It has always baffled me. There are certainly plenty of Jewish conservatives (We have many on FR) but the large proportion of them that are extremely liberal and vote the party line really throw me for a loop.
What is it about Jewish leftists that makes them embrace people who would rather see them dead?
I simply do not understand it, and never have. And in the case of this President, who is steeped in Black Liberation Theology, and chummy with the likes of Farrakhan and Jeremiah Wright, it is downright perplexing.
I don’t get it either. I read Podhoretz’s book, “Why Are Jews Liberal?”-—no answers. My wife took a course on Judaism from a rabbi. No answers. They have this built-in rebellion against Gid and truth that has just constantly led them to slavery, oppression, or worse.
