"There is a small percentage of Conservative Jews who supported the war all along."

Can you post anything to substantiate your opinions?

Saddam Hussein launched missiles at Israel during Desert Storm, American Jews have been pissed off about that for over a decade.

You have no "educated observation", you have an opinion based on your impression of an entire ethnicity of people, based on your observation of a small number of anti-war Jews. You have also tried to make the connection that since Jews are mostly Liberals, they are against the war.

I refuted your small observation with my larger and broader one, one half of my family are American Jews, and I live in what could possibly be one of the highest concentration of Jews in the nation. And to top that, I pointed out that the most renown Jew in government today, is not only pro-war, but pro-Israel, and a Liberal.

I have attended functions at local temples where the featured speaker was Ari Fleischer, and have personally heard the support for the war coming from the crowd.

I have no obsession with Israel, and your ignorance is blinding.

American Jews don't care about Israel because they vote Democratic?

You are laughingly mistaken.

American Jews are the greatest supporters of the State of Israel in the world.

I'm not going to bother to cut and past your post, so if you can't stay with me, you'll have to scroll back...

I'm not sure where the "highest concentration of Jews in the nation" is, but I grew up in Brooklyn, so I am not basing my observation on a handful of acquaintenences. I submit to you, that if you live in a very Jewish community, you are most likely only coming into contact with the most liberal Jews. Note: I am not looking to criticize Jews in general. I am a big fan of Isrealis. American Jews, unfortunately, leave a lot to be desired politically. I see that you have made a big committment in you life to the Jewish culture. I cmmend you on that. But drawing parallels between the feelings of Jews in general, and those of Joe Lieberman ran is faulty logic. I can't tell you how many conservative Irish Catholics I know who voted for Jack Kennedy. Doesn't prove that they agreed with his views. The fact that NY Jews voted for Hillary Clinton shows that they don't give a shit about Isreal.
