Non sequitur.

One more time, as it applies in 2011.

What I am trying to understand is why SOME — not all — Jews would actively support by words, deeds, and money either individuals or organizations that are committed to their destruction or to the destruction of their country. This applies to American Jews and Israeli Jews.

You have a sitting American president and an administration that are actively as antisemitic as I have ever seen — whether it applies to the United States or towards Israel. That is what I cannot fathom. I want you to explain this to me because all I have done is point out that such Jews exist. Do you deny they exist?

Explain to me why a rational person would support individuals or organizations committed to their destruction or the destruction of their country?

I understand where you are coming from and what you are trying to figure out. There is no simple answer. I’m not denying that there are Jews who vote liberal against their own self-interest. What I am saying though is that they aren’t doing this because they are self-hating or want another Holocaust. They believe their political opinions are correct. I dislike the implication that Jews somehow asked for or actively participated in the root causes of the Holocaust.

I never claimed liberals were rational. My best explanation is that they are liberals first. I know that I put my political beliefs ahead of my religious beliefs when I vote. The same is true for Israel. I vote with America as my first priority. If Israel was my first priority then I would feel obligated to move there.

I would like to believe that our president isn’t Antisemitic just stupid. I think most of what he does is symbolic. I don’t care for what that symbolism stands for and I certainly believe he has no business asking Israel to give up land. It must be one of the first rules of war – when your country is invaded and you win, any land you gain is yours. I also have faith that Israel can take care of itself.
