The Uncomfortable Truth About Hollywood and Democratic Politics
Hollywood has long been a stronghold of liberal ideology, often backing Democratic candidates and causes with both financial support and public endorsements. However, the recent VP selection process has left a sour taste in the mouths of many Jewish-Americans in the entertainment industry. Steven Zeitchik, a senior awards editor at the Hollywood Reporter, openly expressed his concerns that anti-Semitism influenced Harris’s decision not to choose Shapiro, a man who has been a vocal supporter of Israel and Jewish causes.
Reactions from the Media and Public Figures
The whispers and worries aren’t confined to the corridors of Hollywood studios; they’ve made their way into mainstream media discussions as well. Prominent media personalities like CNN’s Van Jones and NBC’s Chuck Todd have raised the alarm, questioning whether the rejection of Shapiro points to a deeper, darker vein of anti-Jewish bigotry within the Democratic Party. Their concerns highlight a growing discomfort among liberal Jewish communities, who find themselves grappling with the realization that their political home may not be as welcoming as they once believed.
The Ignored Voices
Governor Shapiro’s background as a “traditionally observant Jew” who attended a private Jewish day school and openly embraces his faith should be celebrated, not used as fodder for political exclusion. Yet, the gleeful response from certain segments of Harris’s base at Shapiro’s exclusion is telling. It sends a clear message: being vocally Jewish and pro-Israel might now be liabilities within the Democratic Party.
The Harsh Reality for Jewish Democrats
Many Jewish Democrats are feeling increasingly alienated, caught between their loyalty to liberal policies and their growing unease at their place within the party. Zeitchik’s account reveals not just his personal disillusionment but echoes a broader sentiment among Jewish liberals who fear they are being edged out of the party because of their identity and beliefs.
Final Thoughts
The implications of Harris’s decision go far beyond mere electoral calculations; they suggest a troubling willingness within the Democratic Party to pander to the most extreme elements of their base, even if it means sidelining qualified candidates on the basis of religion. This incident forces us to question the integrity of the Democratic commitment to diversity and inclusion.
As we continue to watch this story unfold, one must ask: if the Democratic Party is willing to alienate and exclude Jewish members over political expediency, who could be next? Share your thoughts and reactions in the comments section below. Do you think the Democratic Party has a problem with anti-Semitism, or is this just an isolated incident? Let’s discuss.
All these people promised they would leave if Trump became president 8 years ago. That makes them lying racist Communists.
The Democrat Party platform calls for a “two-state solution” to the Palestinian-israeli problem.
If “Palestine,” for the first time in history, becomes a nation, it will have the right to arm itself with whatever weapons it wants, and will be able to invite Russia, China, North Korea, and anybody else it wants to build air bases and so-forth on its sovereign territory. It will also be able to make mutual defense treaties with other nations. Sounds like a pathway to peace, don’t it?
The nation of Palestine will last about a week before israel necessarily has to invade it, for Israel’s own survival.
Jewish Democrats have probably not thought this through.
Still the chump is shitting his pants.
Still the chump is quaking in its boots.
If hamas gave up their weapons there would be peace.If Israel gave up its arms that would be their demise. There will never be peace with Muslims hate for Israel!!
Quite frankly I don’t think they would get so far as to arm themselves with weapons. Hamas is fighting their battles. UNRWA is educating their children. Food banks from all over the world are providing them with food, clothing and medicine.
These people are not a self sustaining community. Others fight their battles, fed and clothed by someone else, education provided for them.
These people are incapable of providing for their own sustenance.
Why should the Israelites be burdened with them.
Egypt doesn’t want them.
Jordan doesn’t want them
And what about Lebanon.
Where ever they have gone there’s been problems, they caused.
Israelites are a western onward looking people. Please tell me why Israelites should be lumped with them.
When Shapiro decided to serve in the Israeli military instead of the US one, he showed us where his loyalties lie. He simply is unfit to serve as Commander in Chief.
To Shapiro, the Hollywood Jews, and the rest, screw you when it comes to kissing Ass to Biden, Harris, Obama who you know, hate you by now.
Do you actually believe the left hates Israel or “jews”? Most of the political left is made up of “jews”. This is nothing more than a con. Sadly, too many conservatives, especially “Christians” have been duped into supporting the fake nation of Israel. The “jews” are not and NEVER were God’s people, in fact, Christ referred to them as the synagogue of satan. The word “jew” didn’t even exist until the 17th century, when catholic revisions used it to replace edomites and Judahites.
