This statement is completely wrong. Observant Jews overwhelmingly support Bush as do Jews under the age of 30. The problem is that the majority of non-observant secular Jews don't care about Israel's well being. They are more concerned with liberalism. The old saying is that you cant teach an old dog new tricks. That may be true in this case but some of us are coming around.

I understand your statement, and completely agree there is a significant difference between secular and observant Jews.

What I posted was my friend Ben's opinion, and I stated it as such.

The fact that many Jews don't reciprocate the support to Republicans may hurt, but we conservatives will never abandon our support for Israel and our commitment to keep the Jewish people safe from Islamofascists. The phrase "never again" should not be used unless we mean it.

Conservatives should mean it. We are fighting evil--together.

"The problem is that the majority of non-observant secular Jews don't care about Israel's well being."

But to say "They are more concerned with liberalism" is merely to beg the question. Notwithstanding their "non-observance", are they Jews or not? If they identify themselves as Jewish in any meaningful way, then their insistence on voting for the party which welcomes anti-semitism with open arms is infuriating.
