New York City mayoral frontrunner Yang walks back stand against boycotting Jews, caves to infamous Jew-hater Linda Sarsour

42

There was a time when it would have been unthinkable for a mayoral candidate in New York City to appease an antisemite such as Linda Sarsour. Those days are long gone. Now it elevates you in the party of Jew-hatred. Yang caving to Sarsour is not surprising. Why should Andrew Yang take a strong stand against the BDS Movement when the vast majority of New York City’s Jewish voters will vote for him anyway? If Jewish voters are not bothered by anti-Semitic hatred, then why should Yang alienate influential BDS supporters such as Linda Sarsour?

New York Dems’ BDS debate shows the power of the woke left

By JNS, March 1, 2021

Most Americans don’t pay much attention to New York City politics. As one of the deepest blue political bastions in the country, the struggle for political ascendancy in the Big Apple can seem to be merely a choice between left and lefter. But while New York has become a one-party city in which Democrats don’t so much predominate as the Republicans have disappeared, that doesn’t mean debates there are insignificant. To the contrary, the city is in some ways a laboratory experiment in which it appears the future of the Democratic Party is up for grabs.

That’s especially true with respect to the question of whether it will be, as it always used to be, a pro-Israel political party. And the struggles of Andrew Yang—the entrepreneur/philanthropist and one-time presidential candidate who has now shifted his ambitions to taking possession of the city’s Gracie Mansion—illustrate this dilemma.

[the_ad id=”110283″]

New York is still the world’s largest Jewish city (that is, in terms of those living within its city limits; if we were talking about metropolitan areas, Tel Aviv would now be No. 1), which means that mayoral candidates are bound to wish to appeal to the sensibilities of Jewish voters. But given how diverse the New York community is, that’s easier said than done. After all, a much larger percentage of New York Jewry is not merely Orthodox but denizens of ultra-Orthodox enclaves. At the other end of the political spectrum, Jewish voters who live in more upscale neighborhoods like the Upper East and Upper West Sides tend to be extremely left-wing rather than merely liberal.

In an earlier era when white ethnic voters held the balance of power in the five boroughs, appealing to them meant mayoral candidates would take international tours of the three “i’s”: Ireland, Italy and Israel. Irish and Italian voters don’t seem to be cohesive voting groups anymore, but a million Jews still reside in the city. Yet figuring out what they want is not so easy. That’s especially true if, like Yang, you clearly have no idea what you’re talking about when it comes to the Middle East or Jewish issues.

I will never fathom some Jews’ loyalty to liberalism, when said liberalism is so blatantly against Israel.

It is akin to those many German Jews who were super patriotic about Germany. It took Hitler’s genocide of us to quench the German Jews super patriotism for the fatherland (those that survived, that is). The American Jews loyalty to the odious German ideals of the Democratic party will be alleviated when the Democrats openly turn on the Jews. The Democrats will have to use us Jews as scapegoats because their ideas have failed and will always fail. They will need a scapegoat or distraction and the Jew has been the historical scapegoat.

As soon as the World War I operation had ended, Marxists began planning for the World War II operation with the creation of that war’s two false opposition fronts, the National Socialist German Workers’ Party and the National Fascist Party in Italy. Benito Mussolini was a well known and influential Marxist before the Comintern ordered that he take up a new identity as leader of the National Fascist Party; Italian fascists held positions in the Comintern.

As for Adolf Hitler’s Marxist pedigree, one-third of Hitler’s SA and Gestapo personnel were ‘former’ Marxists whom Hitler ordered were to be immediately accepted into the ranks of the SS without any vetting:

“Adolf Hitler himself was the first to admit that National Socialism and Communism had much in common. ‘There is more that binds us to Bolshevism than separates us from it,’ he once said in a revealing conversation, ‘There is, above all, revolutionary feeling…I have always made allowances for this circumstance, and given orders that former Communists are to be admitted to the party at once. The petit bourgeois Social Democrat and the trade-union boss will never be a National Socialist, but the Communist always will.’ Hitler, in this case at least, was true to his word. After he seized power, he saw to it that thousands of Communists were enrolled in the NSDAP. They were particularly effective in the Gestapo and in the SA, where they formed perhaps a third of the total membership. Indeed, there were so many of them that they were given a special name. They were known popularly as the “Beefsteak Nazi” – Brown on the outside, Red on the inside.” — Robert G. L. Waite, Vanguard of Nazism: The Free Corps Movement in Postwar Germany 1918-1923

During the course of World War II Admiral Wilhelm Canaris, Chief of the Abwehr (German military intelligence), and General Reinhard Gehlen, Chief of the German General Staff’s intelligence unit for the Soviet Union and East European countries, Foreign Armies East (FHO), independently discovered that a group supervised by Deputy Führer Martin Bormann,6 second in command of Germany, was transmitting unsupervised coded radio messages to Moscow:

“Our suspicions were largely confirmed when, independently of one another, we found out that Bormann and his group were operating an unsupervised radio transmitter network and using it to send coded messages to Moscow. When OKW monitors reported this, Canaris demanded an investigation; but word came back that Hitler himself had emphatically forbidden any intervention: he had been informed in advance by Bormann of these Funkspiele, or fake radio messages, he said, and he had approved them.” — Reinhard Gehlen, The Service: The Memoires of General Reinhard Gehlen

…continued…

The only way to ensure that fake radio messages were being sent to Moscow, and not the latest Wehrmacht movements in the Eastern theater of operations, is to have such radio messages supervised by intelligence officers vetted for counterintelligence operations. It’s one thing for Hitler to approve fake radio messages, but there’s no excuse to not have the fake radio messages supervised by experienced counterintelligence officers. To refuse to implement this critical standard operating supervisory procedure cries out treason, since even Bormann himself should have wanted to ensure none of his subordinates were transmitting sensitive information to Moscow. The fact that Hitler refused such elementary precautions informs us that Hitler & Company were Marxist agents, sabotaging the German war effort from Berlin. In fact, it was the winter of 1941-42 that Gehlen and fellow generals had assessed that the Soviet campaign was a hopeless enterprise “…not because it could not be militarily or politically won, but because of Hitler’s continued interference, which resulted in such elementary blunders that defeat was inevitable.”8

In fact, “It was not until after 1946, when I headed my own intelligence organization, that I had an opportunity to look into Bormann’s mysterious escape form Hitler’s Berlin bunker and his subsequent disappearance. Some time later I received conclusive proof of Bormann’s postwar movements. During the 1950s I was passed two separate reports from behind the Iron Curtain to the effect that Bormann had been a Soviet agent and had lived after the war in the Soviet Union under the cover as an advisor to the Moscow government, and has died in the meantime.” — General Reinhard Gehlen, “The Service: The Memoirs of General Reinhard Gehlen”, p. 71 (1972).

Hitler allowed Marxists to infiltrate the National Socialist German Workers’ Party and its militarized entities, yet he refused to ensure that Bormann’s subordinates weren’t transmitting Wehrmacht movements to Moscow!

Gehlen details Hitler’s sabotage of Germany’s Soviet campaign:

(1) The General Staff wanted to concentrate resources on capturing Moscow, since Moscow was the Command & Control location for Soviet forces. Hitler insisted on dissipating the effort on three fronts.

(2) The General Staff saw that the Soviets were going to entrap the Sixth Army at Stalingrad, and demanded a strategic withdrawal. Hitler vetoed this and 200,000 of Germany’s best troops were lost, including the loss of irreplaceable weaponry.

(3) To replace these losses, the General Staff wanted to recruit millions of willing volunteers from anti-Communist ranks, i.e. Russians, Ukrainians, Lithuanians etc., “After twenty years of arbitrary injustice and terror, the reestablishment of elementary human rights such as the dignity of man, liberty, justice, and the sanctity of property united every inhabitant of the Soviet empire (insofar as he was not directly working for the Moscow system) in a common readiness to support the Germans. What could be more natural for us than to exploit this readiness?”9 Hitler’s policy of treating Slavs as sub-human sabotaged any meaningful attempt in turning captured Soviet soldiers into German allies.

Too true. the German Jews felt they were so far superior to the Eastern Jews in Poland that Hitler wouldn’t harm them, something which they soon learned was incorrect. The German Jews were the source of the Reform Jewish movement which was supposed to be more modern and the division to which most American Jews belong. The Reform Jews are the ones most likely to be Liberal and willing to slit their own throats. It’s the conservative and Orthodox Jews that are less likely to be willing to sacrifice themselves and Israel to the Moslems and other anti-Semites.

Hi DW.

Liberalism isn’t against Israel: it’s against Jews and Judaism. All but the very most secular Jews, and even then.

Oh, they’ll take the money… oh, yes. Harvey Weinstein could leave a trail of casting-couch skanks, just like Kneepads Harris, and they thought this was fan-damn-tastic… as long as he was writing the checks.

So they’ll pretend to like Jews, but do they?

No. Mooslims are more useful. Mooslims get the pity vote, and that’s the path to power. All lines align to that objective.

Rich Jews are welcome to give their money, because that’s useful.
Mooslims are welcome to bend the pity-vote towards the commies, because that’s useful.
Actual feelings for either group? Less than zero.

The demoncrats have been the party of white privilege since they day they were born. They are the founders of the Clan (spelled that way to avoid the bots), and we all know what that was against.

President Rapeyfingers and Speaker Holy-losi are only allowed to call themselves RC if they simultaneously renounce every practice it is based on, starting with grinding up the unborn.

If it ain’t privilege as a path to power, it ain’t demoncrat. Period.

It has zero to do with the location, and all to do with the people. Any people who have actual faith are the enemy, unless they bring something else to the table.

Orthodox Jews are a great, great case in point. Who is more hated by the leaders of NYC than the orthodox?

No money? Die. Pro-Life? Die. Actual Faith of any kind? Die.

It’s not the land that the demoncrats hate; it’s the Faith. Communists are rabid atheists. Rabid. Only money makes them pretend otherwise, and that’s just an act…

Sadly intelligent but low-info people can develop “herd-immunity” to commonsense and will do foolish things that make no sense while ignoring the obvious nor even explore the not so obvious way to safety.

“Isaiah 6:9,10
And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not…
Jeremiah 27:10
For they prophesy a lie unto you, to remove you far from your land; and that I should drive you out, and ye should perish
Isaiah 66:4
I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none did answer; when I spake, they did not hear: but they did evil before mine eyes, and chose that in which I delighted not.

2 Timothy 4:4
So they will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths

Those who claim that the defunct ‘Palestinian’ nationality still exists is a Marxist enabler of Israel’s Marxist enemies by regurgitating the ‘Palestinian’ canard, a nationality that was created for the JEWISH HOMELAND in 1923 under the League of Nations ‘Mandate for Palestine’…

The eleventh edition of the Encylopaedia Britannica was published in 29 volumes in 1910 and 1911. They were published by Cambridge University and by the Encyclopaedia Britannica Company. (Except where noted by ‘(EBC)’, the Internet Archive page scans linked below are from the Cambridge University Press imprint. The Gutenberg transcriptions may be from either imprint.)…

Google: The Encyclopaedia Britannica: A Dictionary of Arts, Sciences, Literature and General Information (11th edition, 1910-1911)

Palestine – Volume 20, P. 626

Druze – Volume 8, P. 603

Alawites – Ansarieh (Nusayri)- Volume 26, P.307

If the distinct ‘Palestinian People’ existed pre-World War I, then the Encylopaedia Britannica would list them, so let’s take a look at the 1910 Encylopaedia Britannica.

The Druze are mentioned under their own heading, Volume 8 (p. 603). The Alawites (Nosairis) are mentioned under the heading Syria, Volume 26 (p.307). The ‘Palestinian People’ are neither to be found listed under their heading nor the heading for Palestine, Volume 20 (p. 604), and not listed under the heading for Syria, Volume 26 (p. 307).

In fact, the League of Nations created two states for the Druze and Alawites,* but none was created for the ‘Palestinians’ because they didn’t exist, hence why the Jewish Homeland was given this NEW nationality.
————————–
* The defunct Jabal al-Druze and the Alawite State, both states merging back with Syria.

NO SUCH THING AS A PALESTINIAN OR PALESTINE. They are simply ARABS who want to take Israel from its rightful owners.

BTW Ms Sarsour: without that interest on loans and credit cards, you cannot pay the people who give you those loans and cc. IT IS CALLED ‘JOBS’, which I guess YOU have never heard of. However, one thing you left out in your Tweet is that IF YOU FAIL TO PAY, EVEN 1 MONTH OVERDUE, YOU GO TO PRISON AND YOUR LEADERS TAKE AWAY EVERYTHING YOU OWN. So, ISLAM HAS NO MERCY OR REDEMPTION in its ideology. ISLAM IS AN IDEOLOGY OF HATRED FOR ANYONE WHO IS NOT MUSLIM.

CHRISTIANITY in the NEW TESTAMENT, IS NOTHING BUT MERCY AND REDEMPTION, EVEN FOR MUSLIMS.

I THINK I WILL STICK WITH CHRISTIANITY/ZIONISM, thank you very much!

I could never figure out why Jews cling so tightly to Liberal ideals and the Democratic party. True Liberalism died when Kennedy was assassinated. The Democratic party is so far left that even the air we breathe is racist. The antisemitic attacks Jew’s endure while living in that vermin infested NYC is beyond me. I am not Jewish by any relation. In fact I am tired of pointing out something so obviously dangerous to them that the warnings have become part of the norm. How many assaults does it take for a community of people to finally say enough is enough and perform a mass exodus to another city or possibly another country?
In fact why do I care about Jews? Because I see the canary in the mine and it’s yellow feathers are stained red.

Many secular Jews, particularly under 40, have replaced their Jewish faith with Leftist ideology. it gives them the perceived status and acceptance they crave. In the end, it’s just more assimilation except unlike previous generations, they are abandoning support for Israel.
The statistical reality is that this is resulting in a shrinking secular Jewish population at a time when Orthodox Judaism is exploding. Today, Orthodox Jews are 20% of the population but Pew Research has estimated that in the next 30 years, there will be as many Orthodox Jews in America as Secular Jews.
