It’s time to leave the Democrat Party. For decades, Jews have aligned themselves with the Democrat Party because we believed that our values of social justice, racial equality, and caring for the oppressed and the poor were in line with the Democrat’s policies. We felt more protected from antisemitism. We believed that the Democratic Party supported Israel more than the Republicans.

But no longer. Since the Obama administration, the Democrats have shifted way too far to the left. The progressive, liberal Democrats’ policies have been influenced by Senator Bernie Sanders and Squad members Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib. According to the progressives, Israel and the United States are colonialists, imperialists and racists. Israel is an apartheid state. Blacks and Palestinians are victims of the oppressors. The United States must undergo a “fundamental transformation,” as Obama said.

Nearly every policy decision that the federal government led by President Biden has made has been wrong—the closing of the Canadian-U.S. Keystone pipeline, which would have allowed us to be energy independent; the agreement with Germany to allow completion of the Russian-German pipeline, which will give Russia billions of dollars and most likely the opportunity to build up their military and aggression; not being strong towards China regarding the Wuhan laboratory’s coronavirus origin or their cyber theft of our corporate and military secrets; weakness towards cyber attacks from Russia; weakening our restrictions against an Iranian nuclear buildup; late-term abortions; an open, unregulated, unsupervised border, allowing two million illegal aliens into the USA—not out of compassion for those seeking shelter from crime and poverty, but to increase the ranks of Democratic voters; slackening of election controls that would ensure voter integrity; and lastly, hundreds of billions of dollars for green energy. The Democrats are bankrupting our children and grandchildren.

Liberal Democratic governors, mayors and attorneys generals have allowed for more crime because of bail “reform” and defunding and handcuffing our police. Liberal school boards across the country create disunity and racial tension among our youth, teaching critical race theory and the idea that white supremacy is to blame for the majority of society’s ills, along with teaching sexual and gender confusion and freedom.

Yes, it’s time to leave the Democratic Party. In every local, state and federal election, vote Republican.
