Jews in Name Only
Town Hall ^ | 5/25/2011 | Ben Shapiro

May 25, 2011 Jews in Name Only By Ben Shapiro 5/25/2011

In 2008, Obama grabbed 78 percent of the Jewish vote. Even the most wildly optimistic polling today shows that Obama's support remains high among Jews. It's a result that Republicans simply can't understand -- why do so many Jews continue to support a president who has shown time and again that he stands against the State of Israel? Why the reflexive lever-pulling on behalf of a man who appoints anti-Semites to positions of high power, attends a virulently anti-Semitic church for 20 years, and sees Israel as the cause of the West's conflict with the Muslim world?

The answer is deceptively simple: the Jews who vote for Obama are, by and large, Jews In Name Only (JINOs). They eat bagels and lox; they watch "Schindler's List"; they visit temple on Yom Kippur -- sometimes. But they do not care about Israel. Or if they do, they care about it less than abortion, gay marriage and global warming.

Yes. It’s what happened to the Irish. They arrived as Catholics, then converted to the Democrat religion.

Yes.

Sometimes it seems like the Christians love Israel more than the jews do.

Correction: Christians are more likely to love (actually worship as almost God-like) Bibi than most American Jews. Believe it or not, not everyone thinks that loving Israel and loving Bibi are the same thing!

At last....someone tells the obvious simple truth that has befuddled so many Republicans.

Correction: Christians including me have been supportive of Israel long before Bibi Netanyahu was in charge. Americans in general are historically very supportive of Israel and their right to exist. Maybe Netanyahu got 39 standing ovations from our Congress because we all wish we had a leader as immpressive as he is instead of a criminal, closet Muslim Marxist. Maybe we wish we were as free as Iraelis are.

Revolution in Russia...Joseph Stalin, Lenin, Pelosi...all jews...all communist...Jesus had a whole lot to say against the jews in the gospels...so no surprise they’d continue to vote for a fellow communist...

American Jews cannot help themselves but to vote for a democrat.

They are a compulsive lot easily hypnotized. The basis of their hypnosis is an inate character flaw. A long time ago they were beaten into submission by their democrat bretheren and they are too small minded and weak to realize they have no will left. They want to be made to believe that they are a giving altruistic bunch but like the battered wife they always go back to the brutalizing husband ( democrat party).

If you ask an American Jew why he is voting for Obama they will give you canned amswers like:” I am not a bigot but you are. I am a giving person destined to help the little guy.”

It will never occur to the American Jew to say:” I am a weakling who needs to be told what to do and I resent success of others and want to line my pockets by getting the government to steal as much from others.” That would be the honest answer. Instead they choose to be compulsive and out of control like Obama.

The reality of psychopolitics is that once you brainwash someone into conpulsive behavior it is very, very hard to reverse the process unless you have complete total destruction and a victor arises like in the holocaust.

People keep asking the same thing. They do not understand why blacks keep voting for democrats when they are in progressively worse shape or how Jews can vote for Obama when he wants to exterminate Israel.

The answer is that you cannot un hypnotize someone unless there is tremendous pain associated with it. The same people were hypnotized via their resentments which they are now addicted to. Politics is all about makng people resent at a fevered pitch. Resentment gives the human being a god complex. Once you have lodged that suggestion in a person you can lead them by the nose to do anything.

They will sink to grotesque degrading behavior just to maintain the god complex.

That is in essence why Jews will support their tyrants that will eventually give them another holocaust.

Likud worship and Bibi worship are the same thing. Israel, like any other welfare recipient, can never be called “free” as long it remains on the public teat of overburdened American taxpayers.

“That is in essence why Jews will support their tyrants that will eventually give them another holocaust.”

Sadly, the result of this is their continued Democrat vote will end very badly for every one of us when Obama is installed in his second term.

Yeah, like that wonderful group of Congressmen and women who are members of the group “Catholics for Abortion.” But they still are allowed communion. Catholics need an Archbishop who is willing to “thin the heard” of these miscreants who claim to be members in good standing.

Jews and the 2008 Election
Shmuel Rosner — February 2009

“A study published at the beginning of November by Steven M. Cohen of Hebrew Union College and Samuel J. Abrams of Harvard University entitled “The Diminished Place of Israel in the Political Thinking of Young Jews” burrows even more deeply into the phenomenon. “Among those 65 and over, 54 percent rate ‘high’ or ‘very high’ the Israel-Palestine conflict as a consideration in determining their vote for Obama or McCain,” Cohen and Abrams write. “This figure comes in contrast with far lower levels among younger non-Orthodox Jews: 39 percent among those 35 to 54 [years old], and just 29 percent among those under 35.”

Not only are Jews less concerned with Israel and its fate than they were in the past, but as the election came closer, they expressed far less concern about Obama’s stance toward Israel than they had during his primary contest with Hillary Clinton. According to a Gallup analysis in March 2008, she had the better of him with Jewish voters by a margin of 48 percent to 43 percent.”

That's hilarious!

A word of advice: you should really use "sarcasm" tags when you tell jokes like that.

Well fortunately we still live in a semi free society so we are all entitled to our opinions. I think what you witnessed on CSPAN yesterday pretty much sums up the attitude of most Americans including me.

I quit going to shul when the lay leader told me that she couldn’t defend any of Israel’s actions against the Palestinians. My daughter quit when the LL tried to teach that Israel was a communist nation. (as if that were a good thing)

It wasn’t just that the LL thought this way, it’s that the majority of the congregation agreed with her. And we had holocaust survivors in our shul!!

Sorry, but I can’t be a member of a group that thinks this way. My home is now my temple.

Do you have access to an Orthodox community?

Obama will not win re-election because the economy is decaying very badly.

People have trouble believing this but it is etched in stone. The good news about Obama is that he is jinxed and whatever he touches turns to failure. Hell! He can’t even toast the Queen of England without screwing that up something as easy as that.

By election time we are looking at 10% unemployment and inflation through the roof. Even his supporters who are on the dole will not be able to make ends meet and won’t be able to afford Obama’s largesse.

Know this well. He is toast.

They will all vote for Obama again.

Actually, last night my Step Mother told me that after what Obama said, that she would never vote for him again. Of course, she would never vote for a conservative or republican, but at least I know that she won't be voting in 2012.

Of course, she lives in NY, so that's sort of a moot-point.

I think that a big part of the younger Jewish demographic being disinterested in Israel is much the same reason for their hostility in many cases to the founders of this country... Due to the way that leftists have taken over the education system. From Kindergarten through college they're taught that the Founders were nothing but evil slave holders and oppressors of the kind and gentle Indians, and that Israel is a colonial monster oppressing the meek and gentle palis.

You are absolutely right. It is their Christian phobia, dating from the pogroms of Russia and eastern Europe, that turned them into Bolsheviks and neo Bolsheviks who fervently embrace every left wing cause and fear and loathe Christians. They would vote for Hitler if he ran as a Democrat.

YOu said it Georgi. I have always had a love for Isreal ever since I was a teenager. Maybe it is because I am a devout christian who believes the bible. And I know that the Jews are the beacon of freedom in the Middle east. And I know that having every other POS country surrounding you hate you is a travesty. I believe in Isreal and I would die for Isreal.
