Yaelle.....I am not impressed with the level of patriotism or rationality let alone common sense that American Jews have.....I don't know how much help they deserve...

tell me , why would a predominantly Christian nation bend over backwards, and make enemies of a good portion of the world by supporting Israel and then have American Jews act like hatchet men for the Demonrat party....

American Jews have a death wish by supporting appeasement with fanatics, by supporting Demonrats and by taking every opportunity to slam American Christians by eliminating any and all symbols of Christianity in this country.....

they talk about the Holocaust almost with reverance, yet they can't see the coming Holocaust...

maybe they just refuse to look into the future.....

I don't think your post was meant for me or toward anything I believe or stand for, so I will not become offended.

I not only know well and am saddened by many of the opinions of my fellow American Jews, but I am surrounded by such opinions even in my own family. I truly believe, as do most Jewish FReepers, that liberal Jews are completely misguided and actually are straying from the spirit of the Torah.

Jewish people got mixed up in the liberal causes of the 60s (dramatic oversimplification for purposes of semi-brevity) and they unfortunately have a strong herd mentality. Unfortunately, one commandment of Judaism is to gently scold or shame people from wrongdoing, and that became a habit or personality strength of many Jews -- it gets used against Jews who stray from liberalism by the liberal Jewish "elite." Many of these Jews are "cultural" Jews and do not attempt to practice the religion, but will ostracize conservatives as though their hands were powdered with anthrax.

We Jews who try to do our best to act as G-d would want WHOLLY appreciate what Christians have done for Israel and for our lives and freedoms in America. Believe me.

I only wish that our voices were louder than the others. They are slow to come around but they are coming around. There are more and more groups of conservative or Republican Jews, and the more people break off from the foolishness of the bloc mentality, the more courage it gives to others.

It is hard to be "out of the closet" as a conservative Jew, but it is getting a lot easier! Conservative principles really do follow the Bible more than liberal ones do.
