As a rabbi, the question I am asked the most by my Christian friends, pastors, and at the churches where I have spoken is ironically not a theological question, but a political one: Why do so many Jews continually support leftist causes, organizations, and the Democratic Party when it is clear that they are against Israel, Judaism, and religion in general? Because of the importance of unifying all people of faith politically in these challenging times, it seems appropriate to address this issue and to determine how to fix it.
It is objectively true that the Democratic Party has become the party of institutionalized anti-Semitism and is clearly anti-Israel as well. Leftist organizations such as Black Lives Matter are committed to the destruction of Israel and the persecution of Jews. And although most Republicans and those on the right support Israel and religion, it is also objectively true that the vast majority of American Jews support the left.
There are a number of reasons why Jews typically support the left and vote Democrat. Some are historical. The modern state of Israel was founded during the Democratic administration of Harry Truman, and many Jews believe (incorrectly) that it was Democratic support that created Israel. (In fact, Truman was “a reluctant Cyrus but pro-Israel). When Jews were being persecuted in Russia in the early 20th century, and again in Germany in the 1930s, they were welcomed into the United States as legal immigrants. Proudly they would study and ultimately receive American citizenship after coming from countries where they never enjoyed the rights of full citizens. Whether by choice or pressure, the United States under a Democratic administration supported Israel in the Six Day War, and Congress was supportive of Jewish causes and Israel.

Real Jews vote Republican.
JINOs vote ‘Rat.
You can’t fix stupid.
Because American Judaism has as part and parcel of its belief that liberalism IS Judaism.
God’s Chosen People are those who follow Him.
Abraham had a liberal’s heart but a conservative’s mind..................
It’s all about the $$$ and opportunities to scam them.
Jews have been choosing poorly since Barabbas...
I prefaced my question by saying that I had recently learned that he was a Rabbi at one time.
He said that whenever a Gentile mentions that he used to be a Rabbi, he knows what the next question will be. He said he didn't know but even if every Jew in America voted for a Republican or a Conservative, there aren't enough of them to make a difference.
Yeah, posts like that’ll get some Jewish support, oh boy!
I doubt 1/10 American Jewish person knows anything about Tlab’s antics.
There is a huge embargo of information.
Is there any other groups that tend to live in urban areas at a higher rate than Jews? Maybe it’s just a function of where they choose to live. Urban vs rural living splits every group to my understanding and is a better political predictor than ethnicity or creed.

I think the Rabbis own style of thinking gets to some of the problem of political sentiment among many Jewish people. I use this example the Rabbi starts out with, when he says:
“Because of the importance of unifying all people of faith politically in these challenging times, it seems appropriate to address this issue and to determine how to fix it.”
“Unifying”??? “All” people faith????
Such enormous unity is neither possible nor natural. To do so is ONLY possible in Leftist dreams where all diverse values are crushed in a Leftist monoculture.
If the Rabbi had said:
“Because of the importance of politically bringing together people of different in these challenging times, it seems appropriate to address this issue and to determine how to fix it.”
That - politically bringing together people of different faiths in theses challenging times - yes, THAT is possible. “Unifying”, “All” faiths is a non-starter.
The Orthodox Jews are very conservative.
The lefties are from the other groups.
Unfortunately the Orthodox Jews are a small percentage of total US Jewry.
Leftist Jews are perhaps the sickest of all leftists. “Never Again” is ringing very hollow.
becoming more secular teaches marxism, secular humanism, and postmodernism =
lefturd loonism
Red, cannot tell you how many times I’ve heard Jews in Broward county say Trump is Hitler, Republicans are Nazis,Republicans need to be in camps and Christians are our enemies...F them all!
FTA: “When Jews were being persecuted in Russia in the early 20th century, and again in Germany in the 1930s, they were welcomed into the United States as legal immigrants.”
Tell that to the passengers of the liner St. Louis.
There aren’t enough jews to make up for 100 million Mexicans and another 100 million central americans, also hundreds of thousands of Afghanis.
