About

Jexodus, a portmanteau of the words "Jew" and "exodus," is a term coined by conservative author Elizabeth Pipko describing a movement of Jewish people who have left the Democratic Party due to accusations of anti-Semitism within the party's ranks.

Origin

On November 5th, 2018, the domain for the website Jexodus.org was registered.^[1] In February 2019, United States congresswoman Ilhan Omar was accused for promoting anti-Semitic tropes while criticizing the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, a lobbying organization for Israel. On March 1st, 2019, the @Jexodus Twitter account posted a tweet promoting the Jexodus website (shown below).

According to the Jexodus.org^[3] site, the movement consists of "Jewish millennials tired of living in bondage to leftist politics."

"We are proud Jewish Millennials tired of living in bondage to leftist politics. We reject the hypocrisy, anti-Americanism, and anti-Semitism of the rising far-left. Progressives, Democrats, and far too many old-school Jewish organizations take our support for granted. After all, we’re Jewish, and Jews vote for Democrats."
