The same reason that Jews in Germany went along with Hitler. The wanted to be the “good German Jew”. We remember how well that worked out.
I have a relative who hates Israel and Jews with a passion and voted for Obama. He thinks it should be called Palestine and Jews should get out. I think he got his moneys worth. I think they, the Jew haters and the Lib Jews, both view themselves as enlightened and tolerant.... Progressives. When Iran punts a Nuke into Israel, they’ll all blame Einstein.
Because Jews hate Christians, who MAY want to convert them, WAY more than they hate Muslims, who want to KILL them!
Because God has not lifted the veil over their eyes...yet.
Jews are taught from the cradle that Republicans are right-wing AND that the right-wing is one step away from morphing into Naziism.
Most Jews believe this to their core...to the point that they will vote in droves for a confirmed disciple of the Jew-hating “Reverand” Wright.
Fear of folks like that guy in Norway which brings back memories unpleasant coupled with tikkun olam
Read Abbie Hoffmans eulogy...that rabbi said it better than I’ve ever seen it better
I really think it is “Please kill us last.” They try hard to show their most likely oppressor and murderer that they are fiercely loyal and shouldn’t be killed or oppressed too severely.
Most Jews are socialists, whether they realize it or not.
I’m Catholic, but attended a coworker’s son’s Bar Mitzvah service a couple of years ago.
From the ‘pulpet’ (or whatever the Jewish equivalent is) came an endless liberal rant. Karl Rove’s name came up frequently. Even heard sympathy for the ‘plight of the Palestinians’.
With this one experience, I’m left with the impression that the liberal slant comes from the Jewish leadership
This endless fascination of the Jew vote. I would say who cares, but for some reason many people do.
....because communist support fellow communist....it is that simple...
possible ping on the original article, written by a Jewish commentator challenging his liberal “kinsmen”. (Which should demonstrate to some of the posters here on this thread that not ALL Jewish voters support Obama.)
Not all Jews support Obama, To many its a case of who brought this schmuck to the convention when we had Hillary? Being a democrat is usually passed on from one generation to the next. It isn’t only a Jewish thing. Politics is being treated as sports team, its more like a Red Sox’s vs Yankees mind set.
Easy. Jews aren’t Jews.
Mason said, "You know, Michael, I get this question a lot. I know whenever a Gentile starts a question by saying, 'I know you're Jewish...', he's going to ask me why so many Jews are DemocRATS."
He went on to explain that so many Jews feel guilty about their success in life. Jews seem to attract success without even trying and then when it comes they feel like they don't deserve it. So they support DemocRATS because they believe The DemocRAT Party is the friend of the poor and the downtrodden and they think they can atone for their success by supporting DemocRATS.
At the end, he went into one of his classic Jackie Mason rants, "It's craziness, Michael. It's a sickness. Gentiles can't understand it. I don't understand it." He went on for about two more minutes in that vein. It was awesome.
First of all, it may be more accurate to ask "Why do so many Jews still support Obama?".
Jews, after all, are not monolithic, as is evidenced by the number of Jewish FReepers we have around here.
The great Jewish immigration of the early 20th century brought many people to this country who were influenced by the writings of Karl Marx, at a time when the true horrors of Marxism were not yet apparent. Jews had a long history of persecution in Europe, and they came with a strong tradition of sympathy for the downtrodden which still prevails today, which has translated into support for liberal causes.
Accordingly, during the 20th century, Jews have been in the forefront of support for liberal, neo-socialist causes such as trade unionism, and later, black civil rights. And although Jews have prospered in the United States, pulling themselves by their own bootstraps from the slums of New York to a position of power and prosperity in America, for many, this liberal tradition has become an integral part of the American Jewish self-identity which still carries on today.
Secondly, Jews, like many other Americans, can be intellectually lazy when it comes to politics. Let's face it, FReepers are "politics junkies", but the vast majority of Americans are largely apolitical and only become slightly interested in politics in election years, and it's easy if your self-identity is long established by years of family and group tradition. This isn't just an American Jewish phenomenon - one can easily wonder why blue-collar Americans (you know, those gun-owning, deer hunting patriotic Christian "bitter clingers") are easily persuaded to vote like their union stewards tell them they should, or why 97% of African-Americans vote for the party that keeps them in perpetual second and third-class bondage by convincing them that they are indeed so inherently deficient that they cannot prosper on their own talents, without their liberal plantation masters to guide them and provide them with massive income redistribution,
Thirdly, there is the comforting self-delusion that liberals are morally and intellectually superior to the "others" who are not liberal. It's kind of like the college sophomore who think that they are intellectuals by default, smarter than their parents, smarter than those "Joe Lunchbucket" types who work for their living.
So why do so many Jews (and blacks, union lemmings and academics) support a leftist ideology that trades in anti-Semitism, anti-Americanism, anti-Christian bigotry, anti-capitalism and a general disdain for Western Civilization? Why is it that so many American Jews are truly more paranoid about scary, gun-toting Christians who they actually fear will force them to convert their religion combined with a knee-jerk tradition of supporting the same liberals who have now taken up with their greatest true threat, genocidal Islamic imperialism?
IMHO, it's due to a long-standing tradition of allegiance to an ideology that tells them they morally and intellectually superior to those "others", a combination of intellectual laziness and the self-delusion of enlightenment, entitlement, and elitism.
Because they are neo-Bolsheviks wirh Jewish surnames.
do you think it is impossible for a jew to be totally void common sense?
Most people who call themselves Jews do are social liberals who not believe in the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob as He is portrayed in the Bible. If they did, they would be much more careful as to who gets their support.
Why are so many generalizing, slippery, neo-Nazi rants against Jews posted here, when Jewish people comprise such a small percentage of our population? Most Catholics voted for Obama, and Catholics comprise 25% of the population. Most politicians are Catholic, and most Catholic politicians are Democrats. We don’t see thousands of posts on this site generalizing against U.S. Catholics, as posts like yours do against Jewish people.
