I have never, repeat: NEVER - understood the relationship between Jews in America and the Demorat party when it comes to support for Israel. I still do not understand that skewed relationship and their apparent abandonment of that country and their lack of insistence on the firm and strong link between Israel and America.

I left a comment at Flopping Aces, Wordsmith. Excellent post!
Perhaps American Jews have simply quit caring about Israel. What else could it be?
I don't understand it either Wordsmith. It is the same way with black people voting democrat. Republicans have done more for them, but their prejudices and preconcieved notions are stuck in their brains and that is all they allow themselves to see.
Jews will give Obama 72% of their vote, according to latest pollng.
After centuries of being persecuted in the name of Christianity, they just do not trust mixing government and religion, rightly or wrongly.
As traditional underdogs, they stick up for the disenfranchised -bleeding hearts, as they say.
As minorities they distrust all government and view liberal politics as more open to their POV.
..just an opinion, of course....
