All good points - punctuated by entertaining sarcasm.

I have part Jewish heritage, was raised without any formal religious education, and studied religion as a minor in college. I have great respect for and affinity to the spiritual side of Judaism, and can't understand for a second how so many Europeans and Americans, including a significant number of secular Jews, choose to side against Israel - a strip of land in a sea of Middle Eastern hatred. I recently had this conversation with one of my best friends from college, who is a very liberal American Jew. He absolutely hates Trump, and hates the Christian Evangelicals. I tried to tell him that generally Evangelicals are very pro-Israel (I'm not an Evangelical, but this is my impression from my interactions), and that most of the anti-Semites I've come across in life are liberals. He didn't want to listen to this, as it doesn't fit with his leftist Democrat world view.

This is part of the reason why I left America for Israel. The lunacy is too much. When Obama was inaugurated, my Tevye sense started tingling, and I knew it was time to go. Trump is wonderful, but the lunacy is still there, and I’ve had a half century of it already.

Liberal American Jews are utterly convinced that evangelical Christians are somehow going to force them to be baptized. I guess hide under their beds and do it in the middle of the night. I am not exaggerating, I have heard on multiple occasions (Interestingly enough 9 times out of 10 its from a female doing this!) telling that me that if there’s ever an evangelical Christian President there will Imperial Russian-like programs against Jews.
