Why American Jews Vote So Liberal & Why They Shouldn’t
israelmuse ^ | September 4, 2010 | Dr. Norman Berdichevsky:

Time and time again, I read in websites and blogs around the internet the question and puzzling paradox posed by Gentiles who strongly support Israel, how can it be that so many Jews continue to blindly vote for ultra-liberal causes that are inherently ultra-critical of Israel and even subliminally of Jews.

[snip]

The American Liberal Jews, whose identity has been stamped three generations ago by their grandparents under FDR continue to picture themselves as enlightened and the true inheritors of the mantle of Jewish concerns for 'social justice,' followed the Pied Piper of Chicago wherever he led, oblivious to all the evidence amassed and catalogued and shouted from the roof tops in 2008. He sat in Reverend Wright’s church for 20 years and couldn’t hear what anybody could determine from a few minutes listening to the same old antisemitic rhetoric used by the country’s most well known antisemite, Louis Farrakhan.

Some prominent American Jews, particularly among those who cannot escape the narcotic-like trance they have inherited as 'progressives' and are essentially secular and ultra-critical of capitalism and American society with its underlying Christian values, have developed a new kind of psychological self-hatred to exhibit a disassociation from the State of Israel and their religious heritage. They are upset over the close Israeli-American friendship and wish to be absolved from the heinous charge that they once may have actually subscribed to a sense of Jewish solidarity when that meant only solidarity with victimhood—the Jews as eternal martyrs.

I am a sabra; it just means Jewish person born in Israel.

You can’t “become” a sabra. “Olim” are Jewish people who make aliyah. My parents are olim.

Maybe its time we start stripping people of their citizenship when they act so recklessly with their responsibility.

I don’t agree with my liberal tribesman, but do you realize what you are saying when you call someone an “oven Jew”?
What kind of evil person are you?

Evil? That's not just my term. Those of us who lost relatives to the Nazis know EXACTLY what it means. Your "liberal tribesmen", both here and in Israel, are suicidal.

If -— if -— you lost relatives in the Shoa, you would know the entire “Jewish people marched quietly to the showers” meme was a myth.

I’m aware of what a sabra is and that is what I was suggesting the persons who could have left Europe and go to Israel (Palestine by Brits terms) in 1930’s would be generating in their children born there.
But in any case, thanks for the observation.

And I suppose you will be Judge and Jury?

Oven Jew

Never heard that term in my 56 year existence nor could I possible imagine that term coming out of the mouth of ANY Jew. One of the most disgusting post I've encountered to date..

naw...I am just sick of people not taking their responsibilities seriously. As the founders have said...we deserve the government we get.

If the people actually understood what was really happening during an election we would get much better results.

At what point do you wonder if these people are just traitors?

L’shana tova!

I have stuff to buy before the holiday starts. It rained and the Rabbi tells us (emails us) the creek behind the shul is full of water, so we are going to go splashing with the kids.

Be off of FR until Monday.

[Oven Jew]

Example:
Although their electorate is predominately Arab, the Balad and United Arab List-Ta'al parties also boast a loyal Jewish support base, which they are hoping to expand in the upcoming elections.

Their ancestors helped the Nazis send their fellow Jews to the camps in the hope of saving some, or don't you read history?

Churchill's statement defines the Oven Jew: "An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile - hoping it will eat him last." The liberal Jews in Israel today is in that category.
