All of my Jewish friends voted for Obama, and to be honest I don’t see any buyer’s remorse at all. I keep hearing this talk that many American Jews simply do not care about Israel. Perhaps they are right.
By the way Mount Athos, I like your screen name!
This is exactly my experience. I really don't think mainstream, secular, self-identified Jewish Americans care all that much about Israel. They appear more Marxist to me than anything else. Their support for Obama then is natural.
They are Jewish only from the standpoint of their ethnic heritage. Otherwise their real god & religion is left-wing socialist-fascism-communist ideology. I have always said that left-wing ideology trumps everything else for liberals & socialists. It trumps religion (ie. Catholics & so called evangelicals voting for pro-abortion demoRATs & 0boooooomba), it trumps ethnic heritage (Jews voting for demoRATs & 0booooomba who are always pro-palestinian & against Israel), it trumps family & blood ties. Left-wing ideology is the religion for liberals & socialists and they will always vote their ideology over anything else. As Michael Savage penned his book, Liberalism is a Mental Disorder.
Well, perhaps you'd like to meet some Jewish FRiends here who didn't. There are more than you might think.
