The real enigma is why liberal Jews find it an anathema to support their progressive values and Israel at the same time. Why must liberal values and support for Israel be mutually exclusive? American Jews did not have Israel at the top of their list of priorities when determining for whom to vote in this last election, but now that Obama is in office, I question their silent response to his clearly antagonistic approach to Israel. (A Pew Research Center poll conducted in January of this year indicated that almost twice as many conservatives as liberals sympathize with Israel in the Middle East conflict.)
One of the issues with which American Jews are concerned is racism. In particular, many Jews appeared to fall for the racism card prior to the election and continue to support the accusation by various Democrats and the biggest racist and anti-Semite of them all, Jimmy Carter. Those that do not blindly support Obama are racist. And yet with anti-Semitism on the rise and support for Israel decreasing the world over, it is unfathomable that Jews in this country remain silent.
Their guy is in office and just as he owes the unions, George Soros, and all of the other left-wing constituencies that voted for him, Obama owes American Jews more than just a meeting with the anti-Israel group J Street and a conference call with a carefully screened group of rabbis in which he presses them to plug his plans for socialized medicine in their Rosh Hashana sermons....

They’re complicit in it.
Socialist Jews in America will begin to feel the wrath of the fascists soon enough just like their forefathers did in NAZI Germany.
Springtime for Hitler in HymieTown.
How can any Jewish person be against a Jewish Homeland? God promised Abraham the land of Israel and the Temple Mount.
Selfish liberal value trumps religion?
Don't look for much from Jewish Liberals. A more self interested ego-centric group does not exist in America.Their idea of public service is to shout "Mazel Tov" a couple of times a year and then scurry back to their little hidey holes where they pretend they are not Jews.
As such they cannot be counted on for anything, except to have fingers up each others butts trying to decide which way the wind is blowing.
Sadly, they seem to have a genetic predisposition to being subservient and the footstools of the world. Except that they are a hell of a group of nationalists and fighters but only in their own land.
Half my family are liberal Jews.
Read the history of the Russian Bolshevik revolution. Numerous characters in this sad tale were Jews (as was Karl Marx). The collective mentality is so strong among some Jews that is overwhelms any concept of religion or a “motherland.” In fact, many liberal Jews abandon religion altogether (although they retain the affiliation as Jews).
So, many of my Jewish relatives couldn’t care less about Israel AND actually side with Palestinians. Makes my blood boil at family gatherings.
It is amazing how gutless they are.
Question: Are liberal Jews really Jewish?
Just asking.
He is their "messiah." Liberal catholics are also complicit along with African Americans he regularly punks and rips off like he did in Chicago with his slumlord pals.
Of course they are statists first. That is why:
1. liberal Jews accept selling out Israel
2. liberal women accepted a woman abuserin the White House without batting an eye and now side with religions nuts who abuse women.
3. liberal African-Americans accept an ex-Klans man as a key Dim in the Senate and policy after policy that wrecks their community and their families.
I will admit the Jews of any of the groups who historically supported the Dim should recognize the history of how bad states can run off the rails and destroy even those who help build it.
My gues is that many are JINO’s.
gues = guess
They are too busy protesting "Breakfast With Santa" school fundraisers, and "holiday" trees in airports.
I read it. Prager can’t figure it out either. ;-)
