Anti-Semitism Doesn't Discriminate

A recent poll shows that 42% of American Jews believe that Trump is too pro-Israel. Article can be found here

"A significant percentage of American Jews have no religion worth mentioning, no identification with the Jewish people, and would give their very last penny to fight for abortion rights, but would write off Israel in a heartbeat." 🤦🏻‍♀️

Well, here is something for these Jews to chew on. 


Many Jews don’t want to accept this but anti-Semites don’t normally differentiate between Jews who are and aren’t proud of being Jewish or Jews who do or don’t support Israel. 

When Israel was established, over 850,000 Jews were expelled from Arab countries.
During the Holocaust, Jews were targeted even if they intermarried or didn’t identify as Jews. 


You can’t run away from the reality of being Jewish. Things might be good for us here in the USA, but there is no guarantee that this (relative) peace will last. History repeats itself. 

It’s not a matter of being afraid... it’s about being realistic and having a backup plan. Many Jews had to revert to their backup plan this year and over the past several years.

If anything were to happen here in the USA or to our fellow Jews anywhere else in the world (thousands of Jews have fled Europe over the past several months), what would your backup plan be?
