroyer.”
….
[Mark] Matson emphasized the need to preserve
the Trump-era tax cuts, warning that their expiration
could result in tax hikes of 20 to 30 percent for Americans.

James Bickerton wrote this in Newsweek Magazine:

Famed attorney Alan Dershowitz has announced his departure
from the Democratic Party following what he called the
“most anti-Jewish, anti-Israel, anti-Zionist convention”
he has experienced.

The lawyer and Harvard Law professor emeritus made the announcement
during an appearance on the Talkline With Zev Brenner podcast
shortly after the Democratic National Convention,
which took place in Chicago from August 19 to August 22.
….
During his interview with radio host Zev Brenner, Dershowitz said:
“I am no longer a Democrat. I am an independent.” He added,
“A lot of things pushed me in that direction,” citing Vice President
Kamala Harris’ decision not to preside over Netanyahu’s address
to a joint session of Congress in July
and rhetoric at the Democratic National Convention.

“I was disgusted at the Democratic National Convention.
Absolutely disgusted,” he said.

Dershowitz continued: “They had more anti-Jewish,
anti-Zionist people who were speaking, starting with
[Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez]—a miserable anti-Zionist bigot.

“Then, of course, they had [Senator Elizabeth] Warren,
who is one of the most anti-Jewish people in the Senate.
Then they had Bernie Sanders,
one of the most anti-Jewish people in the Senate.”
….
The lawyer [Alan Dershowitz] also said that had Pennsylvania Governor
Josh Shapiro not been Jewish, he likely would have been chosen
as [Kamala] Harris’ running mate.
“I understand that if his name were John Sheppard,
not Josh Shapiro, he would have been the democratic nominee,” he said.
