#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.
1) I think it is nuts that Jews would want a strong government to protect them when every strong government since the beginning of time has persecuted Jews.
2) Those Eastern European countries that were socialist were anti-Semitic. I am not going to go through the list of Warsaw Pact countries, but they all had records of official state sponsored Antisemitism.
That one doesn't make really sense, when you consider that all the Christian immigrants that come from the former Soviet bloc countries in eastern europe have the opposite reaction and staunchly defense the free market system. I don't meet any polish Catholics who talk about how great things were back when the country was under communism. Ditto with Lithuinaians, Slovaks, Croatians, etc., etc. A few of them are Democrats but most of the immigrants have an aversion to socialism.
