My Mom’s entire family is from Israel, but my cousins, they act like they can give a rats behind about Israel, even though they have visited the country on numerous occasions..even before the election I told one of them “Don’t you care that Obama doesn’t care about Israel” and he said “Oh that’s not my problem” most Jews are self hating jews, they hate their religion
It sounds like your cousins are too enamored of their own liberal-americanism to care about Isreal. Which is a shame, because if they’d embrace Isreal and their people, they would be identifying themselves with some of the most courageous people in human history.
I’m a Christian but living in Los Angeles in the fifties/sixties went to school with many Jewish immigrants from east coast. They dominated my school classes, and most of my teachers were Jews.
They have always, always been nearly 100% Democrat in my experience.
And yes, MANY Jews are self hating, ignore their religion, eat pork, and don’t even think about Israel. They are liberal Dems first and foremost.
I really don’t think they have a problem with Palin in particular, seriously. I’ve asked a couple of them about her and they make a face just like all the other non-Jews around here who vote Dem make faces or spew hatred if they hear her name.
