Sum:
I have asked many of my Jewish friends and I never get a coherent answer as to why they do it...
Their number 1 issue is Israel, they are family-oriented social conservatives, they are pro-business...
I just don;t get it....
It goes back to what I have said in the past about the Republicans need new leadership to articulate that these groups that vote lock-step democratic really need to answer why...
And we have to display why it is in everyones self interest to vote Republican....
I find this so OBVIOUSLY illogical on their part. I have been debating with a gentleman who is Jewish on another forum for several years. He is decidedly pro-Israel but consistently supports liberals and their socialist agenda. Go figure....
It might make for interesting research by those in psychological or sociology fields. ;-/
(There HAS to be SOME reason for this.)
It is very frustrating. The secular “Jewish” mindset is an incoherent mass of contradictions, becasue it’s really a collection of prejudices brought over from eastern Europe by their immigrant grandparents at the beginning of the 20th century. You need to understand (though not condone) that most secular are not remotely observant and many could not tell you anything significant about their supposed religion.
They came over here because of being persecuted in Russia & Poland, so when Bolshevism triumphed in Russia, they all supported it (and still do) because the czar was their enemy, which to them made Lenin et al their friend(s). When (prior to the 1960s) they were kept out of universities and medical schools by a quota system against Jews, and were denied jobs for which they were eminently qualified, entry into hotels, resorts, country clubs, when they weren’t allowed to buy real estate in “restricted” areas of upscale Westchester and other NY/CT suburbs, they developed a loathing for what they perceived to be the WASP establishment. It all comes from this.
