They’re really afraid of Ted Cruz ...
TED CRUZ FOR PRESIDENT!!!
I see what we have here.
An obvious message to liberal Jews not to “be fooled” by Ted Cruz.
Bleep ‘em. They won’t vote for a Republican - much less a conservative - anyway.
Let's reword this a bit. These values promote an exceptional worldview that excludes dangerous Muslims.
Proof please? Could you please show me the survey and it's questions that were put to the overwhelming population of American Jews? Don't have that? Sit down and shut up!
Don’t listen to these Commie idiots at Haaretz! They are so self hating that antisemites such as Lew Rockwell use them as a trusted source. They would support a ticket with Yasser Arafat and Shimon Peres (not necessarily in that order) if they could.

Um, probably from the Old Testament.
Some people are just never happy. They place baby killing and reproductive suicide above every other consideration.
Let's see... under the Judeo-Christian worldview, we have had a melting pot. We have been so welcoming and accommodating that those who disagree with us have had the freedom to gain power over us. As opposed to their viewpoint which is dangerous and exclusionary, deeply at odds with America's founding principles of freedom of conscience and personal property. While we would exterminate only those who seek our extermination, they will not tolerate our example of tolerance and will annihilate us to prove their inclusive attitude.
Got it.
What is this idiot prattling on about?
This is amazing. I’m in my forties and since I was a kid Jewish leaders in America and in Israel have always accused the Republican Party of being anti-Israel and anti-Semitic generally. Today it’s so obvious which party strongly defends Israel and which one is outwardly anti-Israel and anti-Semitic, but idiots like this writer look at conservative support towards Israel and Jewish Americans as being “dangerous”. The freaking left are nothing but a danger to the world with their mindset.
Unbelievable ignorance on the part of this writer. The Old Testament, including the first 5 books of the Bible (the Torah) are JEWISH and specifically forbid homosexuality ("gay marriage") and infanticide ("a women's right to choose"). Just because many Jews today are secular and have abandoned God's law and teaching does not make it void.
“While many American Jews may stand with Israel (though probably not in the sense Cruz means it), they overwhelmingly support gay marriage and a womans right to an abortion. So where does the Judeo half of Cruzs equation come from?”
The laws of God that those Jews abandoned, that’s where.
Politico speculating...that was all I needed to see
“they overwhelmingly support gay marriage and a womans right to an abortion.”
That doesn’t mean the Jewish Religion shares those views anymore than the number of self-described “Catholics” who support those positions, are reflective if Catholic teachings.
In fact, I’m not aware of any religion that supports those views.
I think the author may have missed that Cruz is conservative and is talking with conservatives.
Homosexual conduct is explicitly forbidden in Jewish and Christian scripture and teaching. No need to keep repeating what everyone ( except maybe this article’s author?) knows or can easily verify for themselves. Similarly, while there are some differences, abortion has been recognized as basically at odds with Biblical teaching, by Jews and Christians throughout the many centuries, beginning with explicit penalties for causing an abortion and, of course, the principle command to “ choose life,.” And as believed concerning the human soul of the child- in- the - womb. It is simply wrong for any author to go around and find s bunch of people who have Jewish of Christian names who don’t follow Biblical teachings — or who flaunt them — and then say that homosexual behavior and abortion are somehow approved by Judeo-Christian teachings. If the Church would finally - at long last- deny Nandi Pelosi the Eucharist — it will help clarify things do that maybe just maybe confused articles get properly edited before appearing in print. Judeo- Christian teachings , especially as regards most ethical and moral matters, are very much alive — and verifiable — and ( yes, with some variability ) agreed upon by most believere and anyone who cares to check into this can confirm it anytime they wish.
Re: “These values belie a dangerous, exclusionary worldview, deeply at odds with the universal American dream Cruz claims they represent.”
Yeah, those “dangerous, exclusionary” values such as, “we hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal and are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, that among these are the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”
Those are dangerous ideas to all those who believe in an all powerful government where the State is god over the rights of the individual.
Blessed is the Nation whose God is the Lord!
