Most libs think is a funny way to make a point and engage in some always fun Israel bashing. So would someone explain why Jews vote for dims?

I asked a jewish person why so many vote for the left. He couldn’t explain it.

I mentioned that Soros helped the Nazi’s by turning in fellow jews during WWII. The response to that was that lots of people had to do things to survive.

If I had to guess I’d say it’s a combination of 1) The Jews of European descent don’t really identify with Israel 2) Even Jews that do identify with Israel see the Democrats as being pro-Israel enough and 3) Jews tend to be more socially liberal, even though conservative economic policies favor the wealthy, and thus benefit many Jews.

And the reason Jews tend to be socially liberal is the historic emphasis social conservatives have put on Christian values, causing Jews to feel excluded or to wonder where they would fit into the conservative vision of America. I do believe conservatives are improving in this regard, with references to our country’s Judeo-Christian heritage instead of stating our heritage as exclusively Christian, and we are being rewarded with a small increase in percentage of Jewish votes won. It’s still not enough to prevent another Democratic victory. Even if all Jews voted Republican they’re too small a percentage of the population to swing the polls. The main advantage to winning the Jewish vote would be an increase in funding for our side.

Just my 0.02.

They're the Lost Sheep of Israel. Don't forget, they're the same ones that killed the prophets and chose the Romans who hated the Jews over their own Messiah, Jesus Christ who loved them so much He died for them.

"They cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him. Pilate said to them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar." John 19:15.

The Jews don't know who their friends are and they don't know who their Friend is. But they will soon.
