It's Long Overdue for Jews to Take the Right Trail

By Rich Kozlovich 

Tikkun Olam is a foundational Jewish philosophy that is all about “fixing the world”:

"......that calls on humanity to partner with the Divine to heal, fix, and improve a broken world. It has evolved from an ancient mystical and legal idea into a contemporary guiding principle for social justice, environmentalism, and community action."

But one has to wonder how can a people, especially a people who are arguably smartest people in the world, possibly believe that concept resides in the Democrat party, or any leftist movement for that matter? 

Leftists, especially the far-left crowd, are philosophically and actively antisemites.  They are now and have always been antisemites. That’s history, and that history is incontestable. Yet America’s Jews have consistently been the most reliable voters for the Democrat party. Why? Because Jews suffer from heuristic preconceptualism, and not just in America, 

So, lets define this.  

• Heuristic - "A mental shortcut or "rule of thumb" used to make quick decisions, solve problems, or form judgments when time or information is limited. While these methods trade precision for speed, they offer a "good enough" solution that saves vital mental energy in everyday situations......While heuristics enable highly efficient, automatic thinking, they can sometimes lead to systematic errors, cognitive biases, or faulty assumptions if over-relied upon."
• Preconceptualism - Drawing conclusions without doing any research, and then refuse to hear anything that contradicts those conclusions, ergo, since you never hear anything that refutes the conclusion, the conclusion must be right.

They clearly refuse to see, read or hear anything that refutes their views, irrespective of history, facts or reality.    Will this change?  I think to a degree, but when you look at what happened on October 7th 2026 in Israel and the direction the leftist Israelis have taken ever since, I have to doubt the numbers will change dramatically. 

It’s the Two Trails Story, and they keep taking the wrong trail.  As Daniel Greenfield notes:

The attacks were launched less than a month after the new Israeli government was sworn in. The Netanyahu government has pledged to reform the leftist judiciary which enables terrorism......

A generation of Israelis has grown up in a state of siege because the terrorists waging war on the country enjoy extensive foreign support from Iran, the EU, and the State Department in the United States, as well as domestic support from the Israeli Left, which uses its official and activist arms to undermine the fight against terrorism in every possible way...........

The Left was able to legitimize the PLO and give it control of sizable parts of Israel by crippling previous efforts by conservative governments to defeat the terrorists and expel them from Israel...........

What is going on in Israel is not just warfare, but a culture war between the democratic majority and an entrenched leftist elite that will use any means to protect its power and privilege............

The positions taken by these leftists are insane and clearly represent an existential threat to Israel, and yet they continue down that destructive trail.   Leftists are certifiable lunatics, irrespective of geography, religion, race, or ethnicity.
