Republicans believe that the deepening crisis in Gaza could ultimately loosen the grip that the Democratic Party has traditionally held upon American Jewish voters.
While declarations of a rift between Democrats and the Jewish community have proven premature in the past, things could be different this time, they assert.
Just in the last week, the Obama administration used unusually strong language to condemn the shelling of a United Nations-run school in Gaza, apparently by the Israeli military, and drafted a document for a cease-fire that Israeli officials denounced as favoring Hamas.
Conservatives say the overall stance of the administration has created an atmosphere of skepticism in the Democratic base toward Israel.
They point to a succession of recent polls to make their case. A Gallup survey last month found that only 31 percent of Democrats believed Israel’s actions against Hamas were justified, whereas 65 percent of Republicans held that view.
A Pew poll during the same period asked people which side was most to blame for the violence. Democrats split almost evenly on that question, with 29 percent blaming Hamas and 26 percent blaming Israel. By contrast, more than four times as many Republicans held Hamas culpable (60 percent) as pinned the blame on Israel (13 percent.)

Good reply. Thank you.
How many Jews voted for Hitler? Do you have some documentation to back this up? I'm sure many Jews voted for Communists, but I can't think of a single reason for a Jew voting for Hitler (George Soros excluded).
Don’t have to prove anything. Look who they are voting for in the USA today. The whole world knows that this administration is doing their best to make sure Israel looses any confrontation with their enemies, yet the majority of the Jews in this country still supports and votes for OBAMA, OBAMA
Your claim was not the Jews are voting against their interests by voting for Obama, a perfectly defensible position.
It was that “many Jews voted for Hitler.”
That’s what you need to prove, or admit you made it up.
Were you alive in the 30’s? Well I was, and it was common knowledge, at that time, that many German Jews voted for Adolph Hitler. Now that history has completely erased most of what happened then, I didn’t say that 100% of the Jews in Germany voted for Hitler, but many of them did, especially those in business, and those working for them. They honestly thought that Hitler will bring back the greatness of Germany and it’s business class.
Bullcrap.
Libtard Jews hate Christian Conservatives more than they fear Islam or love Israel
We are Nazis in their eyes standing in the way of creating their version of a better world.
Their influence in getting an enemy of Israel elected our president cannot be overestimated
Its sad but providential
What do you think is happening in Europe, especially France? Now, you can’t tell me that the Jews in France didn’t vote for the liberal government, now in France? What did Einstein say about a sign of “INSANITY”? “YOU KEEP DOING THE SAME THING, HOPING IT WILL TURN OUT DIFFERENT”. You don’t think it’ll never happen here?
Little do they know, that it will be the conservative CHRISTIANS that will be their savior
‘Bout time, but I’ll believe it when I see it.
Nope. Wasn’t alive then.
But “common knowledge” is often wrong. IMO if someone is going to make a remarkable claim they should be prepared to provide something resembling evidence.
Which does not mean recollections of what supposedly was “common knowledge” 80 years ago.
Some Jews....I have no clue how many....supported Hitler early for the reasons you wrote
In 1935 they were disenfranchised so it became mute....by then I’d guess most who had had buyers remorse
More interesting are the mischlings who survived in the military and politically as documented half Jews
Racial or ethnic purity is a difficult road even for isolated cultures
Even Israel battles who is or isn’t Jewish....they research this diligently from Ethyopia to Khazaria
Only in open borders USA is it frowned on to be predominate race or culture
In fact demonized as the enemy from whom to seek redress
The first election that Hitler won was in 1933, where he won 1/3 of the electorate. There after, when he took over the BUNDESTAG. Winning 1/3 of the BUNDESTAG gave Hitler the majority.
Lincoln and all that followed was on 39% in the general
Now he’s a hero to many
Not so much to others
Pretty amazing what can happen with no runoff
