WATCH: Token Jew for Harris TRIES BUT FAILS to make any sense
Avi Yemini confronts a Jewish Kamala Harris supporter who believes she's the best choice for Israel, despite the reality of her party’s stance.
In Washington, outside a rally supporting Kamala Harris, I spoke with Americans from all backgrounds to gauge the public's sentiment about the upcoming 2024 U.S. presidential election.
Standing amongst Kamala Harris supporters, I encountered one voter — a Jewish man — whose views on the Democratic candidate for the election seemed to challenge Israel’s best interests, despite his firm stance. Our discussion quickly highlighted a divide on policy and ideology that resonated beyond just this one election.
I opened our conversation by pointing to a significant shift I’ve observed: many Jewish voters are moving away from the Democratic camp, increasingly leaning towards Donald Trump due to his stance on Israel.
This shift isn’t arbitrary. Just recently, during a Democrat event, Jewish attendees were forced to hide, fearing for their safety as anti-Israel protestors surrounded them. The uncomfortable reality is that this “democratic government,” as I put it to him, has seemed less secure for Jewish voters lately.
When I asked whether he could acknowledge that Trump’s policies might, at least, be better for Israel’s security, he hesitated. His answer was a clear, “I cannot say that.”
Despite his insistence on supporting Kamala, I pushed further, questioning how Trump’s four years in office, which notably saw unprecedented peace deals in the Middle East, had somehow failed Israel. “Whether you agree with him or not,” I said, “Trump’s policy delivered results.”
But he was unmoved. To him, Trump’s foreign policy was purely transactional. “Israel and Israelis must do for themselves something that Trump cannot do,” he claimed. Yet, when I pressed him to give specific examples of where Trump’s approach had failed, he struggled to name one. He instead pointed to the notion that Trump’s nature was inherently divisive.
I countered, suggesting that Kamala Harris and her party were hardly exempt from divisive rhetoric, especially given how Democrats have compared Trump to Hitler.
In response, he turned to a topic I didn’t expect: book banning. He bizarrely linked Trump to book-banning policies, although the details seemed murky at best. I questioned, “Which books is Trump banning?” His response remained vague, circling around claims of bans affecting LGBTQ and other communities.
The irony here, of course, was that much of the rhetoric about book bans has been a more complex issue involving various state legislatures — not the direct doing of Trump or even his administration.
Ultimately, his defence of Kamala Harris felt like it was built more on ideological loyalty than concrete policy, especially when it came to Israel.

Bruce Atchison commented 2024-11-07 16:56:44 -0500You nailed it, Robin. Leftism is cruel and it hates all opposition. Just look at any leftist protest verses conservative counter protests. It’s the foul and hateful left who litter and threaten their opponents. Communism never works, period. It’s based on sins like coveting and envying. It never encourages people to be better and to be creative. Lock-step control is all communism demands.

Yes, plus it murders competition and those who get screwed by central planning failures. But they always think they can do it better than their murdered predecessors. I’ve pointed out to some of them that if Trump or I were really dictators or NAZIs, they wouldn’t be on social media -they would be dead or in huge, beautiful prisons with all the accoutrements like racks, whips, nail pullers, etc. (lol). They have no comeback except to say they will do it better than Stalin or Mao.
Maybe we will get rid of DEI, but the left always has something else in reserve ready to go on demand. Climate change, pandemics, cow farts to kill the food supply, CBDCs, and many others. We must never take anything for granted again, because as we discussed before the left never stops, never really gives up, and is always bent on fomenting chaos, hate, discontent, death. and destruction. There is no room for compromise because those who want to control everyone else will never accept only some control, and those of us who do not want to be controlled should never accept partial control except under our own terms that protect our rights, lives and property. -
Robin Naismith commented 2024-11-07 14:13:30 -0500Yup,exactly Bruce.

Bruce Atchison commented 2024-11-07 14:03:28 -0500The good news is that people are realizing what a load of baloney all that DEI nonsense is. I’m sure the die hard lunatics will throw their infantile tantrums and that will further alienate the public. It’s a proven fact that capitalism benefits all people. Socialism benefits only the elitists at the top of the pyramid.

Robin Naismith commented 2024-11-06 21:21:22 -0500That is possible Howard and if they really wanna go down that route,then they better be ready for those of us who will fight back even stronger

Howard Mirkin commented 2024-11-06 21:19:42 -0500I think, though, that they would rather be killing humans.

Robin Naismith commented 2024-11-06 21:05:57 -0500Oh,before I forget. I did hear all about the situation that happened to that couple who had Peanut the Squirrel & Fred the Raccoon and to me, what the NYC-DEC did to this couple was Absolutely wrong, especially with hearing that they murdered Peanut & Fred. I honestly couldn’t believe what the DEC did and to me,these Cold-hearted Scumbags deserve to DIE themselves

Robin Naismith commented 2024-11-06 21:01:22 -0500Yep,I don’t doubt that at all Howard. the videos are starting to come out showing how all the leftists are balling their eyes out because there DEI candidate failed to get voted in i.e. Kamala Harris and all I can say towards them is Boooo Fricken Hoooooo, it must Suck big time for you leftist libtards

Howard Mirkin commented 2024-11-06 20:45:59 -0500Like all obedient leftists they are making up excuses and blaming every thing in sight. The initial target is white women. Seems like black leftist women living in America really treasure murdering defenseless babies. Some people may have changed from left to right after the New York state or city government murdered a poor little, very talented squirrel named Peanut or P-Nut and its friend a racoon named Fred. It took 5-10 agents to raid the house and detain the two little pets before they were unceremoniously euthanized (I don’t know if the fascists thought they were in Trudeauland, though).The NAZIs made up a few stories to explain why they did it, but I think most people believe they were jealous because the two little animals had something missing from the NAZIs – talent, as well as well over half a million followers on Instagram.

Howard Mirkin commented 2024-11-03 11:31:30 -0500Any Chinese who was born under the rule of the CCP or, for that matter, anyone who was born under a communist control and escaped will warn the west, and if they do not they should be suspect. Some others have made short videos or told their story at PragerU. This guy explains ESG scoring https://www.prageru.com/video/chinas-social-credit-system and warns about becoming communist. Yoenmi Park warns about becoming like North Korea https://www.prageru.com/search?query=korea&page=1&configure%5BhitsPerPage%5D=20 , but Americans do not see reality unless they visit a relatively small number of sites or do specific searches, but too many of them are glued to smartphones are re easily manipulated. Not sure about the Canadians, but I suspect something similar otherwise an anti-humanist, anti-freedom, globalist petty tyrant like Trudeau could not get elected, much less re-elected.

Bruce Atchison commented 2024-11-03 10:29:42 -0500Not only Xi Van Fleet but Lilly Tang Williams has been sounding the alarm about communism in the west. What a corrosive political system!

Howard Mirkin commented 2024-11-03 05:58:37 -0500Bruce, Too bad a lot more Americans and other people have not been listening to the warnings of Xi Van Fleet and others like her. Too many of us assumed that what is happening now could never happen, despite the signs all over the place.
-
Bruce Atchison commented 2024-11-02 23:42:22 -0400It’s always the way, In the past, Howard, leftist useful idiots became expendable once they weren’t useful anymore. Xi Van Fleet nailed it when she told about the purges in China. The Soviet Union had the same. And if Americans get cheated out of the upcoming election and the Devilcrats win, the slide toward communist tyranny will increase exponentially.

Howard Mirkin commented 2024-11-02 14:54:41 -0400Wait until these ignorant, indoctrinated leftist useful idiots find out that they are designated for depopulation by the WEF/UN just like the remaining 8 billion humans. If she is elected the odds of a faster depopulation will increase dramatically and expeditiously. But Harris and the elites will ensure their own survival. https://slaynews.com/news/wef-depopulation-save-elites-drown-rest/

Bruce Atchison commented 2024-11-01 17:09:20 -0400The depths of human stupidity seems infinite. It’s like chickens for KFC.
I also wish Trump would ban my three books. People would buy them just to find out what they said.
