Jewish conservatives, while considered a bit of an oddity despite growing numbers, are commonly asked Why are so many Jews liberals?

From your lips to God’s ear. Our God can do anything!
Why do you think we jews are so good at wholesale? We don’t go through a middle man;’)
They seem to be trying to find a way to get along with their tormentors.
Maybe its: keep your friends close, and your enemies closer.
Ya that's a sticky wicket ...
Historically Christians have not been friends with Jews.
Jews have been evicted from something like 150 countries over the years.
That's the main reason for a Jewish homeland.
And to say that Jews and Christians share a common faith is really the same as saying the mooslimps and Christians share a common faith or the mooslimps and the Jews share a common faith.
Christians believe Jesus is the fulfillment of the promise made to Abraham.
Jews don't ... they look for an other.
mooslimps are just bat $#!t crazy.
I say if a man is comfortable with his beliefs .. so be it.
If someone is wondering about life .. what it means etc... then I'm glad to give him the gospel of Jesus.. to take or reject.
I think the attitude that some how all the Jews will suddenly decide they have been wrong all these years is a bit out in the zone.... and kind of insulting.
But ... as I say that ... let me be clear .. the barbaric attack on peaceful people by a bunch of mad dogs needs to be put down with the thunder that only God can call down.
So I pray he does.
I'm sure the Jews are praying that also.
Civilized people share common traits and goals ... even if our faith is not the same.
The Bible tells us what will happen to Israel - the Jews - to whom God is betrothed but from whom Israel has departed.
In Daniel Chapter 9, the 70 weeks tells us that at the end of the 69th week (Messiah, Jesus, is “cut off” (killed)) (vs. 26). The 70th week then describes what happens during the 7-year tribulation (vs. 27). There’s a 2000 year gap between vs. 26 (Jesus’ crucifiction) and vs. 27 (the tribulation) which is the time of the church and Israel is not part of God’s timetable.
In Daniel Chapter 11, a “vile person” “stands up” (vs. 23). We know this is the false Christ and the “beast” described in Revelation during the 7-year tribulation (this is after the church has been taken to heaven). But also during the 7-year tribulation “the people that do know their God will be strong and do exploits” (vs. 32). This is the glorious time during the tribulation when God fulfills Romans 11:26 that “all Israel will be saved” (Rev. Chapter 7).
In Daniel Chapter 9:1, he warns that this time, the tribulation, will be “a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time.” But then he says that during this very time of trouble, “at that time [God’s] people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.” (Israel is saved but then most will be killed.)
The Book of Matthew is mostly about the Jews written mainly to the Jews (but we Gentiles can learn a lot from it, of course) In Matthew, Jesus’ parables are almost all about the fate of the Jews (vs. the saved Gentiles - the church). Chapter 24 is spoken directly to the Jews (Jesus disciples) about the end (the tribulation) which is soon coming. So Matthew 42 is spoken to the Jews about the Jews. That is very helpful in reading this portion of scripture.
In Matthew 25 is the parable of the ten virgins, another parable about the fate of the Jews. But here he describes them a “ten virgins” (usually “virgins” means the church whereas Israel is usually described as already married to God). Here Jesus is talking about the first part of his second coming where he comes as a thief in the night - the great catching up of the church (1 Thess. 4:17) - stealing his own away from the earth which is about to be plunged into horror never before seen.
Five virgins are “wise” and are taken up with the church to Heaven because they have Jesus (today’s Jewish Christians in the church). Sadly, five are “foolish”, do not have Jesus Christ, and are left behind. However, we know from other scripture that even though the tribulation begins, soon after, they (Israel) will be saved (Dan. 9:1; Rev. Chapter 7) but will then be killed by the bloody Islamic Jihadists who have quickly taken over the world after the church is gone.
Long (partial) answer to your short and quizzical reply. Lots of stuff to study and research on you own. Good luck.
Let’s cut the crap.
Was South Viet Nam worth fighting for? It was corrupt. Iraq hates us. Afghans think of us like they did the Soviets. Qatar is a winner. Give us bases and money to Hamas.
Israel gets all the aid it wants. Just look at all the POTUS candidates that go there BEFORE declaring a run. A minuscule percentage of the voters decide 100% of US economic and foreign policy.
I say arms length to everyone.
Your last sentence says it all.
Where they choose to live has something to do with it, in my opinion. Is there any other group that lives in urban areas at the same % as Jews? Do they vote any differently? I once tried to find if there was a difference between Jews voting in rural vs urban areas. I couldn’t find any exit polling that included religion and also broke it down by rural vs urban. I think rural living Jews are a fairly small % in any case.
Freegards
Such liberals aren’t “innocent.”
They are stupid and evil, combined.
After 9/11, most people in the US seemed Republican — putting flags on their car, etc. A few years later they elected Hussein. People forget.
Swing and miss, Fuzz.
You and your Hard Left propagandist friends have been pretending that Israel-hatred is not the same thing as Jew-hatred for the last 75 years.
The Democratic Party USA embraces a huge majority of the three most anti-Semitic groups in North America - American Blacks, Mexican immigrants, and Muslim immigrants.
The Republican Party USA, in sharp contrast, is the largest and most diverse pro-Israel political party in the world.
My previous comment was directed at delusional Conservatives who - for the last 50 years - have been predicting that neo-Marxist Jewish Americans, Black Americans, and Hispanic and Asian Americans are going to start voting Republican - any day now!
Sometimes you can’t fix stupid. Apparently there are Jews in Israel protesting the action in the Gaza strip.
Only when a gun is pointed to their head and they are seconds away from death, will they admit that they were wrong. Maybe even then, not.
The Bible does offer comfort by its predictions. No matter how much you try to convince people of the truth, they will not listen.
*Apparently there are Jews in Israel protesting the action in the Gaza strip.*
I like the LGBT folk in this country standing up for them. Send them over there.
Then there’s the USS Liberty. Our government has the answer-we don’t.
I’ve just never understood the apparently widespread and historical antipathy toward Jews in general.
And I don’t mean the stupidity of so many of them voting so often for their existential tormentors, etc.
Leaving aside the whole Christianity vs Judaism pissing contest, I just don’t get it.
If only such mistrust and hatred were directed against the true evil of islam, this world could be a much saner place.
/rhetorical musings . . .
I think Isaiah 66:1-5 is about an unsaved Israel kicking out saved Jews like they did with Paul and the Jews that were saved in the early church.
Romans 11:26 and Revelation Chapter 7 show that all Israel will be saved during the first part of the tribulation so I don’t see this division during that time which is shortly to come.
Sounds like a personal problem
