Leftards? You mean the Jews themselves? You know nothing about them yet you cheer them on whilst their ideologies Tax Enslave you deeper and deeper.
Jews have been major forces in the history of the labor movement, the settlement house movement, the women's rights movement, anti-racist and anti-colonialist work, and anti-fascist and anti-capitalist organizations of many forms in Europe, Canada, the United States, Australia, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, the Ottoman Empire, Algeria, Iraq, Ethiopia, South Africa, Palestine, and the State of Israel.[1][2][3][4]
Jews have a history of involvement in anarchism, socialism, Marxism, and Western liberalism. The expression "on the left" encompasses a range of political positions. Many individuals associated with left-wing politics have been Jews born into Jewish families, with varying degrees of connection to Jewish communities, cultures, traditions, or religious practices.
How do Jews feel about the Zionist bloodlust?
A new wave of the resurgence of Jewish left-wing activism emerged in late 2023, coinciding with the Israeli invasion of the Gaza Strip following the October 7 attacks.[39][40] According to Jay Ulfelder, this period marked "the largest and broadest pro-Palestinian mobilization in U.S. history".[41] This movement included the largest recorded Jewish American demonstration in support of Palestine[42] and the largest pro-Palestinian demonstration in U.S. history, the National March on Washington: Free Palestine. Several new Jewish leftist organizations and coalitions were established, including Jews Say No to Genocide (Toronto),[43][44] the Tzedek Collective (Victoria, British Columbia),[45][46] Gliklekh in Goles (Vancouver),[47] Shoresh (United States),[48][49] and Rabbis for Ceasefire (United States),[50][51] while existing anti-Zionist Jewish groups, such as Jewish Voice for Peace, experienced significant membership growth.[52]
During this period, traditionally liberal Zionist Jewish groups generally adopted positions supporting the State of Israel.[53] Groups such as J Street and the Anti-Defamation League opposed calls for a ceasefire and expressed support for continued Israeli military operations in Gaza, leading to internal dissent and staff resignations.[54][55][56][57] By January 2024, J Street had advocated for a qualified end to Israel's military campaign,[58] while the Anti-Defamation League maintained its opposition to anti-Zionist and other Jewish leftist groups calling for a ceasefire, characterizing some as "hate groups" and collaborating with law enforcement to oppose the 2024 pro-Palestinian protests on university campuses.[59][60][61][62]
The Progressive Israel Network, a coalition of ten liberal and progressive Zionist Jewish organizations—including Ameinu, Americans for Peace Now, Habonim Dror North America, Hashomer Hatzair, The Jewish Labor Committee, J Street, the New Israel Fund, Partners for Progressive Israel, Reconstructing Judaism, and T'ruah—was established in 2019.[63] Many of these organizations experienced internal debate regarding their positions on Israel in the years leading up to the war in Gaza.[64][65][66][67] Following the onset of Israeli military operations in Gaza, staff members from nearly all Progressive Israel Network organizations signed an open letter advocating for a ceasefire.[55][68][69] Several of these groups participated in the 2023 March for Israel during the war under the banner of a "Peace Bloc". Reporting on the event for Jewish Currents, journalist Mari Cohen observed that by "attending the November 14th March for Israel and refusing to call for a ceasefire, many progressive Jewish groups have cast their lot with the Jewish mainstream".[53]
