Who says Jews are Smart?
Jewish World Review ^ | 11/3/'08 | Jonathan Rosenblum

Posted on 11/03/2008 8:08:04 AM PST by Zionist Conspirator

Arab-Americans overwhelmingly support Senator Barack Obama for president. So do Jewish-Americans. One of these two groups either does not care much about the Arab-Israeli conflict and/or is stupid. My money is on the Jews.

The Jews have been displaced in the “smarts department” by the Chinese and then the Finns, neither of which are voting for Obama.

My Jewish friend overwhelmingly support BO. I cannot get thru to them. It's like a "cone of silence" descends upon them when I tell them anything negative about "The One"...........They refuse to listen to anything..........

Didn’t Jonathan Rosenbaum write an article with the same title four years ago?

What flaw do these wonderful people have that makes them want to get into those cattle cars for the long ride to the extemination camps every so many decades.???

I don’t get it.

Dennis Prager said that Jews voted Democratic to disprove the stereotype that they're smart. That may be the column or editorial you're thinking of.

There are times when emotions overwhelm reason. People who live in safety & comfort assume it will continue & no effort is needed to maintain it. Zion is only a concern for those who look at it as a safety net if the rest of the world goes mad *again*.

Emotion tells them that it could never happen here... It could never happen here... It could never happen again & support for little Israel is unpopular with the “world community”, so it’s best to just cut loose all ties & support for her.

Liberals have most definitely an incurable disease, that's including a vast majority of AMERICAN Jewish voters!

One exception from the rule is President Ronald Reagan!!

I feel that the Jewish people here have NO attachment to Israel, (party comes first) with all their problems with the Arab world around them, It makes absolutely no sense, unless they feel they have it made here in the U.S. and they could care less to what is happening in the Middle East!!!

As a Finnish American, I believe that a majority of Finnish Americans are fairly left wing, and are likely worshipping at the feet of the Obamessiah. It has certainly been true of my extended family.

My wife and I use the gym at the Jewish Community Center in Memphis almost every day (their membership for a senior couple is a really good deal) and we have worn our McCain/Palin T-shirts there almost every time.

Both of us have received compliments on our attire from several members, so support for Obama, while evident, is far from universal. Most Israeli Jews know how dangerous Obama is for their interests, and some of that has penetrated into the American Jewish psyche. Not enough, but at least some.

"..Many Jewish students struggle against being identified with Israel, lest it complicate their social lives. In the under 35 cohort, only 54% profess to be comfortable with the idea of a Jewish state..."

smart intellectually does not have a good track record historically for a very long time of having smart political instincts

clever and industrious is not always wise

some of this can’t be helped, the insistence of living as a group within the host is bound to be fraught with pitfalls

replacing God’s word specially for them with this notion of creating a new society and a new man has proven to lean left at least since the Progressives of the mid 1800s

it’s providential, always has been

wish I could help them but too many of them see me as the enemy

This column has confirmed my suspicion that support of Israel among American Jews is overrated. In the end, Jews who actually live in Israel are the ones who are concerned about Israel. Otherwise, McCain would have easily locked in the Jewish vote this election year.

As the article points out, it seems most American Jews don't care a lick about Israel and don't see what happens there ever happening over here to them. The "don't you care what's happening in Israel?" argument falls on deaf ears to them. It is an utterly naive way of thinking. It's time to quote the smartest man in America, Thomas Sowell:
In a nuclear age, one country does not have to send troops to occupy another country in order to conquer it. A country is conquered if another country can dictate who rules it, as the Mongols once did with Russia, and as Osama bin Laden tried to do when he threatened retaliation against places in the United States that voted for George W. Bush. But he didn't have nuclear weapons to back up that threat— yet.

America has never been a conquered country, so it may be very hard for most Americans even to conceive what that can mean. After France was conquered in 1940, it was reduced to turning over some of its own innocent citizens to the Nazis to kill, just because those citizens were Jewish.

Do you think our leaders wouldn't do that? Not even if the alternative was to see New York and Los Angeles go up in mushroom clouds? If I were Jewish, I wouldn't bet my life on that.

American Jews should be scared to death of an Obama presidency. The man doesn't have the moral compass to NOT do this if it came down to it. And there's no way in hell he'll prevent the possibility of such a situation.
