I hope that the Jewish voting bloc starts to understand that the frivolous charges by demoSTUPIDs that conservatives are antisemitic is total BUNK!
This is just another reason why the demoNUGGETs are as desperate as they are.
Q: How did Israel become a favorite cause of the Christian Right?A: Jesus was a Jew.
From what I've read,this has led to considerable alarm among Jews;but, needing all the help they can get, they have been polite to people they consider almost as much of a threat to Israel as the Muslims.
and how Arafat, Castro, and Red China became a favorite cause of the Liberal Left.
It ignores the fact that Israel's support may have come because its cause is just. Israel's growing support also has a lot to do with the fact that after 9/11, many Americans can see that this nation is as much a target for Islamic hatred and destruction as Israel is.
We have gotten glimpses behind the curtain to see who are true enemies are, and now have some understanding of Islamic speak, and truly understand what is meant by "after Saturday, comes Sunday."
Further, conservatives, most of whom in the U.S. are Christians, make the cultural and religious connection between the Jewish Christ and the Jewish roots of Christianity, and the fact that the God of the Old Testament, the God of Israel, is also the Christian God.
Further, most conservatives, being intelligent and well read historically, are aware of the past record and current practise of what has got to be the most vile, violent, and intolerant religious cult to have ever existed, and the writings and behavior of its founder: Islam.
As for most American Jews being liberal Democrats, this has been true in the past and is true at present. However, Orthodox and Hassidic Jews tend to vote conservative because their value systems and morality are more reflective of conservative values.
The balance of American Jews tend to be liberal and Democratic because their ancestors came over here at a time when the Republican Party and the conservative elements of the Democratic Party were run by racists who wanted to exclude immigrants from eastern and southern Europe from the American social and political scene, and that included most Jewish immigrants. On the other hand, the corrupt political machines of the inner cities, where most of these people settled, were run by Democrats, and they welcomed anybody's vote and repaid them with patronage, while indoctrinating them with propaganda about evil Anglo-robber barons and the political party which represented them - the Republicans. This was also the case with many Italian and Irish and Polish immigrants.
HOWEVER, times and people have changed. And the propaganda spun by the Democratics is wearing thin, even on its most recent victims, the Hispanics and Blacks. For very many of these people, as for very many Jews, family values mean something, as does the American Dream, fundamental human freedom, and the right to live without onerous government control in an environment free of predatory criminals, perverts and illegal invaders.
Consequently, the Republican Party, if it remains true to its conservative roots, supports the correct party, n this case Israel, and uses some intelligent stratgies, can really bury the Socialistic homophilic, atheistic, anti-American zoo which has become the Democratic party.
The support for Israel by America's religious conservatives is merely the first step. By active recruiting among new immigrant groups, like some of the Hispanics, Asians, etc, who are small business owners, hard workers, and people with strong family values, they can destroy the liberal Democrats.

...from Conservative agnostics, like myself, as well who have always been a supporter.
I have to admit, I don't understand this labelling of Conservatives as being intolerant of Jews or anti-Semitic. Even amongst my Conservative Christian and Catholic friends, I've heard nary a negative word about the Jews or their right to defend themselves. It seems to be more of a media-fed phenomenon than an actuality. Of course it is perpetuated by the liberal Jews who continue the mantra. Am I incorrect, naive, sheltered, or a combination of all of the above?
Raising money to send a ambulance to Israel. Maybe the Christians are supporting Israel because it needs help. Maybe they support Israel because they ARE Christians.
There is something about the Israelis and how are conducting themselves that is truly touching and inspiring. As for the forces arrayed against them, well Arafat, the Saudi and European Left are despicable. That's probably the answer to Christian evangelical support.
There has been no 'shift', it's always been that way, at least with the people I know.
Liberals are nothing more than friends of convenience; they use various groups against each other with the furtherance of their own goals being the primary consideration. Yes, the liberals will protect everybody from each other.........they remind me of some pyromaniac who likes to start fires, then show up on the scene playing 'hero'.......
........all they've really been doing is trumpeting in their lying press all along is how the Christians hate the Jews, we'll kill them, have another Holocaust, etc.............
..........now they act as if it's some big 'revelation' that Christians are supportive of Israel. Hmpf.....
