As one sees in both Judaism and Christianity today, there is a broad range from true conservative "orthodoxy" to the most willy-nilly Leftist "orthodoxy," with some clear distinctions.

As one looks to the demographics of Orthodox Jews, they tend to be family-oriented with larger families, more adherent to scripture and related texts, and vote along conservative lines.

Distinctly the opposite, the very liberal "Jews" -- and some would joke "bagel" Jews -- identify only with the culture, but are far less evident in terms of being family-oriented and with large families, and far less respectful of scripture and vote along Leftist lines.

The same may be observed in all the various Christian denominations, wherein a conservative "orthodoxy" is quite other than the extreme Leftist, trendy, pro-abortion and pro-LGBT+ "Christian" denominations.

Please note I placed quotation marks around the "Christian" and "Jews" nouns above, because the Leftists seem to be more like one another than any observant religious people.

Your post is interesting but irrelevant to the subject.

There are some vehemently anti-Zionist Orthodox Jews (Neturei Karta,) and some of the most influential Zionists are not religious. Bear in mind that the preponderance of founders of Israel were not merely secular but socialist.

One of the most strident hawks in the Knesset is Avigdor Liberman, who leads a secular nationalist party.
