It's (sadly) true that many Jews new to the GOP are here for reasons pertaining to Israel. (For this Jew, however, it's about taxes, guns, national defense, property, and cultural concerns. .....Israel is way down the list). But perhaps after a while they'll begin to appreciate the full-spectrum of conservatism. .....and least one can hope.

If Israel brings them here...fine with me. Better than where they are now....and I do understand tribal identity...it's sort of natural .

And you are right.....it's about those other things....guns, can't escape that can we? Without them, we can forget all the rest.

Molon Labe baby!

I think a lot of the Jews who come to the GOP in support of Israel will stay for the economics. Social issues may be another matter.... Mind you, given the second part of my FreepName, that's not exactly something that bothers me. I just want to see mainstream Jewry get over their reflexive fear of conservative Christians and settle for friendly disagreement.
