That’s what I have never understood...
I always thought that Jews possessed above-average intelligence.
I always thought that Jews cared deeply about financial success.
I always thought that Jews cared deeply about religious freedom.
So how could so many of them support the Democrat party?
It must be like the Bible says they are stubborn and always lick the wrong side. Now with President Trump he is so obvious they are finally waking up.
All these things are very true.
Getting Jewish support is more than being pro-Israel.
For one thing, the Jewish community doesn’t really trust the Christian community.
Another is there is a fundamental belief in the Jewish community to support those in need.
That points to “minorities” which then points to “liberals”.
Reagan made great leaps with the Jewish community but the Bush family set us back probably 40 years.
The Obama Presidency made Israel fear that all of the USA was going to abandon them.
Hillary was their plan to continue the path to a liberal thinking “Middle East Peace” thinking.
When Trump won, it shook Israel up as they didn’t know what to expect and since they get much of their news from NYT-WP, they really thought the USA was gone as a supporter.
Slowly they began to suspect that maybe they were wrong and were being lied to by the Democrat Party.
It will take probably another 50 years for the Jewish community to reliably support Republicans but it will take strong leadership in addition to Trump.
Because their true religion, liberalism, demands obediance to leftist doctrine.
