Jewish conservatives, while considered a bit of an oddity despite growing numbers, are commonly asked Why are so many Jews liberals?
(Excerpt) Read more at americanthinker.com ...
*Jewish conservatives readily acknowledge that, like Black Americans, most of us tend to be liberal if not downright progressive and, regrettably, sometimes Marxist.* 75% vs. 90% vote leftist-What's the difference?
The whole article is stupid.
I hope it’s the The Death of Democrat Jewish Stupidity, but don’t count on it.
Without their Messiah, Jesus Christ, the Jews have always been confused about who their friends are.
Soon they will find out who their true Friend is.

I hope they do and turn to Jesus Christ before it’s too late.
For the most part, the early Jewish immigrants to this county ( and some were pre-Revalutioary War ) were not Dem voters, though some in the South were.
The later influx from Russia, Poland, and some German brought their Liberal/Marxist/Socialist/Commie ideas with them and handed it down to their progeny...in spades.
And later, as more and more Jews stopped being religious, in ANY way, these descendants became even MORE firmly rooted in their extreme left convictions.
It took the Irish Catholic immigrants and their progeny ( who all came much earlier than the Jews ) well into the 20th century for many to become GOP voter and then, again, not all.
And the same is true for the Italians, who came a bit later than the Middle European Jews, who were GOPers from the 1880s.
OTOH...Messianic Jews, the Orthodox, and the Hassidim have always been GOP voters.
This is a far more complex topic than all of you appear to realize.
And who votes for which party, re this discussion, also heavily depends on WHERE people lived/live.
This isn’t the first time Israel has been in a pickle and the radical left Jews abandoned her.
And it won’t be the last.
Ugh. If she were truly a Jewish conservative, she would know that Hitler was by no means “right wing” but was a socialist. His fascist successors are today’s “progressives”, not conservatives. Look who is cheering on Hamas’ slaughter of Jews. Plus she has obviously bought into the idea that Judaism is focused on “tikkun olam” (repairing the world), which is a concept grafted onto authentic Judaism by left-wing ideologues in the 1970s and 1980s and is now used to provide Jewish terminology for every far-left political position in existence.
She really misses the point. American Jewry votes left-wing because most American Jews have essentially adopted secular left-wing ideology in lieu of authentic Judaism and living a Torah-focused life. Note how politically conservative most Orthodox Jews are here in the US.
Really?
Donald Trump, elected in 2016, was the most Israel-friendly President in American history.
In 2020, 77% of Jewish Americans voted for the demented Joe Biden and the anti-Semitic Democratic Party.
Why would a jew do that?
thats not our religion
I’ve never understood the obsession with Christians and forcing their “savior” upon us.
If it works for you — great. Be my guest. I have no interest in him.
Constantly tying Jewish American citizen’s political leanings with foreign policy with regards to Israel is a mistake, and kind of an antisemitic trope.
They just do that because they feel the need to squirm away from their own history.
Just look how the socialist party of America is melting down the statues of their own most famous figures, in the south.
True friend?..you mean the Christians in Eastern Europe who routinely massacred us, and forced us into ghettos? Or expelled us and burned at the stake? Those friends?
October 7 is going to have an impact for years, and in more ways than voting patterns.
A small example: I was in Los Angeles last week, and had the opportunity to take a half dozen colleagues, all ultra liberal Jews to the shooting range for the first time. No politics, just gun safety, basic marksmanship, and discussion about where to get more training.
They might still be Democrats, but its gonna be hard for them to stay that way if they follow through and become part of the great American gun culture.
Baby steps, but movement in the right direction.
The fight isn’t over the negligible Jewish vote, it’s over tilting Jewish political contributions to a more even split between Dem and GOP.
In the Russian Empire, such place were called THE PALE.

Because most American Jews I’ve known identify as Marxists, Socialists, Feminists, Environmentalists, and a whole litany of other -ists first, before they’re ever get down to being observant and believing Jews. Most I’ve known only trot out their Judaism when they want to offend or be offended by Christians. The rest of the time they’re practicing atheists.
From your lips to God’s ear. Our God can do anything!
