David Cole likens it to the old Jewish folk tale of the Golem: Jews create a monster out of mud, the monster runs amok and ultimately turns on its makers. In Cole’s metaphor for contemporary American politics, the mud-men terrorising America’s Jews are the twin monsters of the BLM “racial reckoning” thugs and the muddy hordes of Middle-Easterner and sub-Saharan Africans imported en-masse to prop up the Democrat vote.
Cole in particular fingers the “golem creator extraordinaire”, George Soros.
An atheist Jew who fancies neither Israel nor communism, Soros defies the easy anti-Jewish conspiracy theory stereotypes. But in fact Soros is not difficult to understand. He’s defined by his youth in WWII Hungary [and…] he still sees himself as under occupation by gentile racists […]
To battle his present-day (imaginary) Nazis, Soros has constructed an assembly line of black golems. He’s devoted his fortune ($32 billion just since 2017) to shielding black criminals from prosecution and incarceration. Every day in cities across the U.S., black thugs with Soros-bought immunity from consequences venture forth to murder, steal, rape, and assault.
For Soros, this is war, and every murder committed by one of his blacks is its own mini-Dresden, another blow against fascist Western Christendom.

James Howard Kunstler, another American Jewish writer, doesn’t put it quite so brutally pithily as Cole, but his argument is essentially the same.
Jewish Americans have played a leading role in American intellectual and political life through the 20th century and into this one […]
American Jews have also been major players in the political Left through the past hundred-odd years, and especially within the Democratic Party. Lately, it appears that the Democratic Party is bent on destroying the country, so one is naturally left to wonder how this happened and what is the role of American Jews in this.
For Jewish immigrants of the 19th and 20th, Kunstler says, America became almost as much a promised land as Israel itself. Jews have been extraordinarily successful in America. Mostly because they assimilated so completely. But, like the rest of the left in the first half of the 20th century, Jewish Americans couldn’t help noticing that America wasn’t exactly perfect.
Tikkun Olam means repair the world. This has been driving American Judaism since the early 20th century […] They endeavored to repair America. Tikkun Olam!
Mostly this expressed itself in Jewish support and involvement in the Civil Rights movement, since the end of discrimination against anybody was considered a good thing for the Jews as well as humanity in general. The country needed a moral repair job, especially after defeating manifest evil in the big war. That effort climaxed in the mid 1960s with the federal legislation that ended Jim Crow policy in voting and public accommodations. Much of the actual on-the-ground work to make this happen was accomplished by Jewish lawyers. This is a fact, not an accusation.
But there was just a teensy problem, something Norman Podhoretz twigged to even in the early days of Civil Rights: many black Americans were not exactly brimming with gratitude. For a long time I was puzzled to think that Jews were supposed to be rich when the only Jews I knew were poor, and that Negroes were supposed to be persecuted when it was the Negroes who were doing the only persecuting I knew about—and doing it, moreover, to me.
This became a growing fiasco for American Jewish liberals, who, by the 1980s, then strove to impose another set of repairs (more tikkun olam) on American society: multiculturalism, meaning it was no longer necessary to promote a common culture that people would be encouraged to assimilate into, to join a consensus of values and behaviors. Instead, all cultures could behave according to their own rules. That hasn’t worked out so well either, and the world repairers have lately had to resort to coercion such as tyrannical diversity, equity, and inclusion policies and the shoving aside of equal opportunity for enforced equal outcomes (“equity”). That business has only produced additional unintended consequences, such as the new epidemic of institutional incompetence and the resentment of at least half the population against new forms of counter-discrimination (cultural Marxism, in short).
Another poorly understood byproduct of this failure to repair the world is the guilt and shame secretly experienced by the American liberal Left over the apparent failure of the Civil Rights movement they fought so hard for, and the subsequent failed efforts to tweak it and save it (still more tikkun olam). Thus, we see the absurd racist “anti-racism” of the universities, and so many other affronts to common sense and reality itself.
But the worst byproduct of all this tragically misguided tikkun olam is that the main political vehicle for it, the Democratic Party, has gone so insane that it now devotes itself fanatically to the utter destruction of what remains of our country.
Enter, Soros. As Kunstler notes, the devotion to burning down America is most obvious in the law. The golem army of Soros-funded DAs (many, if not most, black) are running amok.
The Democratic Party has decided it’s okay to use the law in bad faith to persecute and jail its political opponents. The Democratic Party has destroyed Americans’ faith in the federal courts, the Department of Justice, and the FBI. The Democratic Party allows an invasion of millions of unvetted aliens across the border, quite a few of them possibly bent on making mayhem here as global tensions careen into hot war.
James Howard Kunstler
The only option for American Jews who not only want to repair America, but survive the racial reckoning is to get the hell out of Democrat Dodge. Put their undeniable cultural energy into re-energising an American common culture of rule of law, and reward for merit and effort.
Otherwise, the mud-men are just going to stomp you into oblivion. And, if they get their way, there may not even be an Israel for Jews to flee to, any more.
