Do you want the real answer? Or do you want the GOP answer?

It doesn’t help that the stereotype of Jewish people as being arrogant, hot-tempered money-obsessed pricks has been around for 600+ years. Not excusing what happened to them in the Holocaust though as it was an atrocity. However, stereotypes don’t just come from nowhere.

So the Republican Party is the Party of education and hard work now?


It's the party of self accountability. You're free to be lazy, but expect many fewer freebies.

Jewish Americans are living proof that high IQ and wisdom are often enemies.

Actually no. You have it reversed. Jews HATE Christians, and I suspect that’s why they continually vote against the Republican Party since it’s founded on Christian virtues.

However, Jews have the tendency to be ultra-woke just to fit in with the rest of the crowd. It’s a combination of both in my opinion.

Depending on the country, much of Europe repeatedly expelled Jews, confiscated their property, and restricted them from working in many industries. Therefore, many Jews gravitated towards being lawyers, accountants, and jewelers (jewels being easily concealable and portable if you had to make a run for it.)

One of my cab drivers in Israel was convinced it was American Jews got Trump elected. I had to explain to him that American Jews were of the self-hating type

Trump was actually able to garner a good chunk of the Jewish vote due to his staunch pro-Israel beliefs. That’s probably the only reason why they even voted for him to begin with

Well to be fair, that view of the family hasn't exactly shown to be clean across the board for key members of their diaspora like uncle Karl, Lenin, Trotsky, and the later legions of neo-Marxists they produced to include such stalwart heroes and heroines as Walter Benjamin, Judith Butler, Hannah Arendt, Susan Sontag, Georgy Lukacs, Marcuse, Max Horkheimer, Rosa Luxemburg et al who were not all that supportive of the concept of the stable, viable, balanced, contented nuclear family as the very foundation of western civilization.

As for Miami Beach one of my favorite vacation spots, once heard it said in a comedy skit that "any attack on Miami will be taken as an attack on Israel herself."

Orthodox Jews tend to have a lot of kids.

quote:

For anyone who adds a soul to the Jewish people is considered as if he built an entire world.” (Rambam, Hilchot Ishut, 15:16)


Also, like many other persecuted communities, they tend to turn inward to protect each other from outsiders. Novel idea, I know.

Because Republicans are seen to be persecuting minority groups.

Republicans are seen to be anti-Muslim for example.

A Jewish person's probably going to be thinking, if they're anti-Muslim today, it's going to be fairly easy for them to be anti-Jewish tomorrow.

I’ll give YOU a historical reminder. Hitler killed several million Jews, including the helpless, in the name of Christianity.



I see we have a real doctor of history on our hands here. Hitler acted in the name of Christianity! Learn something new every day. Especially when talking to Leftists who constantly re-imagine history to suit their current political attacks.

Not saying he right or I agree with him… but a argument could be made by some of Hitler’s own words regarding his disdain for the Jews…he ain’t wrong in a certain context

Good gosh you are stupid, Christian fundamentalists want to kill Jews?! Wtf? Where do you come up with this crap? Give an example in the last 200 years of history where Christian fundamentalists plotted, attempted, or actually killed Jews on a large scale and do not try to claim Nazis were Christians or the Klan.

Wrong.

You are clueless full stop.

We're talking about how Jewish people see the Republican party, not whether the Republican party is actually persecuting Jewish people.
