Just today I was thinking about the overwhelming support of American Jewish voters for the Democrats and wondering about the reason. I came to the same conclusion you did. I'd be curious to hear from anyone with a different opinion.
Exactly right. And this is the real tragedy here.
"I would guess that most American Jews are secular Jews and don't give a damn what happens to Israel."
Having just argued with my kinsman regarding whether Exodus was a "fairy tale generated by escaped Jews living in caves near Egypt" I tend to agree with you.
Nah, most of the whiners (see Woody Allen) are nothing more than self-loathing dumb-fukks. They have listened to the lies of pre-eminent thinkers like Stalin, Hitler and Arafat for so long that they actually BELIEVE that the Jewish people are responsible for all the ills of the 20th century. In an attempt to "cleanse" themselves of their monstrous and largely unfounded guilt, they vote for any and all politicians who promise to take your money and give it to those that THEY deem to be more worthy than you.
I am not Jewish and therefore have no particular insight into what motivates the Jewish people but your statement resonates as true to me. Whatever the reason, it's obvious that the American Jews and Israeli Jews are two different breeds of cat. One group I deeply respect, the other I just keep wondering about; despite their obvious high levels of intelligence and education, they just don't seem to get it.
