JEXODUS: Jewish Millennials Launch A ‘Liberation Movement’ From The Democratic Party

[Swordsmyth]

For decades, the Democratic Party has often taken the Jewish-American vote for granted. In no presidential election (https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jewish-voting-record-in-u-s-presidential-elections) since the founding of the State of Israel in 1948 has the Democratic Party failed to win a plurality of the Jewish vote. Even the infamously anti-Israel (https://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/28/opinion/jimmy-carter-america-must-recognize-palestine.html) Jimmy Carter won a 45% plurality share of the Jewish vote in 1980, outdoing Ronald Reagan's 39% of the Jewish vote. In 2016, 71% of Jews (http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2016/11/09/how-the-faithful-voted-a-preliminary-2016-analysis/) pulled the lever for Hillary Clinton. While the minority of American Jews who identify as Orthodox routinely favor the Republican Party at the ballot box, non-Orthodox Jews tend to overwhelmingly support Democrats.

Now, a new, Millennial-centric group — "Jexodus (http://jexodus.org)" — seeks to reverse this longstanding trend.
Per a press release from Jexodus's soft launch at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Washington, D.C. last Friday, here is how the group self-describes (http://jexodus.org):

We are proud Jewish Millennials tired of living in bondage to leftist politics. We reject the hypocrisy, anti-Americanism, and anti-Semitism of the rising far-left. Progressives, Democrats, and far too many old-school Jewish organizations take our support for granted. After all, we’re Jewish, and Jews vote for Democrats.
Until today.
We are determined and we are unafraid to speak for ourselves. As combatants and veterans of the campus wars, we know the threat progressivism poses to Jews. We’ve had front row seats witnessing anti-Semites hide behind the thin veil of anti-Zionism. We know the BDS movement harbors deep hatred not only for Israel, but for Jews. We’re done standing with supposed Jewish leaders and allegedly supportive Democrats who rationalize, mainstream, and promote our enemies. We’d rather spend forty years wandering in the desert than belong to a party that welcomes Jew-haters like Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.


Jexodus is the brainchild of Jeff Ballabon — a longstanding fixture (http://www.b2strategic.com) in Republican Jewish circles — and an assortment of like-minded activists like Bruce Abramson, Ballabon's frequent op-ed coauthor (https://www.dailywire.com/news/39819/abramson-and-ballabon-realist-plan-arabisraeli-bruce-abramson). Some of Ballabon's prior successful ventures include starting the now-annual Shabbat at CPAC and his work on the Republican Party's Israel-specific platform language drafted (https://theresurgent.com/2016/07/11/republicans-submit-most-pro-israel-language-in-gop-history-trump-still-neutral/) at the Party's 2016 national convention; Ballabon is widely credited with helping lead the charge on changes made to the Party's 2016 platform that expressly removed any references to or mandates for a "two-state solution" with the Palestinian-Arabs, and overtly stated that Israel is not an "occupier" with respect to its lawful (https://www.dailywire.com/news/11948/breaking-down-israeli-occupation-myth-elliott-hamilton) presence in Judea and Samaria.


Jexodus's national spokesperson is Elizabeth Pipko (https://www.instagram.com/elizabethpipko/?hl=en), a religious Jew and part-time model with close ties (https://nypost.com/2019/01/26/i-was-a-secret-trump-supporter-model-feared-politics-would-kill-her-career/) to President Trump's 2020 reelection campaign. In an exclusive interview with The Daily Wire, Pipko described Jexodus as a Millennial-centric movement to help "get Jews to stand up for themselves and what their religion stands for." Pipko discussed media bias and how the casual cable news viewer is oftentimes more likely to hear about President Trump's alleged anti-Semitism than he/she is likely to hear about Ilhan Omar's (actual (https://www.dailywire.com/news/44380/every-democratic-excuse-ilhan-omars-anti-semitism-ben-shapiro)) anti-Semitism (https://www.dailywire.com/news/44224/hammer-yes-we-have-keep-calling-out-ilhan-omars-josh-hammer).
Jexodus will initially launch in New York and Florida, which are both home to sizable Jewish populations. From there, Pipko says that the plan will be to expand to across the country — everywhere from Pennsylvania and Ohio to Arizona and California.

How on Earth do you find these stories?

Perhaps they can brainstorm with YAL?

Perhaps but they are rabidly pro-Israel so any alliance would have to be limited.

AH,...

[enhanced_deficit]

Hopefully be more decisive than brexit nightmare.

That said, recently a video was leaked on youtube and promptly banned where some US Jewish millenial looking pro-Netanyahu folks were using various racist terms. Hopefully just few bad apples caught by Max at the wrong time and place but Trump should probably ask GOP leaders to not accept folks with such views until they regret those statements, rest should be welcomed with open arms. Today's Republican party under bold leadership of America First MAGA, Ivanka and Kushner is far more tolerant (http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?532255-US-House-passes-hate-speech-bill&p=6764743&viewfull=1#post6764743) of religious/other minorities. E.g., Tucker Carlson, Ann Coulter, Steve Bannon were apparently banned from CPAC 2019 and Obama green jobz czar Van Jones was accepted.

It seems that only accomplished exit of Kanye West from GOP-MAGA campaign, although I could be wrong.

[ProBlue33]

They are correct to do so.
For those that were here in 2012 watching both national conventions happen, the GOP had their own controversy with Ron Paul.
But the DNC had one too.......and it involved supporting Israel.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8BwqzzqcDs

How far has the bar moved since 2012 on this issue with these people.
The DNC and it's social mob have no idea the political kryptonite they are dealing with, forget Russian interference in the general if they keep heading down this path the Mossad may decide to take action that ensures another Trump win and the continued favored status, of coarse it would be wrong but they won't care.
Also since their is heavy influence on the media from Zionists, Trump might start to get favorable press for the first time.
I can't believe how stupid these people are.

Meh, own it.

You voted overwhelmingly for politicians and policies that allowed these people here by the millions.

Deal with it.

Common sense would tell you to stop voting for people that want to import people who hate you.

But amongst Jews as well as Gentiles, it seems common sense is not common at all.

Are you suggesting people live with the consequences of their own actions?

That's, like, so twentieth century.

Nobody alive today voted for Puerto Rican people to have US citizenship. The policies that displaced these people from their homes was supported by dems and republicans. The Somali war is being fought by Trump till this day and our policy on Palestine has also been supported by both parties.

Wouldn't it be nice to have a party who would say no to meddling with internal affairs of other countries? But as you say, people keep voting for people like Trump who destabilize other countries that lead to the creation of refugees.

[PursuePeace]

I'm all for people leaving the Democrat party.


In an exclusive interview with The Daily Wire, Pipko described Jexodus as a Millennial-centric movement to help "get Jews to stand up for themselves and what their religion stands for."

And what would that be, exactly?

That is the $1,000,000 question, it depends on which Jew you ask and Pipko isn't telling, at least not here.

The First Millennials , photographed here with MAGA and Kanye West, have already exited Democratic party according to recent media reports (although former MAGA advisor Steve Bannon had claimed that they were still Democrats).

Like any other group, Jewish Americans are not a monolithic group and lately there is even increasing divide on many issues.

For some , like America-First MAGA's top funder Adelson , top issue is US support for Israel and its military.
He even raised money for Israeli military recently , although no repots in MSM if he ever raised money for US military/veterans despite having called for US military nuclear strike on Iran. It may sound strange but there are some America First billionaires who roll like this.

Others, like respected human liberties activist Max Blumenthal, on other end of spectrum may support views like this:

Yeah, imagine that.

We offered, if not a party, at least a candidate would say no.

He was roundly rejected.

[TheCount]

Sounds legit. #walkaway #redtsunami

[juleswin]

Yeah, imagine that.

He was soundly rejected by the republicans and even worse, the so called saviour of the republic Trump was leader of the mob squad that rejected him. So lets not pretend that what we are seeing now is as a result of progressive voting.

[Anti Globalist]

The more people leaving the Democratic party, the better. Though I would be happier if they didn't go to the Republican party.

[Origanalist]

Trump embraces zionism, what do you expect?

[oyarde]

I never could figure out why the large majority of Jewish people vote Dem in the first place . People say they are supposed to be smart . That is seriously contradictory . Then it dawned on me that it seems they all live in large shithole cities and are probably involved in the local graft of the Dem parties .

Many also harbor a desire to destroy the Christian societies they live in as revenge for wrongs (real and fictional) that they believe were done to their ancestors by Christians even though they never were wronged and every group on the planet has had wrongs done to them at various times in history.

They should just man up and refuse service to catholics and quit taking their money , LOL

Taking money is one way they seek to get revenge and/or the power for revenge.

I would like to see more Jewish Millennials join with these guys, Jews Against Zionism (https://www.truetorahjews.org), who have a fully formed and scholarly basis for rejecting modern Israel. The Torah says Israel will come only AFTER the Second Coming (which is the first for Jews.) Anything else is blasphemy and sacrilege.

Yah, I understand that.

Do you really think progressives would have backed Paul in a general election?

[acptulsa]

Yah, I understand that.

Do you really think progressives would have backed Paul in a general election?

The polls said a majority would have elected him. I believe that had more to do with nonpartisans than progs. But I do believe it would have happened.

Clearly GOP primary voters were fine with Obama.

The problem is the partisans, not the independents. The partisans get caught up in style over substance. The partisans are the ones that flock to whomever the MSM makes look the most popular. The partisans are the ones who constantly get fooled into nominating their least electable candidate. The partisans support boondoggles that send a message over policies that make a difference.

No wonder the Deep State leaves it up to the partisans to choose the candidates.

[juleswin]

Yah, I understand that.

Do you really think progressives would have backed Paul in a general election?

May be not but I think after his first term, I think he would win enough of them over. But why does it matter what the progressives would do? Trump didn't need them to win the WH(Bernie bros crossovers don't count) and Paul wouldn't need them if the republicans who had the opprtunity had not rejected him. The same way I don't blame the libertarians for Bernie losing to Hillary, I don't blame the progressives for Paul losing out to Rmney and McCain.

President Trump on Tuesday kept up his campaign to turn Jewish voters away from the Democratic Party (https://www.yahoo.com/news/white-house-spars-with-reporters-over-trumps-claim-democrats-hate-jews-200513431.html), tweeting support for an organization founded only a week ago called “Jexodus.”
Trump’s tweet quoted its spokesperson, Elizabeth Pipko, a 23-year-old model turned activist and former Trump campaign staffer.
Pipko appeared on “Fox & Friends” on Tuesday morning.
“‘Jewish people are leaving the Democratic Party,’” Trump tweeted (https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1105441310041878530), quoting Pipko. “‘We saw a lot of anti Israel policies start under the Obama Administration, and it got worsts & worse. There is anti-Semitism in the Democratic Party. They don’t care about Israel or the Jewish people.’”


Jexodus.org (https://jexodus.org/), a site for “Jewish Millennials tired of living in bondage to leftist politics,” launched earlier this month at the Conservative Political Action Conference.
“We reject the hypocrisy, anti-Americanism, and anti-Semitism of the rising far-left,” a message on the site reads. “Progressives, Democrats, and far too many old-school Jewish organizations take our support for granted. After all, we’re Jewish, and Jews vote for Democrats. Until today.”
American Jews supported Hillary Clinton over Trump by 71-24, the largest margin of any of the denominations (including “unaffiliated”) surveyed by Pew Research (http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2016/11/09/how-the-faithful-voted-a-preliminary-2016-analysis/ft_16-11-09_relig_exitpoll_religrace/) and consistent with the results of the last five presidential elections.
“We’re done standing with supposed Jewish leaders and allegedly supportive Democrats who rationalize, mainstream, and promote our enemies,” said a press release announcing the site’s launch. “We’d rather spend forty years wandering in the desert than belong to a party that welcomes Jew-haters like Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.”

According to the Daily Wire (https://www.dailywire.com/news/44392/jexodus-jewish-millennials-launch-liberation-josh-hammer), Jexodus is the “brainchild” of Jeff Ballabon, a Jewish Republican operative and an adviser to Trump’s presidential campaign (http://www.b2strategic.com/leadership.html).
It's unclear how many “members” Jexodus has.
According to her bio (https://jexodus.org/the-team/), Pipko is an “international model, Trump 2016 campaign staffer, poet, patriot, and fiercely proud millennial.” Her official title is “national Jexodus spokesperson.”
“We left Egypt, and now we’re leaving the Democratic Party,” Pipko said on “Fox & Friends” in comments the president omitted from his tweet.
