I am good friends with an orthodox rabbi who gets so enraged over this issue it's all he can do not to scream.

He said that the simple reason why Jews vote for democrats is so they can tell their friends at the museum that they are cultured and progressive because they vote for democrats.

He said they are so blind they won't realize what they've done to themselves until the knife is halfway through their necks.

To be honest, I can't think of any better explanation for why Jews will vote against their own interests like they do. It's simply bizarre.

Well put, but Jews aren't the only psychiatric case studies. How about blacks? They overwhelmingly vote Democrat despite the fact that the Democrats' welfare state all but eradicated the urban black family unit and bred at least two generations of a helpless "victim" class that is hopelessly addicted to government handouts.

Come to think of it, probably the biggest morons of them all are the (admittedly few) taxpaying, traditional American families who vote Democrat. That's another puzzle that cannot be explained by mere stupidity.

Agreed. Far too many Jews have been uncomfortable with a strong Israel for decades, and seem to draw both their meaning in life, AND their sense of self, through victimhood. It seems that they're only sure of who they are while they see themselves as helpless. It's almost like a little kid shouting "you'll miss me when I'm gone!"

“He said that the simple reason why Jews vote for democrats is so they can tell their friends at the museum that they are cultured and progressive because they vote for democrats.”

How very disturbing. Adolph Hitler was “cultured” (he loved fine art, architecture, Wagner, the best wines), and “progressive”......VERY progressive..........

As a previous poster said, this is an American Jewish phenom, apparently. Our Jewish friends around the world, and certainly in Israel, have not forgotten, and know danger when they see it.

“...that they are cultured and progressive because they vote for democrats.”

And also, how sad that they evidently judge republicans as rude, crude residents of Jurassic Park. Actually, it’s gauling.

So does your rabbi friend, as a learned and (hopefully) respected man, keep trying and with any success at all, to educate them?
