1. But is there a Jew-ish coalition?

Cue televangelist, John Hagee

[Walleye]

2. "Formally denounced". Well don't go overboard guys. How about demanding his resignation?

[LeftInTX]

3. I wonder if it is a Congressional caucus or a PAC?

[TigressDem]

4. That means NO MO MONEY

IT WILL HURT the most.

5. That's nice but I don't see

how anyone Jewish could be a repub these days given who the freaking leaders are and Wha they Stand FOR!!!

9. My elderly Jewish neighbors are Trump voters.

They said "what choice do we have?" Hillary Clinton was bad for Israel (remember when she mildly criticized West Bank Settlement policy?).

There are plenty of RW Jews in America. There are major Republican donors that are Jewish.

11. I would tell them if their vote is based on policies only for Israel.

Then move there.

[Cha]

18. Wonder how they feel about

their votes now?.. that dt stole Classified Docs and Tried to Overthrow the Gov.. not to mention all his other heinous crimes against Humanity like the COVID denial.

10. You would think. But look at who Israel elects for their leaders.

14. Which has NOTHING to do with AMERCIAN Jews.

MOST American Jews not only vote for democrats, most fall to center-left, if not out-right liberal compared to other ethnic and religious groups.

15. Like every other minority, Jews are not monolith.

Frankly, I am more surprised by any woman who still votes for, endorses or runs as a republican. It goes to show some are willing to not only vote against themselves but also ignore how their side treats them.

[Cha]

16. Yes, I can't fathom that,

either.

17. The one that really upsets me and kinda shakes me to the core...

...are GLBT people who support the republicans! It really confounds me in a way I have difficulty reconciling.

[Cha]

19. I know.. it's unreal.

6. Just Maybe

Just maybe there is some truth here. Many Sephardic Jews who fled Spain and then Portugal moved to the New World and the Mediterranean. Man converted to Christianity to stay in the peninsula but kept their heritage a family secret. But most likely he is lying, since we already caught him in so many whoppers!

7. I think he does have some Jewish background, but he's Catholic

Almost every Latino has those trace amts, but I think he has more recent.

He lied about his religion.

13. It isn't even remotely true to claim "Almost every Latino has those trace amts" of Jewish ancestry.

Also, as for his ancestry being "recent", there has yet to be anything resembling factual evidence.

[LeftInTX]

20. Ancestry shows this

DNA also shows this small amt
Hubby has a few in his background.

They all converted/assimilated to Catholic early on. (1600's) But, there were enough Jews in Mexico, that there was a significant wheat market because corn was not considered kosher at the time.

Almost every Mexican has 2-3% Jewish DNA.

21. Proof?

Links?

12. Most Jews who fled the Holocaust were not Sephardic Jews though.

Santos did deny accusations that he misled voters about his Jewish ancestry and how his grandparents fled Europe to Brazil to escape the Nazis during World War II.

CNN previously reported that multiple genealogists and documents suggested both of Santos’ maternal grandparents were born in Brazil, and did not flee the Holocaust.

“I never claimed to be Jewish,” Santos, who spoke at the Republican Jewish Coalition annual leadership meeting in November, told The Post. “I am Catholic. Because I learned my maternal family had a Jewish background I said I was ‘Jew-ish.’”

8. How about denouncing Republicans who won't do anything about it?
