JEWS AND ISRAEL

SUPPORTERS HAVE A NATURAL HOME IN THE GOP AND A TRUE FRIEND IN TRUMP

By Jeremy Frankel 

The first few weeks of the Trump administration demonstrated that the Jewish people have a true friend in the White House. However, if that theme hadn’t been obvious beforehand, even the first hours of the administration made it profoundly clear. One scene in particular spoke volumes throughout the inauguration of Donald Trump as the 47th President of the United States. It was not the pre-inauguration rally, the swearing-in ceremony, the inaugural parade, or the inaugural ball. Instead, it was a scene that should convince all Jewish Americans, or anyone who cares about Israel, to abandon the Democrat Party forever.

Trump, the people’s president, decided that the freed Israeli hostages and their families would be standing directly behind him as he stood at Capital One Arena during his inaugural parade. As the most powerful person on the planet, with everyone clamoring for his attention, Trump could have chosen anyone to stand in those coveted spots, with millions of people watching. But the people’s president made the right and moral choice to make a statement that, once again, the United States will side with good over evil, morality over barbarity, and Western Civilization over radical Islamic terror.  And that theme has continued throughout the first few weeks of the new administration. On the first day of the new administration, the sanctions on Jews in Judea and Samaria, now known as the “West Bank,” put in place by the Biden regime, were revoked by Trump. The original executive order, Executive Order 14115, issued on February 1, 2024, had placed sanctions on certain Israeli groups “on Persons Undermining Peace, Security, and Stability in the West Bank.” Sadly, but unsurprisingly, a mere four months after the October 7th terrorist massacres and kidnappings, the problem was, to the left and the Democrat Party, the Jews.

Trump has, since then, revoked Biden’s revocations of Trump’s prior sanctions against officials of the International Criminal Court (ICC), placed new sanctions on the ICC, withdrew the U.S. from the World Health Organization (WHO), has started to put an end to Marxist, antisemitic DEI practices throughout the government, lifted Biden’s restrictions on weapons shipments to Israel, and signed an executive order to deport pro-Hamas rioters on college campuses. Moreover, Trump has moved to defund the terror-infested United Nations Relief & Works Agency (UNRWA) (whose members were directly implicated in the October 7th attacks), withdrew from the Israel-hating United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC), ordered a review of the Israel-hating, antisemitic United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and other UN and international agencies funded by the U.S., and reinstated maximum sanctions on the Islamist, terrorist-supporting regime in Iran. Most of these actions by Trump are reversing what the previous administration did, with cheers and support from the left and the Democrat Party, such as the Biden regime’s sending of hundreds of millions of dollars to UNRWA, rejoining the Human Rights Council, and funding of Iran. It should also be noted that every Senate Democrat aside from John Fetterman voted against a bill codifying the ICC sanctions into law, including the self-proclaimed “shomer” (Hebrew for “guardian”) of the Jews, Chuck Schumer.

In addition, as opposed to the past Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who, the day after October 7th, posted on X his support for a ceasefire because, again, apparently the real problem was the Jews, current Secretary of State Marco Rubio has reaffirmed the U.S.’s commitment to the Jewish state. Rubio, in his first phone call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, congratulated him on “Israel’s successes against Hamas and Hezbollah and pledged to work tirelessly to help free all remaining hostages held in Gaza.”

The new Justice Department under Attorney General Pam Bondi is no exception to the new rule of America having Israel’s back. For example, earlier this month, pursuant to Trump’s sweeping Executive Order called “[A]additional Measures to Combat Anti-Semitism,” the DOJ formed a multi-agency Task Force to Combat Antisemitism, whose first priority is to “root out anti-Semitic harassment in schools and on college campuses.” According to Harvard student and activist Shabbos Kestenbaum, the Biden DOJ refused Jewish students when they asked that similar measures be taken at the time. In contrast, these groups supporting Hamas have also been funded by radical leftist self-hating Jew George Soros, a major Democrat donor who was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by Biden during his final month in office.

Bondi has also established a joint task force committed to investigating the October 7th perpetrators and seeking justice for the victims, which will, in addition to prosecuting terrorist violence, also prosecute “antisemitic civil rights violations” and “other federal crimes” committed by supporters of Hamas in the U.S., including on college campuses.

It is clear that, much as the love for Israel and the Jewish people permeated the first Trump presidency, such as its withdrawing from the Obama-era nuclear “deal” with Islamist Iran, recognizing Jerusalem as the undivided capital of the Jewish state, the passage of the Taylor Force Act, and the 2019 Executive Order on Combatting Anti-Semitism, President Trump and the Republican Party are committed to continuing the friendship between the two countries that represent Western Civilization to the rest of the world. Netanyahu would likely agree, as he called Trump “the greatest friend that Israel has ever had in the White House” in an interview with Fox News host Mark Levin last week. Trump has, and will continue, to prove himself as such—the best friend Israel has ever had, and the best friend the Jews have ever had. American Jews have seemingly been taking note of this in recent years, as the Republicans have been increasingly earning their vote in presidential elections. Still, we should pray that it becomes a permanent trend in the right direction.

The GOP is the natural home for the Jewish people. The contrast between the last few weeks and the prior four years regarding Israel and the Jews should be a mass catalyst for anyone who supports Israel and the Jewish people to JEXIT-- to leave the Democrat Party and never look back.

This past weekend, I had the privilege of attending my first CPAC. It was just as great as I had expected it to be—wonderful speakers, great events, enlightening forums, and overall a ton of fun.

But the best part of it was the strong sense of happiness at the hotel where CPAC was taking place. Everyone from all walks of life was there for the same reason: to promote conservatism, Americanism, and Western Civilization. As such, many people who did not know each other before instantly became friends, solely because they were allies in the common goal of preserving these values we all know and love. It inevitably led to a great time had by all and seemingly contagious happiness in the air.

Nowhere during CPAC did I notice this more than when I saw a random infiltrator standing near where President Trump gave his speech, wearing a t-shirt laden with expletives that said “f*** Trump and f*** you for voting for him.” You could almost feel the misery in the person’s existence, in stark contrast to the happy warrior in a MAGA hat asking him to get a selfie. CPAC, like any conservative event, really was the happiest place to be.

It is worth exploring why conservatives, as a group, tend to be much happier than leftists, which inevitably leads to happy conservative events, while left-wing events tend to end in riots. Studies suggest as well that leftists tend to be more unhappy and have more psychological issues. There are too many examples to name of this phenomenon, from the everyday Trump Derangement Syndrome, and now Elon Derangement Syndrome, to the common riot whenever someone “misgenders” or says something a leftist disagrees with.  In contrast, when conservatives protested former President Barack Obama during the Tea Party era, they famously cleaned up any garbage in the areas where they rallied. As well, a Trump rally, or any conservative event, is a place where everyone feels warm and like family.

There are many reasons that conservatives are happier than leftists, aside from the fact that leftism is an ungrateful, discriminatory, racist ideology that lauds perpetuating communism, violence, bodily mutilation, and victimhood, while conservatism promotes Americanism, family values, belief in a higher power, and general meaning in life. To quote Dr. Jordan Peterson, life is, by nature, hard and about suffering. We have to do our best in life to, despite our life circumstances, make the most of our time on earth. 

A core principle of conservatism is freedom and liberty, which underscores that, while we don’t choose our life circumstances, we choose our reactions to them and how we shape our lives. A person’s inherent, natural rights from God make him or her the master of his or her own life and give that person inherent worth. In contrast, leftism is an ideology that values victimhood, as we see from the worldview of critical theory, where everything is seen as “oppressor vs. oppressed.” Hence, any problem is not my fault but was put on me by someone else. Trump won because of Russian collusion. America is racist. Corporations are greedy. Tax the rich. DEI and affirmative action are sacred. The list continues in perpetuity.

The leftist believes that he or she needs a savior from these conjured problems hoisted on the world and that the savior is almost always the state. It truly is a miserable mindset to live with.

You can choose to be the decider of your destiny or blame every problem on any fill-in-the-blank-phobia or whatever-ism. You can either have sovereignty over your own life or give it over to someone else while complaining all the way. It’s easy to figure out which of these choices leads to a happier existence.

Throughout all of his roughly two-month-long administration, President Trump has done everything he can to show himself to be the best friend the Jewish people have ever had in the White House.

From day one, we’ve seen a virtual 180 from the previous administration, from the respect given to the Israeli hostages and their families at Trump’s inaugural parade, to the executive order on antisemitism, and the reversal of sanctions on Jews living in Judea and Samaria, seemingly put on them for the crime of being Jews. We have also seen Israel being given the green light to essentially do whatever it needs to utterly defeat its enemies who want nothing more than to have a second Holocaust.

But Trump’s promise to deport pro-Hamas rioters on student visas and/or green cards is a wonderful idea that is thankfully now being carried out, much to the chagrin of the left and the Democratic Party.

Mahmoud Khalil, a pro-Hamas activist involved in the antisemitic student protests at Columbia University and Barnard College, was arrested by ICE approximately two weeks ago with the goal of potential deportation back to his home country of Syria. Khalil, despite being a former Columbia student, still lived in university-owned housing due to a school policy allowing former students to stay in their housing for months after their studies conclude.

One would think any foreigner with the privilege of being allowed to stay in the U.S. for any reason would have to do their best to be on good behavior, much less to not support a terrorist group, and that such a person should be deported immediately. But of course, the Jew-hating and America-hating left, with support from plenty of Democrats, proved once again that there really is no bottom for them.

The obvious cases, such as the notoriously antisemitic “squad,” of course supported Khalil. But the most obvious example that likely surprised a lot of people is from the Senate Judiciary Democrats, who put out a statement on X demanding Khalil be released. One would think a body run by Chuck Schumer, who claims the mantle of “Shomer Yisrael” (Hebrew for “guardian of Israel”), would be prevented from taking a position like that, but, in a choice between morality and immorality, good and evil, or leftism and any other value set, the Democrat Party always has a default choice made. Then again, he has enough time to rail against Prime Minister Netanyahu for defending his country from Hitlerian disciples.

Luckily, the leftist Democrat seeming opposition to fighting antisemitism hasn’t stopped the president from helping to make American college campuses into safe places for Jews again.

The Trump administration has also begun to defund universities for failing to fight antisemitism.

Because of “inaction in the face of persistent harassment of Jewish students,” the administration canceled grants and contracts totaling $400 million to Columbia University earlier this month.

“These cancelations represent the first round of action and additional cancelations are expected to follow,” the Department of Education stated at the time. Millions more in grants have been slashed since then.

Approximately 60 colleges have been warned by the Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights as well that they are under investigation for refusing to counter “antisemitic discrimination and harassment,” and that they could face enforcement actions if they do not step up their efforts to fulfill their obligations under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act to protect their Jewish students.

As well, a special Task Force to Combat Anti-Semitism was established early on in the Trump administration. “Anti-Semitism in any environment is repugnant to this Nation’s ideals. The Department takes seriously our responsibility to eradicate this hatred wherever it is found. The Task Force to Combat Anti-Semitism is the first step in giving life to President Trump’s renewed commitment to ending anti-Semitism in our schools,” said Senior Counsel to the Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Leo Terrell, who is now heading the Task Force.

And the Task Force has worked hard in its mission to root out the noxious, evil ideology from U.S. college campuses. Columbia was a target for funding cuts in response to its failures to fight antisemitism because in school was “in my opinion, the worst of the worst when it comes to allowing this type of conduct to take place and to continue,” Terrell told Fox News Digital. “President Trump has made it a commitment to the Jewish Americans, and to all Americans, we’re going to eliminate antisemitism,” Terrell told Fox News host Mark Levin earlier this month. “It’s rampant, Mark. It is horrendous. Under President Trump’s leadership, and [Attorney General] Pam Bondi’s leadership, we are working on this 24/7. We have marching orders to eradicate this.”

“The Biden/Garland administration did absolutely nothing. They did nothing to address antisemitism, and it’s rampant across the country,” Terrell continued. “So what are we doing? We are working on this, the entire federal government…we are suing every one of these universities guilty of antisemitism under Title VI…we’re going to bankrupt these universities.”

The Task Force also filed an investigation on Title VII, which involves the employer-employee relationship, due to employees in the University of California system being harassed because of antisemitism.

It’s truly a wonderful feeling that we can walk around with our kippot, be visibly Jewish, and support Israel openly, and know that we have a true friend in the White House in President Trump who has our backs. And we should use this realization as a turning point to make sure the Jewish world makes a true JEXIT once and for all from the Democratic Party.
