Israel Matzav

As Baltimore disintegrates, the Joooz are blamed

Yes, that flyer is for real (Hat Tip: Jack W).

Last night at a public hearing on the budget in Prince George’s County, Maryland, a flyer with the following headline was circulated:

From Baltimore to Jerusalem It’s the Same Game. In 10 years Chris Van Hollen and Ben Cardin sent 1.2 billion dollars of Maryland Federal taxpayer money to the Apartheid state of Israel to build schools, roads and other infrastructure while saying Maryland doesn’t have the money to help develop our communities.
...

Who circulated the flyer? Surely, it was supporters of Donna Edwards, the African-American congresswoman who is running against Van Hollen for the Senate. It would be interesting to hear what Edwards has to say about this attack on her rival and a sitting Democratic (Jewish) Senator.

Anti-Israel rants by Black radicals are nothing new; nor is Black anti-Semitism. But injecting them into a Democratic primary campaign via a publicly circulated flyer suggests that the anti-Israel, anti-Semitic Black left has become emboldened.

Why? Perhaps it’s because President Obama has been so eager to attack Israel, though not, of course, as viciously as Edwards’ supporters have. Israel bashing is now acceptable for left-wing Democratic officer holders.

Read the whole thing. But don't hold your breath waiting for American Jews to wake up and vote Republican and donate to Republicans.

What could go wrong?

A stunning survey from Baltimore

This is not directly related to Israel, but it's too important not to discuss. How many of you remember this chart and this post?

There's a new survey out in Baltimore - one of America's largest Jewish communities - that's confirming the chart above:

Some of the study’s more dramatic finds show a community that has surged from being 21 percent to 32 percent Orthodox, has seen those “just managing” economically or worse shoot from one in five to one in three, and has witnessed people ages 85 and older climb from 9 percent of the senior population (65 and older) to 20 percent.

Other statistics are equally stunning: When it comes to marriage, 87 percent of the Orthodox young adults ages 18 to 34 are married; 91 percent of non-Orthodox Jews in that group remain single. Equally sure to causes gasps is how only 30 percent of children of intermarriages are being raised Jewish.

“Overall, if you ask me are there a lot of big surprises, I’d say that in most areas the directions are not surprising. But in some cases the rates of change or non-change are surprising,” said Dr. Jack Ukeles, whose Ukeles Associates Inc. did both this and the 1999 Baltimore community study. “If you had asked me would the Orthodox community continue to grow, I would say probably. If you would ask would it be 32 percent as opposed to 21 percent, that’s a huge increase and has huge implications for the community.”
