America is indeed the best friend The Jews have, and I have never gotten why the liberal Jewish crowd like Boxer et al have been such disruptors. On the flip side The Jews are a large part of what has made this country great. Their contribution has been huge. The Jews get things done, and nothing could be more American.

...I have never gotten why the liberal Jewish crowd like Boxer et al have been such disruptors.

Two possible reasons.

1-Israel isn't an important issue to them.

2-See 1, they're voting on other issues, not Israel, no matter what Pab says.

3-To whatever extent Israel matters to more liber Jews, there's substantial disagreement as to the best course to take.

Many (a majority in the US?) would secure Israel's future by withdrawing to essentially the 67 lines, at which time they could hold hands and sing kumbaya (sp?) with deactivated terrorists.

Naive, stupid, I think so. But they do honestly disagree.

An example of individual Jews who have contributed much to America is Irving Berlin, who wrote: 1) the best Christmas song (White Christmas); 2) the best Easter song (Easter Parada); and, 3) the best patriotic song, God Bless America.
