Of course many Jews trusted Bernie. As one with many Jewish friends (and ancestors buried in Jewish cemeteries), I’ve been perplexed at how Jews continually exhibit Stockholm Syndrome on such a grand scale. Too many disregarded warning signs in Germany, and worse yet, many continually empower dictators and Jew-haters like today’s Democratic party. They subscribe to the myth that by supporting their enemy, the enemy won’t hate them… as much.
My Jewish friends need to revisit their political philosophy, especially Kant, Nozick and related authors who refuse to treat human beings as a utilitarian means to an end. That Obama or any other Democrat can support redistribution is a blatant confession that they will commit endless other ethical abuses and crimes as they seek their impossible ends at the expense of human lives. Lacking an ethical framework to prohibit such utilitarian abuse of people, and seeking an impossible goal, they will erode human rights to the greatest extremes as have every previous totalitarian regime. Jews, unfortunately, are on the short list of scapegoats and end up suffering the most.
The solution? Don’t embrace those that would turn your children into living room upholstery and melt your teeth for their gold. Obama’s a pleasant fellow today, but like all populists, has nothing to act as a governor to restrict his absolute behavior when his impossible quest of redistributionist utopia fails.
