That's a bit of an overstatement. I was born and raised in a large leftist Jewish neighborhood, and personally know many them who give money to Israel. But way too many of them are deluded in thinking that a 2-state solution will solve the longstanding conflict.

What's interesting is that liberal American Jews' support for Israeli military action depends on which party the PM at the time belongs to. If it's Labor, then the support is virtually unanimous. If it's Likud, support is less enthusiastic.

But you're right that among liberal American Jews, abortion is always at or near the top of political concerns.

The problem is that there are too many liberal jews in America who just don’t care about Israel, they never have, they have no connection and therefore could care less what happens to her. Trust me I have liberal Jewish family members and whenever Israel is mentioned they just roll their eyes. My Mom’s friends, all Jewish, whenever there is a stabbing in Israel not a peep about it from them on facebook(I follow one of them on facebook for my Mom since she does not have an account) but they have enough time to trash Republicans for their views on abortion, that they have time to reflect on
