I have never understood the Jewish position in this presidential race. It was under President Clinton that they gave up the most, which in the eyes of the Arabs made them weak and led to the Intifada which has killed them over and over since. Yet, they for some social ideology they will make their lives worth less by putting into the presidency someone with an even more pro Palestinian bent? How many more Jewish children [and also Palestinian children] die for a liberal ideal?

It makes me truly wonder if some of these people really want peace, or do they want the continued terror so they can keep power? I have no idea, then again I do not know why anyone who KNOWS that terrorism is THE ISSUE would vote for a man who believes the only time to use the military is AFTER an attack and with consultation of the rest of the world.

"It makes me truly wonder if some of these people really want peace, or do they want the continued terror so they can keep power? "

I don't know. I have wondered. I don't have any data but just a gut instinct--a lot of secular American Jews just may not much give a sh&t about Israel--like lots of American nominal "Christians" are embarrassed by GW's faith in Jesus Christ, and don't want to be seen as "Christians."

They identify with the post-religious cultural elite. Israel, or Jesus, are like reminders of where they came from, and they are ashamed of their unstylish origins. JMHO
