President Bush started out as a solid friend of Israel. In the last year or so, both he and Condi Rice seem to have caught Jimmy Carter syndrome - where, to inflate their legacy, they are trying to develop yet-another faux Peace Plan for the Middle East. What the columnist was doing was pointing out the ridiculous humiliations Bush made the the Israelis endure (entering via the service entrance, no contact by the Saudis et al with the Israelis, no dialog, etc., etc.) with absolutely no concessions on the part of the Saudis and their friends. To anyone with half a brain, it was a huge, pointless joke!
I agree that the majority of American Jews (and not just in New England) are quite willing to actively support the Democrats as they work with Arabs and Palestinians to destroy Israel and the Jews there. There appears to be a bone deep animosity toward conservatives and Republicans in large segments of the American Jewish community. Personal contact leads me to suspect it is Jewish self-hatred, possibly, survivor-guilt passed from one generation to the next.
Most of those who vote Democrat are not real Jews at all. They are not observant of any Old Testament laws. They attend synagogue once a year, if at all. they do not observe the sabbath. They are "JINOs". When you go to a "Reform" Jewish temple, you hear more Marx than Moses in the sermons of the "rabbi". They are not real Jews at all. They are the Democrat "Jewish" base. They might as well be Martians...they are about as "Jewish".
In contrast, 69% of "Orthodox" (religious) Jews voted for George W. Bush in 2004, according to the Republican Jewish Coalition. Hopefully, once all the left-wing escapee JINOs in Florida die off, their commie kids abort, turn gay or intermarry, we can finally be done with those who have disgraced the proud memory and history of Jews by their love affair with Socialism. Good riddance to them all. Meanwhile, religious Jews are very conservative and are having 6.5 kids per family. The future is bright for Jews in America.
Unfortunately, the future is not bright for Jews in Israel, where traitors control every arm of government.
