Oh, let this be...

Like Rush says, welcome home.

Now if only we could get our REPUBLICAN president to move right ward as well.

A good start would be acknowledging the proven, and obvious, truth that Arafat is the source of terrorism NOT a broker for peace (duh!).

This is good news!

CCAR President Rabbi Martin Wiener presented the shift in his organization's position as the result of a soul-searching the movement has conducted since the intifada broke out. "Many of us who supported the Oslo process in the past decade have to admit that the Palestinians do not want peace," Wiener said during his visit to Israel.

Good morning Rabbi, and welcome to reality. I hope your being mugged by it wasn't to painful.

93 percent felt the Palestinian Authority and Yasser Arafat were not doing enough to thwart terror.

Like nothing!

I have my doubts. There are far too many American Jews with a self destruct gene who readily snap up the lies of the left at their own peril.

[concerned about politics]

Geeeez. I was wondering how long they were going to be fooled. Thank goodness they've seen the light.
It's odd it took them this long.

In reference to Israel's war on terror, I won't bite on this rosy scenario till I see the mostly liberal Jewish organizations and leading individuals speak out in support of the beleaguered nation. They are generally and strangely silent. Kinda like the American Muslim organizations and leaders who are mostly mute in support of the U.S. war on terror.

Along with the rest of their compatriots, American Jews are moving rightward on issues ranging from the Israel-Palestinian conflict to civil rights and the environment.

Last time I looked Hillary and Schumer were the NY senators

Welcome home to the prodigals

Let's wait and see what happens in November......

This Jewish conservative is a living refutation of the perception all Jews are liberal. Some of us are decidedly not. The rightward shift among Jews today is correlated less with specific domestic controversies than a growing realization the Left has grown in hostility and hatred towards Israel while the Right has acquired a philosemitic hue. American Jewish identification with liberalism is historically derivative and can be traced to the reception Jews faced on the Right in the old country. America is very different and Jews are slowly coming to realize the Democrats are not the sole address the community can turn to respond to their concerns. A lot of us ex Democrats know this to be true. And since I joined the Republican Party a few years ago, I haven't looked back.

Interesting, but failed to address Second Amendment issue. Sadly, MOST Jewish-American pols are antis. It is a fact. Indisputable. Moving to the "right?" Perhaps when Rabbi Eric Yoffie, President of the Union of American Hebrew Congregations, retracts his Dec. 1999 statement referring to NRA members as a "...criminal lobby," I'll take heart in this article. Yoffie urged a "..Take no prisoners,Give no quarter campaign against the NRA." He was supported by a majority of his brethren...

When are American Jewish "liberals" and "neo-cons" going to stop supporting phony "human rightser" muslim-coddling neo-imperialsts, "peacekeeping" missions, etc., and start supporting the Serbs, who were only fighting against islamic expansionism just like Israel is doing and America should be doing?

[Alberta's Child]

This article is a little deceptive because it treats liberal American Jews as if they are different than any other liberals. In fact, they are the same -- they are liberal only insofar as they do not have to pay a price for their folly.

Liberals tend to become conservative under some very specific circumstances. Usually it is when THEY are mugged on a street corner, when buildings in THEIR city are toppled to the ground by terrorists, when THEY sit down to file their income taxes, etc.

Interesting you would post this considering your support of the ADL and bashing of the Catholic League.

Don't have a very high regard for the intellectual of conservatives do you?

By the way, you were called on your false statement about the Catholic League. Why haven't you responded?

[Salvation]

Does this mean that Hitlery will lose some vote in NY? Hoping............Hoping..........

93% of Jews voted for Gore.
