“U.S. Jews Revolt Against Obama”
Translation: Only 92% will support and vote democrat. down from 95%.
True. Rahm is very close with Israel, Obama is a Saudi mole. Israel and Saudi Arabia are much much closer allies than people realize. The Saudis want the Victory Mosque and liberal Jews in NYC did not say a work. A few conservative ones did like Pam Geller but that is it. d Koch, Bloomberg, Abe Foxman think it is a great idea.
Unfortunately, you are about right. I wrote about this in CT in 08’ to the Jewish Community (mine) because our foreign President did not hide his Anti-Israel opinions. It is amazing that a community so affluent and educated was unwilling and unable to predict Obama’s conduct; conduct entirely in keeping with his education, his statements, his associations, his core beliefs. And he still has Jewish support, for the most part.
Living in the trenches, I would cite the following cultural causes:
1. 3-4 generations of marriage to the Democrat Party;
2. Deep-seated mistrust of Conservative Christianity (whose ranks Israel has come to rely on as its only ardent supporters)
3. High levels of Education in the Northeast and in California=Leftist indoctrination.
4. Sermons about “Social Justice”, leading to Socialist values.
5. Failure to go on line for news and opinions=reliance on local and MSM sources
