I don't get it. I thought that Jews were the ultimate capitalists. Why would they go for socialist kerry. Jews in have been persecuted by socialists for decades. And what about Israel. Something stinks here.
Many liberal Jews are more afraid of Christian fundamentalism than they are of a foreign threat posed by Arabs. Israeli Jews aren't so confused on this issue...
The American Jewish community pays lip service to supporting Israel but is far more concerned with themselves. For example when polled they are much more willing to give up land for peace (as if that works) than Israeli citizens are. They think Kerry is better for them and really don't care what happens in Israel.
So Pat Buchanan is correct to have a pro Arab view.
This reflects the secularization (and liberalization) of ethnic Jews. We Christians who support Israel are called upon to make them jealous for their God.
This Poll was done by a Clinton Poller.
I'm a Jew and never defore have I heard so many of my Jewish friends say they are either voting for Bush or not at all ebcause of their disgust not for the Dem party so much but with the Dem electorate.
I wouldn't trust any foreign polls, regardless of the group.
Mental illness.
From you mouth to God's ears my friend!
Thanks for your post and your perspective. When I read the article, my reaction was that this "poll" was more spin and the pushing of opinion than a legitimate measurement of opinion. Your comments re-enforce my suspicion.
Mr. Mojo, I sho hope you're right!
"if 76% of American jews like Kerry over Bush there are some dumb-assed American jews"
Dumb-a$$ed secular Jews like the ones working for the ACLU and the media. The ones who gave up their religion and only use it when it is convenient for them. Orthodox Jews would probably not want to see kerry win (IMHO).
How could such an educated and responsible group of people be so politically stupid for so long?
The Jews have been on the wrong side of history ever since the Exodus. So this shouldn't surprise anyone.
Yet Christian fundys don't blow up their buses and pizza parlors full of women and children.
Ive decided to not believe this poll due to the source.
I've wondered for some time whether those Jews who truly care about Israel and the defense of a Jewish homeland have already relocated to Israel to personally help in the building and defense of that nation. Which means that those Jews who remain in the US aren't as strongly "pro-Israel" as we'd like to assume.
1. Many American Jews are not observnt and consider secular humanism to be their principle idoelogy and
2. they consider the Religious Right to be a bigger threat than Islamic extremists.
I regularly listen to Michael Medved's radio program and some of his Jewish callers are every bit a bigoted against conservative Christians as anti-Semites are against Jews.
This was particularly evident during the controversy surrounding "The Passion of the Christ."
