Let me put this out there. I’m happy that there are Jews in both the Democratic and Republican parties. That’s balance. Jews have a variety of political beliefs. If any party decides to “capture” all the Jews, leaving the other with none, that itself if a failure since it’s almost certain the party without Jews would succumb to antisemitism. Let Jews just be people.

100% Agree Steve

I'm pretty sure in Trump's opinion that a crappy Jew is one who doesn't vote for him, as indicated by his recent comments that Jews who vote Democrat should have their heads examined.

Reminds me of Biden’s comment when he told black people that they weren’t black if they didn’t vote for him. Poor taste all the way around.

Probably the sentiment of most politicians.

I prefer the "corned beef vs pastrami" measurement.

Jay Berman's avatar

Tough call, but can not really turn down a good corned beef sandwich.

SGman's avatar

See, I'm on the pastrami side of the argument: gotta have the pepper!

Sounds interesting but I'm not sure of the meaning.

SGman's avatar

It's a joke using a shibboleth of no meaning.

Curtis Stinespring's avatar

Thanks. Of course I did not know what a shibboleth was. I looked it up and was somewhat enlightened but am still looking for a scale related to crappy Jew vs. good Jew.

There basically isn't one, with the possible exception of the Kapos in Nazi Germany.

We're ultimately talking about an ethnoreligious group - and thus any discussion of a good or crappy member of the ethnic group is inherently a problem.

Great take. Anyone who supports Hamas is an abject moron, period. Their race, religion, colour, creed, gender identity, political affiliation, or favourite colour, have absolutely no bearing on that assessment.

Agree...trump's view of good and "crapoy" Jew are solely political. Even though his son in law is a Democratic Jew and his daughter is married to him.

What does that make them ??.

Cameron Sprow's avatar

Nobody should vote democrat, Jew or gentile. Just my 2 cents.

Steve Berman's avatar

At least you’re consistent.

"Crappy Jew"...dare i say it; WEIRD!

What really confuses me is i could swear on a stack of Tanakh that we were told how Jared Kushner was going to fix all of this...what could possibly have gone wrong?
