Yep. And that, to me, is a curious fact.
It's been suggested that American Jews will vote overwhelmingly for Obama this time out. But jeepers, why they would do anything that suicidal is beyond me. They must have a death wish....
Obama is an unreconstructed anti-semite; he has more sympathy/empathy for the Muslim Brotherhood than he has for the State of Israel. He is more concerned about the creation of a Palestinian state than the survival of the Jewish state. He insists on the Palestinians' "right of return" — which would drown Israel under a vast demographic tidal wave, extinguishing it forever as a Jewish state. He is enabling Iran to acquire nuclear weapons, knowing full well that those bombs would be targeted on Israel, not to mention our own American bases and forces on the ground in the Middle East.
You wondered whether anything would be different, had the Holocaust never happened. Good question. But it seems to me that (perhaps) many Jews lost their faith in God because of the Holocaust — they simply could not understand how a just and loving God could let that happen to them. Perhaps many became effectively atheist as a consequence.
Thanks so much for writing, 2banana!
I also am bewildered that any Jew - or Christian - would vote for Obama. He is the most anti-Israel, anti-Christianity, pro-Islam president known to me.
