That’s interesting. Did they think republicans wouldn’t be about civil rights and support of Israel?
As for civil rights and the Civil Rights Act of 1965 the bill was passed without the support of any Southern Republicans and just a few Southern Democrats.
As for Israel, they supported the Camp David Accords and like Bush, McCain and Obama support a two-state solution.
Without the two-state solution the long term survival of Israel is threatened. With the two-state solution Israel will continue to exist as the sole purpose of being the Homeland for Israelis and the Jewish People.
