I will never understand the Jewish love affair with the state and state power.
The state has never been a friend of the Jews.
The United States is the only state in the history of the world where Jews haven’t been persecuted.
And the irony is that most Jews live conservative lives and are not dependent on the state for their existence.
And nowhere in the Torah does it say that Jews should outsource their religious duties-charity and compassion for others— to the government.
And on top everything else, the far left(allied with the Democratic Party) in this country equates Zionism with neo-imperialism and evil.
“And on top everything else, the far left(allied with the Democratic Party) in this country equates Zionism with neo-imperialism and evil.”
It was once the other way around. Truman and Robert Kennedy versus H W Bush and Baker. Some Jews vote democrat because they remember the old pro-Israel New Republic Democrat and others vote Democrat because they really don’t like Israel.
There are other Jews who think that most Republicans are like Akin and want to force their kids to celebrate Christmas in public school.
#21: I think there are 2 reasons. First, after Hitler, they want a very strong government that will ensure Jews are protected (kinda upside-down thinking—the bigger the government, the harder to persecute one group of people). Second, many of the Jews who came to the US originated in Eastern bloc nations where socialism prevailed. I believe it’s in their blood to be socialists. For whatever my opinion is worth.
