Jewish Democrat or democratic Jew?

Dear Editor:

1. A Jewish Democrat—you are Jewish and vote Democrat regardless of the democratic party’s discriminations against you.

2. A democratic Jew—you are a dedicated Democrat. Being a Jew doesn’t matter.

By these two definitions, being a Jew doesn’t matter. You are adding fuel to wiping out the remaining Jews that were not wiped out during the last century.

Sounds harsh, doesn’t it? But is being a Democrat more important than being a part of 5780 years of being Jewish? Jewish Democrat or democratic Jew means leaving the words Jewish or Jew out, and Democrat or democratic in.

Democrats don’t give a _ _ _ _ about the Jews.

A true 5780-year Jew would leave Democrat or democratic out.
