The Jewish American Dilemma - The Paradox of Jewish Liberalism
... The Hamas war has exposed a deep current of animosity against Israel and against Jews generally world-wide... A mass formation psychosis appears to grip many population groups... often expressing itself as a longing for death, ranging from the economic suicide of Western Europe to the rise of Jihad...
American Jews have also been major players in the political Left through the past hundred-odd years, and especially within the Democratic Party...
Tikkun Olam means repair the world... American Jews... had a different agenda in the USA after World War Two. They endeavored to repair America...
This became a growing fiasco for American Jewish liberals, who, by the 1980s, then strove to impose another set of repairs (more tikkun olam) on American society: multiculturalism...
But the worst byproduct of all this tragically misguided tikkun olam is that the main political vehicle for it, the Democratic Party, has gone so insane that it now devotes itself fanatically to the utter destruction of what remains of our country...
The Democratic Party has decided it's okay to use the law in bad faith to persecute and jail its political opponents. The Democratic Party has destroyed Americans' faith in the federal courts, the Department of Justice, and the FBI. The Democratic Party allows an invasion of millions of unvetted aliens across the border... The Democratic Party is still pushing Covid vaccinations... You could easily make the case that the Democratic Party is the anti-American Party.
If they really want to repair the world, it's time for Jewish Americans to get out of the Democratic Party and re-assimilate into an American common culture...

The Paradox of Jewish Liberalism - What use is a Jewishness that blinds you to hatred of Jews? by Charles Fain Lehman, City Journal, 15 November 2023:
... The anti-Semitic elements of the American Left, from funders to campus activists, have been obvious for years, even decades. It is at turns refreshing and off-putting, therefore, to see other Jews wake up to what we already knew...
Many American Jews are liberals out of a profound, identity-level connection between their Judaism and their liberalism - a connection that developed alongside Jewish-American identity. It is this association that consistently blinds them to the anti-Semitism of others on the left; only by unearthing this tension can they overcome it...
American Jews, it should be emphasized, are remarkably liberal... Indeed, Jewish ethnogenesis - the process by which Jews became Jewish-Americans - has often entailed making Judaism synonymous with progressivism.
That was true among the first major wave of Jewish immigrants, who arrived from Germany in the mid-nineteenth century. These new Americans brought with them the roots of modern reform Judaism, which emerged out of and was inspired by a move toward Enlightenment rationalism within German Jewry...
To reap the rewards America offered, many Jews rearticulated their values in universalistic terms; so that they might no longer dwell apart, American Jews made liberalism the universalizing substitute for particular, tribal identity...
But inhabiting that identity requires disregarding the anti-Semitic rot that has infested mainstream liberal institutions, and that threatens from both sides of the political spectrum...
Tikkun Olam is no longer an adequate reason to vote for the Democrats...
