Conservatives keep asking why Jews vote for the Left. Part of the answer seems to be that Jews get suckered by utopian promises..... But the silence of American Jews on the fate of Israel is the most ominous reality today.

The author should have titled this something else. He makes only a couple of observations about Jews. His idea that "Jews get suckered" is just wrong. American Jews are primarily non-Torah observant Reform or Secular. Just like "Christians" who belong to mainline protestantism or "secular" Christians, they account for 10's of millions of democrat voters who support wicked groups like the World Council of Churches or National Council of Churches. These groups are very anti Israel, pro gay, pro enviro extremist and socialist.

So, it is not a suckering of Jews or non-jews, it is a lack of Torah observance, G-d fearing, G-d centered living and in the case of Christians, NT observance and the exact same lack of G-d centered living.

American Reform Jews, due to their "enlightened" upbringing call their buildings "temples" and hence could care less about Israel and the Real Temple (which will be rebuilt). So, being a Jew to them means social justice, not to come through spiritual means but secular government.

So, American Jewry (Reform and Secular) and their Christian counterparts, are devoid of a G-d fearing lifestyle and are content to let goverment do it, while rooting on their favorite sports team and enjoying American Idol, the I-something gadget, hollywood gossip and People magazine. We are fat dumb and happy. We wont do anything until a crisis occurs and then it will be one gigantic reset. Then through the turmoil, people will once again, return to their faith. maybe.

So being a Jew to [American Reform Jews] means social justice, not to come through spiritual means but secular government.

"Social justice" is the most vacuous phrase in political discourse. You should be repulsed by it whenever you here it. Ask a lefty who advocates it to explain what it means and I'll assure you he'll hem and haw unless or until he gets into Marxist gobbledygook and thereby reveals his true (Red) colors.

It's a stretch to lump all "American Reform Jews" into the "social justice" camp, but too many, including rabbis, unfornately belong to it.

The true meaning of JUSTICE in Judaism is RIGHTEOUS JUSTICE. JUSTICE must not be confused with another Jewish (and Christian) value: charity. "Social Justice" is NO JUSTICE whatsoever!
