Yarmouth represents Louisville, which has a pretty big Jewish population.

So his comments will be interesting.

Jews have had it pretty good in the US for the past 50 to 75 years, as have most of us. They don't feel the pull to Judaism; for many their religion is liberalism.

In undergrad, I was involved in a conversation with some friends over support for Israel, and specifically that Reagan had been one of the best friends Israel had.

Several of them happened to be Jewish, and they lined up on the issue predictably, according to Party ID.

But there was something else as well. One of the Republicans got ticked off and asked the Democrats "who is your closest relative lost to the Holocaust?" The Democrats couldn't name one, while the Republicans could each name several (cousins, great aunts and uncles).

As it turned out, the Democrats' relatives had mostly come to the US right before or immediately after the turn of the Century. The Republicans' had mostly come later, 1930s onward (the one exception's great-great grandparents had fled the Russian pogroms in the late 1800s).

So the real differentiator between them wasn't really Party ID; it was how far removed they were from the experience of the Holocaust (or in the one case, Pogroms). The ones with closer (much closer) institutional/familial knowledge of severe oppression and antisemitism were also the ones who were more Conservative and stauncher supporters of Israel.

Only a few congressional districts in the country have as many as 10% Jews, and I’m pretty sure Louisville isn’t one of them.

Thank You.

Indeed. That the Democrats made a rebuttal at all (like after a state of the union address) was revealing.

Then again, Netanyahu showed clearly that the leader of the free world is not in the White House.

Thank you for your insights, dearest sister in Christ!
