That is a good question. There are many historical reasons why Jews are liberals. The Jewish community in the United States is about 80% Democrat and 20% Republican.

I have a feeling that those numbers will change over the next few years when the Jews finally realize that the Democrats will allow more harm to come to the Jews and Israel than the Republicans will.

Jews became liberals in America because they often found that liberal-minded people were more likely to accept them. During the 1930s, poor immigrant Jews in the major cities inclined toward the Democratic Party and labor unions for the same reasons that other immigrant working class groups did. But many things have changed since those days, especially the understanding and acceptance that have been offered to Jews by morally conservative Christians. There has been a lag, I think, intellectual inertia. But in my experience, younger Jewish people are much more likely than their elders to acknowledge that conservatives today are on the right side of the important issues facing our country.

Different mindset. Safe and far away from danger, they have fallen for the bogus ideology of the left.

They're becoming less so. The idiocy of the Muslim world is apparent to more and more people.

I have always wondered the same thing. I think that in Israel, at least, they have as many liberal idiots, per capita, as we do in America. I have no clue why, when they are being killed off in such numbers, by terrorists.
