The greatest accomplishment of the Left in the Twentieth Century was to successfully depict Hitler as a conservative.
I wrote this a few days ago - maybe it will help explain why so many American Jews throw Israel under the bus.
The US has a what I call “Jews in Food Only” and it does seem they are in the majority of the Jewish population.
If you delve into voting records of US Jews you’ll find the more Orthodox in beliefs and lifestyle the more Conservative; this is carried over into their voting patterns. Hasidic’s in particular are staunch Conservative/Republican voters.
Sadly there are way too many Jews in the US who have replaced the Torah, their religious traditions and beliefs with liberalism. It is not hard to find those who call themselves Jews but never go to Temple or keep the Sabbath. They may “celebrate” some of the High Holidays but even that turns into an opportunity for a family/friends dinner party.
I grew up with (my own mother) and know so many Jews whose entire connection to Judaism literally is eating bagels lox and cream cheese, white fish, hearing and cream sauce, chopped liver and matzo balls. While I am now a Christian having converted years ago, I follow more teachings of the Torah then most of the Jews I know including those in my own family.
The Torah, God’s teachings, traditional family values and Orthodoxy keep getting pushed further down in importance as liberalism consumes another generation of Jews.
I honestly can not figure out why this continual descent into liberalism keeps happening. Obama has never hidden his dislike of Israel and Jews in general. Biden isn’t much better. Hillary was quoted more than a few times making disparaging remarks about and directly at Jews. Maybe someone else can answer what we all want to know, why?
Recently Bibi’s Brother-in-Law made the connection between American Jews who vote against the interests of Israel (he called out Obama specifically) and American Jews who have stopped giving their children a religious education. It coincides exactly with voting patters of US Jews - 72% no religious education, 28% do provide religious education - the exact breakdown polling shows time after time, election after election with.
God forbid it would take Iran dropping a nuke on Israel to wake up American Jews.
I’m not Jewish but The American Thinker has published some very good articles on the subject. “Robin of Berkeley” and Norman Podhoretz are both former leftist Jews who have changed their views and have published their views about Jewish liberalism there.
