Not me! Not most of us here on FR. In fact it's quite the opposite.

Well, then, you need to meet a different sort of Jew.
It was an Egyptian fertility rite, celebrated in Egypt. There were no “temple priestesses” in the Beit Hamikdash.
Whoa! Don't yell at me. Yell at God and Moses. They're the ones who said it. It's right there in Exodus.
He did pressure Arik Sharon to forcibly evacuate Ghaza and four yishuvim in the Samarian hills. Both of which were pure folly and lead to more missiles and attacks, not less. Some “peace”. He also constructed a “Road Map for Peace,” which shifted the onus to the PA to actually do something, but which they ignored and Obama turned on its head.
Rats never did anything for anybody
You won’t even let me get a yell in edgewise. My neck is stiff. Gotta go.
There was a Tank McNamara (sports cartoon) where 2 shrinks were trying to see if they could ‘cure’ Marge Schott (former owner of the Cincinnati Reds) of her anti-Semitism.
So they showed her a picture and said “This man is Jewish, how can you tell?”. She says “I can’t”. Then one shrink looks at the other shrink and says “Progress”.
My point being that for people who never dress or otherwise behave in an orthodox manner, they simply cannot have a clue as to whether anti-semitism even exists, they have to get all of their information from their ‘news’ sources, and if their trusted sources (including their friends) are saying Trump is anti-semitic, then Trump must be just that.
That’s what I think is happening here.
I recall everyone being upset with Sharon over the Gaza withdrawal, but not GWB or U.S. foreign policy pressure. I thought that Sharon himself and like-minded Israelis were ready to offload responsibility for the Pals in these areas.
One might almost say “stiff necked”.
A few fishermen two millennia ago alleged to have seen Jesus walk on water, “
A few fishermen?
You haven’t looked very deeply into Christianity if that’s your attitude.
Nicodemus and Paul were two of the top Jewish scholars in Jesus’s day. They both learned about Jesus and became followers.
There is much more to learn if one has an open mind.
What has become known as "Easter" had its beginnings in the context I've already described. Pagans used their "festivals" as excuses for fornication. That's why many of the jews at the calf were so excited. They were emulating their lives in Egypt.
Thanks for being “a different sort of Jew”.
Funny, all my Jewish friends and family love Trump.
it Is a burden, genius. Chosen to bring the Ten Commandments and more to the world.
And the rest of the world was humping rocks and trees.

I never understood why most Jewish people vote Democrat. Especially now when there are certified anti Semites in their ranks. Maybe enough will see the light.”

Yeh, I don’t get it either, especially when so many conservative Christians here in the US support Israel and Jewish population. I’m Southern Baptist and my church makes at least two trips to Israel per year.
Here’s the explanation for the whole mess: Torah. Is it true? Is there a G-d? Infinite, so he can create and sustain the Universe, and personal: so that we can be in a relationship with him. And, if he exists, has he spoken to us in terms that we can understand? If so, then we are obligated to acknowledge him and walk in his paths. This is not complicated. Leftist Jews are Jews who have abandoned the Torah. They retain the cultural affectations of Judaism while denying the power of its source. There are many [understandable] reasons for this, given the history of persecution and holocaust that have characterized the Exile. In other words, “Man, this Torah has gotten us in hot water for so long it’s high time we gave it a rest!” As Larry King said, “look, I don’t believe in G-d, but I’m totally into being Jewish.” That’s the reason why there are leftist Jews. Once you detach from the Torah you begin to drift, and eventually you find yourself in direct opposition to the word of G-d. This is what also happened to Christianity at large. So now, we have a remnant in both camps whose basic values are drawn from Scripture. They recognize that without the Torah there would be no Western Civilization. Their numbers are growing, and if there is any hope to save America it will be found there.
Thank you.
Great explanation of the leftward drift of both Christians and Jews.
