I have never been able to figure out why Jews are so liberal. We always talk about Judeo-Christian values- but that doesn’t seem to apply at the ballot box.
Or the abortion clinic.
Which is the primary reason they vote DemocRAT.
I wonder if there is a break down somewhere of how urban Jews vote as compared to those who live in rural areas. To my understanding the vast majority of Jews seem to live in cities, maybe that has something to do with it. Are there any other groups that mostly live in cites that vote any different from Jews? I don’t know, just throwing it out there. Are rural living Jews more likely to be conservative/observant?

An older Reform Jewish belief was that the USA, not anything in Palestine, was their new promised land.
Jews that are more serious (from liberal Orthodox rightward, and at one time also the Conservative movement which has now become looey) about their ancestral religion weighed in against this kind of nonsense from the start. However, these more serious Jews comprise a small minority (about 20%) of the people that call themselves Jews in the USA. So when Obama courts the “Jewish vote” he pretty much means these self-haters. When Obama puts his foot in his mouth and implies that Jews are especially mean, then even the self-haters stop for a moment, because that’s an insult to them. But they soon forget it.
Its because most take their belief in helping the poor as to meaning that they vote to forcibly make others paying for their marxism.
“I have never been able to figure out why Jews are so liberal. We always talk about Judeo-Christian values- but that doesn’t seem to apply at the ballot box.”
Many liberal Jews who live in the US have roots in Europe. Their great grandparents and grandparents were communists or part of the money changing elite. My grandfather was a communist and when he came to the states, he was taken off the boat, brought to the lower east side, got a bowl of soup and a job.
And he became a Democrat. His son, my father grew up in Brooklyn and was also a staunch democrat and an orthodox Jew. My father served in Korea, came home, got a job, married my mom and here I be.
In the 80’s something clicked. My fathers taxes went down, his income went up and he swore he would never again vote democrat.
When you start in a wealthy family, all that gets bypassed. those people stayed democrat and moved even further left when the party went that way. High taxes didn’t bother them and more importantly, their desire to help those more needy then them, brought out nanny.
Karl Marx was a self-loathing Jew. It is nothing new for many Jewish people to refuse to recognize reality.....to refuse to recognize God. Many refused to admit what was happening to them in Germany.....as they were being loaded onto the trains.
Maybe it is extreme hope or a disregard for the sheer evil of mankind. Can’t figure out their lack of common sense and disregard for the facts of history and the results of certain ideologies. They of all people should know the results of socialism and Marxism. Sheer evil and ALWAYS leads to no freedom—totalitarianism and fascism.
We must be careful not to stigmatize all Jews because of a bunch of American libtard Jews. Jews have been victims of pogroms, murders, genocides, discrimination, etc by so-called “christians” throughout the ages. They tend to side with democrats because of their perceived long-standing civil rights records. Many republicans (as well as democrats)have been guilty of antisemitism. They are a gifted, talented people that make up a disproportionate number of diplomats, scientists, lawyers, actors, advisers,bankers, financiers, etc. Someday they will realize that there only true friends are evangelical Christians of a dispensational persuasion. As a member of the Baptist persuasion I am commanded to “pray for the peace of Jerusalem and to remember that “I will bless them that bless you and curse them that curse you” Shalom to my Jewish friends and please stand behind Bibi as he confronts the U.S. President.
