Mystery Question Of Life: Why Are Jews So Overwhelmingly Liberal?

[NJCardFan]

Can someone please answer this for me? Obama has continuously sided against Israel. Helen Thomas is bleating on about telling Jews to go back to Poland and Germany(where they were treated so well at club Auschwitz and other camps). The left wing media is decidedly pro-Palestinian. And yet Jews in this country are as nearly liberal and Democrat as blacks are. Can someone explain this to me?

the tend towards social liberalism which makes them crawl in bed with the rest of the left wing.

1. There's a difference between "Jews" and "Israel".

2. Jewish people in this country tend to be better educated, tend to live in liberal areas (like New England), and have been victims of social discrimination, all of which tend to lead to social liberalism.

Wow, never could see the "liberals are more educated" bullshit coming.

Actually, Jews in Israel are on par educationally with Jews in the United States you dunderhead. The difference is religious. Jewish people are more conservative the more they practice their religion. Those that dont practice their religion tend to be more liberal. Same goes with any religion.

Which means that conservatives actually believe what they profess while liberals are ok with religion as long as it's viewed as a hobby.

Well, I guess you could be right. Just like how liberals hate this country, Jewish people can hate Israel.
