I think most Jews are aware and sophisticated enough to know that there are a lot of blacks who don’t like them, and that Reverend Wright in particular doesn’t like them. I believe most Jews are sophisticated enough to know that a person who has the support of Lewis Farrakhan and Hezbollah is not likely to be the most reliable man in a crisis. Those Jews who do not appreciate these facts are probably not really Jews, but simply leftists.
I don't fault them for that but claiming they aren't really Jews is a cop out.
They may not practice Judaism but they hate Christianity with a vengeance. Were a Christian to be as openly disdainful towards Jews as some of them are to Christian believers, that Christian would be shunned and called an anti Semite.
Why on earth even non believing Jews would support a man cozy with Muslims who for the most part have a serious track record of supporting killing them pell mell simply for being Jews in favor of consistently supporting or even orchestrating an antagonistic campaign (David Axelrod, Obama's Rove)against anything remotely Christian conservative is one of life's great complications...especially from folks oft acknowledged (rightfully so) to be rather bright.
I really think that most people who identify themselves as Jews may historically be descended from Jewish ancestry, but do not practice the Jewish religion, and therefore are actually atheists. They identify as Jews because of the victim status attached to the Holocaust. This is not a complete analysis, but I’m thinking through it.
I’m pretty much of an atheist myself. But I am like Medved, I appreciate the values and morals of Christianity, and therefore support and promote Christianity. I’m mostly into Christmas holiday purchases and Easter celebrations. And I put coins in Salvation Army buckets. But I digress....
I’m a strong supporter of Israel. I believe in the right of Israel to exist, and to be a Jewish state, but I think that the liberal Israelis are probably also not religious Jews, and are therefore Atheists as well. This is why they tend towards appeasement, because they do not believe they are God’s number one, or that God wants them to have a Promised Land. That is all just unenlightened superstition. And that is why it doesn’t matter what Evangelicals think about Israel where liberal Jews are concerned.
