They’re stupid. Jews have been faithful to the rats for at least six decades.

It makes NO sense.

It does makes sense.

I love Israel and her people, but there is a reason so many of them are so lost. They have rejected their own God - and have turned to the politics of Communism and Socialism as their god. Moreover, any support of Republicans is viewed in some Jewish circles as supporting a Christian based world view.

American Jews are more likely to be atheist or agnostic than most Americans, especially so compared with Protestants or Catholics. A 2003 poll found that while 79% of Americans believe in God, only 48% of American Jews do, compared with 79% and 90% for Catholics and Protestants respectively. While 66% of Americans said they were "absolutely certain" of God's existence, 24% of American Jews said the same. And though 9 percent of Americans believe there is no God (8% Catholic and 4% Protestant), 19 percent of American Jews believe God does not exist. [edit] Politics While Jewish immigrants from Germany tended to be politically conservative, the wave of Eastern European Jews starting in the early 1880s, were generally more liberal or left wing and became the political majority.[citation needed][original research?] Many came to America with experience in the socialist and communist movements as well as the Labor Bund, emanating from Eastern Europe.[citation needed][original research?] Many Jews rose to leadership positions in the early 20th century American labor Movement and helped to found unions that played a major role in left wing politics and, after 1936, in Democratic Party politics.[citation needed][original research?] While Jews leaned Republican in the second half of the 19th century, polls showed American Jews gave 90% support to Democrats Franklin D. Roosevelt and Harry S. Truman in the elections of 1940, 1944 and 1948. They gave almost 70% of their vote to Democrat Adlai Stevenson in 1952 and 1956, rather than Republican Dwight Eisenhower. In 1960 they voted 83% for Democrat John F. Kennedy, who was Catholic. In 1964, when the Republicans nominated arch-conservative Barry Goldwater (whose father was Jewish), 90% of American Jews voted for his opponent, Lyndon Johnson.[5] Since 1968, American Jews have voted about 70%-80% Democratic, increasing to 87% for Democratic House candidates during the 2006 elections.[6] Jimmy Carter (1976) is the only Democrat after Roosevelt to be elected president with less than 78% of the Jewish vote.[7][8] In 1992, 1996, and 2000, Bill Clinton and later, Al Gore each won 79% of the Jewish vote, and in 2004, John Kerry, a Catholic, received 74%.[8] In the 2008 presidential election, 78% of Jews voted for Barack Obama, who became the first African-American to be elected president.[9] Additionally, 83% of white Jews voted for Obama compared to just 34% of white Protestants and 47% of white Catholics, though 67% of those identifying with another religion and 71% identifying with no religion also voted Obama.[10]

Which again makes me wonder why we are so loyal to Israel

Especially in light of incidents like this
