Excellent choice.

This sends a clear message: evangelical Christians, who outnumber Jewish Americans significantly, are the strongest U.S. supporters of Israel. Appointing Huckabee underscores this alignment and demonstrates support for Israel from a large segment of the American population.

Which is why liberal Jews don’t support Israel.

Do you think liberal Jews don't support Israel because evangelicals do?

I'll have to think about that a bit.

I would usually have concluded that liberal Jes don't support Israel because their fellow liberals hate Israel and Jews (and liberal Jews are self-hating).

There has long been a split between Zionist and Non-Zionist Jews, going way back to pre-war Europe.

A lot of evangelical Christians support Israel because they believe it’s existence is a sign that the End Times are near.

Those aren’t liberal Jews. They’re leftists, communists, “progrsssives.”. A very big difference.
They’re anything but liberal.

“Which is why liberal Jews don’t support Israel.”

Maybe some. I think it is mainly that leftist Jews know they should actively support Israel, maybe volunteer, or even move there, but are too lazy and selfish to do so, and the embarrassment condemns them.

It’s the same reason leftists hate soldiers, religious people of most any kind, successful people, or anyone with convictions because it makes them feel bad about themselves for being frauds.

***********************************************************

I think it was Solomon, King of Jerusalem, that said in Ecclesiastes something along the lines of....”man needs to understand that there are just some things in our world that man will NEVER understand”.

One of those things is that the Bible says Jesus was a Jew but it also says that Jews asked Pilate to crucify him.

So, you could say SOME “Jews” have a long history of trying hard to be on both sides of an issue.

I’m going to miss Huckabee’s commentary on the evening shows. He is a great American.
