The liberal Jews will not leave the Dem party even if Obama himself files over Israel and personally drops a hundred hydrogen bombs over the entire country. Their religion is being liberal. The Jewish thing is just a hodgepodge of ethnic customs, not that different from being Italian or being Chinese.

For about half of the non-religious and liberal Reformed Jews, you're probably right. But for a lot (my guess is half) of Reformed Jews, Israel is something more. And for ALL the politically liberal Orthodox and Reformed Jews (though there are a lot less of them), Israel is much, much more than just a place on a map.

This could be a defining moment among Jewish Democrat voters, much life Ronald Reagan was for Democrat Catholics. Look at how the Catholic vote has split since Reagan. It's no longer a monolith. And judging by my Jewish Romney supporting neighbors, neither is the Jewish vote.

Hello, I live in NYC, and your guess is wrong. The liberal so-called Jews hate Israel.
