I want to know - are American Jewish voters getting a clue yet? They overwhelmingly voted for Obama. Are they going to continue to vote for Democrats?
You raise a question that has had me wanting to slap my face to see if the insanity is a dream or is this a part of living in the Twilight Zone?
Why do Jews vote Democrat when Democrats do not strongly support Israel? In a January, 2009 Rasmussen Poll, the following numbers show poor Democrat support:
Sixty-two percent (62%) of Republicans back Israel’s decision to take military action against the Palestinians, but only half as many Democrats (31%) agree. A majority of Democrats (55%) say Israel should have tried to find a diplomatic solution first, a view shared by just 27% of Republicans.
While 75% of Republicans say Israel is an ally of the United States, just 55% of Democrats agree. Seven percent (7%) of Democrats say Israel is an enemy of America, but only one percent (1%) of Republicans say the same. For 21% of Republicans, Israel is somewhere in between, and 28% of Democrats agree.
Zbigniew Brzezinski, one of Obama's foreign policy advisors said in a September 2009 interview with the Daily Beast:
DB: "How aggressive can Obama be in insisting to the Israelis that a military strike might be in America’s worst interest?"
Brzezinski: "We are not exactly impotent little babies. They have to fly over our airspace in Iraq. Are we just going to sit there and watch? . . . we have to be serious about denying them that right. That means a denial where you aren’t just saying it. If they fly over, you go up and confront them. They have the choice of turning back or not. No one wishes for this but it could be a Liberty in reverse."
After reading the above, I gave myself two slaps. My dog jumped off my lap and hid under the bed.
