With little time before the election, Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign organized visual and in-person gatherings based on affiliations to drum up support, such as Asian Americans for Harris, Republicans for Harris, and the humorous-sounding White Dudes for Harris. Last Friday, the Jewish Democratic Council of America ran an hour-long Zoom pep rally with some of the Vice President’s most visible Jewish supporters offering optimism and reassurance that their candidate supports Israel, stands against anti-Semitism, and can beat Donald Trump in her White house run.

A month into the Kamala Harris campaign she has still conducted zero interviews and has not put up a policy page on her website.  Instead, she has done very well-choreographed campaign rallies in swing states, boosting her popularity and polling numbers to the point where she is now favored to win the presidential election.  She is winning right now not because she is campaigning against the policy prescription of Donald Trump, but rather because she’s campaigning against her own personal policies that she espoused and those set forward by the administration she was a part of.

Kamala Harris determined that Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro was simply too Jewish for the Democrats. Despite having far more political benefits, Harris went with radical Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her Vice Presidential pick. Given the Democrats’ track record of throwing unpopular candidates over the side of the highway if they poll badly enough, let’s see if Walz, unlike Joe Biden, can actually make it to election day.

The question on every “Vote Blue no matter who” Jewish voter’s mind must be: “Why are these pro-Hamas protesters always coming to our events?  Why are they at the DNC?  Why not the RNC?  Do they want Trump to win?” 

While the former is doubtless hard for liberal Jews to absorb, with regard to Israel and the Jews, the latter are much worse.

(August 11, 2024 / JNS) Former President Donald Trump drives liberal Jews to distraction when he says that American Jews have to be crazy to vote for his Democratic opponent. They call him an antisemite. But he keeps on saying it.

Anyone looking at the campus protests that defined the spring semester of universities around the country, the shutting down of roads and bridges, or the gathering of tens of thousands of terror supporters outside the Democratic National Convention can see how many people are wearing masks. Unlike the mask-wearing of 2020 and 2021, where people were concerned about the spread of Covid, this mask-wearing is for an entirely different purpose. This is to prevent accountability for their actions.
