Of course Marco Rubio is correct. But this is not a reason to vote for a felon who shouldn't have you been on the ballot. And yeah I could go on and list all the things about Trump that are reasons why no one should ever have voted for him. But you know you know what they are. There was no choice to vote for him. Never a reason. Not one single excuse.. And if you think that if Putin or China tell him to turn against Israel he won't you're wrong. He cares about himself and what he wants. He doesn't care about Israel. I don't think he has that mental ability to care about anyone else but what will be best for Trump.

You're completely right, and that's why I refrained from mentioning Trump at all. I was trying to point out that constantly denying the obvious truth of the world is morally wrong and politically foolish. I'm not trying to influence how anyone votes, at this point the only issue I care about is protecting Jewish people, and I know that that is not a priority for either party. I'm just trying to share some political thoughts to help people process the election and understand why the vote may have gone the way it did. And, if the Democrats don't change their rhetoric by 2028, they will lose again.

Personally I'm going to block someone calling me a dumb A for politely but passionately expressing my feelings. So that's done . Personally I couldn't tell if he was left or right. I neither have Trump derangement syndrome. Nor do I support the far left craziness.

What I do support is Israel and the Jewish people always. And I completely understand not wanting America's politics to control you. Though unfortunately America is quite involved in your war efforts and as we've seen it does affect the decisions made by your government. And I believe the Jewish people around the world and in America also matter, not just in Israel of course. Unfortunately and realistically American politics do affect Israel quite a bit. Trump may have a devastating effect on Israel. Though it is very possible he will help you and just be devastating for us in America including the Jewish people here.

How do you so joyously agree with the blatherings of a leftist with Trump derangement syndrome? Reminds me of my favorite Jewish joke; Jewish unity.

Dumbass has the chutzpah to say there's no reason to vote for him and you say I completely agree, how to lose subscribers in 5785 101...

You are, of course, entitled to your opinion, and you are more than welcome to criticize me, my writing, and my ideas as much as you like. However, if you believe that Jewish unity is a joke, this may not be the right publication for you.

You are right -- it is 5785, and I think it's long past the time for Jews to stop letting American politics drive us apart.

The Zionist Voice stands for Truth, Peace, and Jewish Pride. We have subscribers from every part of the political spectrum, and we respect everyone's right to speak their mind, share their thoughts, and be themselves.

If your values do not align with these, by all means, unsubscribe.

But speaking disrespectfully like this in the comments section, about anyone besides me, will not be tolerated.

There are enough people in the world criticizing Jews as it is -- we don't need to help them out.

If you choose to stay with us, we would love to have you, but if anything like this happens again, we will remove you and anyone else who speaks like this from The Zionist Voice.

Spread love, spread light,

Am Yisrael Chai
