Many American secular Jews do not view Israel as a priority.

And many are like Chamberlain, the pre-WWII Prime Minister of England. He was a smart guy and legitimately thought “peace in his time” could be obtained by concession. It’s a seductive thought, and embraced by 54% of the USA population, not merely Jews.

But most importantly Jews are also urban, through the accident of history in Europe where they were denied the right to own property, and thus became urban. Urban people -— regardless of ethnic or religious background -— are overwhelmingly liberal.

Indeed, I doubt there is a significant voting difference between Roman Catholics in New York City and Jews in New York City.

Wow.

That is, in all seriousness, a powerful piece of wisdom that hadn't really occured to me before

Thank you.
