“Jews are liberals first and Jews second.”
I would change that to:
“Liberal Jews are liberals first and Jews second.”
In fact you can make that into a general rule:
“Liberal Xs are liberal first and X second”. X can be anything.
I would go even further, with:
“Politics trumps everything!”
- which actually makes a lot of sense, since, when boiled down to its essence, politics is, above all, about “perceived self interest”, and what’s more important to each one of us than our self interest?
Do you know any politically conservative Jews?
I sure don’t.
