Why do the Jews in the US continue to vote democrat?

They are so pro-Palestinian and just pro-Muslim in general. With this last stunt by Obama, will any US Jews defect to repubs?

You would think they would dump the Dems after Obama stabbing Israel in the back.

Secular pseudo-intellectuals vote democrat.

Believe it or not, most Jews aren't Zionists

All my people at Temple Sinai that I'm related to or know from there are all #MAGA. Maybe they are an anomaly but at least their stingy stereotype also falls in line with politics.

I have had this discussion IRL for 50 years with my Jewish friends and the best explanation I've heard is as follows:
Democrats sell themselves as champions of minority rights and protectors against 'tyranny of the majority.'
Jews are the smallest minority in the US. This is why they are wary of the Christian majority and favor organizations like the ACLU and the Southern Poverty Law Center. I know Jews with college degrees who are convinced the KKK is alive and kicking everywhere.
You could call it paranoia.

It's a mistake to assume that all Jews are religious or identify with Israel. They're far more secular and liberal than a lot of Republicans assume. All the Israel pandering might help win votes with evangelical saps who think they're paving the way for the rapture, but it ain't winning too many more Jewish votes.
And AIPAC is officially non-partisan; they'll work to get what they want from whomever is in power.

this is my sister and mother. Israel is their #1 voting issue. I always ask why is Israel so important to a white girl living in BFE Louisiana. She always starts in about God.

Democrats since the Civil War have the been the party that has reached out to immigrants in building their electoral coalitions. Republicans have tended to be Nativist and haven't changed. Trump ran on an anti-immigrant platform.
Plus Jews given their history of persecution support the party that tends to support immigrants and minorities. I don't blame them.

Trump ran a campaign against criminal illegals not immigrants.

Most western Jews are purely cultural and give no shits about Israel or practicing the faith.
It's the same reason why more US Catholics vote democrat than republican.

I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan (Revelation 2:9)

Uh, no. Evangelicals don't have to pave the way for anything God does.

What about his banning Muslim immigration part?
Posted on 12/25/16 at 4:47 pm to tiger1014
Because the vast majority of conservative or nationalistic Jews left the rest of the world to go and settle in Israel. The vast majority of the liberal pantywaist Jews stayed where they were.

There ya go, take one sentence from a speech, leaving out the rest of the story so the context of that sentence is completely destroyed. Typical liberal piece of shite

He also re tweeted this from Huckabee:

Our Country, our @POTUS abstention condemns Israel. Without US support Jewish homeland might not survive. Most neighbors want her destroyed
He also re tweeted this from Huckabee:

Obama gives Israel middle finger; gives Iran wet kiss; he's hates Israel for building bedrooms more than Iran for building bombs.
