A RABBI STRONGLY DENOUNCES
AT LEAST 70% of AMERICAN JEWRY
Many American Jews Need to Atone for Their Sins Against President Donald J. Trump
American Thinker
October 6, 2019
by Rabbi Aryeh Spero
America has seen many presidents who have been good to Israel and the Jewish people. None has been better than Donald Trump. Beyond doubt, he has done unmatched and extraordinarily good things for Israel, and has publicly spoken against anti-Semitism in the United Nations and repeatedly during his State of the Union addresses.
The whole world has seen the priority Mr. Trump bestows on Israel and safety for Jews. Additionally, he and his father were tremendous friends and benefactors to Jews and Israel, much prior to his entering politics. Yet the establishment Jewish organizations and temples have too often falsely maligned him, and liberal American Jewry (about 70% of American Jewry) have been his most vocal critics.
Actually, they are in the forefront against him, as often seen on television, in articles, and in speeches from non-orthodox rabbis on the pulpit. Even among regular liberal Jews, the railing against Mr. Trump is incessant, hysterical, mean, and full of hate. All of this constitutes gross, unprecedented ingratitude. Jewish Tradition frowns on ingratitude, indeed calls it a sin.
Many in the secular Jewish community do not consider their attitude ungrateful inasmuch as support for Israel is no longer important to them, and they seem undaunted when anti-Semitism comes from the political Left (their home), or from social justice warriors and certain "minorities." What they consider good for Jews most often has nothing to do with Jewish needs at all, but rather a universalist agenda at odds with Jewish survival.
In their zeal to destroy and remove Mr. Trump from the presidency, they have gone beyond ingratitude to downright lying about him, scheming against him, and throwing normal fairness and decency out the window.
Yom Kippur, the annual Day of Atonement, falls this week. One of the most prominent prayers is "for the sins we have committed," a list of grievous sins that may apply to the penitent, thereby requiring atonement. Thus, now may be the best and most appropriate time to review the sins many within the Jewish community continue to wage against President Trump.
Perhaps they should begin some reflection and introspection regarding their three years of ferocious attacks and lies against a man who loves Israel and America and longs for Jewish individuals and children to be safe from terrorism. No doubt, there are as well other sins against innocent people that should be pondered, including sins even against Israel and Jewish peoplehood.
* * *
Adam Schiff: For the sin of bearing false witness, excessive lying, deceit, and tale-bearing against President Trump.
Chuck Schumer: For the sin of raging ambition, forked tongue, and "standing idly by while the blood of your brothers" is spilt in Brooklyn and while Israel remains threatened by an Obama Iran deal you refused to fight against.
Jerrold Nadler: For the sin of revenge, deceit, and falsehood against President Trump.
Eliot Engel: For the sin of allowing an enemy of your people, Ilhan Omar, to remain seated and powerful on your House Foreign Affairs Committee.
Richard Blumenthal: For the sin of sky-high arrogance, bullying, and using the law for injustice, and the sin of seeking to defame and destroy Brett Kavanaugh, an innocent man.
Jonathan Greenblatt, head of the ADL: For the sin of defamation, and deliberately and repeatedly lying about President Trump, strongly implying to the world the canard that Mr. Trump is an anti-Semite, encourages anti-Semitism, and is sympathetic to Nazis. In other words, the sin of maliciousness. For the sin of ignoring the real anti-Semitism against the Jewish people coming from Mr. Greenblatt's allies on the political Left. It is the sin of being derelict in your duty to the Jewish people and the sin of leading people astray.
Dianne Feinstein: For the sin of deceit and lying in trying to destroy Justice Kavanaugh, and the sin of trying to humiliate Israel's prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu publicly,
.
Nita Lowey: For the sin of remaining silent while Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez malign Israel and the Jewish people.
Jan Schakowsky, John Yarmuth, and Steve Cohen: For the sin of publicly humiliating the prime minister of Israel and spreading falsehoods about Mr. Trump, Republicans, and Evangelical Christians.
Bernie Sanders: For the sin of trying to impoverish and take away liberty from the American people in behalf of an imposed socialism/communism. And the sin of constant anger and economic hypocrisy. For the sin of being the first candidate for president to demonize Israel formally, hold high the banner of those wishing to destroy Israeli Jews, and make "kosher" anti-Israel bias. After all, it must be okay if a Jew like Bernie makes it part of his platform. For the sin of distorting history.
Steve Cohen, again: For the sin, as well as those above, of soiling the image of Jewish people by eating fried chicken like a slovenly pig in front of the House of Representatives and the country.
America's Reform Rabbis: For the sin of making the criticism of Israel your #1 priority and elevating Islamic terrorists and their narrative against Israel. The sin of misrepresenting Judaism as Marxism and hedonism. The sin of hating Donald Trump in your hearts and on your sleeves. For the sin of falsehoods and maliciousness by making statements accusing President Trump of anti-Semitism and pro-Nazi sympathies. It's a lie.
For your sin of leading American Jews away from our historic and biblical beliefs and pushing Radical Socialism and Cultural Marxism.
For the sin of looking down on America and its people, and the sin of demonizing America and most of its people as racists, mean-spirited, and anti-Semitic. For the sin of arrogance and self-worship.
Bill Kristol and Max Boot: For the sin of vanity, excessive vanity, and hating a man in your hearts. For the sin of selfishness, immaturity, revenge, and inability to rise above your own self-interest. The sin of renouncing what your formerly believed if you are no longer the official spokesmen appointed to say it. The sin of affiliating with destructive allies that but yesterday you would have denounced.
David Frum: Strictly Frum hunger
Peter Beinart: For the sin of self-hate, distortion of Judaism, and using Judaism simply as a tool to achieve your leftist, universalist agenda. The sin of bringing down Israel...all in the name of “Judaism."
Jennifer Rubin: The sin of hysteria, rumor-mongering, and false statements. You have betrayed.
America's Liberal Rabbis: The sin of ascribing to yourself a moral and intellectual superiority over fellow Americans. The sin of assuming that Americans necessarily are racist and that their love of country and nation is rooted not in love of country, but in racism. The sin of being exclusionary in the name of inclusiveness. The sin of being false prophets and falsifying the term "Tikkun O'lam" into massive social engineering by the "right people" and instituting trans-national socialism.
The Sulzbergers of the New York Times: The sin of whitewashing Islamic Jew-hatred, as you did 70 years ago regarding Nazi Jew-hatred. The sin of ignoring your responsibility to honest journalism and, instead, devoting your staff and time to bringing down falsely a man who did nothing that fits your concocted and manufactured falsehoods. The sin of lying, betrayal of trust, and the sin of hubris and arrogance. The sin of rewriting American history in such a way that Americans will be embarrassed by our history and thus reject our founding and our system and nation.
Bob Creamer: For the sins of dirty tricks.
Ben Rhodes: For the sin of being an enemy of your people and casting aside truth for the sheer game of winning in politics.
Jeff Zucker and Brian Stelter: The sin of hate, lying, maliciousness, and gain. You are destroying the country. The sin of being the pawn and mouthpiece of Nancy Pelosi...a woman questing power and revenge. The sin of lusting to destroy the entire Trump family.
Most Secular Atheistic, and Leftist Jews: For the sin of hating Donald Trump in your heart and mind simply because he will not bow and cave to your universalist, trans-nationalist agenda. You have become a "shanda." For the sin of calling President Trump "Hitler." For the sin of being so exclusive that you no longer care or even consider what other Americans value and hold dear, nor do you apprehend their goodness. For the sin of thinking you are better than everybody else — in other words, self-righteousness.
Jewish Left-Wing Ttrivializers of the Holocaust: For the sin of universalizing everything Jewish so that detention centers in Arizona are just as bad as concentration camps; ICE and Homeland Security are Nazis; immigration policies are Gestapo; and President Trump, for wanting to protect the American people, is Hitler. Shame on you!
Left-Wing Seminaries: For the sin of taking a great religion and turning it into a socialist, America-hating, hedonistic, moral relativist ideology. For the sin of Chillul Hashem: desecrating God's name and the name of His people.
NeverTrumpers: The sins of jealousy, covetousness, ambition, and arrogance...and human small mindednness.
Hopefully, God will transform the darkness residing in their hearts, the toxin of TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome), and they will be cleansed and spare Mr. Trump, and the country, further abuse.
Hopefully, some of Trump's detractors will leave the herd and join the almost 30% of American Jewry and over 70% of Israelis who enthusiastically see in President Trump a uniquely courageous force for innovation and good as well as the best hope to save Western Civilization.
AMEN!

DeleteBASELESS, DESTRUCTIVE NEGATIVE VIEWS ARE NOT WELCOME, ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY ARE OFF-TOPIC.
Please take your moronic sourpussed assertions, and bilious temperament somewhere else. Neither YOU, nor what you REPRESENT have any PLACE whatsoever at THIS blog. PERIOD!
I oppose this sickness in all its forms!
ReplyDeleteYour omment is much too vague to be taken seriously, Lois.
DeleteI have no idea what your are talking about, and neither do any of our "silent readers'" either I'm sure.
Every sane person opposes sickness, if that's what it is, but [ease tell us precisely to WHAT are you referring?
I hope you'll come back and elucidate, –– as long as you're not a partisan leftist troll that is.
POLLS: IMPEACHMENT SUPPORT GROWS --DRUDGE REPORT, OCT. 8, 2019
ReplyDeleteThis is an affirmation of Americans coming to their senses.
God Bless America!
Remember hw the polls in which you seem to have such fait were ONE-HUNDRED PERCENT WRONG when they predicted the rumpsprung, desperately unattractive, chronically disingenuous, quintessentially venal Mrs. Clinton would win handily over candidate DonaldTrump.
DeleteThe pollsters all wound up with egg all over their dishonest faces –– not that it fazed them one iota –– shameless partisan hacks that they are.
Pols, I believe, as are manipulated and every bit as false as the so-called Mainstream Media, whch is uniformly BIASED in favor of LEFTIST candidates and AGAINST anyone or anything that promotes, supprts and defends CONSERVATIVE ideals and values.
The Manstream Press is trly the ENEMEDIA in its ceaseless quest to subvert the Constitution and defy democratic principles.
GOD BLESS A_M_E_R_I_C_A, indeed –– but DAMN the DEMONRATS, the MARXIST PROFESSORIAT now dominates our universities and has polluted and perverted young minds for several generations. And GOD DAMN the Marxian, Globalist supporting ENEMEDIA tjhat has done incalculable harm to the morale, the moral fiber and Founding Principles that made our nation great.
God BLESS the honorable and courageous Rabbi who broke ranks and wrote the featured article above revealing the TRUTH about the shameful, pernicious influence too many American Jews have wielded against America's once robust, confident, forward thinking culture and defining principles.rabbi Spero is hardly alone. David Horowitz, Michael Savage, Dennis Prager, and latterly the powerfully articulate attorney Jay Sekolow have lbeen in the vanguard of an increasingly powerful Jewish movement to shun the Marxism, Socialism and Progressivism that had previously defined –– and stigmatized –– them.

DeleteI took your remark as a form of support for my position, Patsy, but at THIS blog I've established a policiy of NOT naming our adversaries, NOTdenouncing them, anc certainly never QUOTING them –– an all-too-common practice in the blogosphere.
DeleteWhy give THEM free publicity?
We are surrounded and suffused with SO MUCH depressing, enervating NEGATIVITY everywhere we go I'm doing my best not to add to it –– at least not on THESE pages. ;-)
I'm well aware of the identity of "Aninymous," and of corse I DELEtE him every time I spot any of his idiotic taunts and gibes, but I can't be here ALL the time, beause I have several irons in the fire that require a lot of my attention, so sometimes garbage slips in.
No harm done. I'm in cintrol here, and happy to ride herd on any "marauders" who stop by to use this blog as a toilet.
I don't want to go n moderation, because it too often discourages WOrthWHILE individuals from commenting.
So, thanks for you support, Patsy, but please in th future do your best to keep your remarks POSITIVE.. Tell us what you LIKE instead of dwelling on the opposite.
THANKS.

ReplyDeleteEvery once in a great while we have to permit one of the army of bigotted leftist morons to show us just how stupid, immature, incredibly disrespectful, rude, and shallow the Left really is.
DeleteTHIS is the one example we'll exhibit here today. Others of the same depressing ilk will be DELETED on contact.

DeleteMuch is being said about why 'the chosen one' has made this move. But keep in mind, his handlers are threatening Congress, "You follow through on the impeachment, and before he goes down, el presidente stupido will tear up all treaties, alliances, allegiances, and agreements. He will burn down the USA."

Ema You’re Not only Dumb, you’re a Disgusting Kind of Dumb.
DeleteJust like the rest of you Progressives!
EMA!
DeleteLong time no see! I thought you had disappeared forever. It's been YEARS since you've made an appearance in any of the circles in which I noramlly travel.
If it really IS you, Ema, and not some impostor, you might remember we enjoyed several civilized exchanges years ago, despite our having polar opposite views on politics.
I miss those kinder, gentler, more mannerly days when having a different opnion didn't automatically make one a deadly enemy.
Unthinking, unbending, reflexive enmity is so incredibly BORING!
I do have to say, however, that your assertion that the president is somehow "threatening" CONGRESS, when in truth the exactopposite is happening strkes me as bitterly hilarious.
More and more given the mounting evidence to support it, I have come to believe that the Parallel Universe Theory may very well be true after all.
Even so, I'm rather glad to see you again, Ema, and hope, despite our considerabl differences, that life has been treating you well since our last encounter.

OaR, I understand your feelings, but I must ask you please not to insult, berate, or browbeat any of our bloggng cleaves no matter how despicable you find their point of view.
DeleteI am determined not to allow this place to become like Lisa'sitterbox. I HOP you know WHY, do you?
Trump’s Presidency Is in Peril
ReplyDeleteThe president needs to maintain his rock-solid support from Republican voters to avoid impeachment. A new poll and fresh GOP defections show cracks with his base.
The trendlines for Trump are not encouraging. If even a small number of Republicans start to speak out—building cracks in Trump’s solid GOP wall of support—it’s easy to see how things crater quickly. Soft Trump supporters who follow cues from their party leaders could defect. The political antibodies protecting Trump from impeachment have already dissipated in record speed.
At the beginning of the scandal, many pundits thought Democrats were facing more political risk in calling for an impeachment inquiry. Just two weeks later, it’s clear that Trump’s presidency is in peril.
A Positive Comment
ReplyDeleteCracks are starting to appear in Trumps support. His support is in the the 40% range with 25% being solid and unwavering regardless what decisions Trump makes, good or bad. 15% of his base support is less strident and it is this 15% that may break and ultimately support an impeachment vote in the senate.
It appears Trump is moving in the direction Nixon did in 1974, this is likely a mistake as we all know how well it worked out for Nixon. Perhaps Trump, if he is indeed innocent of allegations, should take a more accommodating cooperative position and let Congress see the documentation and hear the arguments that would prove his innocence.
Impeachment is a political process and whether it ultimately results in Trump being impeached and removed from office will be determined by the support for such action by the voting public. Trump can win this "fight" if he is smart and does it right.
I should DELETE your comment, because it does'nt even pretend to relate to the subject of Rabbi Spero's procovative, highly informative article.
DeleteI'll let it stay, however, partly because it's well-written, though I find the content disagreeable, and partly to show my army of crude, rude, mindlessly abusive deractors that I AM fair-minded enough to let views with which I dosagree remain, as long as they are politely and responsibly phrased.
I stay out of family conflicts, and that is what this is. I have also come to absolutely detest people wielding religion as a weapon in the political arena. I am convinced the "Religious Right" shares a great deal of blame for Christianity's waning influence in America.
ReplyDeleteI do congratulate the good rabbi on a witty and well-written essay.
A. We should be able by now to recgnize that "JEWISHNESS" is NOT a RELIGION so much as it is an ETHNIC and CULTURAL STATE of BEING that regards itself as UNIQUE, SEPARATE from and SUPERIOR to all other cultures and ethnicities..
DeleteB. Since the Jewish Presence is extremely powerful and influential as it functions in the larger context of American Society, it is all-but-impossible to think of Rabbi Spero's pointed criticial analysis as a mere "family matter."
HE, apparently, sees what I have seen for several decades that Jewish Intellectuals –– most of them alienated, disaffected atheists who have strongly identified with MARXIAN DIALECTICS –– have had a powerfully deleteriius effect on the traditions and mores of American society –– as it was before the Curse of Progressivism (i.e. crypto-Marxism) took root and became noxious and invasive.
When a JEW not only SEES this, but publicly ADMITS it, and then DENOUNCES it, I beieve that shuld be recogozed s IMPORTANT news, because it BREAKS a longstandingTABOO that has had a stranglehold on public discourse for far too long.
That TABOO by the way is defiitely the ROOT of the accursed Political Correctness that has held us up by the short hairs and has all-but-killed Freedom of Speech as understood by our Founding Fathers.
If you want to doubt this, because it feels "risky," possibly painful, and maybe even personally dangerous to acknowledge, I strongly urge you to read RADICAL SON, David Horowitz's epic, groundbreaking autobiographical story of his upbringing in a Jewish Enclave in New York City populated entirely by COMMUNISTIC JEWS who were fanatically determined to OVERTHROW the American system of governance we inherited from our Founders, and REPLACE it with s SOVIET-STYLE DICTATORSHIT of the PROLETARIAT.
These JEWS, –– many of them American-Born ––, wanted to do to US what the BOLSHEVIKS did to CZARIST RUSSIA.

Recognizing and publicly admitting the does NOT make one a "NAZI."
I did not call anyone a nazi.
DeleteIf there is a change in outlook of Jewish citizens, it will come from within, not by baying packs of rightwing fundamentalists zealots.
About 7-8 months ago the media fell hard for the story of Jussie Smollett. Smollett, a gay, black actor on the TV show “Empire,” falsely claimed that he was attacked by two Donald Trump-loving rednecks on the mean streets of Chicago. Smollett said that he was out in the middle of the night in Chicago, purchasing a Subway sandwich, when two men who recognized him from “Empire” began to call him a “f—–” and a “n—–.” They then looped a rope around his neck and poured bleach on him while shouting, “This is MAGA country!”
ReplyDeleteThere were a few problems with this story. First, Trump fans are not exactly the chief demographic for “Empire” (Nielsen estimates the show’s audience is 61 percent black). Second, Chicago is not exactly MAGA (Make America Great Again) country — only 12.5 percent of votes cast for president in 2016 went to Trump. Third, Smollett never lost control of his sandwich. Fourth, Smollett then waited 40 minutes to report the attack. Fifth, when the police asked for his phone to verify his claim that his manager had heard the attack, he refused.
Nonetheless, the Smollett attack dominated media coverage for weeks, with Smollett appearing on ABC’s “Good Morning America” to castigate his doubters as racists. Actress Ellen Page told Stephen Colbert’s late-night talk-show audience that the attack was Mike Pence’s fault. CNN’s Brooke Baldwin lamented, “This is America in 2019.”
Except it wasn’t. Smollett, it turned out, allegedly paid two of his friends to stage the attack. Smollett’s story, then, was false. The media allowed it to flower — and propped up Smollett’s claims that doubters were bigots — because it fit their narrative of America as deeply racist and homophobic in the era of Donald Trump. Even after the story fell apart, commentator Liz Plank of Vox appeared on CNN to explain, “There has been an increase in hate crimes against the LGBTQ community, against Muslims, against black people.”
I believe that's true, BUT ––
DeleteFirst. it's already ancient, well-publicized history
Second: Most of us hve known all this for MINTHS, so why repeat here NOW?
Third: I can't see that it relates in any way to Rabbi Spero's extraordinarily revealing article
Fourth: When you visit a blog it's only proper manners o make a POINT of addressing the designanted TOPIC of the post –– in this case the effect the disloyalty, seditiousness, and pointedly anti-American views of too many American Jews in the ENEMEDIA, the Educational System, the Law, and of course, Popular Entertainment.
I can't understand your apparent lack f CURIOSITY about THAT.
A word of advice: Please don't be SO eager to share YOUR feelings before you've allowd yourself to experience some genuin CURIOSITY about what OTHERS have to say.
That's quite a list that the rabbi has provided!
ReplyDeleteliberal American Jewry (about 70% of American Jewry) have been his [Trump's] most vocal critics
It is a disgrace that merely some 30% of American Jewry loves America.
I certainly agree, though those made and others like them would veemently deny the truth of what the Rabbis s said, and start acting as though Holocaust II were about to begin if ANYONE DARES criticize ANY Jews for ANY reason.
DeleteEveryone ELSE is Fair Game, but THEY must be held EXEMPT from and IMMUNE to critical analysis of any kind.
Christians aren't following Trump; they're following God and defending this country against the likes of leftist, statist bootlicks and lemmings like that Lunatic over at the Progressive Blog.
