The truth is that these are the only “real Jews” left in the world today! Too many of the rest are simply PC sycophants for Marxism and Islam.
The J Post would rather keep Obama who hates Israel. Ted Cruz would be one of the best friends Israel ever had. The Post editors better wake up to who is surrounding them before they start casting stones at Cruz.
Typical liberal lit piece.
What this writer is stating is "most Jews are pro-killing babies, pro-invasion from unknown hordes, pro-homosexual acts and pro-Muslim/Islam and Shariah laws over their God Jehovah and their own scriptures!
Sadly, but he speaks the truth!!!
“His message may appeal to a disaffected element of the partyââ¬â¢s base but it is unlikely to go over well with non-Orthodox Jewish Republicans and independent voters.”
Hmm.... Will have to take that under consideration.

>> For most Jews, his hardline anti-abortion, anti-immigration, anti-gay marriage and anti-Muslim views are repellent.
Duh! Thank you Captain Obvious!
That’s why the great majority of liberal and “reformed” Jews vote DEMOCRAT.
Its true, my Mom’s four Jewish friends, could care less about Israel, their number one priority is making sure that women can still murder their babies that is all they care about
Bloomfield is a Washington insider and longtime Democrat partisan, not an Israeli.
At least the JP puts him in the Opinion section.
They’re all real Jews regardless who they support for the GOP nomination.
I think Sessions, Mike Lee and anyone who thinks themselves a conservative in the senate (that may be it) needs to come out and vigorously defend Cruz from this line of argument. The fact is that the Senate GOP has become an extension of the Democrat party under McConnell, refusing to do anything to reverse the leftist extremism of Barak Obama. Cruz has exposed them for holding show votes, for claiming they can do nothing when in fact they could, and for saying they will do one thing then doing another. They dislike him because he reveals their game to those who don't know what they are up to, and makes it harder for them to get away with it.
Anyone who is a conservative should be doing the same thing. It has nothing to do with "playing well with others." It has to do with the current composition of the Senate GOP, especially the leadership. If Cruz were elected in 1980, he would have fit right in, and been right there with Helms, East, Hatch, Gramm, Laxalt and the many other Senate conservatives, men who wielded power and chaired committees. Hatch has gone liberal over the years, but he was once a stalwart. They were stuck with Howard Baker and Bob Dole as leaders, but they got to push their views and get things taken to a vote. In 1994, it became even more possible to be a conservative Senator.
What causes Cruz trouble is that between 1994 and 2006, the GOP became the party of crony capitalism. Conservatism became a scheme that they used to get rich and powerful, not an end in itself. People like Hatch, Boehner, McConnell have been seduced by DC's siren song. So when a true conservative gets elected in 2012, he is now an outcast, separated from even his own party, because he believes what they claim to profess.
That is why Cruz can't get things done in the Senate. It's not that he doesn't play well with others, it's that others are on a different team, and he is not playing with them, but against them. Or rather, they are playing against him.
If true (which it seems to be) this is such a shame.
The Democratic Party and its Progressive worldview is the Baal, the wooden household idol, and the "high place" of the modern, liberal Jew. Such an awful shame. But then, this is to be expected. Read the Tanak for example after example of the people God chose choosing to not choose God.
Such a shame. Pray for these lost people.
I don’t understand this obsession with abortion. It’s sick. The Jews should be procreating after the vast amount of people who were murdered in the 20th century.
And your evidence for that which does not require the males to drop their pants is what, exactly? They can still spin a dreidel? They remember a little of the Yiddish their bubbe tried to teach them? They still have a savings bond from their bar mitzvah?
I don’t know about Orthodox here in the U.S. but most of the ones in Israel are about as bad as the Palestinians. But I was thinking the same thing as you... most of the secular Jews here are left of Hillary and Obama. Cruz would have no chance with them so why bother?
“In Cruz’s mission to become the most conservative president in history, and the most right wing when it comes to Israel, he may win the big pro-Israel campaign bucks. But if nominated, both his positions on Israel and his focus on the most conservative Evangelical voters are almost certain to guarantee a record-low Jewish GOP vote next November.”
And that would be different how? I don’t think we should look at them (Jewish GOP voters) as Republicans but as future Democrats that just need a slight touch to push them over the line. Really, I don’t think that group are going to be the ones that decide this election.
Jewish voters, overwhelmingly located in solid Dem locations, don’t make a difference. Jews aren’t a margin of victory except very locally, except for Florida. Even the Florida state exception goes Republican without Jewish support when the vote is close, so the Jewish vote there is less important than the numbers might indicate.
Jewish money is already far more evenly divided.
God bless Cruz. Of any of the candidates, he’s not ignorant about why he supports Israel. And he’s probably aware of the fact that most of them will hate him for it.
