A new study argues that the large majority of American Jews have a deep-seated notion that being Jewish is inextricably bound to being liberal.
That idea took hold after the large waves of Jewish immigration to the US in the late 19th century, according to the study’s author, American history professor Gil Troy.
American Jewish liberalism and association with the Democratic party is showing no signs of abatement, despite many predictions to the contrary since Ronald Reagan’s presidency, according to Troy’s research, which is being published by the Ruderman Family Foundation's Program for American Jewish Studies at the University of Haifa.
In particular, Troy notes that president Franklin Roosevelt, author of the New Deal program of social initiatives and policies, became a hero for American Jews who benefited from these measures and drew them even further toward the Democratic Party....

Would that be self loathing two state supporting types?
Half of Jews are not religions. So Judaism is also an ethnicity.
I don’t care how they spin it, it still does not make sense.
Ah, what good did/does it do?
And at 2 percent of the population, they can hardly be blamed for swaying an election to a dem pres candidate.
They certainly keep the dem party awash in money though :)
But 25 percent is pretty good for the GOP, considering their percentage of the population.
I think it’s more than 50% to Dems.
I don’t get it. It’s like the blacks. Everything libs do hurts them (or spit on Israel in the case of the Jews), yet they keep turning out to vote for their oppressors. Stockholm I guess.
Think about the mentality of someone who cares more about a supposed “right to kill babies” than about defending Israel from extermination.
Most NY Jews would vote for Hitler if he had a D next to his name.
It may be tied to being liberal but it is the most insane delusion possible to becoming tied to leftists. Jews are absolutely the first to be slaughtered under leftists.
I am trying to bring down Harry Reid’s Senate Majority PAC. Top donors all Jewish, worth upwards of $50 billion.
Nearly all those liberal Jews can trace their roots to Bolshevik Russia. They are not Jews, they are Bolsheviks.
For many has become an act of idolatry.
Does Ben Shapiro or Bill Kristol support the two state solution? Shapiro was writing in the 2000s about deporting all Palestinians from Palestine, but was writing in 2016 that Trump was immoral to want a Muslim ban.
Jews supporting islam, which is what the democrap party overwhelmingly represents. Just look at their co-chair, the enemy islamist ellison.
Tragic. The D party has been viciously anti- Semitic for many years already. These are the Self- hating Jews. You’d think they’d be smart enough to learn better but they are stupid and self- destructive and it’s a terrible tragedy of history. Terrible.
If they were real Jews or real Americans of any faith they’d use their incredible generosity to demand that the D party they’re paying for purge it’s Nazi and islamonazi and communist controlling clique. Drain the D party machine Swamp!!!!!
I am a proud 25%-er. And again, wasn’t it their hero FDR, who turned away ships bringing Jews to America to send them back to Europe towards inevitable death and forbade his State Department to issue entry visas to Jews so the State schindlers had to sneak Jews into US. These people, I mean American liberal Jews, are such morons.
The bulk of the “jews” who support the democratic party are jews by genetics, but not by religion. They are as embarrassed by their own religion as they are by Israel and America.
Judaism is obsessed with being altruistic which is one of the main principles of liberalism.
