It seems to me there are a lot of Jews in the Obama government, mixed up in Acorn, etc. I think most are anti-American not antisemitic.

I still do not understand why they chose to abandon Israel?

I don't either. I was being sarcastic of course, but it does seem like many, perhaps most American Jews are secular or leftist - and they don't give a rats ass about Israel or being Jewish unless there's a direct and tangible benefit. I know many Jews who are not religious at all, but suddenly find the faith to leave work on a Jewish holiday, or support policies that directly and negatively affect Israel only to become devoutly Jewish again if there's some allegation of antisemitism against someone who isn't Jewish. It's not unique for people to ‘find religion’ when it suits them or to bristle when someone who isn't one of their community takes a shot, plenty of gentiles do it too, but was is unique I think is that Jews do it in light of such a unique cultural identity - the bond they have because of their shared history of oppression and tiny global population. Their ‘antisemitism’ as I've sarcastically called it, in light of that fact, is remarkable to me. It just goes to show the power of liberalism I guess.
