IT TAKES A LOT TO GET JEWS TO SHUN DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES, so says writer for the New York Post, Adam Brodsky.
It does take a lot, for traditionally, most Jews vote democratic, so say the polls. But that is changing, changing more so every day and finally for the right reasons. Far too many democrats, and democratic candidates for office are anti-Israel and consequently, more or less, antisemitic. No matter what they say, their actions speak louder than words.
So many today are pro-Palestinian, and consequently, anti-Israel, and as a result of that, anti-Jewish, antisemitic. The protestors demand that the United States not support Israel, not provide it with foreign aid, weapons, or justification, or defense of any kind. These protestors have no problem with present day Israel becoming the homeland of the Palestinians, even if Israelis are located or even extinguished. Jihadist radicals have no problem with that, and in fact, that may be their goal, for the motto is:
EVERY JEW IN ISRAEL BURRIED AT THE BOTTOM OF THE MEDITERRANEAN!
Israel has a population of approximately 7,250,000 people, which is less than the population of New York City, and a good many of them are not Jewish, but Arab or otherwise. The land of Israel is 8,000 sq. miles. It is 263 miles from north to south, and 71 miles at the very widest part, and only 6.2 miles at the most narrow. Israel, all of it, is approximately the size of the state of New Jersey. By contrast, surrounding nations, mostly Arab and Muslim, are huge in size geographically and in terms of population, and include Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt, and not far away Iran, Iraq, and Saudi Arabia among others. Strange it is that none of these countries want to welcome the so-called Palestinians and allow them access and living in their very own countries. The Arab hatred for Israel and the Jews is far more important than the wellbeing of the Palestinians, so it seems.
Long ago, well before the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ, himself of course a Jew, the God of scripture, THE GREAT GOD JEHOVAH, gave this land, this promised land to his chosen people and if you believe the Bible account of that land gift, said to Abraham, the father of the Jews:
“I GIVE YOU THIS LAND FROM THE GREAT RIVER NILE OF EGYPT TO THE GREAT RIVER OF BABYLON, THE EUPHRATES.”
Interestingly, Israel now occupies but a small part of that God-given gift. But the divine promise continues to exist and one day, in the providence of God, that land inheritance, all of it, will be fulfilled. If you believe the Bible and the promises made in the book of Genesis, Israel, THE PROMISED LAND, belongs to the Jews, to the descendants of Abraham, all of it.
The world ignores October 7, 2023. That was the most horrible day for Jews and antisemitism since the holocaust. Hundreds of innocent Israelis, including women and children, were slaughtered by Hamas, jihadist radicals. It is only natural that for the first time in the lives of so many Jews, they feel nervous about America as a refuge. That fear is fueled by district attorneys, like Alvin Bragg in New York City, who do nothing, do not prosecute those who assault and physically attack Jews, political candidates almost all of whom are Democrats who rail against the Jews, and Israel, champion the protestors, and the insidious movement DEI (Divestiture, Equity and Inclusion) which, at its extreme, encourages antisemitism and hatred of the Jews characterizing them and all Israelis as oppressors and colonizers. It seems as though the radical jihadists, not only Muslims but so many other ignorant individuals, entities, institutions (colleges and others) to foster this hatred of Israel and the Jews. President Biden did nothing, other than a complete about face. When Israel was attacked by Hamas October 7, 2023, Biden aggressively told the world that he and our country would protect and defend Israel and the Jews. Just before his withdrawal as Democratic Presidential Candidate for 2024, Biden showed clearly that he had reversed that position completely, supplying additional arms and aid would be suspended or reduced and he will leave office with his famous quote:
“THE PROTESTORS HAVE A POINT.”
The holy day of the week for Muslims is Friday, and for the Jews Saturday, and for the Christians Sunday. Radical jihadists say the following:
FIRST THE SATURDAY PEOPLE (THE JEWS), AND THEN THE SUNDAY PEOPLE (CHRISTIANS)!
Our world, which now comprises more than 8 billion people, is comprised itself of 1.7 billion Muslims, and adherence to that religion seem to grow daily.
Israel has always had a very special relationship with the United States. There are now some 2,500 US companies which do business with Israel in one form or another and employ some 72,000 Israelis according to the US Chamber of Commerce. This small nation of 7,250,000 people has the highest concentration of engineers, scientists, and technicians per capita and produces more scientific papers per capita than any other nation in the world. The economic and commercial relationship between these two countries includes IT, biotech, life sciences, healthcare solutions, energy, pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, defense industries, cyber security, and aviation just to name some. Even our own armed forces benefit greatly from Israel’s innovative
economy with many critical military components invented by this industrious little nation. Again, Sunday Christians, never forget that Jesus of Nazareth was Jewish!
Robert Knight, writer for the Washington Times, said the following:
“THE RADICAL AMERCIAN LEFT HAS MADE COMMON CAUSE WITH THE ANTISEMITIC, PRO-HAMAS MOVEMENT.”
Israel is the only functioning democratic republic in the Middle East, not without problems and difficulties to be sure, but the very best governmental structure in the entire Middle East and far better, more tolerant, and democratic than any other nation in that entire part of the world. Scripture requires that all who believe, all Christians, and all Jews, that the Great God Jehovah, will, as HE so plainly said, will bless those nations and individuals who bless Israel and the Jews, and conversely, curse those who persecute Israel and the Jews. Jerusalem is His holy sitting place. Israel, the land he gave to Abraham, and consequently, the rightful legal and religious heritage and inheritance of the Jewish people. That truism means that a whole lot of radical university professors, politicians, and protestors, and now an ever-growing number of businessmen and wealthy individuals will fall under the curse of Almighty God, a promise which should make them tremble in their boots.
We are urged to pray for the peace of Jerusalem, peace for Israel, America, and the whole world. The great I AM intended Abraham and the Jews to be a blessing to all humankind and all nations, and our Lord and His special emissary, the Apostle Paul, hoped and prayed for grace, peace, and mercy for all humankind, and these promises, these hopes are the only thing which can end war, hatred, killings, and bring a love and understanding to all humankind. May each of us, Jew, Gentile, and all humankind do everything possible to love the Lord our God with all our hearts, and our neighbors as ourselves, and hope and pray for the day when this DIVINE PEACE, the peace of Jerusalem and the world becomes a reality. The way this world is, and the ever growing anti-Judeo-Christian forces at work, we may have to wait until the second coming of our beloved Messiah, who perhaps, all alone, can be the only one to bring the promised:
PEACE OF JERUSALEM
to all of us, to all humankind.

The Crawford Stand with the President of Crawford Media Group, Don Crawford. "It takes a lot to get Jews to shun Democratic candidates, so says writer of the New York Post, Adam Brodsky. It takes an awful lot. And it does for traditionally most Jews vote Democratic, so say the polls. But that is changing, changing more so every day, and finally, for the right reasons. Too many Democrats and Democratic candidates for office are anti-Israel and consequently more or less, and I think more, anti-Semitic. No matter what they say, their actions speak louder than words, and far too many of those Democrats are anti-Semitic. Do you agree? So many today are pro-Palestinian and consequently anti-Israel, and as a result of that, anti-Jewish, anti-Semitic. And that's another reason why. The protesters demand that the United States not support Israel, not provide it with foreign aid, or weapons, or justification, or defense of any kind. These protesters have no problem with present-day Israel becoming the home of the Palestinians. Even if Israelis are relocated, or even extinguished, jihadist radicals have no problem with that. And in fact, that may be their goal. For the motto, "Every Jew in Israel buried at the bottom of the Mediterranean," let me repeat that again, "every Jew in Israel buried at the bottom of the Mediterranean," that's the slogan. One of these days they're going to go for it with all their might. Israel has a population of approximately 7,250,000 people, which is less than the population of New York City, and the good many of them are not Jewish, but Arab, or otherwise. The land of Israel is 8,000 square miles. It is 263 miles from north to south, and 71 miles at the very widest part, and only 6.2 miles at the most narrow. Israel, all of it, is approximately the size of the State of New Jersey. By contrast, surrounding nations, mostly Arab and Muslim, are gigantic in size, geographically, and in terms of population, and they include Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt, and not far away Iran, Iraq, and Saudi Arabia, among others. Strange it is that none of these countries want to welcome the so-called Palestinians. You are aware of that, are you not? They don't want them, and allow them access and living in their very own countries. The Arab hatred for Israel and the Jews is far more important than the well-being of the Palestinians, so it seems. Long ago, well before the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ, himself, of course, a Jew, the God of Scripture, the great God Jehovah, gave this land, the land of Israel, this promised land, to his chosen people. And if you believe the Bible account of that land gift, given to Abraham, the father of the Jews, said the Lord God, I give you this land from the great river Nile of Egypt to the great river of Babylon, the Euphrates, and they repeat that. I give you, said the Lord God Almighty, I give you this land from the great river Nile of Egypt to the great river of Babylon, the Euphrates. Israel is nowhere near that size today, but someday, according to the Bible, it will be. Israel now occupies but a small part of that God-given gift, and that divine promise that is not going to go away, and in the providence of God, that is the timing of God, when God wills it, that inheritance so promised will be fulfilled. Now, I hope you believe the Bible and the promise made in this book of Genesis. The promised land belongs to the Jews, to the descendants of Abraham, all of it, and all of it to come. The world ignores October 7, 2023. That was the most horrible day for Jews and anti-Semitism since the Holocaust. Hundreds of innocent Israelis, including women and children, were slaughtered by Hamas. Radical jihadists. And it is only natural for the first time in the lives of so many Jews that they feel nervous about America as a refuge, and that fear is fueled by district attorneys like Alvin Bragg in New York City, really an anti-Semitic man. And they do nothing to persecute those who assault and physically attack Jews. And in fact, so many of them champion the protesters and let them go on and do nothing, and the insidious movement, DEI, divestiture, equity, and inclusion, which at its extreme encourages anti-Semitism and hatred of the Jews, characterizing them and all Israelis as oppressors and colonizers, unbelievable. It seems as though the radical jihadists not only Muslims but so many other ignorant individuals and entities and institutions and colleges and college professors foster this hatred of Israel and the Jews. Why? Why? Why? President Biden did nothing and still does nothing, other than a complete about face at which Biden seems to be a master. When Israel was attacked by Hamas, October 7, 2023, Biden aggressively told the world that he and our country would protect and defend Israel and the Jews. And just before his withdrawal as Democratic presidential candidate for 2024, Biden showed clearly that he had reversed that position completely. Supplying additional arms and aid would be suspended or reduced, he said, and Biden will leave office with his famous quote, "The protesters have a point." Biden, the protesters have a point. Like what, Joe, what? The holy day of the week for Muslims is Friday, and for the Jews, Saturday, and for the Christians Sunday. Radical jihadists say the following, "First, the Saturday people," and that would be the Jews, that is, "We're going to get them, we're going to wipe them out." And then the Sunday people, the Christians, "Hey, that would be us," and all of us in America, so say the radical jihadists. Our world, which now comprises more than 8 billion people, is comprised itself of 1.7 billion Muslims. And adherence to that religion seems only to grow daily. Boy, with the extremists who populate that religion in so many ways, I wonder why. Israel has always had a very special relationship with the United States. There are now some 2,500 U.S. companies, which do business with Israel, in one form or another. And they employ some 72,000 Israelis, according to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. This small nation of 7,250,000 people has the highest concentration of engineers, scientists, and technicians per capita, and produces more scientific papers per capita than any other nation in the world. The economic and commercial relationship between these two countries includes IT, biotech, life sciences, healthcare solutions, energy, pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, defense industries, cybersecurity, and aviation, just to name some, even our very own armed forces. American armed forces benefit greatly from Israel's innovative economy, with many critical military components invented by this industrious little nation as part of our great military. From Israel, again, Sunday Christians, never forget, never ever forget that Jesus of Nazareth was a Jew. Robert Knight, writer for the Washington Times, said the following, "The radical American left has made common cause with the anti-Semitic pro-Hamas movement." Boy, has it ever. Israel is the only functioning democratic republic in the Middle East. Not without its problems or its difficulties, to be sure, but the very best governmental structure in the entire Middle East and far better, far better, and more tolerant and democratic than any other nation in that entire part of the world. Scripture requires that all who believe, all Christians and all Jews, that the great God Jehovah will, as he so plainly said, will bless those nations and individuals who bless Israel and the Jews, and conversely, curse those who persecute Israel and the Jews. And Jerusalem is his holy sitting place, so says the Scripture. I hope you believe that. Boy, I sure do. Israel, the land he gave to Abraham and consequently the rightful legal and religious heritage and inheritance of the Jewish people. That's theirs. It was then it is now. That truism means that a whole lot of radical university professors and politicians and protesters and now an ever-growing number of businessmen and wealthy individuals will fall under the curse of Almighty God, a promise which should make them tremble in their boots. Boy, I sure wouldn't want that to happen to me. We are urged, my fellow Christians, to pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Peace for Israel, peace for America, and peace for the whole world. So much of Paul's early greetings in his epistles talk about peace and grace. Amen to that. The great I am intended Abraham and the Jews to be a blessing to all humankind and all nations and our Lord and His special emissary, the Apostle Paul, hope and prayed for grace, peace and mercy. And these promises, these hopes are the only thing which can end war and hatred and killings and bring a love and understanding to all humankind. May each of us, may all of us, Jew, Gentile, and all humankind, do everything possible to love the Lord our God with all our hearts and our neighbors as ourselves. And we should hope and pray for the day when this divine peace, the peace of Jerusalem and this world becomes a reality, but the way this world is and the ever-growing anti-Judeo-Christian forces at work, we may have to wait until the second coming of our beloved Messiah, who perhaps all alone, the Lord Jesus Christ, can be the only one to bring that promise, the peace of Jerusalem and for all of us and for all humankind. Continue to pray, my fellow Christians, and hope for the Lord God will in fact fulfill His promise. So what do you think about growing anti-Semitism in the world? Have you yourself seen it?
