Trump's victory can only be good for Israel and hopes for an end to the war, return of the hostages, and full support for Israel in their war against hamas, hezbollah, iran, houthis, and whoever and whatever threatens Israel and Jews in general. Trump will support Israel in not recognizing the unwra and provide solid support for Israel in the UN and on the world stage. As for Trump's victory and the reasons for it, not complicated. They indicted him with BS felonies, took his mug shot, they convicted and tried to imprison him, they filed a BS civil case against him before a biased judge and tried to take his money, they tried to keep him off the ballot in some states, they even shot him, and he rises up with fist raised and says "Fight, fight, fight." There is a story in that. In a way, it is also the story of Jews worldwide, and of Israel.
This election was a complete repudiation of the woke agenda and the Obama led direction of the agenda of the Democratic Party which favored doing business with Iran at the expense of the national security of the US and Israel.. Whether the Democrats will tack back to a more moderate approach remains doubtful as long as Obama, as pointed by Lee Smith on numerous occasions, continues to run the party with his dangerous skills as a Chicago ward politician and radical ideologue whose goal of "transforming America" was and is his ideology,. I would bet on the party continuing to veer to the left just as it did after 1968, when the influence of urban bosses and the heads of unions was weakended and the primary system produced hard left candidates who lost every presidential election as soft on crime and weak on national security . Clinton remains the only Democrat who successfully appeared to moderates and who attempted to govern as one since 1968. The road to political oblivion is littered with the unsuccessful campaigns of Mondale,, Dukakis , Gore , Kerry , Hilary Clinton and Harris-none of whom could broaden the Democratic base of public service unions and educated women and whose agenda now marginalized the Jewish community and its support of Israel against an Iran deal that remains naive and dangerous for both the US and Israel
Thank you so much for noticing that absurd Times quote, i.e. "The relative stability on domestic and international affairs during the last four years..." My goodness - where do they come up with this sh*t?
Howard Lutnik, his campaign co-coordinator is a Jew.
Dr. Miriam Adelson is one of his biggest donors.
His father donated land for a synagogue for Orthodox Jews who were tenants in one of his buildings
years ago.
His record while President toward Israel was impeccable.
That's not enough proof for you that maybe, just maybe, Trump isn't getting ready to attack everybody? Talk about not seeing the forest for the trees.
Enough already with the astroturf BS about Trump and anti-semitism.
If you like to torture yourself and find bogeymen, that's great. But stop and think if it makes sense
to vote for lunatics who actively support Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran, pay-to-slay. Those lunatics are called Democrats. You're voting for the party that is making life worse for everybody in Israel as well as the USA.
Exactly. One of his attorneys was Roy Cohn, so that knocks out the anti semite homophobe bs; he had Don King at his table many times through the years, knocking black racism off the list. And his first architect was a woman who did not sleep with him back when no one hired women in NYC. The Trump haters better make another falsehood list…
But Trump's an anti semite!! Get with the Program of Lunatic, Idiot Hypocrisy and just KEEP REPEATING IT!! That will MAKE IT TRUE!! YOU clearly aren't cut out to be a Libtard! 😁 just kidding - but I'm flabbergasted at the tropes still being pushed
It's truly stunning to see the brainwashing
But remember what Oracle Park told us!! Just blame Bibi!! It's ALL his fault (and Trump's!!)
Like many of us, I’ve been reading a lot of commentary today with more glee than usual. Surprisingly, this was the only article that mentioned Obama at all. Gosh, I wonder why. When do we hear from the oracle?
More than half of American Jews went to sleep last night devastated. And afraid. Perhaps we are wrong. But instead of offering reassurnace, you gloat. Instead of ofering reasons to underline why Trump is not a danger to democracy, you simply mock the suggestion. January 6, a civil court finding of sexual assualt, the hosting of anti-Semities in his home and his biggest cheerleader being a Holocaust denier. No sane person could be troubled by that? Then read your own articles about what the Jews who supported Trump said.
You project onto the Democrats your own intent. To get even. With whom? The Jewish disabled child who fears that under Trump her benefits may disappear? Or the Jewish young adult who identifies as trans-gender? Or the Jewish liberal who believes that Black Lives Matters just as much as Jewish lives? Or the New Israel Fund? J Street?
I thought Tablet promoted the concept of intelligent Jewish discusison based on the concept of arguments for the sake of heaven. But your smugness is nasty and unbecoming.
Your smugness reminds me of The The Garden of the Finzi-Continis where the Jews could not conceive that thier beloved Mussolini (who they had supported in his rise to power) would turn against them. Modern Jewish history tells us one thing. Jews are most safe in a country that protects the liberties of all its people. When it becomes acceptable to dehumanize any one group as vernim, or calling political opponents (such as the former Speaker of the House an enemy within), or when acts of violence are called a love fest, the signs are there whether you want to read them or not.
If you think others are wrong, explain why with reasoned arguments; not gleeful inmature rants intended to anger those who disagree with you.
I thought we were better than this. I thought Tablet was better than this.
First, I am not on the left. I am a moderate. And, yes, of course, I saw Jews being dehumanized this year. I saw Trump tell us that if he lost, we - less than two percent of the population - would be responsible. I saw a Democratic administration risk alienating its left flank by giving Israel tremendous support even as Bibi went out of his way to signal who he wanted to win. I saw Tucker Carlson promote Holocaust denial while he maintains a special relationship with Trump. Meanwhile I saw Harris refuse to let Palestinians speak at her convention. I saw her lose Arab American support because Trump circulated mailers and texts promoting Harris as to pro Israel.
And I saw no Jewish Trump supporter explaining why we should forgive Jan 6 or trust a man who betrayed his own Vice President. I saw no one explaining why from a US perspective we should stand with Israel and not Ukraine. Or why a movement based on isolationism is not a repeat of the 1930s.
My vote for Harris was about refusing to get into bed with a man who wants to silence the free press and has convinced the public that what he says is truth even when it is not. Harris is many things. But does anyone think she will refuse to certify this election ?
I have sought in vein for someone to explain to me why these risks are not real. Instead of calling them made up facts. More than half of America Jews are afraid. Reassure us. Don’t mock us.
But reassure us with facts.
Reassure us that when mass deportations begin you will not sit silent.
Reassure us that when Trump directs the Department of Justice to go after his opponents you will speak up. Reassure us that when he cuts off social security or Medicare or food stamps, you will speak up. Reassure us that when he pardons the Jan 6 criminals you will speak up.
Who was mocking you? Antisemitism is my top issue—literally WTF. I would recommend you look outside your current news sources. The Free Press could be a good place to start. The book “What’s Wrong With Us” by Tim Urban, and “Woke Antisemitism” by Bernstein are both written by liberals and extremely eye opening.
I am not sure I follow your logic here. Team Biden supported Israel’s defense strategies - but never anything else, not letting Israel win putting restrictions on Israel’s military actions every step of the way.
Ms.Harris accused Trump of being a Hitler, how is that for false advertising?
College pro-Hamas protests lasted for months - did Harris come out and condemned it, loud and clear, confirmed that such behavior is unacceptable and must be stopped, and she will seek to it?
Either way the result speaks for itself- Harris isn’t the person who matched the moment. She suffers from the confidence gap that a billion dollars of advertising could not hide.
Trump was president once - did he take away your food stamps, your favorite TV networks, your Medicare? What did he take away? He was even against COVID restrictions that most Democratic governors were too happy to impose.
On policy, Harris got nothing. You are not talking about the big issues that have been happening under current administration - loss of freedom of speech-sneaky censorship; the open border - human trafficking, sex slavery; disrespect for life - child mutilation and late-term abortion while pretending to be the guardians of women and children; etc.
Do any of these issues bother you, Mr. Feingold?
No, I didn’t think she would contest the election results - Democratic politburo knows she flopped and would not embarrass themselves by contesting. Why? She run for presidency in 2019 and flopped spectacularly, so most clear-minded voters didn’t buy her nomination. Her entire campaign was selling hot air to the voters.
Trump's braggadocia, exaggeration, and transgressions pale in comparison.
In addition …. Biden-Harris eviscerated Trump’s maximum pressure campaign on Iran (which had reduced its foreign currency reserves to under $10 billion). Under the democrats, Iran got $40 billion in renewed oil profits, which it used to fund the terrorism of H, H & H. The Houthis were removed from the official list of designated terrorist organizations. Harris said don’t go in to Rafah. (“I’ve seen the maps“). The weapons transfer slow downs. The lack of transparency regarding the Robert Malley leaking of confidential information to Iran. The recent leak from the Biden-Harris team of Israel’s planned retaliation to Iran’s 181 missiles. I could go on. Thankfully we don’t have to live with these appeasers much longer.
Uh dude? The Boston Tea Party? Unarmed protestors, FBI instigators (love you Mueller-such a mensch), garbage, creepy, weird, unstable, unhinged - what planet are you living on?
In response to Deb's question about the number of votes cast this time vs. 2020: Maybe it's because fewer dead people voted. And as for Vineland's suggestions of ways to deny the result of the election: Wow, those ideas are really completely illegal, right? Alternate slates of electors? What? Call out Liz Cheney, we need her now!!
The National Popular Vote Interstate Compact (NPVIC) is an agreement among a group of U.S. states to award all their EVs to whichever presidential ticket wins the overall popular vote in the 50 states.
Will Illinois and the other Blue States honor their commitment or remove this joke requirement from the books?
Yes, I had been thinking that it would be great to see states like Illinois and California, and my blue state Colordo , give up their EVs to DJT, LOL. I wonder now if those states will rethink their stupid move.
Kamala Lovers need to concede gracefully, there was NO fowl play! Israel would have been in great jeopardy with Harris at the helm. With the general public, she was not supported because she kept wedging her answers, sounding as if she didn't have a definite opinion on any topic. She spoke in canned platitudes. To much of the voting public, she did not present a convincing claim or plan of how she would capably restore the ailing economy. Clearly she did not want to antagonize those potentially voting for her, but the public appreciates & NEEDS honesty & directness! Trump's bedside manner leaves much to be desired, but he has Chutzpah & the backbone to stand up for whatever he believes in. I personally remember thinking that Harris was hostile & unlikable when I first saw her on the televised debates of 4 years ago. That impression stayed with me. What saddens me is the well-known statement that Jews will fight for fairness, inequity & justice for all the downtrodden, EXCEPT FOR THEMESELVES. A large part of our Jewish community is part of the Left , & the Left have not stayed true to their foundational principles such as equality, freedom, & Democracy. Instead, to quote a most articulate article in "Future of Jewish," The Left continuously moves the goalposts to accommodate misogyny, sexism, homophobia, Anti-Semitism, and other fascist ideologies they claim to abhor." May President-Elect, Donald Trump, continue the strong alliance he historically established with the Jewish Community & Israel; evidenced by support and protection. Equally as important, May he very concertedly & strongly use his Chutzpah & outspoken nature to very publicly disavow Anti-Semitism in the U.S. & Diaspora!
just for kicks I decided to read this. Not surprised at the call for "justice," but shockingly stupid nonetheless. Can't wait to see how happy you clowns will be in 4 years.
If Trump is a felon for paying some bimbo to go away, then Bill and Hillary Clinton and all members of their “bimbo eruptions” team should be buried under the supermax.
People will be parsing the demographics for weeks and months to come. More power to them.
Trump's victory may come down to a few simple factors, though. People are tired of working hard to pay other's debts, which never get paid in full. People are tired of being lied to and told what to do, a double insult if ever one there were.
Trump's victory can only be good for Israel and hopes for an end to the war, return of the hostages, and full support for Israel in their war against hamas, hezbollah, iran, houthis, and whoever and whatever threatens Israel and Jews in general. Trump will support Israel in not recognizing the unwra and provide solid support for Israel in the UN and on the world stage. As for Trump's victory and the reasons for it, not complicated. They indicted him with BS felonies, took his mug shot, they convicted and tried to imprison him, they filed a BS civil case against him before a biased judge and tried to take his money, they tried to keep him off the ballot in some states, they even shot him, and he rises up with fist raised and says "Fight, fight, fight." There is a story in that. In a way, it is also the story of Jews worldwide, and of Israel.
I pray God he kicks the UN out of this country and wipes the dust off his shoes on the accursed thing.

Thank you so much for noticing that absurd Times quote, i.e. "The relative stability on domestic and international affairs during the last four years..." My goodness - where do they come up with this sh*t?
HEY, NYT!
In the now immortal words of JD Vance (spoken to Dana Bash),
“ DO YOU HEAR YOURSELF?!!”
The reporters' restroom, of course. You had to ask??😁
Exactly.
Deb, I asked myself this question this morning after Pennsylvania was called for Trump:
How do these election results not prove that the 2020 election was stolen?
Trump's daughter is married to an Orthodox Jew.
Howard Lutnik, his campaign co-coordinator is a Jew.
Dr. Miriam Adelson is one of his biggest donors.
His father donated land for a synagogue for Orthodox Jews who were tenants in one of his buildings
years ago.
His record while President toward Israel was impeccable.

Amen.
Trump has orthodox Jewish grandkids, who visit his house on a regular basis.

This is not active until states with more than 270 electoral votes approve. Currently at 209.
Yes, I had been thinking that it would be great to see states like Illinois and California, and my blue state Colordo , give up their EVs to DJT, LOL. I wonder now if those states will rethink their stupid move.
That is also UNConstitutional.
Embarrassed I was not aware of this. I concur with your joke assessment.

TOTALLY

Tldr
Edit: I am a shockingly stupid clown
🚫🤡
Me too
And don't forget Creepy Weird Deplorable Unhinged and what was the rest?
If Trump is a felon for paying some bimbo to go away, then Bill and Hillary Clinton and all members of their “bimbo eruptions” team should be buried under the supermax.
I predict much happier than you are now.
"shockingly stupid" because....?
They are all show, no go. It’s a waste of time to engage.
People will be parsing the demographics for weeks and months to come. More power to them.
Trump's victory may come down to a few simple factors, though. People are tired of working hard to pay other's debts, which never get paid in full. People are tired of being lied to and told what to do, a double insult if ever one there were.
Nah
It's more basic in my opinion
Contempt sucks as a strategy
Hope is not a strategy, and neither is contempt.
79% of Jews voted for Kamala. Jews that understand their history. End of story.
Great analysis!
Hallelujah! Praise the Lord!
Watch this video for maximum joy, love and gratitude!
God Bless America, and PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP!!
