I have previously posted that I have never understood the high percentage of Jews in America that vote Democrat, even when the leaders of the Democrats advocate anti-Israel policies. You would think that a pro-Israel and pro-business candidate would be appealing to Jews, but it does not seem to make any difference. They will vote for a liberal Democrat regardless of the candidate's views. I suspect that the reason is that most Jews are non-religious and they feel uncomfortable with a political party that is composed of active Christians. In that regards, it is a spiritual problem.

My experience is that most Jews are committed Liberals with no actual religious conviction.

Reformed Synagogues are just Democrat Party Meetings with interesting cultural flotsam.

I went to Purim in Seattle at one such commune (ahem, Synagogue), and they LITERALLY replaced “Haman” with “Bush”. If you know the holiday, it’s like saying “Bush” instead of “Judas” sold out Christ.

Wow.

” I suspect that the reason is that most Jews are non-religious and they feel uncomfortable with a political party that is composed of active Christians.”

Part of it is that. But part of it is that Christians both Protestant and Catholic don’t have a very good history (on a scale of 1,000 years) of treating Jews well. Jewish culture has been keeping track of things and writing it down for, say, 5,000 years (no other continuous narrative of a culture comes even close). So as a culture, they remember things we Christians would rather forget.

That said, what seems to me a modern tendency by American Jews to obsess on Christians as the source of their misery (partly true historically) is leading them to support the biggest anti-semitic groups in America today, American blacks and the left in general. For reasons I don’t understand, totalitarians of every stripe end up anti-semetic. And American Jews (at least the Reform Jews) are missing what is going on in that regard completely.

"I have previously posted that I have never understood the high percentage of Jews in America that vote Democrat, even when the leaders of the Democrats advocate anti-Israel policies....."

I recently responded to a question like that on this thread, at post 122. It is a question that gets asked often on FREE REPUBLIC, and subsequently answered often.
