Exit polls indicate that 70 percent of Jews voted for President Obama, compared to roughly 39 percent of white voters overall.

As usual, most attention on the Jewish community has been focused on whether Obama’s 70 percent Jewish support represents a serious decline from the either 78 percent or 74 percent (depending on the source) that he received from Jews in 2008.

American's in Israel voted the other way. And remember at least 10% of them are Arab. Also, the Republican Jewish vote was suppressed by Sandy, which hit areas full of "Russian" Jews.
American Jews don't vote based on Israel and 1/3 are not fans of Israel.

Well, they did miss that fulfillment of prophecy thing concerning the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, so it comes at no great surprise that many are wandering in a spiritual wilderness yet today...

Now as for the Israelis- they appear to be more hip to what is actually happening.

85% of American Jews living in Israel voted for Romney.

American “Jew”, is like American “Catholic”. A majority of them also voted for Obama, 50 to 48. White, observant Catholics were more like 60/40 for Romney.

Just like Catholics and protestants, jews vote as conservative as they are devout. The problem is jews who are like people born into a Christian family, and who never darken the door of a church, but would call themselves “Christian”.

Lets stand with the 85% of American Jews living in Israel who voted there.
