Israel’s Diaspora Affairs Minister, Nachman Shai, said this week that “we may lose America” due to progressive causes like Black Lives Matter and the Boycott, Divest and Sanction movement.
“The other day, I briefed the cabinet and said: ‘If we see more of the radical left and progressive liberal Jews continuing to support BDS and Black Lives Matter, and similar to the Palestinians they relate to Israel as a genocide state or an apartheid state, we may lose America,’” Shai said on the American Jewish Committee’s “People of the Pod” podcast in a recent episode.
“The bridge to the Democratic Party and the Republican Party goes through the American Jewish community, and that’s the only bridge I believe in,” he continued.
Shai added later that Jews in America “may be very critical of what’s going on in Israel — I also have a lot of criticism — it doesn’t matter. We should share the same values, we should believe in the same things, we should get together and help each other for a common future.”

He should worry more about losing Israel to Reform haters in Israel which the government is now funding with 40 million dollars. Liberal Jews hate Israel just as much as BLM, Antifa and BDS. In fact, a large percent of BDRs are liberal and Reform Jews.

Stupid chilonim don’t understand that it’s not they, the secular medina, who are loosing the American nonreligious Jews, it’s the American nonreligious Jews who getting lost and going extinct altogether. What else do you expect with a low TFR and 80% intermarriage rate?! If chilonim had any brain and a true concern for the Jewish nation, they would have admitted that they are next in line for self destruction and that cancelling the 100-years-long secular-experiment and returning back to Yidishkeit is the only way to survive as Jews long-term.
