RE: “Jews usually vote Democratic because of social issues, but when the Democratic candidate is pro-Palestinian and seems to be surrounded with anti-Semites, it may change things. Let’s hope so.”
Most Jews have voted Dem their whole lives — it’s just what they do and breaking away from that seems unthinkable. Michael Medved said on the radio Tuesday that to most observant Jews, voting Republican would be like eating pork — just NOT done. Pity........
Not so true anymore. many NY Jews voted for Giulinani and Bloomberg. They will vote for a Republican candidate if the conditions are right.
Medved knows nothing of New York politics. New York City JEws have voted for Republicans in 4 of the last 5 Mayoral elections, twice against Jewish Democrat candidates.
