And yet the Jews continue to vote Democrat.

"Never Again"

"Never Again" what is what I want to know...
Why vote Democrat and sign your own death warrant for the lefties to take you away?

[BenLurkin]

So, the lefties are anti-Semites.

No surprise really.


In fact explains a lot.

It may be like what I experienced the first time I went to a service at a Unitarian Universalist church.  One look around and I knew I was out of my gene pool.  Your question should probably be, "Why don't liberals look like me?"

It's an honor to have you reply to my post. Thanks for all you do. You're a great American.

Communists for Kerry is actually a pretty funny site.

Here's a statue they're waiting to erect in Times Square.

I've dedicated my Blog to just that subject. Most older Jews have been democrats for many years. They have not yet accepted the fact that we are in an era of left wing appeasers. Here is an article from Jewish Perspective Blog:

I'm going do my best to try to answer that question for you. Jews as a group are traditionally liberal Democrats. Religious rights and separation of church and state have traditionally been very important to them. In the 60's 70's and even the 80's liberals in this country were very supportive of Israel. Over the past 15 or so years that trend has changed. The left in America has become increasingly anti-Israel. This is due to a multitude of factors including the perception that Israel is the big bully pushing around the Palestinians. Another reason for it is because liberals by nature are appeasers. In the post 9/11 environment many liberals have come to the conclusion that if America stopped supporting Israel the terrorists wouldn't be "so angry" at us anymore and they might "leave us alone". Of course history has taught us that appeasing evil only makes it stronger.
Getting back to the point the process of the Jewish population waking up to discover that as liberals they are literally sleeping with the enemy has been slow. Many Jews were suspicious of Bush in 2000 due to the perceived lack of friendship his father showed to Israel during the first Gulf War. In 2000 GWB received just 17% of the Jewish vote.
George Bush has gone a long way since 2000 in gaining the trust of the Jews. He has been a supporter of Israel and has been the first president to publicly acknowledge that the issue of right of return for the Palestinian refugees is a non starter. Current Polls are showing that Bush has made huge gains within the Jewish community. Currently it is estimated that he will draw between 35%-40% of the Jewish vote. Many Jews now understand that if support of Israel is their primary concern, aligning themselves with Kerry and his Internationalist platform is a grave error. In the end I believe that the Jewish population simply has been slow to adjust their political alliances with the times.
It is also important to note that there is a very large divide between secular and non secular Jews. The majority of Orthodox and Conservative Jews are very much Pro-Bush. The majority of interfaith and secular or Reformed Jews are very much Democrats and Pro-Kerry. This has a lot to do with a difference in priorities between the two groups. While many religious Jews consistently place the primary emphasis on support for Israel, many secular Jews place more emphasis on other domestic areas such as abortion rights and civil right agendas. To them Judaism and the State of Israel are simply not as important.

I've noticed that the left in America is increasingly anti-Israel and am so glad to realize that our Jewish population is waking up to the fact that the left is not their friend.

They need no further proof than Clinton having Arafat as the most frequent visitor to the White House during his 8 years in office.

Thanks for the explanation and optimistic viewpoint!
