I don’t get it, either. I went to school with lots of Jewish students, mostly Orthodox and Conservative. One of my good friends went to Israel to yeshiva after high school. I wish I knew what happened to him, but his name (Howard Siegel) is so common that all Google turns up is scientific journals :-).
However, Alouette said on another thread that her 85-year-old mother planned to vote for Obama to keep abortion on demand legal, so this is obviously a key issue for some Jews ... more important than the survival of Israel or the Jewish people. I don’t get it.
To be fair, I don’t get Catholics who support abortion or socialism above the survival of our country and our religious liberty, either. It’s a perversion of Catholicism.

I agree completely.
And that goes for a lot of “evangelicals” as well!
