As a Republican Jew here is my theory. Most voters are older people. As recently as 40 years ago discrimination against Jews was widespread, legal and promoted by people who were also mostly Republican. In fancy neighborhoods houses came with restrictive covenants that required the buyer not to sell to a Catholic, Black or Jew so Jews became segregated in their neighborhoods. They were not allowed to join mainstream country clubs. They were forced to stay among themselves and became insular. At the time they sided with minorities to gain civil rights. Civil rights law has changed that and now Jews are more widely accepted and even embraced by Republican that formerly shunned them. Younger Jews see the benefits of the R pary but old habits die hard.
My husband and I had a really good friend in Raleigh who was Jewish. When she found out we were registered Republicans (mid-1980s), she ended the friendship. It hurt, but we learned a lot about partisan politics from that experience. She was a native of Cleveland and her father a physician. Perhaps they were discriminated against up there.
The harm which the dem party and its policies does to Jews and to Israel is increasing fasg enough that if something doesn't happen soon, it may be irreparable. Israel itself could be lost.
The party of Lincoln, the party of civil rights, has always been the Republican party.
But most Americans don’t know that. Why?
But Republicans are hopelessly tone deaf, pious and naive, and have always been out-maneuvered by the devious Libs. The Libs are revisionist, and shamelessly co-opt any achievements or accomplishments of Republicans, who wilt without a whimper.
Weasels are the Liberals.
I say - let them die like weasels.
The only Jews who wanted to move into non-Jewish neighborhoods and join fancy country clubs were those who wanted to get away from other Jews.
