Kinda sad that Jewish vote is predicated on support of Israel instead of GOP policies in general

I believe it is the principles of the Republican party that mandate its support of Israel in the face of an unprecedented propaganda campaign comming from radical muslim states. Conservatives seem less apt to buy into this propaganda and the revision of history surrounding the facts of Israel's creation, existence and repeated conflicts with her Arab neighbors. For this reason alone Jews should support the Republican party-- not because of some percieved blind support for Israel, but rather the Republican ideals of supporting freedom, democracy and capitalism ensure a strong allegiance with the Jewish state which mirrors these ideals.

Actually, there's been a significant turn in younger Jewish voters based largely on economic and tax issues, and social security.
