I think Jews have been collectivists historically. It's the safety in numbers mindset. Centuries of persecution have produced a subliminal fear of the cultures they inhabit. The Democrats under Roosevelt bought the Soviet propaganda regarding mistreatment of blacks in America. (Not that it wasn't prevalent, but the communists wanted to disrupt the political landscape by pitting blacks against capitalism). Jews identified with persecuted blacks and lined up behind FDR and his party.

The fact that Jews embrace govt. control over all when govt control over all almost EXTINGUISHED them, is un-answerable to me. A lot of it now is suspicion of being on the same side as Christians because at least my family thinks that Christians are all out to convert them.
