Oh Noz.... she supports Israel?

Now...If we could get Israel to support her...

Why to the jewish people reject conservatives?
A curious question

[Mr. Mojo]

If we could get Israel to support her...Why to the jewish people reject conservatives?

There are plenty of conservatives (Likud party members) in Israel, and they're well aware that the GOP is a far greater friend than are the Donkeys. McCain/Palin have their support.

As far as American Jews are concerned, there are indications that this GOP ticket will get a higher percentage of their vote than any GOP ticket since Reagan/Bush in '80. ....as high as 40%.

You would be surprised how much of the financial support for McCain-Palin and the GOP in general comes from wealthy Jews.

Hopefully, this announcement will open up the floodgates.

Why to the jewish people reject conservatives?

My general inexpert observance of the reasons:
1. Multi-generational devotion to "The Party of FDR".
It's a long, strong tie. Radio show host Dennis Prager (and
conservative Jew) occassionally has callers tell him of their
emotional struggle to break with family tradition and cast that
first vote for a Republican.
But, like Ronald Reagan, some are realizing (like Sen. Lieberman)
that the Democratic Party has left them.

2. And there's a challenge to think that a mostly-Christian bunch
of law-and-order republicans could be the most resolute friends for
Israel and the Jewish demographic.
I do admit that I can, to some degree, understand the apprehension
seeing the misery a very advanced "Christian" country visited
on the Jews of Europe (and some future immigrants to the USA
if they were lucky enough to survive).

The fear of what Christians (faux, nominal or real) did to their
previous generations probably does weigh on the collective mind
of the Jewish demographic here in the USA.

I have often wondered the same thing.

They are starting to to have a change of heart. That is where we get the term neo-con. It is the lefts way of saying “dirty Jew.” That is the take from my Jewish relatives, anyway.

“oh noz?” what does that mean, oh no? Is there some reason she should NOT support Israel, the only true friend of America in the middle east? And for the record, let me educate you—there are plenty of conservative Jews and our numbers are growing. I am proud to be one of them!

"Why to the jewish people reject conservatives?

" This question has baffled me for some time. First, I find it incomprehensible that Jews overwhelmingly vote for the party and candidates endorsed by the jihadists, sworn to kill us all, Jews first and with special vigor. Second, can't have it both ways. Christian fundamentals command us to embrace Israel "those who bless Israel shall be blessed and those who condemn her shall be condemned" (paraphrasing). This makes American Religious Conservatives the best friend the Jews and Israel have ever had. Contrast this with the international left, who spew venom towar Israel and the Jews..... Well, as I said, it's baffling.
