Time to talk about politics and religion. American Jews apparently voted for Obama in record numbers both times. Did they think out of the box, or is their death wish for Israel real?
It is sad to think that we Christians appear to support Israel to a far greater extent than do American Jews.
Two thoughts:

A very well-known and popular rabbi in Israel, Shlomo Riskin, explains why Trump’s victory is victory for the Jewish people

Excerpt:
Trump won 24% of Jewish American voters, compared to 71% who voted for Clinton, only slightly more than the 69% who voted for Obama in 2012, and less than the 78% who voted for him in 2008. There is a sharp divide between Orthodox Jewish voting patterns and those of Reform, Conservative and unaffilliated Jews, some of whom would not be considered halakhically Jewish. That differentiation is not yet in.
I wish you would knock it off.
There are plenty of Jewish conservatives. I am one myself. Obama did pretty well with Catholics. Most Blacks are not Jews. Most millenials are not Jews. Most white females are not Jews. Most Hispanics are not Jews.
Jews have a history of being the victim of people who start off loving them and then grow angry when it turns out that the Jews don’t think the way their “friends”’do. See Muhammad and Martin Luthor as examples of this.
If you want more Jews to join our movement you are not going to make them feel welcome by slamming their co-religionists who remain politically unenlightened
Furthermore, every German-American can wonder why the Germans in Europe are rolling out the welcome wagon for illegal Muslim immigrants. Every Irish-American can ask why Ireland is toying with remaining in the EU when the UK leaves. For that matter, every British-American can only speculate about the partnership between England and its Muslim immigrants who terrorize British men and rape Brtish girls.
I think we also owe a thanks to the Pennsylvania Amish who put Trump over the top there.
It appears they were instrumental in overcoming the big-city cheats.
There is no one answer. There are secular Jews who vote for radicals no matter what. Secularism and Marxism is their religion. Some Orthodox, from what I understand, want to study and practice their religion full time and use welfare to support their large families. Many look at tax as alms for the poor, whereas, Christians do not.
You just made an excellent, albeit distressing, point.
Jews are not the only people with a substantial self-destructive element in their midst.
That Germany has elected (and kept in office) Merkel..who’s destroying the country with her millions of IslamoNazi invaders, shows a similar suicidal bent. Also, France, UK, Italy, and now I hear the new Canadian government too?
When we come right down to brass tacks, USA elected the illegal islamoNazi invader in chief....TWICE! that demonstrates a significant suicidal tendency in American culture, ..... alas!
After electing the anti=American Obama TWICE, and having given HilLIARy the popular vote this year......we Americans are hardly in any position to criticize anybody else for demonstrating a suicidal bent. We need to cure the log in our own eye before being too vocal criticizing anyone else’s speck in theirs.
Pray for America! and all the rest too
