More than once, I have written about the mystery of Jews who seem to support their own demise by voting with, and standing by, those who hate them. Some Jews voted into office Ilhan Omar in my home state of Minnesota. Others voted for Mayor Zohran Mamdani in New York. No Jew is now safe there.
Many Jews voted for two anti-Semites – Jimmy Carter and Barack Obama. No two U.S. Presidents did more damage to Israel than these men – yet they got the Jewish vote by and large. Obama, a man with obvious Islamic leanings, got almost 80% of the Jewish vote.
Just 13% of Democrats even have a positive view of Israel! Most on the left seem to favor every Islamic terrorist they have ever met.
I have watched my own Jewish family members who are unbelievers vote Democrat repeatedly and have no explanation for it. They are mind-numbed from watching CNN.
Why would Minnesota Jews vote for Keith Ellison as Attorney General when his goal is Sharia Law?
Roosevelt—the Holocaust Enabling President
In the 1940s, the Jews overwhelmingly supported a President who was their enemy—Franklin Roosevelt. Over 90% of Jews voted for him in 1944. He looked the other way to the evils of the Holocaust.
Over 70% of American Jews voted for Hilary Clinton rather than Israel’s greatest Presidential friend, Donald Trump. In 2024, Donald Trump had proved himself an ally of Israel, yet 71% of Jews voted for Kamala Harris.
Has Rising Anti-Semitism Moved Jews to the Right?
Shockingly, even after October 7 and the rise in anti-Semitism, not that many moved to the center or the right politically. In spite of the fact that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said repeatedly that Donald Trump is the greatest friend Israel has ever had, most Jews would not vote for him.
Where is the disconnect?
Here are a few thoughts:
1) Jews are all about social justice. Just as Evangelicals are taught to embrace candidates with more biblical principles and worldviews, Jews are taught to value the underdog in life—the persecuted, the minority, the downtrodden, the helpless. They have been falsely convinced that only the Democrat Party can do that effectively. Many Jews view the Jewish principle of Tikkun Olam (“repairing the world”) as aligning naturally with Democratic social justice goals
2) Many Jews just lack a loyalty to Judaism and Israel. They actually have MORE loyalty to liberalism than to the Jewish State or their heritage. To some of them, Israel is a pesky inconvenience to be criticized.
3) The Jews remain in spiritual blindness. Does this blindness bleed over into other areas, such as politics? Perhaps. They cannot even see the Messiah in Isaiah 53. But Paul wouldn’t give up on the Jews and neither should we!
4) Today, many Jews are secular and not religious. Secularists have no loyalty to traditional marriage, pro-life causes, religious freedom, etc. The result is their affinity for the Democrat Party and liberal values. They simply do not have a biblical worldview. Those who do, vote Republican.
5) There is the perceived mistreatment by the Jews of the Palestinians, which drives some Jews away from conservatism and any identity with the “religious right.” Perceived mistreatment does not fit in with their social justice mindset.
6) Leftist politics seem to be in their DNA. Most often, their grandparents fled from socialist nations. Strangely, they are most comfortable with socialist principles—even though socialism is a proven failure.
It Is Not Just the Jews Who Are Blind
Much of the world cannot see truth. Even Christians are blind to the signs of the times breaking all around us! Most Christians are focused on earthly interests, lacking the eternal view.
Many unbelievers are blind to the truths of the gospel.
Those who see the truth and love the truth are few in number, be they Jew or Gentile! I call the real truth seekers today “remnant believers.”
Paving the Way for the Great Deceiver
But it is the Jews during the Tribulation who will be blindsided by a corrupt politician—the Antichrist. Their current blindness is setting the stage and preparing them to see “Mr. Fix-It” as the solution to the world’s problems. He will surely be a leftist, and his charisma will sway the world—starting with the Jewish people.
His middle name will be “social justice,” but it will be short-lived as he is the ultimate deceiver.
The last 100 years of falling for leftists has prepared the Jewish people for this great deception.
